You Win Some, You Lose Some



 After the Brasilia defeat we were (clearly) very discouraged. And unsure as to whether or not we could obtain the pieces we desire.  On Saturday, Justin went to the local Goodwill and missed out on another amazing dresser that was rolled out right past him... it was $30!! 




Then, today at St. Vincent de Paul  as we were checking out with some great vintage fabric, I looked down to see this (HUGE) amazing painting that was signed by Lee Reynolds! On canvas and framed. I grabbed it, but the checker said that it was sold. I wish we had the iphone with us, it was left at home so we weren't able to take a picture.

Today we even spotted a very worn out Broyhill Sculptra Modular bookcase for $50.  It was not in good shape at all, and would have taken too much work to get looking good!  But all was not lost this week.

I found some amazing items and Justin did too-  We know that the road to great finds is filled with many potholes and we just need to drive over them to get to the good stuff.




An AMAZING Conant Ball Russell Wright nightstand. I found this at Value Village for a mere $20! This will go beautifully in my bedroom- I just need to find the perfect lamp for it...



We did find this lamp, which is a beauty but too large for the nightstand. It looks great on Justin's Lane Acclaim side table. Mid Century kitty agrees.

more finds:



A cute Westclox clock that lights up, Syroco Inc. wall art, a mid century matador painting print,  and a  copper sailboat sculpture.




Isn't he dreamy?



TTFN

P.S.   Does anyone know anything about mid century, white, made in Japan kitty sculpture?
