Pilsner Libbey Glasses and more....

What a weekend so far. First, the best news. Broyhill Brasilia Gentleman's dresser, for $100! Tomorrow we are going to pick it up, so I will chronicle tomorrow entirely. Good or bad. What a steal it will be. I already have a Brasilia dresser and Ely doesn't, so he is thrilled to say the least. At the same time, trying not to get his hopes up too much- with these things you just NEVER know. 

Anyway, today we found some fun things. 

First, at the Fremont vintage mall we came across a wonderful, old, and in amazing condition set of Sears luggage. It looks like two of the pieces were barely used, and for less than $75 you can get the whole set. Photos:

Now on to the furniture...

This piece has been in the mall for a few weeks now, and the price has dropped down to $190. Just about its only flaw is a hole in the back (for cords to go through). The Brasilia commode. If it gets any cheaper me and Ely might have to get it!

What we DID get today, however, was some amazing Libbey Glasses in a nearby thrift store. PERFECT condition, seemingly unused. And don't they look perfect in the Brasilia china cabinet?

Some other amazing finds. And all in one day, except for the Blenko bowl, that was a couple days ago. For $12 we got the large bowl and matching smaller bowl. 

It's been a long, hard day of looking for things at thrift stores, so me and Ely are going to eat some ice cream now. TTFN!

We are two Seattle boys looking for the treasures that we have fallen in love with. Broyhill Brasilia is our holy grail but we enjoy other aspects of Mid Century decor- (we like the modern things but it isn't the end all for us.) Here we plan on sharing with you our finds through our adventures in antique malls, estate sales, thrift stores, peoples' garages, and of course- craigslist. We hope that you are as inspired as we our by the amazing pieces we find, and that you will share with us in return.

As we begin our adventures with you we like to share a few of our recent favorites......

These, we found at the Aurora Antique Pavillion: http://www.auroraantiquepavilion.com/

It was our first time visiting this store- we were AMAZED at the volume of pieces available here. Furniture, glass, accessories.... everything. The prices were not too bad either, especially on kitchen stuff and vases.
