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!

CHENILLE- WEDDING RING

   When I was looking for bedding, I wanted something that was genuinely mid century and would go well with my Broyhill Brasilia bedroom (more about that later). Ely said there is nothing more mid century than chenille bedding, so I went on Ebay looking for something.
   I found lots of chenille.  It seemed sort of country crafty but some of the pattern and color combinations had a very modern feeling. The "wedding ring" fabric I especially loved, so I bought an amazing green one. Pictures Below.

Soon after, I spotted the same exact bedspread on Mad Men Season 1:
