The Last Thing That You Acquired #30.  

Found this IHQ teak danish...
Found this Jens H. Quistgaard IHQ teak danish cutting board/ serving tray at a local bargain center. Hoping after some conditioner the cut marks will lessen. 2$

I have that same Dansk
board! Love it. Some mineral oil will bring it back to a nice vintage patina.
I gotta get mine out and put it on display in my new kitchen.

in the eye of the beholder
I stopped by my local thrift store just as they were wheeling out a big ol' feeding trough of wares onto the floor...and when the dust settled this pretty turned wood bowl had gone completely unnoticed... no designer name or makers mark...so no value to the resellers, but a gem to me. $1

Wow, that is a gorgeous...
Wow, that is a gorgeous bowl. What size is it?

"put a bowl on it"
Thank you Leif, it's a nice size...about 11 inches across the widest part.

today
I stopped at my fav resale store to see the gals, and they were saving this print for me. I will have new matting installed (and wash the glass...). It makes me feel pretty, plus it was inexpensive.
Hi.

and the backside.
why not?
Aunt Mark

Nice save
You have it made! They save all the good stuff for you. It looks like Peter Shyuff's paintings, but he is current so its not him.
Very nice print! (Even if it is not BEIGE)

Thanks EamesHead.
Hi.
Aunt M.

You have the eye,
Mark. I like the new photo very much, and the print (?) by Nelson is divine. What do you think the medium is ? The image is yummy . . .

do the ladies just
LIKE YOU? Or is there some kickback action, some RECIPROCATION??? Truthfully, I'm not sure i want to know...

It's easy.
I am exceptionally polite to the old gals (who are all volunteers), I never haggle over the price, I re-donate most items, and I NEVER enter the store without fresh baked cookies (or something) and either a bottle of vodka or white wine (Liz and Iris love white wine). Oh, and I always pay using cash. Just basic thrift store etiquette.
With love,
Your Aunt Mark

Today the gals from the resale store
came running outside to give me a gift for my old cat Mr. Chopper. Poor Mr. Chopper has always had a bad habit of playing in his water bowl..in fact he will jump into the shower with you. So I must keep a tray under his water bowl, this being tray #2. He does have a large water bowl in which to play in outside on the patio (what a fu$k(ng mess). The plastic tray is Jonathan Adler. The bowls are Hall pottery (I have a ton of it..), and the cat food is Science Diet for the elderly cat.
And I'm your Weird Aunt.

thrift store etiquette?
Indeed!
Its easy to see how you would charm them Mark. (Even without the food and drink)
But I should be bringing white wine, vodka and fresh baked cookies to MY Goodwill store. They would all faint. Maybe then I would start "finding" better stuff.
Nice JA tray!
My own "Ray" has a Jonathan Alder stylized head vase with some beautiful old dead flowers still in it that have now become a "hair-do". Go on, blame her.
And say hi to Chopper.

well
I do try to be polite. I try not to make messes in the aisles. I don't rip the tags off...
But no white wine. I go to some pretty rustic places, it might cause a scene.
