Herpes, just kidding. The first one was taking ages to load.

Rarely go to thrift shops these days but had to go into town so checked one out.

An excellent little piece of woodturning, Tasmanian myrtle, concave base, no chuck marks and shallow with a thin edge. Very pleasing and humble, a slide rule in a well designed plastic case with an alteration by a no doubt bored volunteer and a pink glitter ducati T shirt, gay Italian bikers of the world unite and take over.

All for $3.50! Keep on drooling.

nice drool ...
thrift days are always fun!
here's pics of a few more recent items:
finally finished my Z chair resto and got the new cushions in.
and a couple of Miro drawings.
even after the chair resto and cushions, i'm in under $200 for all 3.

prints? Its amazing what you can get if you go every day or two, I don't have the time or the space anymore but my living room cost virtually nothing to furnish. You can live so well on the waste of others, just takes patience.

nope ..
originals. with the fiasco going on in the world of Miro authentification; i'm wouldn't even THINK of sending them in for a piece of paper right now. maybe in a few years things will settle ... or not. either way these are home for the long haul. even though my 4 yr old thinks she can draw better. LOL.
i try to live my life like a picker without the worry of reselling. i tend to move things when i need to make room or if i'm making some ungodly profit on something i don't particularly like. my wife thinks i should run a business, but i'm afraid it would take all the fun out of it.

Couple new things
Just got this fiberglass chaise from a neighbor. It sat by their pool for many years, now they want to sell the house so they are getting rid of everything that's interesting. A friend suggested naming it the "Banana Hammock" but I'm not sure that is a great idea.
Also bought this bin full of "rubbish" though I suspect it's actually art.

I just picked up this Finn Juhl 138 two seater sofa, We are going to keep this for ourselves it is at the upholsterers at the moment being finished in a Turquoise fabric.
I can't find any images of this sofa anywhere online which leads me to think it could be rather unusual.

I always recommend church sales...
I got this unmarked fella for fifty cents, he's 14" extended and the planter for two dollars, it's about 17" x 13" high. I live/shop in the New York area and people can get, to put it nicely, aggressive at the sales and I've witnessed more than a few fights. It's annoying at times but the fun of finding stuff like this keeps me going.

Nothing really special but will post it down to the gallery archive if they want it. The 1951 exhibition catalogue for Australias major portrait painting prize.

Laurel Floor Lamp Base
$2 at thrift store, including the decorative twine wrap. But, no shade. Another lamp to store in my garage while it awaits a shade.
