I mean, I love my house. But there is such a thing as too much togetherness.
So in spite of continual flurries, I decided I would make a truncated trip down Route 30, as long as the roads were clear.
But the Thrifting Gods were kind, and I uncovered a number of things I knew just where they would go.
I'll start with my most surprising discovery. See this little handled green crock?...
But turn the bowl over and...
That would be my cheapest McCoy piece yet.
Interestingly, at another store, one of the workers there was talking about how he feels there's no market for McCoy anymore. That he has quite a bit of it in the store, but no one buys it.
I'm not so sure about that. I think it might have more to do with the color of the McCoy rather than McCoy itself. As a McCoy amasser, I noticed his pieces myself as I went a-traveling. And I personally wasn't interested in it because it was almost all yellow. I haven't spied yellow as being a particularly trendy color at the moment.
I wonder whether if it comes back into fashion, people will be more interested in his pieces for their decor?
I just thought it was interesting how markets change.
Anyway, at the L&L Fleatique, I found a great mint green vintage desk lamp I simply couldn't pass up...
On my journey, I also snagged a bunch of these lamp crystals. I knew just what I needed them for, the question at the time was only how many I needed. Fortunately, I guessed correctly...
So that's the story for this Wednesday.
