When I’m in need of a creative battery recharge a trip to
Flower Child does the trick. The first time I walked in the store during a Gallery Hop night and saw that they carry vintage (that’s $200 more than “used”) mid century and Danish modern furniture my heart went thumpa thumpa. Husband and I popped in to look at chairs for the living room. Fortunately I brought my camera because there were treasures a plenty!
I love the design of this sweet little TV set. I think it’s the bright orange color that does it for me. Since I don’t have use for another TV, this photo will go up on the inspiration board in my craft room.
A whole case of old school sparklies – drag queen’s delight!
A glammy gal to go with the glammy jewels. Yep, it’s
Miss No Wire Hangers herself – Joan Crawford in an art deco frame.
Me: Hey honey, what do you think about this chair for the living room?
Husband: (fends deafness)
Because…
He found a big stack of laser disks and the player for sale! It’s a sad, sad day when you realize the uber technology of your childhood is for sale in a junk shop that uses the words “retro” and “vintage” to describe its wares.
Pass the Geratol please. *sigh*
Yes, it really is a condom machine. Because who
doesn’t need one of those in their bathroom?!
Me: Wow, that’s something you don’t see every day. A chandelier made out of tacky dolls with pink and blue hair.
Husband: Wow, that’s something you don’t see every day. A chandelier made out of tacky dolls with pink and blue hair with
rings impaling their foreheads!
For $425 it can be yours.
I love the use of monochromic blues in this display. Makes me lust after those (possibly) Fiestaware pitchers – and I don’t even use the color blue in my kitchen!
Creative batteries back at full charge.
Minus one living room chair.

What a cool store! I defintely would be in trouble there,Did I see the price tag right on Ms. Crawford's pic- $95? LOL on your hubs and the laser disc... I remember my uncle bought a laser disc player and I think he had a total of three laser discs to play on it before DVD took over!
PS. BTW did you get the chair?
Sounds like an entertaining day even if you didn't get the chair.
Hahahaha awesome! I LOVE stores like that.
PS I would agree with you both and say that the dead Barbie chandelier is way creepy.
Robj98169 - We didn't get the chair. I'm stil on the hunt. Yes, Joan's photo was really $95. I decided to store it at the store.
I have to say that one mans trash is another mans treasure and thats why I love garage sales. You can always find the most interesting things for a heck of a deal! As a matter of fact i might have a garage sale sometime within the next 3 months haha but we'll see, anywhoo i gotta get back to work, thanks ya'll
