Limbo... better buy some cool retro stuff to pass the time

Here is a "still life" of some of my recent finds.

As you can see, I've been a little focused on Milk Glass lately. Trying to focus on vases....

But any seems to do. I don't know why. This would have been poor quality in its own time.

General "mid-century" patterns still appeal to me. I have yet to create an
actual dinner set. I am afraid, however, it will be more difficult, here in Indiana.
For, while the thrift is much cheaper than Montana, the selection is more limited.

I did find this amazing McCoy bowl, probably from the 40s, for $2! on my trip
out here. But, like all things eventually, it wasn't meant to be. It leaped from my
car the next day and broke. I thought, maybe the break was clean?

Alas. Some things aren't mean to be.
Incidentally, the towel in that first picture was $1 at the same store. It's a little
worn, but I love that color pallet. Meant for my future inspiration, I'm sure.
 
I was buying these colorful tins for my good friend, R. We found them for
anything between $1-$6. I bought a few for her last time I was here, on
the higher end, as she was my friend and watching the cats. These ones,
I got for about $1 each, a little less.

In Montana, I found these adorable brass star-burst candle holders.
Two for a dollar. I found a thirst for $2 here, but I thought it was right to
have more matching!

Amazing little Harvest Gold and Aqua flower wall-clock for $2.41.
Works and keeps time perfectly.

These mod-tile serving trays are perfect for bringing
beauty to the home. Says so, right on the back.



An original painting by... I don't know who... for $2.50.

Classic.


Still collecting deer.

And birds.

A still life with birds and bark-clothe table cover inside the trailer.

It's time the trailer started getting some decoration, don't you think?
