Currently Hunting

A Very Specific Calling Card Tray

I saw it once in at antique market, but it was on hold for someone else ;^;I'm desperate to find it again!

A Couch

Retro or antique, velvet and rust-orange or olive green.

Fairy Lamps

Any colors/patterns! Preferably blues, greens, and ambers.

A Vanity

I have a pretty, 1920s dresser with dark wood and pretty patterns. I want to find a makeup vanity that will match its style.

A Large
Format Camera

Any niche (press or field), as long as it's 4x5 and in good condition!

A Typewriter

Not sure what kind I want yet... something baby blue and mid-century? Something early 19th century?

Antique Telephone

Or antique-looking! I've got a phone nook in my old house that I want to put a (semi) period-accurate telephone in. Ideally the old cradle-style; gold accents are nice to have, rotary dial is must have.


Adventures in Antiquing

Little 20 minute, post-dinner run to the local Goodwill.

Treasure Haul

No treasures this time! Thought I found an olive green depression glass pitcher my MIL is hunting for, but it was the wrong pattern.

Thrift Log 1

Feb 7, 2025

Visited the city today and went to an old antique mall I used to frequent when I still lived there. Prices seemed higher than they used to be! Unfortunately we had heavy rain the past month, and the mall had flooded; staff were helping vendors reduce prices and log damage. I actually didn't see much damage (but it was a little stinky!) No treasure this time :(

Catch & Release

The find of the day I begrudgingly let go was a signed Charley Harper print of a harp seal, for sale for $500 ;A;
