Find of the day
This is my find of the day, not worth much but for my Shriner friends, Priceless. We did pour out the Burbon. It smelled like old age and sadness.

Getting Ready for the Big Game.
In addition to selling in my shop I also have an Etsy store where I channel my horrible addiction to cool and weird thrift store t-shirts and excellent vintage clothing. Here is one of my fav finds.
Few pieces of clothing are as reminiscent of the heyday of America as the iconic 1950s letter sweater. I was so excited to find this classic piece of Americana recently.
This fantastic sweater is all wool and in a very attractive combo of navy and white. This thing is straight out of an episode of Happy Days. I can just picture a handsome young pitcher, star of the team, standing on the bleachers looking out over the field. Sun glinting off of his blonde hair and jutting, rock hard jaw. Proudly sporting his team's colors in the form of a wool, v-neck sweater that'll drive the cheerleaders wild.
One of the best parts is the fact that it still has the original tag attached.
This was a recent acquisition so this sweater is still available at:

This is a great piece for any rockabilly fan, modern greaser, or just anyone into the 1950s. Check it out in the Etsy shop...and who knows, you might find something else you like.

Bust Cream or Food!
Find of the moment: Bust cream rustic reprint. Originally published in 1897 for Sears, this is a reprint on planks from 1983.
I absolutely love this. If any part of me had a rustic sensibility design wise, this would be in my powder room. Alas, that is not the case. So off it goes to the shop.
As some of you know, I have a little antiques both at Antiques Etc. as well as having things at my good friend's shop H and E Furniture here in Denver. Subscribe or follow me for more weird and wonderful goodies.
