Bluebirds of Happiness

Super cute vintage anthropomorphic bluebird pair on a branch. Marked Made in Japan. 

I believe these are Norcrest, but the label is missing.  In great condition, 

but the little birdie with his eyes closed has a very small flea bite on top of his head. 

For sale on Etsy for $35.00

Grand Opening of Estate Sale Antiques!

We just opened a booth and the new antique shop in town: The Estate Sale in Ogden.

 

The store had it's grand opening over the weekend and Ken Sanders from Antiques Roadshow was on hand to appraise books. This large San Francisco book appraised for $1,000!

Here are a few pics from our booth.

 The green Arts & Crafts period chaise lounge to the last sold right away.

The grand opening was a big success!

There's a little something for everyone.

1960's Zenith stereo console

We made a trip to the thrift store last week and picked up a nice vintage office chair. We were asked to pick it up in the back loading area and when we did, we saw this beautiful stereo console ready and waiting to get dumped. My husband asked them if we could have it. Well, with the thrift store they do not just give anything away (even if they were just about to throw it away!) but they let us buy it for "parts". The turntable needs a little loving care, but the radio still works and it sounds great. We were very please with ourselves!

We found a few other finds while out and about:

This cute little "Hippie Chick" bird planter...perfect for Easter

I really like the muted green color of this Spring Blossom Pyrex bowl set 

I love the Mid Century graphic on this West Bend bean pot

I couldn't help noticing the common denominator of all these wonderful vintage beauties...they are all made in the USA. Imagine that...we were once a country that actually made things - quality things! No made in China here. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get back to that philosophy?

Iron You Board of Chalk Paint Yet?

I purchased a lot of old ironing boards at an auction last month for cheap. (With my husband saying, "What in the...?")  I thought one of them would be the perfect canvas for a little chalkboard paint.

Perfect for the porch, laundry room or mud room, don't you think?!
