Thrifty!

March 4th, 2010

I also picked up a few other things while on the thrifty rounds. This ceramic lama and bull are hilariously weird and SO heavy. The bull is branded with with like a WS (I think) but otherwise unmarked. Love the crazy texture and blue lips, it’s like they are suffocating under all that ceramic fur weight.

I also picked up a cream Eames side shell chair on a low lounger h-base that needs a little bit of restoration love and a flokati fur pillow.

    Those sculptures look like petrified chia pets. You find the best stuff at your thrift stores. Pittsburgh PA has so much crap to root through.

    Hi, I have an Eames chair with the same base and it’s missing one of the foot pads, just like your chair. Where do you find replacements?
    Thanks!

    I had a Playdough tool that squeezed out strings…kind of l ike a meat grinder. I think the animal artiste was either a child or a butcher…either way, I can see that these were a “must-have”, if only just to prove that such things exist!

    Those are kids sculptures man. Can’t you see that? I made art like this in the first and second grade… Garlic press hair, brown everything, heavy enough to bash someone’s skull in… total markers of elementary school sculpture. My mom collects silly stuff like this cause as a teacher she feels bad that come kid’s parents dumped their ‘art’ at the Goodwill. lol.

    Pretty great. :)

    Love the llama and bull…cute and unusual. I can see why you were drawn to them, they do have an odd appeal. I’m so jealous of your fabulous finds. In Philadelphia, its hard to find such nice stuff cheaply.

    Hi, I actually have the same question as Jackie about the missing Eames chair foot pad. Any advice would be appreciated. =)

    Thanks.
