Thrifty!

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I received these little Jens Quistgaard tiny taper brass Dansk candle holders in the mail a few weeks back. A surprise gift from the east coast – thank you Wes!

Let me divert your attention to the elephant in the room behind the Dansk cuteness…

I picked up this ceramic elephant at a little antique store for a few dollars and I swear I’ve seen him around the interweb before. My memory is failing me and I can’t seem to recall where he comes from…

I have this nagging feeling that he is Italian. My feelings tend to be wrong…

He is rad nonetheless.

So if anyone recognizes him, pretty please help jog my memory.

Thrifty!

What did I get at Modernism? Absolutely nothing.

I did hit up a nearby thrift store (of course) and for $4 I brought home a couple of small ceramic pieces to add to the ever growing collection.

Suck on that Modernism.

Seriously. Not Thrifty!

Two Magical Beasts.

If only I had a single piece of vinyl, I’d be scratching and popping and locking all night long.

A dusty busty Senorita. Good thing Salvation Army put her by the cash register. You wouldn’t want anyone to walk away with this three foot tall bright red gem.

CRAP. CRAP. CRAP.
