The Vintage Bazaar haul

Oh my favorite vintage flea market, once again, did not let me down.  Although being a vendor at the fabulous Vintage Bazaar in Chicago this May was a blast, being a shopper....well, it is cool getting first dibs.  Here are the finds that found their way into my truck.

Believe it or not, I do not buy every old globe I see, but when I see an old beauty like this it is no brainer.  Wonderfully patina'd colors and a metal black base.

A little creepy maybe, but a bin of mannequin arms was just too weird to pass up.  I have a few ideas, but we'll see if I can structurally find a way to make it happen.


A great ole metal scoop. I think I might make it into a shelf, or even just as decor on my porch would work.

The hours I spent playing this game. This is not a remake, it is the original 1981 Atari tape in its original box.  Look for it in an upcoming project.
The picture does not do this 80's quilted bag justice.  Flambe red and straight up fabulous.

If one vintage bead necklace is good, three is always better.

I still haven't figured out what I am doing with all these retro board games that I have been hoarding, but this one was a childhood fav, so in the stack it goes.

and finally my favorite.  This darling jewel toned owl.  He has found a very nice home amongst my houseplants.
