this chair rules

i recently came across this desk chair made from vintage rulers and yardsticks! it's completely sturdy, using a chair frame, which is then covered in a collection of old rulers from local companies. what a great way to display a favorite collection. i love how the various kinds of type and colors combine to make this one-of-a-kind item a work of art.

coming soon!...

weathered industrial green floral frog

mid century brass antelope bookends

small silver treasure dish

golden pheasant friends

huge glass and cork terrarium jar

lucky brass elephant

glass and cork display cloche

plus lots of unique industrial vintage on its way that still needs to be photographed...

holiday ~ on the way...

just a few of the pretties making their way soon

sneak peek!

wooden cottage wall plaque

retro olive green mail organizer

gold man moustache mug - looks like roosevelt!

...just a few of the new old things that are on their way!

just staying put

sometimes i find something that i have all intentions of photographing and listing immediately, until i get it home and realize that it's just too cool to part with right away. such is the case with this antique apothecary drawer. it's currently residing on my desk filled with spun cotton partridges and autumn gourds. love it!

ringing in october!

hello, to one of the prettiest months! let's hope for less rain and more filtered sunshine, less heat and more cool afternoons, less wind and more colorful leaves - still on the trees, not the street. xo
