Welcome to my blog!

Well I gave in and thought it would be a good idea to start blogging my mid century finds. I love mid century furniture, and anything else mid centuryesque. I feel like it's a good idea to archive my finds. I live in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area and I love it. I don't think I'll ever leave! I have read so many great blogs, that have inspired me to start this one. So I'll start off with what I thought was a very successful estate/garage sale. You know those estate sales, that are advertised... as an estate sale and it's basically just a garage full of stuff? This was one of those... But to be honest this was one of the better sales all summer! I couldn't believe that nothing was priced. Come to find out she was just giving this stuff away.

P.S. Sorry about the photos, Believe me quality is important... these are SO rushed, and so unprofessional. Next time... It will be an A-game.

Best find EVER! I have always had a thing for pole lamps. Only set me back a couple bucks! It was a mess when I bought it, covered in cigarette smoke and dust/dirt. She said her mom had it in the basement for years. It definitely showed.

 

 

 

 

Found this small silver condiment caddy

 

 

 

 

Loved the style of this pitcher, come to find out it's made in Michigan! Got to love the price... (free)

 

 

This was again a great deal (free) she was just giving this stuff away. I'd say these have to be '50s. One had minor damage, but the rest are mint. 





They all had Starbursts!

I zipped right past this set of tables in the driveway, I figured they would be too expensive, she made me a great deal on them. 

The underside of the tables have this marble design, which is very unique.

 

 

 

This was not from the estate sale from above. I got this for free too as a bonus for buying a desk at a thrift store (pictures later).
