Oh yeah the vintage finds don't stop...if you thought these were good...then you'll love these items! A visit to Father & Sons Antiques isn't complete without all the quirky, weird and downright fun finds. Modern lamps are always great especially when paired with a black and white photo or mannequin head. And how about a fun horsey ride? Or a bucket filled with army men or name patches? I also loved (and was amused) by a selection of Indian charts filled with home cooking and science lessons. I'd say a pretty good start to the new year and week.
How is your start going?!

I'm loving the name tag patches! These are great finds :)
I love all of these. I'm sure there's something creative I could do with those name tags.
I love those name patches. "Grover"? For real?
I have started the new year very slow and quietly... Planning a few beach days, knitting and lounging on the pool for the next couple of weeks. The last couple of months have been so hectic, that I will just go on "summerholidays" for a bit :)
oh and i like your finds especially the homecooking charts
Loving the name tags!! ahh if name tags could speak..guess we'd be having some fun stories:P
I love that pair of lamps, I'm a sucker for dark green!
i love the lamps and name tags. WOW! such great finds.
those indian teaching charts are the best... i have an entire book of them!
I love the matched lamps with the mismatched shades.
i'm in love with that lamp base!! happy new year! good start indeed.
Everything is that much neater when it comes by the bucket!
Happy new year!
Lamps lamps and more lamps! LOVE it all and would happily take every one home. It seems like every week I gain a new addiction, and lamps are my latest obsession. These are GORGEOUS!
love the name patches....would love to sew "grover" somewhere on a sweater...
I love the bowl of army men!! Such fun and colorful pics.
I LOVE the midcentury lamps! Eek!

The home science cooking & utensil chart just does it for me!
i went flea marketing too! it's an addicting habit. i swear.
09 is great so far. an you?
happy new year! it seems somehow fitting to venture into a new year by exploring cool stuff from the past...
Lamps and mannequins are my favorite! Your post made me realize I haven't done enough thrifting this new year... time to get busy!
I like the glass container filled with the name tags.
Over my container weekend I found an vintage sewing basket (post a pic today). I like mixing a little of past and today stuff. Thanks.
That bowl of names makes me itch with longing. Oh, the shirts I'd emblazon ...
I love the top photo. Those two lamps look like they have a good thing going on!
Lamps, lamps and more good lamps! One of fave vintage things! Undulating shapes rule.
I used to have a horse like that!!!

I love the vintage horse :) All purply fantastic!
So far so good on the year!
This place is FABULOUS. I'd go bankrupt here!
Love the horse! These are great finds.
You find the coolest stuff, Diana. Those lamps would be perfect in my living room!!
I love the lamps, and the horse made me so nostalgic for my childhood- we used to have one just like that (and I have no idea what happened to it- I'm sure it probably was sold in a yard sale or donated to goodwill somewhere along the way! Sad!) Oh, and your photos are beautiful.
What a fantastic treasure trove!! I love the lamps you picked out, and I could truly spend days in this shop. What a great way to start 2009! :)
I'm loving those lamps! I wish I had more space for table lamps.
i want all those lamps!
The LAMPS! And I'm loving the home science chart...framed for my kitchen. :-)
I would have SO. MUCH. FUN. with that bucket of army men!
I love how those two lampshades are kind of leaning in towards each other - cute!
I don't know if you've done this already - but I would love a beginner's guide on how to shop vintage.
love the lamps. especially the green.
That horse is ghostly. All I can imagine is it moving by itself. Eeeeep!
My start to the year has been good! Science, Muntedkowhai and life in general is at peace.
i love those lamps - particularly the shape of the two in that first picture!
my first week is going great - i've taken it off as post-christmas vacation! what a fantastic way to start the year off. {i'm hoping it'll be an indication of the way the year will go?}
fingers crossed!
Love those lamps in the first pic. Just wanted to wish you a most happy 2009. I hope you have a ton of wonderful moments. I myself am just emerging from my self-imposed cocooning. I was so nice to just drop-out for a bit.
Wonderful vintage goodness. Super sounding store. Wish I could visit!
