More Vintage Finds

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 love those name patches. "Grover"? For real?

Deniz said...

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 :)

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!

Lamps and mannequins are my favorite! Your post made me realize I haven't done enough thrifting this new year... time to get busy!

Joyce said...

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.

You find the coolest stuff, Diana. Those lamps would be perfect in my living room!!

Courtney said...

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.

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.

Unknown said...

love the lamps. especially the green.

Unknown said...

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.

Unknown said...

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!

raining sheep said...

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.
