BLAST OFF! SHOPWIDE SALE SAVE 15% OFF MOST ITEMS IN ETSY SHOP.

I will be quiet the next few weeks due to vacation but just added a quick sale to encourage some sales before I leave. I do not get paid when I miss work at my part time job so appreciate the support!  Send your friends! All sale prices are updated and expire WED JUN 21 at 12AM, which should give me enough time to pack and ship before I leave.  I will be OFF THE GRID for most of our vacation and therefore will put all of my shops on vacation mode so no one gets mad if they do not hear from me for a few days.  

I am adding new listings here and there too.....so keep checking back! 

excluded items are furnishings and Frank Lloyd Wright items.  Everything else is included. Always reach out for a deal or negotiation, I am very flexible!  Thanks and have a great week!  

and for some fun from last weekend......went to see a great band in Philly, Girlpool. While visiting we stopped to see a Futuro House.

UPDATE:SOLD!!!!!

yes, I was at the Futuro House in Willingboro, NJ last weekend!  Love it!!!!! And I found these cute salt and peppers.   

this Futuro House can be found right in the Mill creek Park, Willingboro  

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!! Malissa

My trusty friend lives minutes away! I think he secretly loves my crazy side trips but would never admit it!!! 😜🤘🏼 

Hoppy Easter, Berks County Area Thrifting and Shopping Guide.

Have a great holiday to those celebrating!  I had a busy week! The McCobb bench is on it's way to Chicago and the lucite and brass table is packed and being picked up next Wednesday.  That said, we did not ship the 52" glass top and my buyer is replacing with a larger one.  If you are regional to me and need a round glass top and this 1/2" thick beauty will do, $100 and it is yours.  Let me know!  

​Spring shopping here in Berks County and into Lancaster county is picking up and in a few weeks there is a big Extravaganza weekend.  ​You will want to come by Renninger's Kutztown renningers.net for Thurs, Friday, Saturday shopping the weekend of April 27, 28 and 29th, then head to Adamstown Sunday 30th.  I don't find tons of mcm furniture at these events but there are great finds to be had.  Here's some lists of area thrifts in case you can make it to our area.

ADAMSTOWN

just south of Reading is Antique Mecca in ADAMSTOWN. Prices are high here but it is worth picking around. I have found deals! Definitely check out Mad Hatter Antiques as there is the most kick ass MCM booth in the back with the most CatherineHolm you will ever see! You can pick up a map there for all area stores. I have never done more that 2 in a day and you could seriously spend days there. In the summer, nearby Shrupps Grove has become my favorite flea market. I think they are closed for the season now.

​You could say I just shared my shopping secrets with you, but I assure you, these days I am shopping estate sales and people are connecting me to others selling so no worries, they are no secret! 😜✌️ 

i will be headed to Maryland once again for the MidAtlantic Pyrex Swap near Baltimore.  Had a blast last year and looking forward to seeing folks I know, fellow dealers and make new friends.  It is a fun trip and hope to find a few more snowflakes I need for my collection, make some trades and come home with some fun stuff.  ​

Our Saturday space at Columbus Flea in NJ last weekend. 

A friend and I just sold some stuff at the Columbus Flea Market in Columbus, NJ near Trenton.  It was a huge market, Sunday being the better day.  If you are in the region it is a great day trip.  ​

i have tons to do today so off I go.  Reach out if I can help you with anything! ​

Spring into redecorating!

I hope we have seen the last of our snow!  It's been a long winter and I am ready for spring.  Certainly most of you feel the same! What better way to make your spring cleaning special than to add a key new piece to your home?  I am stocked with some real nice items and have many in my restoration queue!  My newest acquisition is not mid century! In fact, it is fairly recent.  A discontinued showroom model.  This amazing sofa is from Schnadig Furniture, a company that has stood the test of time!  Known for their high end pieces since the late 1800's, this recent production is hands down a fine piece.  I picked it up because as I am connecting more and more with interior designers, my eye is also connecting to pieces of interest to them and my clients.  A bit larger in scale than 50s era furnishings, I enjoy the curved shape and lack of arms.  The back is as beautiful as the front and this piece would do well in a home or office setting.  Over stuffed and comfy, it comes with a set of pillows but I envision it meshing well with cow hide or even animal print,  the natural tan weave upholstery reminds me of an oasis and contrasts nicely with the dark mahogany finish. This piece was never used in a home. The upholstery is perfect and there are some minor bumps and bruises on the finish from handling that I will tend to before delivery.  It will be available in my chairish shop shortly for those who need freight shipping. Reach out if I can get you a Deliveright quote for the Mid Atlantic and the Southeast regions.  I will try to arrange local delivery myself but will need my husband and our Vanagon to accommodate so the stars will have to align!

A stunning piece!  The ample throw pillows are nice but I envision this piece with some wild throws!  How about you? 

Here's a clean view. 

The back is gorgeous.  The details in this piece are great.  It is worth much more than what I am selling it for. If you have shopped for high end new furniture lately, I am sure you will agree!   

Here's a pic so you can really see the curve! Shown with a great Milo Baughman knock off revolving glass top table (also available but not listed)  if you are into the brass Baughman designs, this piece fits that role perfect! Even a fab Hollywood regency glass top table! Ooh la la! 

My etsy listing is live and the chairish listing is in process.  Will probably be live by next weekend.  Let me know if you are interested and I will help you quote shipping options.  the best way to communicate with me is email or Etsy messaging.  Chairish is extremely difficult to work with customers directly as there is only a public comment area.  

KITSCHY KITCHEN FIND

Also just listed!  Fabulous mod iron daisy kitchen light.  This fun light will make a great focal point over a dinette set!  Painted surface features a glass globe.  It is on very good cobdition with only some minor wear and tear.  It will be checked for shorts before it leaves here.  Reach out if interested in a shipping quote before you check out!

It is all metal including the white shade and daisy accents.  Globe is glass. 

The light will be checked with a multimeter for shorts and nuts wil be installed in the bare wires so you can easily install at your home. 

i am off to hopefully make some progress on my weaving.  First chair is all glued up and waiting for a seat! I also just received a glass shade for another pole lamp we are working on.   My living room has been taken over with projects! Have a great week!

I love the shape of these!  Ready to weave!
