By searching the subjects of vintage rattan, oriental lamps and Big Bear on San Diego Craig's List under the categories of furniture by owner and collectibles, you will find a number of items I finally posted again for your consideration. I inherited all these items from the estate of relatives who owned the Big Bear Hardware Store between the 1940s and 1980s. Watch for a few more 1940s vintage items to be added to San Diego Craig's List over the next week or so. (Special consideration given Tiki Central members.)

MORE PHOTOS ADDED: AAAArgh! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing! I followed instructions about how to add pictures and was doing great...until the tiger paintings duplicated themselves over and over, and now I don't know how to delete the extras. Maybe that's a job for tomorrow...I'm ready to turn in tonight.

By the way, further research on the net yesterday showed me I'm asking a bit much for the two Koa/Mahogany/Monkeypod wood articles, so I'll drop the price, but haven't decided on what to ask yet. Been too busy getting ready for company. I also have a three-tiered pretzel table (like the ones in the photo below) in fair condition I don't want to refinish and will be offering that at a quite low price in a week or so.

Also available next week will be a much smaller painting of a tiger on black with three-band bamboo frame--part of this set my stepdaughter decided yesterday not to keep for sentimental reasons, so gave it to me to sell with the rest. Stay tuned.

Cheers.

Someone out there may be interested in my postings on San Diego Craig's List today, July 22. Always the optimist, last year I decided I'd wait for the economy to improve before I again posted items from the estate I inherited for sale. Guess I was hoping for everyone's sake that would happen...but it hasn't, so I've drastically reduced the asking prices on the vintage furniture, art and antiques in these photos 'cause I need my garage back. (It seems in retrospect I had them priced too high in the first place, but I'm naive about these things, so please be kind.)

If you're interested, take a look at http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/fuo/1856331903.html and that will take you to the chaise lounge/recliner set. If you'll search my phone number listed in that ad, it will lead you to prices for the barrel chairs, two table-top wooden pieces, two Oriental lamps, two very large silk paintings and one smaller one. Don't know if it's okay to post prices here, or I would. Hope everyone's having a great summer.

1. Rattan chaise/recliner and matching ottoman--asking $399 for the set.
2. Rattan 46" rotating, glass-top coffee table--asking $395.
3. Rattan barrel/swivel chairs--two available at $95 each.
4. Oriental Pagoda wooden lamps--two available at $89 each.
5. Original paintings on silk (tigers) framed under glass in three-strand rattan--two LARGE paintings 46" tall x 20" wide--asking $125 each.
6. Original painting on silk (tiger) framed under glass in three-strand rattan, 21" x 17"--asking $95.
7. Carved Koa/Mahogany table decor: two-foot tall leaves--asking $69; Pineapple design tea set/lazy susan/6 cups--asking $75.

All reasonable offers considered. I REALLY, REALLY want my garage back! Help me help you, heh, heh.

Cheers,
