I picked up an interesting album at the thrift last week.
It is called "Disney meets the Wizard" (by Roger Ericson & His Men/ part of the Percussive Stereo series)
It is a percussion version of both Disney & Wizard of Oz songs.
My record player is in storage & I'm dying to hear this album!
Does anyone else know anything about this album? Good or bad?
Any info is appreciated.

At $2.00 it will be added to the ongoing project of turning the backroom into a hut for less than $20 (not counting artifacts). I’m up to $14 so far and nearly complete.

The auction sez that this is "Top stuff for Sabu heads!"

Sabu heads? I wonder if they are anything like Deadheads or Parrotheads?

I guess that would explain all the tents I always see around Sabu's house and why there's always folks following us around when we go garage sale-ing...

I used to work with a guy who collected matador paintings. until then I never noticed how many there are at thrift stores. I see them everywhere I go. Not just paintings but figures too. Incredible how you just don't see something that's in front of you until someone points it out.

Sweet Daddy - I got a complete set of multi-colored Party Girls in a handy-dandy little plastic case after an intense bidding war on Ebay nearly 6 years ago! I think I paid close to $50 for them! If you paid less than I did then I would personally say you got a hell of a deal! :)

Can't remember -- I think it was $3.99 or $4.99 in a bag with some other stuff I didn't want. Thought it was kind of expensive, but I'm a cheapskate.

It reminds me of an extreme version of those knick knacks in the 60's that look liked something quait and turned into a portable bar. I've seen Hollow radios, a castle and assorted music boxes. It would be nice to see a fold away bed that becomes a fold away bar.

Here are afew of my more favorite finds from this seasons fea market, antique mall travels.
first up is a Heywood Wakefield very modern round table with spacey swivel chairs. It's not blonde wood, but sooo differant looking. I found this being used as a sort of workshop table for a dealer at a antique mall. Table top in was in bad shape, but I used furniture restore and it now looks great.

Bruce was purchased from a antique mall.He is a very nice and unusal manny. Then I have the kids. This is one of 3 small sized mannies, and I also have "Chip" whom most of you have seen in another post, dressed up like a pirate, he greets everyone to my as yet named home bar and lounge.

It looks like this one:

Oh ya, it was priced at $19.99 but I was able to talk them down to $12.99(I was hoping for $15 or less)

Nice finds everyone!
alot of fun stuff to see.
(a paint by numbers Jesus? for free? GOLD!)
Naugatiki- very swingin coffee table bar. very 007 style & $50 is a great price for one of those.
Tikifish- imo, your tray looks to be a decorative bowl, but I reckon it could be used as an ikebana as well. I've seen similar, but not exactly like yours. it's nice.
Exotica59- I love cool retro stuff & that bowling ball bar caddy is friggin awesome! (nice sputnik also)

I scored this cool sunburst wall sculpture months ago.

yea, that bowling ball trophy cracked me up when I first spotted it, and now I've seen several.

Bigbadtikidaddy that sunburst wall hanging is just too cool! I love it.

Zebratiki the best thing about those star or sun burst clocks is that almost everyone I've ever bought still works! I'm lucky if the new battery op. clocks we have today last me a year before they crap out.
Since I'm off for the next couple of weeks with some broken fingers, I'll try to take some more pictures of the stuff I have around the place. My husband says I have a real problem with lamps, and I've got some wild ones. I have them crammed into all the closets around the house. I just can't pass up a cool old 50's lamp. I've got it as bad as the tiki bug.

I found one of these sunburst clocks, made by Westclox Canada for $4 at the Value Village.

not too exciting but easy to draw. I won't have to draw much longer, I ordered a digital camera last night (from the shopping channel :oops:)

Sweetdaddy... your drawings (in lieu of digital photos) remind me of that Citibank commercial where the guy is at his desk at the office and the pictures on his desk of his family are really just clear frames with his actual family posing behind the frames. The tagline is "Can't wait to get your reward?" with an image of a digital camera in the background of the commercial.

Looks like you can't wait to get yours either!

I feel like the kid who sent away his boxtops for a decoder ring and is bugging the mailman every day... Is it here yet? Is it here yet?

Pepe - Love those Salt & Peppers! I personally would have no use for them, yet would be unable to keep myself from buying them.

Now my eBay tip #12 - Charles Wysocki jigsaw puzzles.

Folk-art jigsaw puzzles turn up at garage sales every weekend. Two years ago, you could buy them without a second look and turn them around for good money on eBay. Nowadays, however, you have to be more selective. Check the date on the box. Any puzzles from the 1990s and 2000s are better left alone. You can't get more than a buck or two apiece. However, the Charles Wysocki puzzles from the 1980s are highly sought-after. Buy them without qualms. And if you happen to find one unopened, then you stand to make even more money. Here's the one I found last weekend for a buck. I'm pleased with the current bid, but it may go even higher. As they say, some people's trash...

$110 for a cheesy Charles Wysocki jigsaw puzzle that's not even 20 years old yet!? This one surprised even me. Honestly, these puzzles aren't that uncommon at garage sales and thriftstores. You might want to be on the lookout. I wonder what the early "Painter of Light" jigsaw puzzles are going for now? hmmm. (I'm such an eBay whore).

How's this for a Beyond Tiki Find? I was at work Friday and decided to get a drink from the vending machine I reached into my pocket and sorted through the change when I came across this...

Image Missing: http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d930b3127cce92ea1f9b260e00000016108AbMmrNs0asz

...I'm not a coin collector or anyone that hardly pays attention to the change in my pocket but this is cool! Sure I happen across any occasional old wheat penny but not only have I never received one of these dimes, I've never even seen one before! I was hoping this would fund my retirement but no such luck...

Aren't Mercury dimes cool looking! Why do modern coins suck so much? Buffalo nickles, Liberty standing quarters...so much better.
