OMG! Yes, leopard. Fantastic chair! Here's a little something that a friend of mine gave me.

Marwal. This was sitting in a neighbor's house and she said - whoa, Kiki would love that. So he gave it to her for me!
She ahs a little ding in her eyebrow, but other than that, really good condition. Would it be blasphemous to touch up her paint there?

Picked up a coupla cool books, today, First, the wife grabbed this Victory Edition Wartime cookbook, c 1943, dedicated to General MacArthur!



Second, I grabbed this America's Greatest Home Plans book with a bunch of killer Atomic Ranch plans & color images.:





Very cool book & well worth the 5 bucks I paid for it.

Rick,

Keeping with the building plan theme, I found this Sunset Book last week...


Might even get around to building one of the smaller A-Frames in my backyard someday!


I also found a box of someone's old 8MM home movies, so next month, when it cools down I will be having another Home Movie night outside on the patio. I probably have around 200 or so reels of other people's home movies. Fun to watch and a window into the past for sure!


Due to the volume of Exotica and Hawaiian albums I have been buying lately, I needed somewhere to store the albums I am listening to and rotating them out. This record stand should do the trick!

Later,

I found this piece of groovy art at a street sale in Clovis, CA, last weekend...

It's about a foot and a half high and is from 1970.
The guy selling it said it was by a carver in Grover Beach, CA. The seller's wife had banished it to the garage. It was covered in thick dust and had apparently been "sprayed" by a cat - I found this out the hard way while initially cleaning it! Some elbow grease and some wax paste seems to have brought it back to life.

The base has a cheap little florist foam block and plastic flowers in it. It needs to go. Does anyone know what originally could have been there or have suggestions as to what would look better there? Thanks

I would bet that originally it was meant for plastic foliage. You could fill it with those colored glass bead things but I think some fresh plastic plants would be more fitting to the era of the lamp. Great find.

Until I saw it was 2 adults in the picture. And that it was intended for Swingers!

I found a pair of those here for about the same price. I then resold them for $25 online.

I have to admit...i miss those glasses. The pioneer club stuff is pretty collectible.

Great find :)
