Stopped by a couple of Goodwills here in Columbus and hit the jackpot at the second one! I can not quite identify the chair but it has the hallmarks of an Adrian Pearsall design or it might be a Widdicomb. Paid for the chair then looked at the rest of the store- POW! an 90 piece set of Taylor Smith Taylor, Color Craft, Jamaica Bay china! I also got a nice teak magazine holder, too.
Like Jaques Cousteau, I'm swimming and exploring the oceans of vintage modern.

Wanna chip and some dip to go with it? Status: I like chips but I don't like dips
I was out thrifting in Columbus and I only found a couple of nice chip and dip sets. I found this California wear set at a Village Thrift store; it had a red $8.99 tag but red tags were discounted 75%! Wish it had it's lazy susan...

Hit the old hometown this week Status:Bopfish-a-rific glasses and two end tables
I had to go to my hometown to give my dad a lift to his doctor's appointment in Columbus. I gave myself plenty of time to hit all my secret treasure sites but the booty was kinda thin this trip.

Surrounded by sound Status; Bubba approved
Before there were actual surround sound systems you had a lot of audio engineers experimenting with wacky speaker concepts like the Allied/ Radio Shack Nova Omni speakers that Bubba is sitting by.

the saucer pans have landed!
I was very lazy this past Friday and did not leave the house until late in the day. I was driving in the Clintonville section of Columbus when I felt a magnet force drew me to the curb and me turn my engine off; I left my car to investigate what turned out to be a flying saucer base! Here is photographic proof that aluminum saucer pans are living right here in my city!

Vintage 1957 men's magazine Status: Va-va-voom!
I found this June, 1957 issue of Nugget magazine at a very cool garage sale (where I found the flowered curtains and the two American of Martinsville end tables). It's in pristine condition; let me share a bit.

McCobb chairs from the Goodwills of the world, unite! Status: copying Mr. Modtomic
On my birthday, last november, the Thrift Gods (Salvi, Goodwin, Volam and all the other lesser deities) decided to give me a great big present of two Paul McCobb arm chairs (host and hostess chairs)!
