schätzli vintage: blog: the "junked" tiffany lamp and some garage sale finds

8.12.2011

there was a request for a picture of the junked tiffany lamp. Here it is! Pretty much perfect condition.

Some free vintage books I scored from our local library.

Ohio's Lincoln Highway garage-sales yielded:
some vintage bias tapes...

pretty trims...

teeny-tiny rick-rack

lace trim

the smallest bias tape I've seen(!)

and EIGHT of these beauties (antique barnwood 16x20 frames) for less than 50 cents a piece!

oooooo! I love great deals. The Ohio trip was worth it ... even if we'd only just gone to that one sale. :-)

This Blog

Hello there, friend! My name is Lisa, I'm a wife and a mommy, a daughter and a sister, a friend. I'm silly and sarcastic, contemplative, sensitive and creative.

I love making and appreciating beautiful things, hunting and enjoying else-loved treasures, laughing with friends and eating sweet things. I love the country and think I was probably born in the wrong era. I am a sucker for vintage, dresses and anything European, like tea. Especially tea.

I've also lived in the third world, can't throw a water bottle away (or anything for that matter) without thinking about where it will go and my part in caring for the world.

I started this blog to update supporters on a European volunteer journey I took 10 years ago and it's morphed into stories and DIY with a smattering of vintage and handmade. I write about whatever is me (piano teacher, mommy, sign-maker) for the moment.

Thanks for stopping by. :-)
