Ooooh Charles Ormond Eames !!!!!
I had studied the artist in Uni.
Known of his infamous chair in particular
that all men seem to go all goo and gaa over.
Adored the simplicity.
The contrast.
so
why so
Eames today ?
Well, all I can say is that I have rather surprised myself
and as I sit here with my 1st cuppa of the day
I am rather excited.
As you know I adore to thrift
(today I am not allowed as have a clearance sale to commence
and many gorgeous lots to put in my shop - makes me :( and :) )
and am so happy bumbling around
looking at things that simply catch my eye.
Is is a gift, a knack or just simple luck ? to find those SPECIAL things.
Recently whilst in a charity shop
I kept asking the lady the price of things.
She giggled as EVERYTHING I chose was antique and pricey !!!!!
Some things were not inherently beautiful, but just had a charm, an age, a strength of being.
She told me I had a gift - I smiled - She was a lovely lady.
So I bring you to these two little mischiefs that I brought home last weekend
that are now in auction.
The Eames Atomic Sputnik Coat Rack
The Eames Atomic Sputnik Magazine Rack
Hmmmmm - pesky little numbers eh !!!!!
Little did I know who they were,
they just took my eye
and spooky as they were being sold separately by two people a stones throw away from each other.
All I can say is yay for little gems
and as they give me a little excitement
I know that they do my bidders too
as all my weeeee auctions start at £0.01.
OK - I have a billion and one things to do
and another coffee to make.
..... and before I go
I will leave you with this monkey .....
Some people tell me that I should get books on antiques and read up
but
I rather like follwing my nose
falling in love
parting with a few pennies
and popping items in my shop
in auction
..... start them at £0.01 ..... and watch ..... as desire - hence - value are unique to us all.
This lamp shade sold for tumps/loads/lots
but watching and knowing it is so special
is priceless.

Nrrrrrd
It is such a strange feeling
when something so far back in your past
is looking right back at you ..... in the flesh.
Instant memories flood back, smells, feelings
and from inanimate objects
such powerful recollection simply ..... happens.
I felt this recently when spotting my new acquired Donkey Kong game
and for
£1
yes just
£1
I bought it with such glee on my face
the gentleman was so happy to sell it to me.
and now ..... it sits proudly on my coffee table
for visitors to play
me to play
or just look rather lovely, old and friendly.
To embrace my Nrrrrrdness I had a little look
for other games from my childhood.
The Little Professor
was not in my mind
but when I spotted it
I just laughed ..... I spent so many hours on this ..... wonder where it is now ?
UPDATE
he he he ..... found one for sale here
