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.
