Featured Finds Thread

I've found a few, not many, and from a source now closed to outsiders. Dagnabbit.

 

Another piece of linen to look for is almost anything signed "Vera" with or without a Ladybug. That would be Vera Neumann & not Bradley.

I have to take pictures of the linens I picked up at the beginning of the summer at a flea market. Some guy dumped a truckload of pretty much unused linens on a table and was selling them for $1-$5 each.... got some beauties.

 

We all would love to see your linen finds & the unused ones are definitely the best.

 

I have some and still see them....

 

wow, looks like a great score Peggy thanks for the tip on the linens, I don't see many but usually just pass by them.

 

Do they still do fairly well if any stains or damage?

 

I am sure they would not command the prices for the unused ones, but I guess depending on the pattern & the item there might be some interest. I know I sold some napkins a while back & they had been used. There were 4 & I think 1 had a tiny discoloration spot, but otherwise no damage. They sold for $36.00.

The pattern was the same as this one shown on Etsy.

Kitten found something in the middle of the yard and was chewing on it . I went to look and guessed it to be a cicada beetle/grub/whatever. So I went to check the tree trunk.

 

Is it my imagination or does someone need to get a room?

 

No - it just climbed out of its casing and is standing on it! LOL

 

Kind of a pretty thing, actually. Noisy, but pretty.

 

I can see it now, but this is about as close as I want to be to anything like this. I am definitely not into any type of bugs.

 

I hear they taste good deep fried.

 

MOONTHONG!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!
I almost spit my pizza across the room!!!!!

 

I did not even pay any attention to the seller ID & at first I had no clue what you were talking about.

What made me think about this designer is I found several pieces of her kitchen linens Monday afternoon that were NWT.

 

Hi,
I have eaten fried grasshoppers and chocolate covered ants, HOWEVER I have never eaten a cicada. I almost forgot when in the Navy survival course I have eaten live grubs.

I have even eaten 'chicken' at the San Diego - Navy boot camp the first day it was served! This is on the evening after there wasn't a single seagull to be seen at morning quarters at 3:30am where there were usually 100s standing around waiting for one or more of us to throw up......

 

I'm just guessing here but . . . was the "chicken" listed on the "menu" as "brined chicken à la Navy"?

 

I would only buy that menu if I were gull-ible.
