Lamps & Lawn Chairs.... Oh My!

My newest auction scores! I think I just needed an auction fix, a little me time, and a new hair color...

2 more J.R. Bunting metal lawn chairs....that sorta match the metal glider and rocker over at BachelorVille... I love J.R. Bunting lawn furniture. Oh and a Mexican blanket.

A pair of ceramic bedside lamps...that I think go really well with my other lamp.

I haven't been going to the amount of auctions I could be going to because I've been really trying to simplify things around DeluxeVille. Plus, woowza auctions aren't so cheap to go to anymore! I really should start collecting other things besides mid-century because as soon as the auctioneer throws out the words... "retro", "50's", or "50's style" bidding goes nuts! Gone are the days when nobody wanted kitschy lamps...well except for me anyway! Plus, lamps like these are getting harder and harder to find....I usually only run across lamps like this once or twice a year.

  3. Love love love them all, especially the 1st lamp WOW! I have a friend who imports from the US and he has fabulous lamps but by the time he's brought them in, they are super expensive, so I can get them, I just can't afford them! Well done on your finds!
