Venus on the Halfshell Vintage

Did your grandma have one of these hanging in her house when you were growing up?? Amy Black Mainprize & I found this at an estate sale this morning! Hollywood regency baby! It’s massive!! Bassett Tryptich Mirror (1960-ish)

UPDATE: SOLD!!!

this painting was just screaming out to be “altered”….. i looked at it closer.. theres a graveyard… so i thought.. hey ghosts.. ta-da!!!
It’s at Room 3 Vintage in OKC
$66.66
yup that’s right.. the price is very fitting i think!

This is stuff i love to show ‘n tell!! MCM 50’s tiki-style basketweave pattern “BEEHIVE” lamps!! friends allowed me to take these off their hands because they were “trashed” dirty, broken… i disassembled, scrubbed, painted the metal, stained the legs, new light…. phewwww
took them to my booth at Room 3 Vintage and cross my fingers they don’t sell - shhhh don’t tell Amy! lol (I want these beauties in my house!)
$275/pair yup they are worth it- try to find some!!❤️

I DID IT… I went back to the rummage sale, took Amy Black Mainprize (the born negotiator) and bought 80 more character glasses… here are just a few groups.. *** What glasses do you remember having as an 80’s or 90’s kid?***

rummage sale goldmine!!! i left probably 50 more i should have bought, holly hobbie, snoopy, flintstones, muppets, star wars… but i HAD to get the Smurfs!! they will be in my booth at Room 3 Vintage in OKC
