It's time for a cocktail! 🍸 Imagine you're the hostess with the mostest, behind this extraordinary tiki-style bar! Slinging maitais, piña coladas, mojitis, and daquiries! Don't worry about getting the neighbors tipsy, they're not driving home, they're just next door! Make sure to put the 🍍 out as decor.

How gorgeous is that table?! Red and gray cracked ice Formica, with two removable leaves. Six, newly reupholstered chairs, in gray cracked ice pattern vinyl with red glitter vinyl. Love the bow details on the chrome legs and the chair pulls on top of the chair backs! Very kitsch! Pretty sure Lucy would have had something like this and Ethyl wouldve coveted it! Everything is better in Technicolor!

I'm getting a real Handmaid's Tale vibe from this cookbook. Originally published in 1901, The Settlement Cookbook, The Way to a Man's Heart. This is the enlarged and revised 1949 edition. And that author, Mrs. Simon Kander! Poor thing doesn't even have her own name on the book! Just an extension of her husband. I know it was the standard of the times, but poor Lizzie Black Kander deserves her own due. She was actually a progressive activist who toiled to bring better conditions to Eastern European and Jewish immigrants. This book was a fundraising vehicle to do just that, selling over 2 million copies over the years.

Absolutely kitsch, totally not PC, handmade, hand embroidered Cowboys and Injuns twin size quilt. Yee haw, pardner!

I'll take a chocolate malted! Vintage soda fountain swivel stools from the Sony Pictures prop department. No idea what movie or TV show they were used for, but they'd look great in your diner, eat-in kitchen, man cave, etc. Red glitter vinyl, 24 1/5 inches tall, bolt to the floor. Eleven in total, DM me for price or any other details you need.

Pot Pills Powders -- it started off so promising! Great read for the weekend, right? But no, they have to get all judgemental!
You're harshing my buzz!

Vintage butcher/grocery scales

Awesome Mid Century atomic style lamp. Zigzag & balls by Howard Kron. I know the shade isn't period appropriate, but it's what it came with, and for now it's a good shape and fit for this lamp.

Big day coming tomorrow. is having their soft opening of a new showroom/market in space #338 in the , which is on the main mall near the closed end.
So come on down and check us out at our soft opening (I hate that term, rates up there with moist!). We hope to see you there!

Doncha just love that Mid Century version of America rustic?! And who could forget the style importance of the pom pom! So versatile, but they always say fun!
More taste than money, it's usually the other way around!

For my local SD peeps. I'm sure you recognize this landmark. A lot has changed over the years. Who knew that where the was, used to be a drug store?! (you'll have to zoom in to see the neon sign over the door)
The clock tower is gone, but the eucalyptus and palm trees are still there, just a lot taller!
