Mid Century Modern Mr. & Mrs. Chairs


Did I ever show these to you guys?

Hello flower power, right?????? This is a really cool pair of mid century modern chairs, with the original upholstery.  They are in surprisingly good condition. I think these are considered mister and misses chairs. The taller one for him and the shorter one for her, obvs. I am pretty sure these are by Adrian Pearsall, for Craft Associates. Although, there has been some debate about whether they are Pearsall chairs. If you look for chairs and couches by Pearsall and Craft Associates, you will find some that are very similar if not identical, The full tags have been removed, but partial tags still remain which list Pennsylvania on them. Craft Associates was based in Pennsylvania. So... There you have it (in my opinion).

Most of my finds come from thrift or Goodwill Store, however, these did not. It was a friend of a friend sort of thing, Someone I know, knew a guy who needed some fast money and was willing to sell these chairs. I ended up buying them for $250. SCORE!

Asian Inspired Wall Plaques





Here are 2 Asian inspired wall plaques. One features a little girl, while the other has a little boy on it. They are just over 13 inches tall and measure approx 11 1/2 inches wide. They are made if plaster and have wire on the back to hang them. It is surprising how heavy they are! 

I bought them from a local Goodwill Store for $5.95, each.

Vintage Pillows






Pillows and linens are something you can easily find in thrift stores. Here are 2 vintage pillows that I purchased from a local Goodwill Store. The first one has a bird stitched into it. It is made of a course linen sort of fabric. I just thought the bird was fun and funky. The second one is a strawberry needlepoint pillow, with red & white gingham fabric on the back. I think the needlework detail is amazing! As you can see, the strawberry pillow was $1.91. I am fairly certain that the bird pillow was $1.91 also. Oh... Both are in very good condition. I wouldn't buy a dirty pillow (even a decorative one) because that's just GROSS!
