My Favorite Things, Part I

While out at estate sales, I come across all sorts of fascinating and desirable objects.  Like Oprah, I have a few "favorite things."  Here's a short list of discoveries I rarely pass up.

 Styles that take me back ...

... to the sixties. I was just a squirt back then, but the current obsession with the Mid Century aesthetic has reawakened my fondness for preserving the fashion, decor, toys and trinkets that dominated the decade.

J J Jonette made sweet pin sets like this.

Flower power really was a thing.

Asian artifacts

From foo dogs to ginger jars, silk kimonos to gofun dolls—I'm partial to the rich symbolism and artistry exported from Asia.

Foo dogs are fierce and fantastic.

I love the detail in this Asian Empress doll.

This beautiful embroidered jacket is smokin' hot.

Quirky and random stuff

Some of the things that turn my head defy description. I know it when I see it, and then it's up for grabs to the next quirky collector who happens on our store.

Now that is one cool cat.

Somebody will have fun owning vintage Northwest Airlines dishes.

I like small things like these intricate Mexican hatching egg sculptures.
