Mod rockin'

We found this rocking (two ways!) lawn chair at an Estate Sale in Bellevue for $5. The estate sale was actual INCREDIBLE and had a Danish buffet/credenza that looked like the Jetson's had a teak interior theme. Too bad it was like $2,400 which was a bit higher than my taste.

It was one of the few estate sales we actually showed up early for and got to see all the mid-century resellers of Seattle... they don't look that friendly to outsiders and amateurs such as ourselves.

Definitley a salt n' pepper problem

While not Danish (from Japan), I couldn't resist getting these super tall salt and pepper set. I'm happy that they came in chrome metal instead of brass as the mid-century can be too brassy sometimes. Also Goodwill, for like $4 a piece.

We might have a candle problem too


(One of many) Dansk candle holder for mini-taper candles. Found at Goodwill for $3 or so. Also allegedly Jens Quistgaard though I'd love to find a book that shows exactly which ones he really did...

Seattle appropriate vintage



Atomic, Space Needle shaped salt shaker and pepper mill. Found at Goodwill for a buck a piece. Made of red-colored/stained wood and brassy-colored metal.



I liked the shape of them. Though they further my salt/pepper problem.

Dansk vases - meant to be united


Cute set of 2 vases made by Dansk and designed by the ever so famous Jens Quistgaard. Amber. I found these over 2 separate Goodwill trips, which is a bit insane. Sold for $15 on ebay.
