Several weeks ago I posted a picture of a cool spindle chair I found at an estate sale for $15. The fabulous Dana of Mid2Mod tipped me off that it might be an Arka chair by Yngve Ekstrom of Sweden, circa 1950's.
I had the chair valued and confirmed as just that. What a find! The chair is valued at $500-$600. I am keeping it and it's found a home in my front entry at the door way. I just love the open, airy design of this chair and the oval shaped seat.

And check out this fun 60's modern lamp I picked up on Ebay. I thought it might work well as a pop of color in the baby nursery. We shall see. I'm obsessed with lamps so I'm still perusing Ebay a couple of times a week.

WOW! Nice find on the chair.
I try to hit estate sales once in a while and I find that they still don't understand how popular this market is, with a lot of them still stuck in the "if it's not an antique, it's worthless" attitude. Bad for them...but great for us, right?
Nice find! I love the stuff you favorite in your Etsy store too! You're in my circle, ya know. ;)
Just added you to my circle and as a favorite!
Great deal on the chair! I love that shape. And the lamp is super fun.
Interesting chair!
Love the "Panton" plastic lamp and clock.
I still browse lamps on eBay. Don't we all love them? :)
Yaaaaaaaaay about the chair! What a find! The lamp is great, and it will look fantastic in the nursery.
