Southern California Craigslist Finds

I go in waves. I took a loooong break from hunting Craigslist because I was over the spammers and scams and also because the "good deals" seemed to be long gone. Boo hoo, I know.  Well, I'm back at it and guess what, there are good deals to be had, you just need to dig through the hundreds of vintage, mid century, etc. listings.  Who knew...j/k.

Here are just a few I spotted today in the O.C.....

Mid Century Design is for the Birds. Literally.

In this case, mid century is for the birds, and it looks super cool!  I came across Mid Century Wood Shop on Etsy and fell in love with the atomic inspired bird houses.  If you're into 50's and 60's design, these might be for you.

The houses are like mini atomic, or googie ranch homes.  They are hand-made with real wood and sealed with a non-toxic sealant, or painted.

Paul also crafts modern planters and plant trellis:

New Vintage Finds! Space Age, Industrial, Mod.

I've been pickin'!  Here are some of my recent finds:

Clip on yellow lamp. Love these!  They're so versatile: office, loft, reading nook, bedroom...

Industrial, minimalist "bullet" gooseneck lamp. 

Here fishy, fishy, fishy!  Ash trays?  Not sure. Mid century coolness?  Yes.

Tulip base General Electric table top clock. I can't resist a tulip base so I'm keeping this one!  

Space age-y mod Hallmark Ricoh "flip" clock. Made in Japan. 

Mod round mirrors in green.  Fun for any room in your home.

70's style mod mirror. Not my thing but I know someone wants this in their grooovy pad.

Fabulous ball lamp on bright yellow base.  This one is staying with me, for now anyway.

Atomic tripop plant stand or ashtray.  I have one I use as a planter and I'm debating if it needs a friend...?

Whenever I see mid century electrical plates I snatch them up.  These beauties would look perfect in a Regency setting.

Mid century mod door knobs.  Make one door very happy!

Mid century Rya-esque red rug.  Great color palette.  Puuuuurty, huh? ;)

Plastic fish paper plate holders. Get your retro BBQ on.

Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend friends!
