Woman Obsessed: Don Harvey “Bones” room divider

I know I know…that is a strong title, but I truly am a little obsessed with this room divider on the Big E (here).  As soon as I saw it, it blew my mind with its awesome-ness….then I read the actual listing and found that the seller has four…that is right FOUR of these.  How much vintage karma do you have to cash in to get one?…let alone four!  Check this thing out!

Oh man…there is no way I can afford this (or would spend that much bank on one)…so that means I have to figure a way to make one for myself.  I’m planning and plotting the method as I type…stay tuned.

So I'm on a sort of self enforced Ebay restriction since we are saving up for a house...but that doesn't mean I don't still look!  Here are some of the cool things that caught my eye this week...Several of these are a steal if they go for the opening bid.



Cheers!

The ones that got away....

Ugh...have you ever had that item that slipped through you fingers and it still haunts you? It doesn't seem to matter if you missed out last week or last year...you still get worked up thinking about it.  Man...this is going to be one of those.  I have been searching for a pair of matching mid century lamps for our bedroom.  Ones that have a great look but also don't take up a lot of valuable real estate on the nightstands...and I found them!  Then lost them....Sadness.

I was feeling good about the big E auction and then in the last ten minutes the prices skyrocketed to a price tag out of my reach.  They ended at $816.00....Ouch.  I tried to seriously rationalize that price for like two second...then realized that all of the furniture in our bedroom (Broyhill Brasilia) plus my pair of Pearsall hangings didn't cost much more than that combined.  :::Sigh:::

I love you....you sexy things

This is some serious lamp porn

They even rotate up!

So lately I have been obsessed with mid century sculptures....I think it is my own artist in me speaking out!  I need to start drawing and sculpting again!

Anyway....here are some I have been watching on the big "E".  Enjoy!

MAIL CALL!!! Happy little trees....

I almost thought I wasn't going to be able to report this one!  I have been eagerly awaiting this package since winning the auction on the big "E"...which for me means checking the delivery confirmation a few times a day because that will make it get here faster...Yes? (Please say I'm not the only one that does this).  

So anyway, I was excited yesterday when I saw that it was marked delivered!!! Sweet! AND then not so happy when I got home to no package.  WHAT! I grumbled all night, mainly because I had this same thing happen last month with two packages that were delivered on the same day.  I thankfully received those, but only because the people who received them in error were honest and came to the house a week later.  I tried calling the post office but the lady I talked to said their tracking system was down and I would have to call back...which worked for me because she had a SERIOUS case of bitch-itis...she must not have been having a good day.

By now I'm starting to think it might be karma, since when I showed this item to one of my best friends he was like....

"Are you bidding on that tree?"  - J

"Yeah" - Me

"Me too" - J

AWKWARD.....all I could think is Oh shit....should I still bid on it?  But it is so awesome!!! What to do what to do.....then the next part of our conversation put everything in perspective.

"Game on" - J

"Well....I was the first bidder which makes it mine" - Me

"Not how Ebay works sweety" -J

At this point I was cracking up...Game on indeed.  Suck it! I WIN.....you can come and visit my trees but you are getting frisked on the way out.  AND since when I got home today my package was on my doorstep there are actual trees to visit.  

Everybody...the trees

the trees.....Everybody

Happy little trees

They have found a new home!

They now look super fab in my shadowbox...I think they were made to go there!
