... and it's me! Found some fun things at a few local antique malls here in Jefferson County MO recently. Only 3 things actually were purchased though, can you figure out which ones?
Jeez, you have a great place to shop! I'm guessing the groovy clock, Black Label coaster (if that's what it is), and Service with a Smile ashtray/candy dish.
Two out of three ain't bad! The clock, unfortunately, was $130.00 (!!!) so I got the chain drinking glass instead --I've recently been told that Skymall reintroduced the chain drinking glass in their airline catalogs to the suave, hands free drinking world :)
Not that I'm trying to wheedle you out of your secrets, but what antique malls? I only know of a few thrift stores here (speaking as a fellow Jefferson Countian).
A few?! You're not digging around Jeffco hard enough, my friend! ;) --check out Funky Junk in Festus (especially the lower level), but most of the stuff I bought was from a resale shop in High Ridge where Betty's Books used to be.
I think, ultimately it's this Black Label thing that's my favorite here. I've seen lots of Black Label Beer stuff, but never anything with a cute cartoon before. The brand always seemed a little, uh, grumpier than that somehow? Also the manic three-armed man is really engaging!
Ah yes, Funky Junk. I've heard good things, but haven't been there yet. I haven't heard of the resale shop in House Springs. I live in northeastern Jeffco, so I'm not out that way much.
I love it too! There was actually another Black Label coaster at Funky Junk too, but it wasn't as interesting as this one (no 3-armed freak-out) so I passed on it.

ReplyDeleteI know you had to have purchased The Chain Drinking Glass, but where's the pic of the dress you bought to wear with it?
ReplyDeleteWear clothes while drinking?!! NEVER!!!
ReplyDeleteService with a Smile- that's how I feel (and look) somedays.
