Change
People say that change is for the better. I disagree. I found this photo at an estate sale the other day. What a great shop.

Drinking to forget and other random stuff
I show alot of things that I find on this blog. This time it's different. This is a picture of something that I missed. Another dealer got to it first and it is currently for sale in a local antique mall.
This is a great hand drawn illustration. If you are drinking to forget....Please PAY WHEN SERVED!!!
I spotted this along the road last week. I WANT IT!

Iron Gates For Sale
These are really a nice set of iron gates. They are definitely pre war and probably date to the 1920's. All hand wrought and heavy as f*#@. They measure about 56 1/2" tall and about 34" wide.
Some of you may not understand my attraction to things like this. Let me explain it like this. These gates were made entirely by a black smiths hands at a time when men actually worked for a living. That man had hands like catchers mitts and calluses as thick as pink pet erasers. He created functional works of art that will outlast us all and I like that.

California Girl
I went down to San Diego's Big 3 swap meet last Friday and what did I find? This...
I have a habit of doing things wrong. Most were buying vintage speed equipment and other things rare and valuable. Hell, I had a friend that was pushing a cart with vintage tool boxes stacked to GOD. While these people were buying the things that I should have been, I set my sights on this pretty lady. I don't know, she just spoke to me. She wanted me to save her. I like her. She reminds me of a 1940's Catalina Swimwear ad.
