Austin Scavenger: Pink 60s Hairdryer
Austin, Texas

We love craigslist and now Kristin has spotted some finds in Austin. What do you think of what she's dug up?

ausscavenger_dryer.jpgWe think this pink hairdryer, which belonged to the poster's great aunt in the 1960s and still works, would be really fun to have. (We can imagine friends' puzzled looks as they ask, "Um, is that a giant lamp...?") No price is listed, so if you're interested, send them your offer! Jump below for links to this lamp hairdryer and other good finds.

I want that Mid Century Coffee/End table and Green Chair so bad! However, I don't live there.

I have one of those vintage hair dryers in aqua. I picked it up for $20 at a flea market in Ohio. I rewired it and replaced the fan/heating element with a light and use it for a reading lamp.

Yeah, I was just going to say... maybe you could *make* it into a lamp...
