Sculptural Mod chrome-and-glass étagère: A statement piece, to be sure. A pair of these (seller has two) would add drama to an all-white, ultra-minimalist interior.
•
Hable construction fabric in cool blues: The Hable sisters don't sell their fabric to the public by the yard, so this is a rare find. Their handprinted cotton canvas pillows sell for $125 each, but bidding for this fabric starts at $19.99.

T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings X-base coffee table: Highly collectible piece in great condition. A dining table in the same style recently sold on Ebay for over $6,000.
•
Pristine globe exit sign: Take a tip from Trish, a contestant in the Smallest, Coolest Apartment contest: install this above a metal barrister bookcase in your industrial-chic living room.
•
Lucite Jetsons side table: Fill the shelf with glossy design books, add an Artemide lamp and a sleek water carafe, and voila: a chic, postmodern nightstand.

Contemporary Marimekko Lumimarja wall hangings: We love the bold, organic design, which reminds us of some of Lotta Jansdotter's work.
Thanks. Molly!
No worries, Kristian. Thank you for your note.
Hoping you continue reading and commenting,
Molly S.
this ebay scavenger thing is one of my new favorite blog items..... but i must say, i am sorry but Ms. Jansdotter's work reminds you of the Marimekko fabric... i believe Ms Jansdotter was probably a twinkle in her mother's eye when Marrimeko was getting reved up.
First, I'm glad that you're enjoying the Ebay finds, and I welcome your feedback.
I'm well aware that Marimekko began designing bright, graphic prints well before Ms. Jansdotter came along. Marimkko opened in the early 1950s, I believe, while Ms. Jansdotter founded her company in the mid-1990s. According to Finnstyle.com, however, this Lumimarja Marimekko print was designed in 2004. Marimekko is still going strong; in fact, I recently bought some Tuuli fabric for a wall hanging from kiitosmarimekko.com.
For the record, I wasn't making a statement about who influenced whom; I was simply saying that one made me think of the other.
Thanks.
Seriously, you are amazing Molly!
Molly, I also love your selections. I've actually bid on a few (but unfortunately didn't win).
just saw your response.
I think I offended a little bit with out meaning too at ALL.
If so, I 'd like to appologize. I was having a bitchy internet morning.
You have a great eye and obviously know what you're talking about.
Appologies,
Kristian
