Many of you have inquired about the recent absence of scavenger posts, a favourite weekly feature. Molly, who is normally responsible for perusing and posting eBay, craigslist and etsy finds is in the process of moving to Chicago, and will be absent for a few weeks as she settles into her new home town.
In the meantime, I'll humbly try to fill her shoes today with some Etsy finds:
•
ZIPPERED Flapper - Green Forest ($18.75) by threegreenapples.
•
Cocktails with Alice Bar Set ($15.00) by byreed.
•
DNA and proteomic Xray Film Hanging Lamp ($39.00) by focussnap. X-rated hanging lamps...x-rays that is! The shades were created using actual x-ray film of DNA. Diagnosis: cool.
•
Refurbished Vintage Wall Sconce With Crystals ( $17.50) sold by OurCottageArt.
•
Woodthrush Kitchen Towel ($9.00) by artgoodies. Check out her
other various avian print kitchen towels.
•
Found object flag stand table lamp ($125.00) by drinkabutter. A turn of the century collapsible flag pole stand transformed into a table lamp!
It seems like Ebay Scavenger has been completely eliminated from the NY site. I haven't seen it in many months. I miss it and asked Maxwell but never got a response.
Anne: We'll try our darndest to post some good eBay finds occasionally here on the ATLA site :)
Anne,
I started writing eBay Scavenger NY in December, but Maxwell asked that I move it to L.A., and no one has taken up the reins. The next time Maxwell and I talk about eBay Scavenger, I'll mention that you'd like to see it revived in NYC.
I will be contributing intermittently, but I have a lot of planning to do as I prepare to move at the end of the month.
Cheers,
Molly S.
are those xray lamps really that cool? i am a scientist and work with that sort of data every day, and i have to say, i just don't see the aesthetic appeal of it in decor. am i seeing the film with overly utilitarian eyes?
