You do have good finds.<br /><br />Though visiting one of my sisters in PA, I think I get the Amish, though without seeing into their culture much. The contrast seems intense to our world...the cell phone use, funny! Here, I see Menonites shopping in town or getting gas, on the way back to NW Chihuahua where they have some colonies or villages...those scrubbed blondes *here*, that's contrast!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529828493584098531.post-78796308913307204012014-08-09T13:34:05.972-07:002014-08-09T13:34:05.972-07:00You caught the op shop, huh?

That makes it even better. The fabric scrap was nothing too, and is solid gold to me. It was such a fun adventure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635768533679313199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529828493584098531.post-84387264624332936772014-08-09T13:32:20.739-07:002014-08-09T13:32:20.739-07:00Hey Dana!

I am really happy with everything, including the super reasonable Midwest prices!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635768533679313199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529828493584098531.post-59644396380447618132014-08-07T10:42:11.062-07:002014-08-07T10:42:11.062-07:00I like all of your purchases Rebecca - they work t...I like all of your purchases Rebecca - they work together beautifully too (last photo). We don't have malls filled with antiques (and that iincludes mid-century stuff) here - aisles of <br />modernist pottery etc to choose from?! Now <br />that would be nice! The orange pitcher is my favourite and your Russel Wright (I have come across a shop that sells it here - new pieces, not vintage, but it is very pricey) x<br />p.s. nice one for using the term "op shop" You are a honourary Aussie now ;)Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258543009688502584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529828493584098531.post-37075148829757546562014-08-06T11:15:09.820-07:002014-08-06T11:15:09.820-07:00I think that pitcher is one of Russel Wright's...I think that pitcher is one of Russel Wright's best designs! I also love Royal Haeger pottery. When I first bought my house (the main one), I had my built-ins filled with nothing but Royal Haeger in oxblood. (I was into a monochromatic phase back in 2006.) My grandparents sold Haeger pottery in their drugstore when I was a kid, so I grew up with it. The Haeger vase you have with the interesting texture is part of their "earth-wrap" series. I have a piece in gold. That orange water pitcher is fabulous, and the Briard piece is beautiful with it. Love your blue and green pieces and fabric too. Can't wait to see your pillow. And I think your husky painting is the perfect tribute to your "baby."Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529828493584098531.post-14384795604417821942014-08-06T09:18:58.058-07:002014-08-06T09:18:58.058-07:00Hi Brooke!!!
