Thrift Scores

We checked out the opening weekend of this year's Randolph Street Market over Memorial Day. 

Here's some of what we took home:

A hand-painted drug store sign from the 1930's. It's about 4' x 4' and cost me $25.


A rocking (literally) patio chair that reminded me of Bertoia.

No effing way!

I can wear Tord Boontje?

These charms that come in 18 karat gold or sterling silver come in sets of three ranging in price from $22-$30.

I think I'd need all of them to get the desired effect, but I can buy them in installments, one set a month.

You can find them over at Unica Home.
