Thrifty Finds 2.24.13

This past Sunday, we hit up a few of our favorite stores along 7th Ave in central Phoenix -- Antiques on Camelback, Modern on Melrose, Retro Ranch, and Zinnia's at Melrose -- in search of a new end table, a tripod, and a lampshade (three guesses what we wanted to do with those last two items!).

Obviously we didn't buy all of the awesomeness that we saw, so I took a bunch of pictures of the things I longingly passed on. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case, these pictures are also probably worth a thousand bucks still safely in the bank. Phew!

Join me in lusting after these fun vintage items, won't you? And let us know what you think of

That's right, this deer was also a pirate. 

Someday, we will own an Eames chair. Someday.

And for the grand finale...get a load of this beautiful tripod lamp we made! Good thing it's in my direct eye line at all times, because I don't ever want to stop staring at it. The vintage tripod we scored from Antiques on Camelback for $15, and the lampshade we found at a central Phoenix Goodwill for $5. Voila!
