Musings at Dusk

I need more Christmas Lights to hang up. I know it's super late, but I'll leave them up at least until the New Year. I'm also drinking some delicious hibiscus ginger tea from Ineeka that I scored from Mom. I love going to her house because I usually leave with a handful of goodies:)

And I'm looking for vintage children's books on eBay.

Ebay Finds of the Day

As my mother and friends and some strangers will tell you, I love ebay. It is the most serious retail relationship that I have ever been in. There are unique and lovely pieces that would never be found in stores today. So on that note, I'm making a list of the pieces of art, linen, furniture and decor that I've been watching right here.

Hollywood Regency Brass Stool


Hollywood Regency Headboard

Phillipe Starke's Louis XIV Ghost Chair

Jonathan Adler Darjeeling Teapot

Mid-century Italian Caged Glass Lamp

What did I tell you? Beautiful pieces and that's not even a quarter of my "Watching/Wanting" list. Not everything on ebay is cheap or worth the bargain, though. Particularly furniture. That lovely tufted headboard is $899. Even if the furniture is affordable, shipping and handling fees are usually monstrous. But if you're patient and find the perfect chair or lamp or whatever that you might not ever find in a store near you, then those fees are little bit more tolerable.

I definitely encourage anyone who is even remotely interested in vintage/antique anything to check out Ebay though. Please note that you run the risk of becoming an addict like me:) Happy hunting!

I LOVE Ebay!
