Sunday was a particularly dark and rainy day so I decided to head to the antique mall to find some inspiration and to stay dry. I was looking for a small vintage bedside lamp but got distracted pretty fast. Mounted insects, a silver liquor dispenser and rainbow Pyrex fridge containers caught my eye but as I dug deeper even more interesting finds popped up.
First off was the early 70's Captain Kangaroo storybook. I remember this book, especially the three-legged race illustration. I loved the personality of the kids' drawings. But it's interesting how the animals seem to be a completely different style than the children. Yet I kind of like it that way. Next up, I spied a 60's wooden Japanese doll bank. So colorful and graphic, I was having a difficult time deciding if I should buy it. Nearby, a 60's gold tree wall hanging was peeking out from a table by my foot. After much deliberation, the tree came home with me. I've yet to figure out where to put it or whether or not it will remain gold but that is for another day.
