These past two weeks have been very exciting around here at the Texas Treasure Box! Tuesday, May 29 heralded the arrival of the long-awaited Morgan Portable Building to house my office and business!
(I nearly had a fit over this)!
We have been really busy installing parquet-look vinyl flooring and starting to move into the building. I needed a new computer desk. So on Friday I went over to our local charity thrift store and found this...
An unsold - just waiting for me Mid-Century Modern Desk!
They had it labeled as a sewing cabinet, but they were wrong! It's a desk! Of course, I took the pic this morning and the desk is sitting in front of an East facing window...so bright! Maybe I'll take a pic tonight and add it later...at least you can see the cool MCM lines.
It almost looks like it could be an unmarked Heywood Wakefield because of the inset handles. It only has a marking of A-601-8 63 for identification...so I'm thinking that the 63 means 1963...pretty neat and what did I pay for this you might be asking...well, how does $15.00 sound? I'll take it!
Update! Serious Update!
I just found my above image Googled into images for
Westnofa of Norway furniture!
Westnofa of Norway furniture!
Remember my Westnofa Siesta Lounge Chairs I told you about here?
See a couple of Ebay listings here and here!
I'm thinking that the handles are the sameor at least, very similar!
So maybe I have an unmarked Westnofa desk!
This could be extremely cool!

I'm so excited...I could just spit!!!
Yes, I believe I'm going to sell it!

I had a bunch of books and a few odds & ends in a basket up at the check-out counter and another basket slung over my arm when I decided to take a last look around and OMG! Look what I spied!
More Mid Century Modern goodness! And they match! Which is weird for me to care since I'm probably just about the most un-matchy person around...but so pretty!
And now you are probably wanting to know just how much these two babies were marked...Well, get ready for this...$4.00 bucks each! I've already seen just one of them listed on Etsy for $119.95...ONE!
Well, I'm not going to sell these...I just like to impress my handsome husband Noel with my stupendous shopping skills!
This pic is in my dining room in front of another East facing window...hence the brightness also. One of my goals this year is to improve my photography skills but for now, what I do is what I do! 8-)
Now here is a little something I picked up last week...I just couldn't let this one pass you by...
A vintage silver plated Oneida Champagne bucket!
Priced at $20.00 - it's one of the most expensive items I've bought at this shop...but it was calling my name...I just had to answer!
(Photo taken in my Four Seasons bathroom as it is the only relatively uncluttered white room in my house)
I have emailed photos to Oneida as instructed by Customer Service and they will try to identify the year and pattern for me...
I'm guessing 1990's sometime...we'll see!
~ Breaking News! Just heard back from Oneida with this:
"This is the COUNTESS holloware pattern. The Countess collection was introduced to the market in 1982 and discounted in the late 90's."
