Thrift Finds: Literally Speaking

A few posts ago, I mentioned a big purchase I'd made

in the vintage department.

I hereby consider this piece to be the one where I "crossed over"

in the said vintage-loving department!

I think there comes a time in every vintage collector/enthusiast/hoarder's

experience where it goes beyond buying cute knick knacks,

and you find yourself looking at something and thinking

"Hmmmm....am I little crazy for wanting this?"

But as crazy as it seems--you just. Must. BUY.

So here she is!

Or should I say, they.

A 1960's theater set decoration.

And it lights up!

It does need a little work.

One of the wires needs to be tightened,

and some of the bulbs need to be replaced.

It came with extras.

It's nearly 8 feet tall!

That's pretty big for our tiny little house by the sea.

I loved the cute Edwardian era couple though,

and when it's lit up--it looks so cool!

When I was buying it 

(from my favorite thrift store here in Oregon, no less--that place rocks!)

everyone was asking what I was going to do with it--

put it in a restaurant? Did I have a shop?

I think maybe they thought putting it in a house was a little odd, lol!

Oh well.

My bedroom needed a night light, what can I say?
