Recent thrifts

On Thursday I found something amazing in a nearby thriftstore. A very sweet lady runs it, and I've found several great pieces there. She had spent a few hours unpacking new stock, and had put this out in the shop 3 minutes before I walked in the door and snatched it! That's what I call timing:-) It's a large Digsmed Lazy Suzan, made around 1960 by Digsmed, Denmark. Digsmed and Dansk pieces very rarely appear in thrifts here, I suspect a lot of them emigrated to the US or stayed in the motherland.

It's large, a whopping 40 cm across, in massive fine grained teak and has a rich delicious color. It has two turntables and 8 smoke colored glass bowls. They're all intact and the teak is in excellent condition. The price was REALLY reasonable, I saw a similar one on the web that was 5 times what I paid... The storeowner has reserved something for me that has been on my wishlist for a long time, they just need to be unpacked from her heap of boxes. Nothing spectacular or rare, just something I've been lusting for and want to start collecting. I'll reveal what it is soon, I hope:-)



I recently found these Stelton place mats on sale. I hope it's not because they will be discontinued, but I suspect it is... They're in a 5 mm thick felt, and have this great cutout pattern in the middle. Too bad a plate will cover it, but you still have that richly textured, wonderfully shaped mat. I love black with teak, that's why I decided on a joint photoshoot:-)
