My Newest Find

I finally bought this Orange Crush lighted clock at Filmgo in Vancouver The first time I saw it there I waited to long to bye it and it sold and then it was returned and put on consignment again but I still thought about it to long and it sold again so I gave up on it but to my surprise I came back again and was put on consignment so this time I made sure I did not wait to buy it. I guess it must of wanted to go home with me!

Flimgo

A great place to buy vintage and retro stuff is at Filmgo Sales in Vancouver
They have items used in the movies, consignment, and from estates.
I have bought lots of great vintage items there and example is these vintage curtains and vintage brown chair.
At Filmgo you never know what you are going to find, new things come in every day.
Filmgo is located at 2741 Skeena Street across from the Wal-mart at Boundary & Grandview Hwy.  in Vancouver BC.

reFind @ Main & 3rd and My cool lamp find.

ReFind is one of my favourite store to shop for mid-cenury items from the 50's & 60's
the owner is really friendly and joking around which makes you want to keep looking around the store which you have to do a couple of times because thing are tuck everywhere all around you as you walk through the store looking up  and down to see everything.
The store is located at Main and 3rd  in Vancouver British Columbia Canada.
I bought this really cool lamp there check out the picture below.
