My Current Kenrick Covet List

Pardon my alliteration, but I'm a bit enthused about some of the items my fellow Kenrick Antique Mall sellers have on display, and I thought I'd share a few with you tonight, so you know there are treasures to be had inside this weekend as well as outside at the flea market:

This toy oven may be a little the worse for wear, but I love it exactly the way it is!

In the same booth as the above, this little blue owl pitcher is both adorable and handy!

This ceramic and wood pendant light fixture is so mid-century sleek.  Sexy!

This little lamp, I'm guessing from the 30's or 40's is such a pretty blue.

And for Halloween, a couple of exceptionally awesome scary clowns:

Love/hate!  The one on top is super duper scary - he looks frantic!

And just so you remember, here are a couple of the treasures still available in my own booth, #78:

The adorable sad-faced basset hound planter is willing to sell you his tiny shades!

I love this kind of old suitcase - great for an overnight or to carry your laptop.

There is something freaky about this little girl and her birds... Halloween-appropriate!

I think this little pitcher with its star bursts is more fun than the usual Blendo style.

My clown is a little more mid-mod dignified than the others, and not as creepy.

Don't forget, Flea Market at Kenrick Plaza in Shrewsbury this Saturday, sponsored by Kenrick Antique Mall, inside of which you can find all of the above, and lots more great deals.  Everything in the 2ndhand Moon booth (#78) will be 25% off all weekend!

Local treasure alert!

Depends quite a lot on your definition of treasure, but if you like a certain kind of ornate vintage kitsch, get thee to the Goodwill on Watson Road in Crestwood, MO, and you can have this awesome thing for (Goodwill's killing me with their prices!) $9.00:

Naked lady pendant lamp/oil fountain!

My grandpa had a bigger one of these, with more plastic fauna (which was not as flourescent in color).  The lines you see that keep her in sort of a slanty looking cage are something like fishing line, down which drops of oil run continuously, so it looks like she's in the rain.  No idea if this version works, but the overwhelming sense of nostalgia and kistch that hit me when I rounded the corner and spotted her was enough to make me check the price, even though I was only there looking for shelves on my lunch break and am still not buying inventory.  Anyway, if you want to add some gilded silliness to your pad, you know were to look!
