market finds

i adore sunday morning flea markets.

sparring with favorite dealers like old friends, poking through boxes and piles, 

and then finding something that makes my heart thump.

today i scored two original thonet chairs for an absolute song.

one even has its original tag.

they're exactly how i like vintage,

a beautifully designed, well constructed piece with a history and plenty of wear.

they're friendly, inviting, used every day

and not to be treated like a precious museum display.

i'm feeling quite giddy at the moment.

i think i must sit down...
