I'm interested in something that will hold a laptop and a few things and slide into a corner where currently I have a secretary with the flip down writing surface and one thousand tiny drawers.

My mom had one for us kids growing up. It had different surfaces that slid out, including one that was a chalkboard on one side with the alphabet around it (as I recall...I was pretty young). Do you have a piece with a u-shaped cutout? That was a space for the seat that was attached. You'd put the baby in the seat and feed him/her, or they could use it as a play table. When the baby grew up, you could put one of the solid pieces in place and use it as a portable table. I think they're kind of rare now.

...I love all the pop culture glasses (of course!). <br /><br />The smaller cups in the front, I can't see them that great, but I saw similar ones at an antique market on the weekend & they had been priced at $8 each. I thought they were cute & had to take a peek at the price. <br /><br />As far as the Smurfs glasses go, I'm not sure if you have the full set of 8? I believe full sets go from the $20-$30 range for the most part on eBay. Maybe they'll fair better in one of your shops? I see antique malls here charging $6-$10 for these glasses. <br /><br />Good luck with your sales!

I live about nine miles south of the ruined metropolis of Springfield, Ohio. Once an industrial mecca, it is now a wasteland of gray. In other words: it's a picker's paradise! This weekend, my main scores were another Fantasia Products atmosphere light (a Regency 4000 tragically missing the spray!!), a wire-and-wood record player table, a vintage Arabian license plate (already sold), a Maddux white swan TV lamp, a bunch of Melamine cups/trays/plates (including a serving set in bitchin' 1950's pale turquoise), an early '70s record player/8-track/AM-FM stereo (fully functional), a pair of ceramic mushroom plaques, a butter cream rotary telephone, some vintage flowers 'n' butterflies shelf paper, humorous owls salt 'n' pepper shakers, 1950 Trains magazine set in binder, and a set of pristine Mohawk floral bed sheets (already sold)...

Hard to tell in the picture. I would have bought them all! Great find! I once sold a set of smurf glasses on ebay for over $100! If I remember right, I think there were 12 different kinds. It was a few years ago. I go weak in the knees over glasses and just bought a vintage 50s cabinet that is perfect to display all our glasses. We use them, too, and with 4 kids, they break now and then, so I'm always buying them whenever I see them.jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-86928311146649038702012-09-04T10:40:11.766-04:002012-09-04T10:40:11.766-04:00Yep, the book should still be in the booth today. ...Yep, the book should still be in the booth today.

I will also be taking a little looksie at the book if it's still in your booth today. I haven't seen that one so I would love to check it out! I went to a few sales Friday and nabbed some neat finds and I also went out for an hour or two Saturday morning. My finds include a first edition Julia Child book, an awesome humidity reader and thermometer set which have already been tagged and put in the booth, a humongous vintage paper cutter (I'm a sucker for anything office-y), and a big vintage wicker rocker that I'm delivering today. I went to the sale Friday and passed it by, went back Saturday, my truck was empty and it was half price...had to have it this time.
