<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 199328, member: 37&quot;]Some things found over the past few weeks.&nbsp; All are from the thrift stores. </p><p><br /></p><p>This oil painting is signed Betty Louise Hinton Parker on the back.&nbsp; I can find an obituary for her husband locally but nothing for her.&nbsp; It is oil on loose canvas but matted and framed under glass.&nbsp; The sight/painted area size is approx. 12 x 15.&nbsp; It is just a painting of blades of grass but it has a kind of rhythmic abstract quality to it.&nbsp; Bought for $6.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56908[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually hate these budoir lamps and may smash them to pieces for the parts .... LOL!&nbsp; I bought these for $2.00 each because of their cool MCM conical fiberglass shades that were on them and did not go with them at all.&nbsp;&nbsp; Unfortunately, I failed to bring the shades home to photograph them.&nbsp; You will have to use your imagination for now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56909[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>All this Guardian ware was $12.00.&nbsp; One of the glass tops is cracked but the other two are fine.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56910[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These three boxes of M. C. Escher soft puzzles have never been opened.&nbsp; They date to 1996 and sell for decent money.&nbsp; Bought them at a buck apiece on a hunch.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56911[/ATTACH] </p><p>This L. E. Smith jar with ground glass stopper and condiment dish with blue lid were 50 cents each. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56912[/ATTACH] </p><p>This Napier silver plate wine coaster with stopper was 75 cents.&nbsp; The Carl Sorensen bookend was a buck.&nbsp; Too bad there was only one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56913[/ATTACH] </p><p>This necklace appears to be natural pearls for the most part (I have my doubts about the three larger round ones on the drop portion).&nbsp; I think it is pretty ugly but someone should want it for the pearls.&nbsp; Bought for $5.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56914[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Best find was this pair of signed etchings by Lyman Byxbe (1886-1980).&nbsp; They seem to only be bringing about half of what they once brought on ebay so may just keep them for awhile.&nbsp; Paid $6.00 each. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56915[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
