So I realized I've never done a whole post on the greatness that is FUTURES Antiques. First off the owner, Ronn Ives, is amazing. He really knows about the stuff he sells, and isn't in it for the buck. Also, his store is mostly 30s thru 70s. Come on, how great is that. His store is packed full of treasures, you could spend hours there and still miss half of what he's got. Plus Ronn is just an all around great guy. That store is probably the only thing I'll miss around here when we move. My husband has a love hate relationship with the place. He loves the great stuff Ronn's got, he hates how much I spend there. So get your but over to the FUTURES website, you won't be dissappointed.

Free at Last!
My parents are watching Hunter overnight, so Derek and I went to a couple antique malls and thrift stores that we can't go to with the baby. I found a cheap pyrex bowl, two melmac dish sets, and a couple other things.
As promised, here are a couple scans from my Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Book (1956). The First three I am going to show you are my favorite rooms in the book. Notice the wonderful usage of my three favorite colors: pink, white, and red. I love how they accent each other, and make any room look a little sweeter. Don't you just love that pink tile??

Oh My, What a Day!
My mother took Hunter for the afternoon, and Derek and I took off like giddy school children!
We got a chance to shop at some of our favorite stores undisturbed. One of or favorites is a local antique store Futures. They specialize in 40s - 70s. Can you guess why we love it so?
Well here are a few pictures of our loot. No dolls, your eyes do not decieve you. That is a vintage primary color Fire King mixing bowl set! It was a steal! I just can't decide if I should resell it, or keep it all to myself. Hmmm...
We also found some more blue melmac cups for my collection. I collect pink and blue 50s melmac and ceramic teacups. I also found a matching sugar and creamer set. Isn't this set just darling?
Now for a one of my favorite finds of the week - a 60s Sunbeam 'party grill' sandwich maker. It makes 3 sandwiches at once! So fab!
Last, but not least, I found some more cute poodles. Boy, do I love poodles. Did you happen to notice more of my son's beautiful artwork? More next time guys and gals!
