Too hot to handle....

So when we are experiencing more then the typical heat for our mountain community, you have to stay in and work on your inventory. Picked up a small 8 x 10 mid century oil painting. Signed McKee. It is an awesome little pic. Almost kept this one. 


 
Then I acquired this great MCM Mosaic that is about 24 inches tall. Nice tight patterning of the mosaics and fun theme. I own three of these types of mosaics and would never part from them. This is valued somewhere between 250 to 300. This was an awesome find.

I did find a good deal on these children's books, one being for me. Guess which one. 1938 Children on the Map, 1930's Bird Stories for Little People, 1973 Shape of Me by Seuss, 1960's Pooh in Latin and finally 1950 Gene Autry Adventure book.
A little kitsch by Howard Holt roosters and some souvenir totem shakers. Not huge money makers but I am a sucker for cute small stuff. 

Then we picked up a vintage sparkletts bottle with a Hollywood phone number on the bottom that had the two letters followed with a dash and then a few numbers. The tackle box, American made but I loved the swirl in the plastic. Needs a little work inside which seems minimal.

A large four foot stencil of numbers that would be amazing in a kids room on an accent wall. Those are some finds, some highlights some eh, just fun. When you stuck inside it all comes down to getting your pictures done, measuring, descriptions and an all over listing frenzy.
