Just wanted to share a smattering of the treasures I thrifted today in San Jose…
The little wooden Japanese fisherman is about two inches tall; probably 1950s. The fabric is a silk Ikat; $1 for three yards! And the vintage candy tin is marked "Western Germany". I love the color.
After I regain my energy from the hunt I will photograph the mid-century dining set that I got. Incredibly incredible!
Hello Sylvie,
The fisherman is too cute, i love the fish detail in his “basket”. All the other finds are great too, it seems to be a good day for you.

Hi Sophie, I really liked that detail too. I’m thinking of taking some better shots and making him into a greeting card.
And Tatjana – you’re so right, I mention the feet on the tin in my Flickr photos!
