i am not vain...i just want to find my vanity

when it rains it pours, i suppose. i found another vanity - although this is more likely a desk - on ebay that i fell in love with. alas, i was outbid. i prolly would have bid more had shipping not been estimated at $165.00 from british columbia. seems to me that ohioans, pennsylvanians, and british columbians have a real corner on the danish modern ebay market. anyway, here it is in all it's glory. it trumps the malmsten by bodafors if you ask me. but it slipped out of my grip...


no matter, i will find my vanity someday. in other furniture related news, i did score 5 danish dining chairs - mfg'd by farstrup mobelfabrik - at local shop circa yeasterday.
they are very similar to these: upholstered in black pleather, in pretty bad shape. but i think i can easily redo them. and for $75 bux, i couldn't pass 'em up.
i don't even think i could find a single nice chair for the price of all five of these.

i also scored a small print by rosado - not as moderately priced as the chairs. not sure who he/she was, but i have seen a few other of his/her pieces that i quite like and think i found a real treasure. now if only our walls were painted then we could hang our ever expanding art collection. soon...it must be soon.

not much other news to report. embarking on january is scary to me. it's such a financially long month. dj husband has a number of gigs coming up which should be fun. he's thinking of calling his gigs either "popscene" or "town & country" - i'm more fond of "town & country."
some job interviews coming up - maybe 2006 is the year for me. we'll see.

hope you're all very well. happy new year. xoxoxox
