City Hall East Sale...

Last Monday was the first day of the City Hall East Sale.  It was a landmark day for all Atlanta junkers and history enthusiasts!  The city had the entire basement open with office furniture, cabinets, cubicles, chairs galore, and even saddles.  Furniture was lined up in neat rows, and there was plenty of Knoll and Herman Miller office furniture to be had if you were early and committed!  People swarmed, had friends staked out on their claim, and the check-out line was well, long to say the least.  We met our neighbor Ken there, and of course ran into a couple of other Northcresters, Eric and Rick.  We didn't see anything we just had to have, but it was a great experience walking around that giant basement, thinking about when it was a huge department store, and what it is slated to become.  History in the making I tell you! 

Eric and Ken browsing.

Rick in line with his treasure, shell chairs for $5 each.

Don't forget that this weekend Highland Row Antiques is offering 20% off for Labor Day!  Go buy something awesome, you deserve it!

Eva Zeisel...

Back in February when we went on our roadtrip with friends Brian and Kevin to the 20th Century Cincinnati show (more on the trip here) Jeff fell in love with a set of Eva Zeisel dinnerware in a Kentucky antique mall.  It was timely that we had just upgraded to iPhones the week before (and that we had Brian and Kevin around to actually show us how to use them!), so there we were....walking around the antique mall, thinking it over, researching it, wondering if we would ever have the chance to buy a nice set again.  I can always tell when Jeff really wants something, and he does have a "thing" for all mid-century dinnerware/servingware/glassware and so it wasn't long before they were wrapping them up at the cash register.  We found out that this set of dinnerware from Hallcraft in the Holiday pattern was reproduced in 1999 in conjunction with the exhibition Lost Molds and Found Dinnerware: Rediscovering Eva Zeisel's Hallcraft . The molds for this collection (Tomorrow's Classic) were thought to be lost and the production of this line ceased in the 50's.  Once we were back home in Northcrest and hanging out with some neighbors, our friend Lukas told us more about it and helped fill in some holes on the research we had done.  He also has a lovely set of Hallcraft Tomorrow's Classic in a different pattern.  Here is a portion of it, including my favorite, the serving platter.

mid-century textiles: Marimekko

There is really nothing better to me than staring at a bunch of bolts of Marimekko fabrics, and recently on a trip to Seattle, Jeff and I did this.  We did this at a small store on First Avenue called Tuuli.  They carry a ton of Marimekko as well as other amazing Finnish-designed wares.  They had wall cubbies filled with bolts and bolts of massive print florals in every color-combo you could think of!  Gorgeous.  I didn't think to take any pictures....too busy living in the graphic-oversize-print-technicolor-moment....but it looked something like this:

Marimekko has been producing quality textiles since 1951.  The longevity of their original prints is amazing as they are still just as popular today.  CB2 carries a lot of Marimekko items, and from time to time ReproDepot (one of my favorite sources for online fabric) will have some great deals on Marimekko fabric. 

We have this print in a shower curtain, which I love:
