On to the other side of town. A new discovery! A new "x" on my map! Once again, pretty unsuccessful. I was about to give up and leave when I saw this cute little patio set! I don't usually go for floral.. orange, green and white.. but I knew this was Grade A 1960's vintage =)
The color is a bit off in this one..
annnnd there are a few flaws... but its still totally useable and amazeable and radicalable!
I have searched and searched and searrrrrrrched and the only comparable item I can come across is this set: (which is more appealing to my taste buds)
found here, and for sale!
I like everything about that set. I would never pay that price but would be a very campy happer if someone wanted to pay that for MY set!!
The Ebay description for the blue and green furniture above mentions my set: "this same set in oranges / rust / brown colors apppeared in a 1960s Peter Sellers movie"
and well, I think that's exciting and I think that's crazy. and I think you should go listen to "The Promise Ring"
was doing research for a samonite sofa and up popped your blog. read. enjoyed. and then saw your tweet concerning the denver county fair, then saw who you were and that i know you! you have shopped with us before -modmood. funny how small the world (internet) can be sometimes. anyway, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi Samantha!! Yes, its SUCH a small world!!! A sofa you say? How exciting! I'll have to stop in and check it out =) I was just in last week -rather, I brought a few friends who were visiting from out of town, and I stayed in car with the kids so the adults could enjoy it =)
ReplyDeleteSee you soon!
I just purchased 4 similar Samsonite chairs at an estate sale, and while the paint on the slats is a bit faded, they are clearly the painted enamel and not the padded vinyl, like you have...only 2 of them are rockers! That makes it complicated to me as to whether or not they could ever have been used around a table - or whether I should. Didn't buy the table that was with them, which appeared to match the set, but I am jealous of your little end table/ottoman? and loveseat. AND super-jealous of the lounge/chaise, but agree - I'd never pay over a grand, even if the paint was super-fresh. This set looks good and is uber-comfy! Thanks for your post!
