I was browsing the upcoming sales this weekend when I found this doosey. Morgan will probably be pissed that I’m posting this sale, but its too amazing not to share. Plus I’ll be out of town this weekend, ha ha! So why is this sale so cool? The basement of the house is packed with nautical themed stuff. Some of it is hokey and lame, but some of it is awesome. Exhibit 1: They have a harpoon for sale. A freaking harpoon. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
Exhibit 2: Cool lamps and a vintage globe. I hope they’re cheap! Oh and notice the three floyd’s box in the left of the pic. That has to be a good sign, right? Beer, cool lamps, vintage globes. Check, check, and checkity check.
Exhibit 3: Awesome-ass steins. Mikey likey. Please be cheap.
Guns. In glass cases. Oh man I like guns in picture frames. I just love the idea of being burgled in the night, smashing open the frame, and pointing a revolver straight at said burgler’s temple, trying to remain calm and confident and hoping to hell he won’t realize that its fake. Yeah I’m weird.
If you have any free time, head out to this sweet sale.
I’m pretty jazzed about this sale too, it looks to be a fun & unusual one. Did you or your co-blogger make it to Archie’s bar sale this past Friday? Seemed like a “manly vintage” sale. I wrote about it over on Garage Sale Warrior: http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/garage-sale-warrior/2009/11/neighborhood-bar-archies-has-a-sale.html
Leilani,
Unfortunately I was out of town doing the Thanksgiving thing. I did hit up a hillbilly flea market next to my parents house. Its new and huge and junky and awesome. Got a sweet typewriter, a freaky pair of vintage panties from sears, and some other assorted stuff. I’ll hit it up every visit home I make. That sale looked sweet, wish I could have made it.

Every man should have at least one framed weapon in the house. The wife may disaagree, but this is a stand worth taking.
