Second Sunday Finds

Posted on August 14, 2011 by Hepcats Haven

Great day to be out!

Today Mel and I ventured out to the second Sunday antique faire under the bridge. I really like this fair because it is local and there are a lot of vendors selling really great stuff. Mel and I usually wake up at 5am to get there by 7am. A word of advice, if you are going really early bring a flashlight to help see because it is difficult when it is still dark. We managed to find a lot of cool things this time and look forward to introducing them into our decor.

: 1940’s umbrella holder. It needs to be refinished and I am up for the challenge.

: Found this great book on pinup girl artist Vagas!

: Ok, I hate the picture but I really love the frame. I want to either get an old Hawaii print, old travel print or even an old Tarzan poster to hang in the Tiki lounge.

This is too cute! It holds honey

I know this looks rough but wait till I get done with it. This sign must be almost 36 in.’s square

1950’s Hawaii table runner

Vintage Heavy Metal Dad’s Root Beer clock

We found more fish for Mel!

Vintage Carved Hawiian Busts of man and women

Great Souvinier Hawiian Table Cloth!

Found this really great TV lamp cheap! I couldn’t pass it up, sorry Vic!

Very large Dansk pot with lid…..we only paid $10!

How could I pass up these pinups. There were a lot of dealers with pinups at a good price.

These will look great in our Diner! I need to get some chalk.

Vintage Carved Tiger head! This thing is old and I could see it as part of a circus ride from the 40’s or 50’s. It will look great in the Tiki lounge!

Ok…. I am seriously in need of the cat TV lamp… seriously! I am so jealous you found it and I didn’t! Ask Mel, I am looking for a “cute” one! Good job! 🙂 And the pinup paraphernalia you found…. swoon! You HAVE to run out of room one day…. I am standing by for that day! 🙂 I love your website and so enjoy living vicariously through you…. Second Sunday’s, huh? I am going to have to come up there for the Second Saturday and Second Sunday for a weekend of fun! Have a great week! 🙂

  Thanks Sherry! Our friend Vic has a a cat lamp like the one we bought. She is in the process of looking for one replacement eye. Once she finds one I will let you know and she might sell it to you. I hope we don’t run out of room but if we do I will let you know. Second Sunday is a must for anyone who loves antiques, you got to check it out.

Hooooleeee Mackerel Hepcat!!! Did you guys score or WHAT! I am totally pea green with envy! All I did yesterday is breathe sanding dust! No fair! Well that does it – I’m for sure going to have to do this one. Next month FOR SURE! Do you have to park miles away? I can’t believe all the great finds you made. And to Sherry – when I find that little gemstone eye for the kitty lamp I’ll let Hepcat know. I can’t believe you found the kitty lamp with all the eyes still intact. Most of the ones I see are missing them all together. Lucky you! (*grumble-grumble*). You said you got some great prices, but overall how do you think the vendor pricing is???? Would it be worth it for a re-saler like myself to go?
