Although the weekend started slow with a poor thrift Friday, it picked up on Saturday and it finished fantastically on Sunday at the Flea Market. I found so much inventory that my living room is stuffed full of boxes, bags and furniture.
Above is my oldest Coleman find ever. This is a 418b triple burner Coleman Stove and I'm pretty sure it's from 1940. I haven't had a chance to research it properly. Do any of you Coleman experts know the approximate value of this?
At the Flea on Sunday, I found this lovely Coleman stove 415d with a stand. Isn't it the sweetest? Now I just need a vintage canvas tent and we're ready to go camping.
I'm usually not a tree limb/stick furniture type of girl but something about this table intrigued me.
I have so much inventory to process at the moment. I have ebay listings to write and Alameda Flea Market and Antique Society inventory to price. The first couple of weeks after school starts are always so packed. I always feel that I'll fall back into a nice leisurely work schedule. What am I thinking? I have 3 months of work to catch up on. Does that sound familiar. Eventually I'll get back into my routine but for now I'm really just chasing my tail. Thankfully I'm having fun which is part of the point in doing a job that I'm passionate about.
