We scored this nice streamlined GE boat lamp for $2. It needs to be rewired, but then I might use it in the record room I'm building in the basement.
We are a couple that are into Canadian retro modern midcentury design & lifestyle. We love to shop and are always out picking at garage sales, thrift stores, farm auctions and estate sales. These are some of our vintage finds.

Midcentury Steel & Teak Tea Set
Another tea set! This was a $19.99 eBay purchase. I think it's actually meant for coffee rather than tea.

Pair of 60's Canadian chairs with Stainless Steel frame and Wood armrests
We scored this pair at the Renfrew Salvation Army (great place, great staff) for $5. I'm not sure what kind of wood the armrests are from but I would guess oak. I'm not sure if the upholstery is original or not, it remind me of some beach towels we used to have. Sadly there's no tags on them, but the mix of stainless steel and wood is really appealing.

Stainless Steel Lundtofte water pitcher, Denmark
We purchased this stainless steel water pitcher, made by Lundtofte, at the now defunct, Salvation Army in Pembroke, earlier in the year, for $1. I'm a sucker for anything with a label with 'Denmark' on it. Our collection of stainless steel is always growing. We're always on the lookout for anything marked "18-8", which is my personal favorite grade of stainless steel (and a mark of true quality, generally) particularly for vintage flatware.
