Okay, Next Win...
I was sort of on a winning streak tonight (I ALWAYS lose) and so after winning the first chandelier I thought I'd go for another one because I would ideally like two in my home and then the rest of the pendants will be more modern/mid century modern in white. But I love the idea of having a few sparkly ones. And well, I won this bad boy tonight as well. I was up against a TON of competition for this thing, my heart was pounding, but I got it in the final 10 seconds. Want to see?

This is also vintage from a seller who lives in Germany on the French border... this was a pretty good deal so I'm happy with what I paid for it. I can't wait until it arrives so I can see where it will fit best. Very exciting, especially since I have lightbulbs hanging from black wire from the ceiling in all of my rooms at the present moment... Not fun!
Are you shopping for fun stuff for your home currently? Find any deals lately? Any eBay purchases that you feel guilty/happy over that you'd like to share?
Oh, c'mon!!!!

I recently ordered some candlesticks from Cox & Cox that I'd been eyeing for awhile. When I lived in Canada, the shipping was just toooooo much to even consider it, but in the Netherlands, it was just a minor splurge.
I love hausmaus (even more than decor8) and check for updates daily. I trust your taste and opinion more than anyone else's in the world of decor. And it kind of upsets me that I don't get this one point. :-)
Just got a really good deal on a Brio building set for my son. Not really decor related. Oh, I did get a stainless steel glass lantern for outside my front door a few weeks ago. I filled the bottom with walnuts and light the candle every evening. Makes me happy.
I have been trying to buy lots on ebay but my internet is too slow and I am outbid more often then not. I have bought some good finds, some for home, some for my business. Mostly vintage items with a danish feel to them.
My (current) favourite ebay find is a chair from the 70's made locally, but I'm told it is practically a knock off of a Finn Juhl chair. I just picked up the seat from the upholsterer last Friday - I am in love! There are a few little repairs to do to the frame and then I can put it back together.
All the best with your ebay-ing ;)
LOVING your blog by the way!
WE are hunting for old crates for a shelf project, turn of the century wheels and re-purposed barn wood for a coffee table project. Its certainly an adventure!
Gorgeous chandelier. I am a fan. Unfortunately/fortunately our ceiling have fans so schandeliers might not work so well.Bummer.Love the fans though.
I love this blog so much. I mean, I love Decor8, too, but we're getting ready to move to Italy next month and I love hearing about your adventures in Germany. I've been reading since the beginning, but I'm going to go back and reread some of your earlier posts to refresh my mind about all of the excitement, challenges and fun of moving abroad.
This can be confusing but also a lot of fun: when it causes those "what?!" moments and makes us think of something in a new way. I think it's ok not to 'get it' (I have a block about using vintage ceramic coffee filter cones as light pendants!).
Not only do I like the chandeliers but I wish I could 'win' something on ebay - I always end up paying for stuff!
