I have been missing the flea these past few weeks. Can't wait to get back with some new targets. I spotted this photo recently on the always inspiring remodelista blog. See you next weekend at One Hanson.

This dapper 1960s hunting man is so "Mad Men" on the weekends (dressed by Sears & Roebuck.) This vintage lithograph is 14"x18" and was produced in Philadelphia by the Weiller Company. Perfect for your city or country lodge. I will have it up for sale on my etsy page soon.

Spotted: Steampunk DIY Dog House
While scouring a country flea this past weekend, I spotted this great dog/pet house made from an old steamer trunk. Thought it was a brilliant idea. These trunks are relatively inexpensive and easy to come by. In fact, I have several lying around....if I only had a dog....

In this photo, taken from the NYTimes site, you can see a framed illustration (at the the top) of the head, skull and brains. I have some very similar lift-the-flap anatomical illustrations culled from 100 year old medical textbooks. I will be bringing them to the flea over the next few weeks.
