Hi there,
We have had a casualty….my most favored Blenko decanter (the large aqua cat decanter by Wayne Husted) met the hands of my youngest daughter and the head was smashed!! I have had no luck what so ever trying to find either the head or even another decanter like it. Any suggestions?
Thank you

Patty - I had one of these decanters last year and had a clear cat-head stopper a few months ago however both have been sold. I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

I love your site and added it to my favorites links to promote you. Hope that is ok. I’d love to keep in touch as we renovate our mid century modern home. Thanks again for the great deal on the couch/chairs and the white Mary figurine!

I have a blue and olive official herman miller chair shaped like the one in your headline. I love them. I also have a herman miller/eames aluminum executive chair from the 70’s with only two scuffs. LOVE THEM. Glad I found another WV’er with good taste.

Hi there I just found your website and was wondering if you could help me establish a value for a mid-century sectional I recently aquired. I found it in a basement of a house that I was selling and thought at first it was the ugliest couch I had ever seen, but then I found myself unable to take my eyes off it. It is a vinyl orange (with print) sectional in mint condition. Any ideas?

Hey Modern Guy. Came to your site via Lushpad. Love your blog. I’m trying to find info about this chair my mom gave me. Can’t seem to find anything online. Wondering if you could help. It’s a vintage telephone chair. Looks Art Deco… probably from 1940s or so. Any insights would be appreciated. Here’s some pics. http://s700.photobucket.com/albums/ww7/cigarguy123/Art%20Deco%20Telephone%20Chair/
