Open Call

No, believe it or not this is not another eBay self-promotion. Who wears a size 12? Somebody please get on these. 1980s survivors in perfect, got-rad-in condition. The color combo alone is worth the bids, then throw in those ollie holes and all made in the USA and you got yourself a deal. Maybe I'll wear six pairs of socks and make a bid.

Snap

My favorite leather company now makes towels. And no, they're not leather. Why does Japan get all the good stuff? How do I get these? Who do I have to sleep with to get Il Bisonte to start expanding in the US? Jesus, enough with the housewares already.

Shotgun!

Where did Nick go? Oh, he went to BUY A SHOTGUN TO PUT IN ONE OF THESE! Yeah, I think I need to roll up to the LA Gun Club with a handmade shotgun case over my shoulder. I've had my sights set on one of these, and I don't think Apigis makes a fine leather carrying case for the AA12. See, told you I'd write about something tough after the pots and pans post.

Don't Take It For Granite

Hey, if I'm going to post about pots and or pans, they should at least be these, right? No? Whatever, it's my blog and I'll write what I want. I've never been one to explore the cooking utensil sections of thrift markets and eBay, but I've never really seen these Graniteware pieces either. Just in case the rug post a few weeks back and now this one has you worried that ATG is turning into the next Apartment Therapy, I'll write about guns or explosions later in the week to settle your nerves. Until then, buy some of these off eBay for your next camping trip.





























Some non-marbled or splattered pieces just in case the Pollockness is too much for your aesthetic...


And check out this set. As if the film sets of RAD and Alice And Wonderland had a baby...

C.R.E.A.M.

Listen, Scott Campbell, I get it, I really do. But next time you're thinking of taking a stack of cash and laser-etching the shit out of it, do me a favor -- drop that stack in a FedEx box, send it to me and let me describe, in grave detail using fancy adjectives, how I think the final piece will turn out instead. Deal? Although, if I could afford a laser-etching machine, I'd have cash to burn too. Maybe next year he'll step it up to using them c-notes. Play on, playa.

LookingglassCASEself

I need these leather glasses cases in my life. Based off 1960s military designs, updated for everyday use and Handmade in Portland, Oregon by Tanner Goods. And those wallets with their simple lines and clean construction? All day.

Fire Sale

Nothing like a little shameless self-promotion. Whatever, it's my blog. Did a little Summer cleaning and decided to throw a bunch of crap away and the rest of the random clutter on eBay. Maybe you'll find that perfect pair of vintage Airwalk deck shoes in your size or that WWII tent you've been searching for. Jump over to my eBay account and browse the aisles or just stop in and make fun of all the ridiculous things that have been taking up space in my closets and under my bed. I'll be listing more stuff through the week too, so take your time.
