Chafing Dishes and Seafood Regina

This week I was pleasantly surprised that this chafing dish in bright orange/red was featured on the Etsy Vintage Society Blog's Tastes Like Vintage: Seafood Regina. There's just something about a chafing dish that makes any meal an "event". Anytime you combine friends, family, good seafood and a chafing dish it's going to be a hit!

Thanks Laurie!

Who is Bravo?

I found this wonderful Mid-century painting signed "Bravo" in Canton, MI. As always I would love to know more about the artist / maker. I am guessing it was probably a Michigan native by the topic. It looks like a typical fishing boat on Lake Michigan or possibly Lake Erie.

This old ship painting is available for sale HERE!

Winter MCM Finds

The winter months are the hardest months to find great MCM items but with a little effort and willingness to go new places it can be done. This past week I seem to be focusing on metal objects like the Bodum tea kettle by Carsten Jorgensen. I never really notice what I'm doing until I get home and put it all out on a table. So yeah for brass, stainless steel and copper!!! It all works! :)
