Almost forgot this one - my favorite recent thrift find: The Afronomical Ways…sexual positions as they relate to astrological signs, on black velvet, and glows under blacklight. Framed but glass is cracked.
I really cannot believe that I found this today, in a thrift store. Oil on canvas, original painting, and goes perfectly with this one I bought at a different thrift store about 3 months ago. Could be the same artist, but the signatures are a somewhat different and illegible.
I am becoming a Don Hoarder. 12 lowball glasses, 8 swizzle sticks, 4 matchbooks, 2 tiki mugs, … and other misc crap.
Second-hand Saturday: Fairly large Last Supper on velvet with a surprisingly nice custom frame, and a flock of Mexican feather art / FeatherCraft birdies (Hecho en Mexico).
Don’t be coveting, rheaderella!
Today’s thrift scores: All from Goodwill - A) Four examples of feather art birds; two framed ones from Mexico, one on a card from parts unknown, and a teeny tiny one on a scrap of cardstock. B) Pair of oil on velvet paintings by dePonce of Hawaii.

Pocono Palace…where I will spend part of my honeymoon with some lucky broad.
EDIT: for those wondering, the bottom part of the glass (stem and base) are “sliced” in half vertically - the mirror behind it makes it seem whole. There is a side stairway (partially visible in the 1st and 3rd photos), that one goes up, and at the top is a doorway (visible in the 3rd photo) and landing. The tub part of the glass is embedded level with the landing and juts out into the room a bit - one just steps down into the glass tub from there. You don’t have to jump in (unless you want to), and you can’t you knock it over (I suppose you could heave the tub up and off the landing if you really tried, but it’s not balancing on the stem and base as it first appears).
