 So anyways.... Went to Nelson...Seems alot like Kathmandu, but with better washrooms. Bought some herbal tea, the package said store in a cool place so we are looking for a Frank Lloyd Wright House.... The drive up was beautiful with a photo op at every turn. Delivered a piece to a happy customer and went on our way. Why are there so many Thrift Stores in such a small place...not that I am complaining of course. In the day between our deliveries we picked some really outstanding items. As mentioned before, we hit the Barell Lamp Shade jackpot with no less than six shades found from different sources. These are rare at the best of times and we cant wait to put some sweet lights together(PS. Teal shade is already spoken for)! Then we went all nautical with a pair of great 1970s Mirrored Ships pictures from a bar in Rossland B.C. and a Lobster Trap. Speaking of Rossland...Mr. Zangbell & Gill headed over that way on Thursday to do our second delivery of the week. His adventure included Trail and of course he came back with the van stuffed full - mostly with teak(will share those finds another day!). Mrs. Zangbell & Gill visited The Red Barn, a regular stop for us in Grand Forks and picked up a pair of amazing turquoise cast iron stands, which will make great outdoor planters. |

As for all the rest we picked this week, you will have to wait for the next blog!! Vintage Enamel Medical Cabinets, Mid Century Teak & Silk Afghan Rugs..Oh my! We will be spend our time deciding on whether to buy those cream and gold 1980s bedside tables. Upcoming blog discussion..What fashion, style and aesthetic really defines the 80s and the Art Deco influence.
Now, as I sit in wonder at this glorious view, I think back to all the places we've been on this trip so far and all the very cool things that we have seen. How can places so small and rural throw up such diverse and amazing stuff...the world is small and the things we aquire along the way get left behind and forgotten. I marvel at the items we pick up - Why would anyone abandon these treasures? The answer is there is too much on offer these days and everthing is expendable and replaceable. Zangbell & Gill is here to refind these tucked away gems and breathe into them a new life.
