Happy Monday afternoon! I had a very interesting vintage/antique hunt yesterday with my best friend, Pam. We went back to the warehouse I was talking about last week and came home with...
A Guild 785 Grafonola gramophone! For $40!
The photo isn't ours, which I haven't had a chance to photograph yet, but it's almost identical.
The speaker needs to be rewired and I think we need a new radio tube (not 100% sure as I've never had to repair a gramophone before), but the power works and the turntable spins so we're almost in business.
We grabbed a few records too, in our excitement. Of course we can't play them yet as our player needs some work and of course has no needle.
I also got a cute little pink lamp (all metal), another antique book, and a ton of buttons, but I had yet to take photos.
I have to run to get to work, but here are a few of the wonderful things I fell in love with on Etsy this afternoon:
Green leather journal by Kreativlink
Bird mobile by fleurfatale
Felted bangle by creationsbyeve
Apple jacket by jacquelineknits which I will probably be buying by the end of the week.
Okay, off to work, tons of new listing are up and going up tomorrow at the Uncommon Things Etsy shop!
