		<title>George Nelson: Architect &#124; Writer &#124; Designer &#124; Teacher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Sunday we caught the last day of the travelling George Nelson exhibit that had taken up temporary roots over at the Bellevue Arts Museum.  It&#8217;s somewhat rare for Seattle to celebrate mid-century design and architecture,  so we were excited to visit especially since this exhibit was originally curated by the Vitra Design Museum.
As we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Auction Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past two weekends we&#8217;ve skipped our local estate sales and thriftstores in favor of visiting a few, local auctions.  Compared with our usual haunts, auctions take a lot more effort, but they can certainly be worth it if you know what to look for and how to shop.  Last week&#8217;s auction was over [...]]]></description>

		<title>A (not so) Little Vase</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last week at the thriftstore we found a rather humble vase.  It was a little lopsided and I wasn&#8217;t sure we should bring it home, even though Mr. Butter&#8211;our resident glass expert&#8211;turned it over and found a signature.  Littleton 1962. So we took our vase home and decided to do more research, because even though [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mid-Week Thrifting Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week the thrifts were dead.  It was like they were trying to tell us something: make cookies!  decorate your tree!  clean your kitchen!  This week we&#8217;ve had much better luck, thankfully and we&#8217;ve listed a few of our favorite finds in the shop already.  We actually found this Nambé bowl at last weekend&#8217;s digger sale [...]]]></description>

		<title>A &#8220;Digger&#8221; Sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we scour our online sources for upcoming estate sales, there&#8217;s nothing that we like to see more than a &#8220;digger&#8221; sale.  What&#8217;s a digger sale, you ask?  Well, picture boxes stacked to the ceiling, furniture arranged like a jigsaw puzzle , an episode of Hoarders in the making.  We know many people who won&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 11.26.11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe that November is almost over!  This autumn has been a busy one for Mr. Butter and me.  We&#8217;ve thrifted in fits and starts, but it seems as if we haven&#8217;t been up to our usual tricks.  We went on an afternoon thrifting circuit on Wednesday and here are the finds!


I&#8217;m a sucker [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Items from the Designer Estate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I realized after publishing our last post that I had neglected to share the items we took home from Propst&#8217;s estate.  We&#8217;re planning to keep many of the items from the sale, but a few will end up in our Etsy shop, so drop us a line if you want something reserved.  The photo below [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Designer Estate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago Mr. Butter and I spied an estate sale that looked right up our alley.  We&#8217;re a rather odd couple (if you haven&#8217;t realized that already): a good evening for us is grabbing a beer and sitting in front of our computer researching estate sales, an unknown item, or a designer we&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Just Might Be Onto Something&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After scouring the internet for hours-and-hours research Scandinavian modern design, we&#8217;ve realized something important.  Much like stereotypical artists need a beret in order to have a painting show at the Salon de Paris and professors need elbow patches on their blazers in order to get tenure, every Scandinavian designer worth his salt posed with a [...]]]></description>
