Eames Era Extravagant Retro Plant Stand

/
For my recent thirtieth birthday, my parents paid for a boat-shaped cocktail bar I had hunted down. It has been my long term item of lust.

I think it's nice to have at least one almost unattainable item to search the boot sales and charity shops for, so my next longed for item has become an Eames era plant stand.

These needlessly large display tables come in many designs, but commonly have the modernist, tapered legs, and the table tops vary in colour.

I've tried my luck on eBay for one, but the current price range they end up selling for is between £35 and £80. Add postage to that for such a large and awkward item, and it defeats the whole purpose of my bargain hunting philosophy!

Much like my boat bar, I can see my quest to own a quirky plant stand stretching out over a couple of years, but that's all part of the fun.
I think my best chance is a car boot sale, fingers crossed.

Illuminated, Moving Waterfall Art

A classic you might remember hanging on the wall of Corrie's Vera Duckworth's abode, the light-up waterfall picture.

I don't have one of these myself, yet, I was quite excited to see a selection online with optional tinkly stream noise & date and time features!

I've also included an image of one of these majestic artworks in situ; the Winnie the Pooh ornaments are an added visual delight.
