Somewhere in Time Antiques Mall, Radliff, Kentucky — 53 photos

I was in Kentucky last month, and while my mom went to an appointment, I speed-shopped the Somewhere in Time Antiques Mall along Highway 31W in Radcliff, Kentucky. It was super duper fun — there was lots to ogle, from all eras, at generally terrific prices. Click on through for 52 more photos from my photo shoot.

That’s me doing the requisite self-portrait in a mirror.

Alas, the orange and yellow 1960s mirror — highly lacquered, on wood, Made in Japan — was too pricey for my whims that particular day. As I recall, around $95. This seller had great stuff, but I tend to think, outpriced for the market.

The cruet set featured in the first photos was made by Redbird Japan. Does anyone know about this collectible? Interesting: Made in Japan, but which had a Danish look.

Not sure what maker this is… cute.

Big set of this dinnerware — who knows who the maker is?

It was a big set…

Vintage Masketeers — hawks? I have never seen this breed before.

Lovely miniature furniture. I loved taking these photos.

So cute, isn’t it.

Check out this vintage cake plate…

Moreover, look at the base… What a great cake plate — so tempting!

I think this was a vintage butter pat holder.

Vintage salt and peppers…

Also very temping was this vintage stand mixer. I have been doing more baking lately — I bet a mixer like this would last forever and ever. It’s honkin’ heavy.

A vintage nut grinder… with lovely midcentury graphics…

Similarly, the pretty painting and crackle patina on the vintage oriental lamps — lovely.

The one, too….

Here was the scale of the lamp, and more details — I love the wood top and bottom, and the lamp finial.

More oriental decor. So sweet. Always a little place for little watercolors (?) like these.

Sweet vintage towel rings…

Fabulous vintage dinette. Hmmmm…. I think I need to convince my mother to get this for her kitchen!

I really like — and recommend — mirrors that have odd shapes. These add even more visual interest to something with great utility. A mirror like this can go right next to the front door, or whatever door you use frequently to check your appearance before you go out.

Of course, I love ridiculous 1970s mirror, too. Go big or go home.

The outlet mall is quite big. This is just one view down one room.

And a view down the other direction….

I can imagine these china cupboards with a painted treatment being quite pretty.

Tic tock, and instant collection of vintage alarm clocks…

1960s flower power dinnerware. Oh, if only I could have 10 houses to furnish!

The pattern is Mikasa Stone Manor Floribunda.

There was an entire set…

There is a bit of vintage clothing and jewelry in the store… but it’s mostly interior decor.

Plush plum-colored settee? Yes!

Match your purple couch with green upholstered chairs.

Midcentury antiques down in this corner.

Is this vintage Raymor???

Here is the label…

This book, The Better Homes & Garden Decorating Book, is ubiquitous.

Vintage oriental flowers.

So cool… we see these around… a vintage formica plant stand, all amoeba shapes cobble together.

Is this a Jere wall sculpture… spray painted black perhaps?

This kind of plastic swag light has a name…. who knows?

Very fun to photograph.

A Gemma Tacogna imitations, made in Mexico, too..

Lovely vintage porcelain figurines were abundant.

Singing nuns…

Little ladies, skirts swaying in the wind…

A pink porcelain teddy bear…

A sweet little porcelain girl with her dog… This was the only piece I bought all day, because of the doggie, who reminded me of my Astro.

European ladies …

A small vintage garlic holder.

There was also a large case of little glass hens… like the ones I featured at Christmas time by Mosser Glass.

And kitsch, of course. A very successful day of photography,

Mid century modern treasures in Richmond, Virginia

Tina sent us a tip on a big sale of mid century furnishings and accessories in Richmond, Virginia. Seems like this place, Verve Home Furnishings, opens its 4,500 s.f. of inventory to the public once each month. Photos for the sale tomorrow (Sat., Sept. 17) look pretty juicy. I’ve never seen a Witco Map of the World with red graphics (I am somewhat obsessed with Witco Maps of the World)… and I’ll take those LOVE pillows, pretty please with a cherry on top. Thank you, Tina.
