That's just ugly.

We're just back from a little twirl-a-whirl shopping expedition (off to market and looking for vintage things). As usual, we hit some of our favorite thrift shops (or "thrifties" as one of our friends calls it) and antiques haunts. We did find some great little goodies (coming soon to Pomegranate), but there's always something really and truly hideous mixed in. Something you think is so ugly no one will ever buy it. We love to top each other with the ugliest find, and I think maybe we'll never surpass these two.

Apologies to the artist, who clearly wasted spent some time working on this atrocious painting. It scares me.

Here is one fugly 60's/70's lamp. Dear hubby Robert is modeling in the photo merely to show that the lamp, sitting on a low-slung vinyl table, is still taller than the average man. I just have one question: "Why?" {But wouldn't it make a great prop for a low-budget "Valley of the Dolls" type movie?}
