I do want to take a moment to thank all who commented and e-mailed me about Friday's post. Your kind words and prayers moved me more than I can ever express. Y'all are wonderful!
********************
I have a recurring dream that I move into an old house, a REALLY old house, and while I am walking around it, I keep finding all these little hidden rooms full of wonderful vintage pieces. One, after another, after another. This is how I felt as I was going through Factory 20's inventory.
Except I was awake.
And it wasn't a house.
And none of the pieces were mine.
And I can't even afford them.
But other than that, it was just like my dream!
OK, just so you get an idea of the pieces I mean, I should introduce you to Factory 20. In their website, they describe themselves as this: "Factory 20 is a multi-disciplinary art and design collective which strives to create an ever-evolving nonlinear consumer lifestyles collection." Got it? Basically, they are an upscale antique store. They also rent to movie/television studios, theaters, and/or photographers. Their prices are WAAAAYYYY out of my budget but their items are my eye candy. Let's take a gander around my old house, shall we?
While browsing, I stumbled on this image.
Well, I know what those are, Surveyor Measuring Sticks! They have some for sale.
But I don't want them. I already own one :)

ok, i have to tell you this! i know these guys. they go to an auction i sometimes go to, and get stuff dirt cheap and sell it for LOADS of money! they are seemingly nice guys- i have only talked to them maybe once or twice, but a friend of mine knows them so she told me about them.
OMG You are FABULOUS. Seriously, if I could only stalk one blog ... :)
First, I would climb over my own Grandma (gently) to get to almost any one of those items but the shelving and the black console are a definitely "lookout Grammie!"
But wait! There's more! Can you BELIEVE I have a very similar - close to the "Drugs" sign in our barn? Yes, really. WHAT am I THINKING? Mine says "General Store" if I recall correctly and is hanging on a random wall above a tool bench.
Off to pry things off the barn wall ...
O.K....that eye candy was off the charts!!! Thanks for sharing....I'll be there wondering around all day..."Factory 20" here I come!!!
Great finds! I just seen a Tydol sign at antique store this weekend. I think I may need to go back.
Thanks for your comment., Sorry I put no reply on there. Not sure how I did that..lol
That was fun! I'm so losing it because at first glance I read Mydol! But I love that drugs sign. I really love those colorful compass/clock looking things. And those stools.
Ooh what a fun site!! I love those stools and signs and clocks!! Going to go see what other goodies that I can dream about!
Thanks for sharing, Yanet!
LOVE it all! SO fun! Just found your cute blog, Come by and visit me some time at I ♥ Nap Time.
YEAH! I have one of these surveyor measuring sticks in my entry way. I picked it up at the thrift store for a couple bucks. Everyone always ask me what it is, and I had no clue. although when I bought it, it had mud all over it, so I just assumed it was farming equipment. Now thanks to you I know. I'm going to go do some more research on it. Here is the link to mine if you want to see.
