Flea Market Finds

This weekend I visited our local flea market looking for kitschy toys, and other vintage goodness. I have really been searching for a vintage desk to complete my office/toy room. Packing toys on the dining room table just isn't going to work anymore! I have boxes, tags, and tissue paper everywhere.

So after searching high and low for the perfect mid century desk with no success I ran into one of the strangest toys I have ever seen. I know that this guy was created in 1988 by Mattel, but that is all the info I have. Does anyone know his name? I can imagine that an anthropomorphic chicken leg must have an interesting history.

I have no idea why this picture is horizontal. I have tried to rotate it several times with no luck. My usual camera is being repaired. Apologies....

I also have a little preview for this week. This sweet pose doll will be listed this week along with other goodies including a trio of kitschy mod mid century cats. 

Hello Out There!

Hello! I am still here!

My grandmother, who I am very close to, had a stroke at the beginning of January and I have been taking care of her so I have been pretty absent from blogging and the shop, but things are getting better with time and I am now back :) I have been so excited to get back to posting and sharing my vintage finds!

So I have a little preview for next week:

Preview

Sweet little finds from kitsch land! I was super lucky to find these cuties this week and I will be listing them tomorrow in the shop.

Oh No!

So no one wanted this super cute holiday mouse and little knee hugger elf? No one at all? I am assuming that everyone was away baking cookies, decking the halls, and getting caught under mistletoe....  One more chance to win this unlikely duo.

Enter this week by following Agent 137 on Twitter or mentioning us on FB and then comment here. The winner will be drawn at random and I am guessing that your chances will be quite good!

Merry Kitchmas Contest

Agent137 in the 21st Century

After much hesitation and procrastination I decided to start a Twitter account where I will offer quick tidbits of information about upcoming items, special deals, and stories. I will definitely still be blogging for longer messages, but I will use Twitter as as way to convey quick Agent 137 messages :)

Check Twitter tonight for a secret coupon code that will be valid for this Friday through Sunday only.

I will also be posting info about the Agent 137 holiday contest starting on Friday (tomorrow) on the blog in the morning. 

Hope you are all having a great holiday season! We are just starting to experience winter temperatures here in upstate NY.

Better Late than ?

So I know that its a little late...Precipitated on an early morning run for an incredibly low priced Kindle Fire... But I thought that it might be nice to post a little sneak peak at the items I will be listing today at 11:30. I think these guys are seriously cute, if I do say so myself...

Also, I launched an Etsy store for my awesome 83 year old grandmother today called Chickens In The Kitchen featuring her handmade vintage reproduction aprons and vintage kitchen wares. Please check it out and give her some love!
