Hi there design*sponge readers. This is Andy Beach and I’ll be posting here this week. I have two blogs where I post things I like. There’s no better way to describe them, Reference Library and Stork Bites Man are each a mix of found objects, eBay losses, art, design, architecture, kid stuff, things friends make and do, and lots of stuff. The things I like. This week on the d*s guest blog, I’ll be posting different stuff each day — from old books, from favorite blogs, from eBay, from nice shops and from around my house. Today’s post is STUFF FROM EBAY. Thanks for following along. —Andy

AAAAAAAAA+++++++++++!
Great post! I am so intrigued by older things and how they are assigned value. Would love to hear your thoughts on the most sought after “antiques”…
looking forward to more of your posts!
that couch is a stunner. I would redo my whole room if I had that couch.
Hi Andy, I’d love to hear more about your train of thought when you are perusing eBay. I follow along on Reference Library and while some of the stuff you find has a common thread (vintage denim) other things are pretty diverse. I’ve got 15-20 saved/emailed searches at any given time – but I’d love to know yours.
Andy, I am a big fan of your blog(s)! You always have such good taste!!
Thanks for the kind comments.
Rebecca: No thought process; just looking and looking and paying attention to how something might connect to something else. No saved searches either; I just look for whatever I’m into at that particular moment.
The genius that is Andy strikes again. Wow that sofa is amazing it reminds me of work by Sergio Rodrigues. Do you know him? If not you need to.
I want to know more about those beautiful ironweave bandanas and why they are so expensive.Is it because they were printed in small editions?
i have one of those lightbulb lamps! i always wondered who manufactured it. now i know!
