Santa how could I call you evil?!

Evil Santa I apologise for setting the crocodiles, lions and tigers onto you. I really do. (See below after the goodies and you'll know what I mean.) Perhaps you have been so generous this year because I built a shrine to you. Perhaps ... or maybe it's because you let me choose the presents this year :) That sexy green silk canape is making its way from the window to my living room. It is going to give me goosebumps paired with my green egg chair. Perhaps a little lightening of the wood finish oh so carefully. Evil Santa says it is a gift from Kelvin to me. It was a bargain!
My gift to K is a vintage, handmade pigeon carrier, all chippy, dinged and blue. K loves birds. A little too much for my liking (I still think rats with wings and how closely they are related to dinosaurs) but this box is perfect for the man cave. It's about a meter high and a little expensive but Evil Santa you made me do it! Balancing the slurge with a big fat billy bargain I give to you ... drum roll please ... my gift to myself.
This tripod is just too sexy for words with its pointy brass feet and bondage chain (ooops too much information) and will soon transform into a floor lamp. Are you sitting down? It was only $30. Evil Santa I love you. If I was at work I'd save you from the crocodiles. I would ... if I was at work instead of cooking at home. Merry Christmas!

Oh yes, the evil Santa has been most generous. You always choose interesting but incredibly cool things. I love the tripod for your next lamp...will be waiting to see what you create! Have yourself a Merry Christmas Jo and Kelvin. xx
OMG!!! All this stuff ROCKS!!! Your thrift shops are always SOOOO much better than the ones here. GRRRRRR. :P
What a lovely treat to find such nice pieces. I am very jealous as I am saving from now on and can only window shop.
That chair will look great with your "Egg" chair and look forward to seeing them together. Have a great Xmas, Lisa
Those tripod feet are HOT
Wow evil santa is a legend! Love the loot.
Hope you guys had a fantastic christmas, and all the best for a brilliant year ahead : )
Hey Jo and all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Where has this year gone?? Hope you had a fab Christmas...that pigeon carrier is fantastic! Another thing K and I have in common...a love of birds...yes I had homing pigeons as a child...I think I am going to really love that man cave. That tripod will go well with your surveyor's rule. Thanks for all your wonderful support throughout the year, look forward to catching up soon, xx Katherine
