- Pictures of my collection for sale locally in Portland can be found at : Please note, it's first come, first serve and I cannot guarantee that the particular item is available unless you actually show up to view what I have available! http://bit.ly/1t628pU 200 pictures...
- Portland, Oregon folks, please email me at flotsamjetson@yahoo.com to come by my place in NE Portland to take a look at my vintage housewares collection all of which are for sale.. No reasonable offers will be refused! =) Thanks! Timothy
- Just a reminder, that I won't be selling at Portland Flea this weekend, or in the future. I'm doing inventory and working on selling everything off before I depart in September. Collectors and dealers of vintage housewares, contact me at flotsamjetson@yahoo.com and we will have tea and you can browse and pick out some goodies at my home in NE Portland.. =)
- Portland folks, Flotsam Jetson will be going into hibernation due to an imminent move in the fall, so that means I will be downsizing my collection immensely and you can get my vintage houseware goods at ridiculously low prices... Everything is in my house in NE Portland, and if you are interested at all in taking a look at what I have available, please message me and we can arrange a time to come browse and pick up some goodies.. I'll post more pictures soon as well.. Sorry, I'm not shipping anything, so this is just for local Portland people... Pass the word on...

- Thank you to everyone who popped by the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest this past weekend! Just a reminder that the storefront on Foster Road will be closing permanently at the end of this month, and that this Friday the 29th of March from Noon to 6pm, I'm holding a 50% off sale on everything in the store. A few tables of $1 and 50 cent items as well as I cull some of my housewares in my collection. Lots of cups, plates, cookware and other kitchen goods. My original intent was to open a kitchen consignment store in Portland, but that idea is on the back burner for now. I'll still be selling via Etsy, Portland Flea and other events, and I'm looking to work with other Mid Century stores in the NW to stock my vintage kitchen finds.. Thank you for your support of local business folks and for buying vintage goods! xo Timothy..

You'll still be able to find F & J finds online through Etsy and the website http://www.flotsamjetson.com. I have a booth at the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest March 23rd and Portland Flea on April 21st.

- Back in the 70's Andy was doing adverts for Braniff Airlines. New Mexico architect Alexander Girard, Italian fashion designer Emilio Pucci, and shoe designer Beth Levine were called in to remake the airline in a modernist fashion, and with this new creative talent, Braniff began the "End of the Plain Plane" campaign. Sadly, the airline closed down in the 80's due to deregulation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75wlL1K4RNI
