Vintage dealer Lynne McDaniel has really got it going on this weekend, conducting a two-day liquidation estate sale (7/30-31) on top of holding the third annual half-off sale at An Orange Moon (7/29-31), the smartly curated Southside furniture shop she runs with her husband, Ty. When Lynne holds a sale, the discounts are refreshingly plain and simple: take 50 percent off everything in the store (and get free home delivery if you mention Domestica). Orange Moon is located at 2436 West 59th Street, and the sale rises tomorrow and sets on Sunday afternoon. The off-site home sale will be held on Saturday and Sunday from 8–4, at 8514 South Karlov Street in the Scottsdale neighborhood, and there will be lots of mid-century trappings, including Heywood Wakefield bamboo furniture, tiki kitsch, jewelry and art, dishes, and memorabilia. -Bradley Lincoln Chicago Home & Garden "Domestica" Blog

Orange Moon Rising

By Bradley Lincoln

To celebrate el Ano Nuevo, the substantial expansion of her Chicago Lawn vintage furniture store An Orange Moon, and just simply life itself, owner Lynne McDaniel is throwing a party this Friday and it's destined to be a doozy. From 6-10p.m. there will be complimentary potent potables and cupcakes, a dance floor driven by music from DJ T-Mac, and (promptly at 9:00) a participatory live-music show with a female impersonating emcee, where Lynne promises to bust out some Erykah Badu covers and encourages audience members to show off a number or two themselves. Factor in all the mid-century modern furniture, artwork, and bric-a-brac, and tomorrow sounds like a mash-up of Antiques Roadshow, America's Got Talent, and Mr. Warhol's Factory (except there most likely won't be anyone dozing off in the corner). There'll be same-night delivery for those instant-gratification types, and-as always at An Orange Moon-free parking. And as a cherry-topping bonus for Domestica readers, an extra 10 percent off all purchases. The store is located at 2434-36 West 59th. On the beautiful Southside of Chicago!

***Grey Gardens***
I felt like I had a role in the above mentioned film. I liquidated a famous estate that was very similar. You remember? I wore gloves, boots and a mask and asked all participants to do the same. Click GREY GARDENS for film in its entirety.
While away on holiday our daughter suggested all the history and furniture lovers in the house check it out. I made 3 huge pitchers of "Golden Magaritas" and we all settled in.

Its a story about Jackie Onassis and her "exccentric" high society drop-out cousins. It totally weirded me out, yet I couldn't stop looking at the architecture of their East Hampton mansion, the vintage clothing & fab furniture.

I'd like to view the original documentary, research the mansion they lived in, and try to find the photo that created such a stir. Back in the day a photographer got a great shot of Aristotle Onassis kissing Maria Callas' dog on the mouth while sailing a little boat on the Greek isles. I think--correct me if I'm wrong--he was dating Jackie O at the time! Scathingly scandalous... ;-)

THE CITIZEN SHAY SHOW

"With an eye on the past, CitizenShay (aka Steve Shay) creates art from things old and new, with the goal of adding an element of comfort and beauty to people's lives. His education in graphic design largely influences his artwork; from creating scaled-up pixels to assembling distressed collages, he uses paint, pencil, marker, images from vintage magazines and advertisements to compose visually compelling stories from the familiar. This ain't some fancy fine art, people – that's not his style. The work reads as collectively modern yet vintage – loosely assembled but strategically laid out – colorful but simple. Never one to be satisfied, CitizenShay’s artistic process changes as quickly as his mind, resulting in different series that vary stylistically, but have a consistent feel.” Save the date! FRIDAY, APRIL 1ST, 2011, 6P-10P. Performances by VO (www.voera.com). Are you hip to TAMALLI SPACE CHARROS? (http://tamallispacecharros.blogspot.com/) They will be here!! COMPLIMENTARY adult beverages, INCREDIBLE artwork, virtual VJ by DJ T-MAC, & an UBER STELLAR collection of MID CENTURY MOD furniture for the mases. Dance floor provided. Free admission!! Don't hate, save the date! OPEN MINDED ADULTS ONLY PLEASE!! Proceeds of silent auction to benefit "Feed & Clothe the Needy." *Are you guys paying attention? It's our second year! And to kick it off, we are having our first sale of the year! Come get the killer MCM piece you've been drooling over for up to 50% off!! Mention Domestica for free delivery on large purchases. 4/1-3/11 That's Friday, Saturday & Sunday only! PS. Its almost time for the GOOD tequila!
