Pickled Hutch Picks

I have a thing for images of women diving. I'm not sure why that is, really, except that they just look strong and elegant, and the idea of diving from so high off a little board or a patch of land is exciting to me (that is being someone who used to back down the ladder of the high dive when I was little). I used to keep a picture of a woman diving off a cliff side in my cube at my old 9 to 5 job. I can't tell you how many times I looked at her, wishing I were her diving and not me sitting in my cube. I think it would be fun to collect images of women diving and hang the framed collection in a bathroom. I could start my collection with this one above from the Pickled Hutch where Lisa has a great selection of old photos. Another great idea for your old photos (or a mix of yours and found photos) is this great idea from SFgirlbybay.

The prices vary, but are about $1-4 each.

Silver sugar, which I'd use as a vase or cotton ball holder in the bathroom. $9

Statue of 3 women with one missing a head, which just gives her more character! $95

The Pickled Hutch is an antique store in San Francisco that I love. Every week I pick three items to post on my blog that I especially like. The Pickled Hutch is located at 2021 Palmetto Avenue, Pacifica, CA. Open Wed. to Sun. 11 - 6. PH 650-359-2000. Ask for Lisa.

Pickled Hutch Outing

Dripping jewels that Lisa's friend Debby makes are one of the many new things you'll find at The Pickled Hutch. It's been a few weeks since I've been in, and Lisa has so many new things! Rather than post pictures of 3 picks, here are some pictures of random things I just liked. And lastly, a picture of a few things I bought. One thing I bought isn't shown here because I can't fit it in our car, so I will tell you what it is and post a picture when I get it home. Good thing for me these things I bought are small or going on the wall, otherwise I'd have to get rid of some other things to make room.

How cute is this pint-sized chair and table? Ah, if I only had more room in the baby room.

Old frames. Good for framing. Good alone.

Old books.

Great desk chair that I'd like to have instead of our $10 dollar thrift treasure that needs repair.

What I came home with! A still-life oil painting of veggies, a wrought iron sconce, another little oil painting, the picture of the woman diving that I like so much, and a set of 6 glasses (I just have 4 in the picture).
Won't these be perfect for a Lillet or a little martini? Cocktails anyone? Well, none for me for a while longer.

Pickled Hutch Picks of the Week - 1/16

Here are my Pickled Hutch picks this week. Lisa has a lot of great new things in store, so if you're in San Francisco, make a trip to the hutch and see what's new.

I love this framed silk scarf of women diving. I'm thinking about it for our bathroom, unless someone snatches it up while I lollygag around thinking about it! $145

1930's mellow yellow Moonbeam clock that works great and lights up. $75
Pair of Indian clubs. I thought these were bowling pins, but Lisa informed that they are actually clubs. She's very knowledgeable that Lisa. $65
