Jonathan Adler warehouse sale happening right now!

Someone pinch me! I feel like I just got a great birthday present, even though that dreaded date is in December. I went to Jonathan Adler's warehouse sale which is being held in Bushwick, Brooklyn. This was the first day, and I went there 15 min before the opening time, thinking I would be there like a lone bird waiting in front of the gate, but there were almost 50 people already in line when I got there. When they let us in, everyone rushed in. There were so many things on display; pottery, furniture, lighting, etc, but I used my laser eyes to quickly scan the setup and went for what I came for, and lucky me because the faces vase (Dora Maar vase) and the rhino box were only one each on display, which means I was lucky to grab them as early as I did, because they are such sought after pieces.

And this is the awesome craziness of it all: had I bought them all at retail value in store, the cost would have been $ 800, but I only paid $ 120. Another way to look at it is what I paid for all of them is less than half of the store price for the Dora Maar vase.

The sale will continue until the end of May 22. It is at 513 Irving avenue, Brooklyn, NY.

Here is a picture of everything I got today all together:

I am editing this post to add that I went to the sale again, because there were a few things that I had passed yesterday, as they were not on my immediate to-buy list, but after re-considering  (especially keeping in mind the price, which is a great value), I decided to go get them. So here they are in the picture below. The store value for all those in the picture below is $ 170, while I paid only $ 25 for all of them.

Accessories that I like

And some accessories to bring a fun vibe to any room (You can find them here and here):

This handpainted porcelain vase by Jaime Hayon for Lladro looks whimsical and so cute.

And this  porcelain candleholder by Maxim Velcovsky for Quubus looks creepy at times, but it is interesting nevertheless. I like how he "grows hair" as the candle melts. I actually may buy this one day.

And I have been wanting some of these vases and sculptures (but not that boob lamp; that would just freak me out) by Jonathan Adler for a long time, like the marvelous dora maar vase (first one below). If I still like that vase in two years, I may eventually end up buying it, because that means it is just meant to be.
