Marüshka love

I found these two silkscreened canvases last summer and snatched them up to hang in our farmhouse.  Now I'm curious about their maker.  Does anyone know more about them?  All I know is the creator was an art teacher in Grand Haven, Michigan, he died in 2007 and his canvasses were popular in dorm rooms in the 70s.  When popularity started waning in the 80s he changed to clothing items, like aprons.  I have not seen these two prints in any of my searches.

Friday Find - Where do I put my gum?



This vintage kitty spot to park your gum was just too irresistible, it came home with me for $1.50.  I just googled it and found them anywhere from $9 to $28, I don't know if they're selling but I bought it just because it was unique to me anyway.

Friday Find - Vintage Director's Chair



20120727-153305.jpg

Found this vintage chair missing the canvas. Husband just cleaned the wood up then passes it on to me for the sewing. I really like how it turned out. I think we have about $10 in it.

Friday Find - Antique Glass Candy Jar



Found this old candy jar at a garage sale.  It's a vintage round glass container with 2 flat spots to sit it upright, or tilted, with a metal screw on lid.  These used to sit in candy stores, general stores - just imagine how many little hands have reached inside.  They sell for about $80 in antique stores, I did a quick search and found one on ebay for $95.  I paid $30 for the jar and a little more for all the candy to fill it, lol.
