When we moved into this house in 1990, there was a tiny gold refrigerator in the kitchen.
We had a newer fridge in beige we wanted to keep.
Chucks with the help of a moving company hauled out the old gold and brought in the new - only to discover it was too tall for the cabinets.
Chucks dug out his trusty jigsaw and cut the cabinet off the wall leaving a gaping hole.
No, I was not around - I was at work.
Luckily I had this large crate which fit exactly into the hole.
New anniversary fridge was delivered the other day.
It is taller than the old.
Did not have to cut the cabinets, but the crate was no longer needed.
So it went off to Booth C-23.
Coming home from the antique mall I found he had rented a place out on the main highway for a month to draw new customers.
He started me a box of old junk when he saw me drive up.
Books.
Two green ironstone plates.
A tiny yellow tugboat.
The red one is marked Ace Hardware.
Ice skates.
Sold ten minutes after hanging them in the booth.
Why?
Door decor!
Love this brass one for long matches.
Selling.
A tiny feather-like tree.
The tree will fit into the cage.
Leave natural or paint them both white?
Yes, I bought them.
Will use for awhile and then off to the booth or Etsy.
See y'all!

Great finds! I think paint the birdcage white, but not sure about the tree. I Love the trio of pitchers, beautiful patina!

ReplyDeleteRemember those little tugboat toys. Like the thermoses. Think I would paint those things white...well, maybe not tree, unless it's faded. Oh & love those green copper things!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Donna. Yep no surprise the skates sold so quickly. They are always a great part of winter and Christmas decor. Have a great Friday.

I had to LOL that Chucks sawed off the cabinet. My husband sawed off the bottom half of a cabinet to fit our new fridge at the lakehouse. They are dangerous with jig saws, aren't they??
ReplyDeleteOh the cabinet being sawed off is funny! Glad you got a new fridge that covers it up. Love the new finds and the bird cage white but not the tree. I can't wait to see you next week!!
ReplyDeletewell if you sell the crate it will go fast. I can see that being used as a plate rack also.
ReplyDeleteI have never wanted a large bird cage till lately and I keep seeing ones I would hang out in my curtain tree for next spring and summer
Merry Christmas
I wish I had that crate! Glad you don't need it anymore, though. How's that new fridge?
ReplyDeleteLove those pitchers, too! Happy Friday and have a good weekend.

Love the crate. I am sure it will sell fast. So lucky that you have a shop owner that knows you well enough to "shop" for you. Love the green ironstone plates.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas.
