Friday Finds

Treasures to turn your head this week.

 From the most mundane ..

Bed springs - excellent for displays.

Steps so I can reach the new kitchen cabinets if they ever arrive. 

A basket with two foreign language textbooks.

An old canvas bag found under a workshop table at an estate sale.

Containing three signal flags.















 

A red and white enamelware pot holding ...

A pile of 1950's era girl's dresses.

In my delight at finding these, I quite forgot I would not have a washer for at least three weeks. 

Framed porcelain tiles.

What really turned my head was this very old cabinet - probably pre-1900's.

Very distressed.

I have carefully brushed the dirt from it.

Next step is to stabilize the plaster..

See how she turns her head?

That is the handhold to open the door.

Maybe a spice cabinet?

Must save the patina.

A quick tip:  use a foam brush to dust books.

Picks up more than a brush.









We have headaches from listening to reciprocator saws tearing out most of the kitchen, laundry room and pantry.

It is actually exhausting having other people do the work.

Who  knew?

Promised photos of the demolition to follow.

See y'all!

Due to construction, I will be unable to set up at the annual Magnolia Ridge Antiques and Art Gathering. However, I will definitely be a shopper!  Hope to see you there.
