Piano casters - rusted!

Old can - rusted.

Primitive bench with a touch of blue left on it.

A turquoise birdhouse with three apartments inside.

Eighteen large spools.

A red bench.

Thanks, Dale!

Old cotton basket in red - it has a hole but I still love it!

A large white basket that held ...

Child-sized vintage hangers!

A bunch of miscellaneous casters - rusted.


A stepladder - quite distressed.


Two Pepsi carton crates.

Black Flag Insecticide sprayer.

A flag.

A wooden and metal handmade scoop.

Thanks, Millie!

A tin of buttons.

A print of twins - a boy and a girl.

Thanks, Millie!

Thanks, Maddie!

Tin tiles.

A bird cage.

A feed sign.

Thanks, Olive!

I had just a few dollars left in my pocket when I started for home.

Then I met Eddie on the side of the road.

I wanted the white metal shelf, the chisel store display, and the brown suitcase.

I told him I did not have much money.

He named a price.

He must have ESP - it was exactly what was in my pocket!

Thanks, Eddie!


There is so much going on this weekend, I am not sure which direction to go.

Just point me towards the rusty, crusty stuff.


See y'all!

A Morning Cup Of Joe

Friday Finds

Three truckloads before noon last Saturday.

I had to go home to dump the treasures before heading back out.

I will not bore you with all - just some.

 


A boxful of baby shoes - well-loved.

Buttons, buttons, buttons followed by spools, spools, spools.

Printer's tray.

About ten floral frogs in different sizes.

A weaving loom from the 60's.

A pair of heavy duty end tables with barley twist legs.

The tops are ugly - water damage.

A very large tub I plan to use as a planter.

A MCM* dresser which is now in the middle of a major makeover.

I love the chair frame just as it sits.

Naked beauty.

The small Corsican-style table with beautiful spooled legs and ...

... beautiful burled top.

Unfortunately there is damage to the finish on the legs.

I am only touching the legs - NOT the top.

I have a whole post to write about this primitive beauty.

Handsawn wood.

Handmade with a lot of love.

It was getting late and it was SUNNY  so the pictures go downhill from here.

The Sirocco framed young girl.

There's a small bench behind her.

A cherub

A shelf unit.

And a mirror.

 

I know, I know - you cannot see them!

A lovely group of white shutters.

A wire blue plant stand.

An ornate gold frame.

Look, Farragoz fellow students, a whole jar of homemade gesso.

Not like ours, but similar.

I found it at the bottom of a box.  It is a wonder it did not break and ruin everything.  I got it free because no one at the estate sale knew what gesso was.








In the DON'T TELL CHUCKS section of this week's Friday Finds:

I went to Tractor Supply for a bag of dog food, but who can get out of that place without buying more?

I can't.

On the sale rack was this toolbox planter and the galvanized holder.



Yes, I know I am culling the herd of my vintage toolboxes, but this is perfect for my new porch look.

I also picked up two crib mattresses.

A quick tutorial:
1. Grab mattress.
2. Strip the mattress of all padding.
3. Use springs for displays!

*MCM - Mid-Century Modern!

Friday Finds

It was the week for rusty, crusty, dusty stuff.

A few cobwebs, too!

Last Monday our niece Leia came to spend the day.

I was in the fog of Extra-Strength Tylenol.

No, I did not drive.

Somewhere along the way I left behind a bag with vintage Ideal magazines and other items.  I have no recollection, but I am sure they were fabulous.

I was so excited to find this brown toile tablecloth because of the number of different animals in the pattern.

Horses, goats, cows, dogs, peacocks, deer - just to name a few.

Steampunk chic.

Love the sculptural quality of this old piece of organ.

I will list this on Etsy as soon as I get it clean.

Found another brown suitcase - this one extra large.

Could not resist this $1 jeans jacket covered with hundreds of vintage buttons - front and back.

It weighs about seven pounds.

Fits perfectly.

And STINKS to high heaven.

I will have to soak it for days and dry it out in the sun.

The old coffin carrier is filled with a stack of frosted windows.

Another cleaning project. <sigh>

That's not distressing you see - it is mold!

A heart-shaped basket holding a darling paper mache piggy bank

A silver picture holder.

Another colander - I thought it was graniteware, but it is just dirt.

An unusual mold.  

Sell or keep?

A stack of numbered drawers.

heart

Vintage round wall basket in delicious white and blue paint.

A rusty grater and eggbeater.

A floral frog covered in (?).

Six heart molds.

I am sure the tea tin is pretty under the crud.  


Love its shape and the lift top lid.

Not too often can you find a smoking baby.

See the tiny hole in his mouth?

He may be for string.

A roll of tiny jute fits in the back.

Chalkware.












If you find a purple Publix bag packed  with some treasures, let me know.  

I am missing whatever is in it.

See y'all!



UPDATE:  MY PURPLE BAG WAS SAVED AND HIDDEN UNDER THE COUNTER AT THE THRIFT STORE!




NOTE:  I updated my coupon code for my Etsy shop.  I was embarrassed to find out my coupons had expired.  There are new listings for you to browse.  Enjoy!
