Peach City Pickin's Or My Big Giant Hand

Last Friday Chucks and I drove up the interstate a bit to Peach City (Gilbert, SC) for a little rust hunting.

Boy, did we ever find it!

 
AND I bought a big giant hand!

Created by a folk artist, but not signed.

You can see it is almost as long as the tailgate.

Either side of it makes for a great display.

It is right hefty.

Eight of these industrial holders.

Love the rusty patina on the gray and red metal.

Looks like they held spools of some sort.

They are standing on their ends here.

Holes for mounting these on the left.

They are half-rounds with the four compartments.













 

Standing on end in the garden.

Or filled with moss and potting soil for planters.

A huge flat springs with rounded edges.

A giant bird cage in crusty, rusty white.

Just right for a Madonna or Santos figure.

I can imagine the huge flat springs hanging crosswise on a white wall with the giant hand mounted on it.

All now available at Booth W-10, Riverfront Mall.




You can drool over the rust and crust at Peach Festival Gardens on their FaceBook page.

Hands Up For Hands Down The Best Finds

Hands up for hands down the best finds lately.

Yes, HANDS!!!

I shared some finds yesterday from this estate sale, but what made me go on the first day was all the online pics of the hands.

Since I was busy snatching up grave markers and fertilizer sprayers, I was slow to get inside the den where the hands were displayed.

Well, Danni (  ) let me tell you -

There are other people who collect body parts!

One pair of Avon milk glass hands?

No, there are three pairs!

Two small ivory porcelain hands - not identical, but close.

This hand actually stands on the base.

Ivory with gold painted accents.

A glass hand jar with a cute little green cap.

A yellow-green hand vase.

A very green thumb.

LUCKY GREEN THUMB embossed on the back.

I am thinking 1990's repro of something older.

What do you think?

Hands up if you love these.

The estate agent said there were over one hundred hands.

I was tired of standing in line so I left.

Did not return the next day.

I told you I was cutting my shopping in half!

If you need a hand, I have these listed in my Etsy shop.

See y'all!
