Today's Find

Today's Find:
A set of four 1900 bird prints, framed in twigs. How sweet is that?!
I picked these up at Olde Towne Hall Antiques, a group shop in Stratham NH.

I love them! They are already on my wall!

Love this Aqua (so much prettier than the snow & mud combo that surrounds me!)

*SOLD* Cute small wheelbarrow for your shabby garden or to decorate your porch.
Size is about 33" long, 12" wide & about 15" high.

Old Wooden Tray/Caddy

This is a handy old divided tray or caddy in yummy aqua paint. The size is 12"x22" and it is 4.5" deep.
It would make a fabulous display, a great shabby country or beach cottage look.
I can see it on a bench in a hallway or on a porch filled with bottles and shells.
Hanging on a wall displaying some pretties.
Or as a table centerpiece decorated with plants, flowers and candles.

1947 Diary (gone to new home)

This diary was in a box lot I got at an auction.
A couple entries caught my eye.
The writer mentioned her father got wood delivery for $6.50 (cord wood I guess!)
And she went to the dentist for a filling, cost $2.50.

Barn Fresh! Dirt and straw optional

Vintage Cloverdale bottles and crate
Love the clovers embossed on the bottoms of the bottles

Stylish Wraps 1937

Controls head wounds and makes a great chin lift too

My fav, imagine how you could co ordinate this with your outfit? A sprained ankle never looked so good

And always handy for getting around on those snowy days too

Snow Day

My Old Bird Cage

I figured it was time to take the holly greenery out of my old bird cage...give it a little taste of Spring.
(yes there is still 2 feet of snow covering my yard but I can dream...)

I do think I need to put a shabby little doily under the flower pot...

I love this bird cage for several reasons. First, I got it cheap at a yard sale. :>)

It came with the solid ceramic-like parakeet on the swing. It still has its old glass water and feeding dishes. And the clasps that hold the cage to the bottom are small iron owl figures!

FLEA MARKET STYLE

I was lucky enough to have the new issue of FLEA MARKET STYLE saved for me at Barnes and Noble.
I have been waiting since last year for this magazine. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait!

Hope you can find it somewhere, it seems to sell out FAST!!!!!!!

Got Milk?

Old glass milk bottles made great vases for wildflowers, especially on the kitchen windowsill or out on a porch table. Here's two that might work for you.
The Rutland Hills bottle $9.
The larger Benware bottle has some cute wording on it. $12

Wonderful small oil on board $29

This little vintage painting of  a vase full of flowers is quite nice.  There is a signature that I am not sure of.. The size, including the frame is 4x10.5

Must be mid century modern day

 Trio of enameled and decorated Japanese stacking tables. $59

Stangl covered cigarette dish/tray. So very 1960. 

Mid Century Pottery Lamps $29 pair

I like the form and color on this pair of small pottery lamps. You would have to find the right shades to make them shine and live up to their full vintage potential.

I would suggest rewiring these retro lamps before using them. Then they will safely shine!

The feminine side...

This is a sweet little stand, just right for holding a vase of posies or a cup of tea.
It is a lightweight composite with lovely painted floral designs on the top and the base.
Price is $30

Westmoreland diamond design heavy milk glass 1950s butter dish $20

Pretty dish

Pretty design and colors on this chocolate pot that is missing its lid.

Some country goodies

Vintage HotPoint iron, great for laundry room decor
Old ads made into signs

Stoneware whiskey jug $24
Small double handed stoneware jug $12

Cute and handy, black slatted bench $39
Vintage LOTTO game. Cool box, but even better are the round wooden numbers.  $10

Top of slatted bench, would be pretty with a cushion.

Pair of maple chairs $59

Oil cans

*SOLD* at Just The Thing! Framed artwork $75

You have got to see this fun original framed artwork done in 1954. It will make you smile.
 The size including frame is 31x37.

Auction Find

Yesterday was an action filled day at the auction. I love sitting for hours on a cold metal chair LOL
There were some good deals and several furniture pieces I had to pass on since I didn't have the truck.
But I did find some goodies.
This morning I will be getting them cleaned up and tagged to go into the shop.

Here are 4 sweet little prints of Sun Bonnet Babies in a nice old frame.

 I believe these images have a 1905 copyright.
