Found this beauty on the curb a few weeks ago. Someone actually threw this away. It has absolutely nothing wrong with it except a bit of glaze flaking on the bottom and a bit of crazing which I find charming anyway. It stands about 8 inches high and about 6 inches wide. The color is bright [...]
One Wednesday, my friend, Linda and my dog, Thunder and I went for our usual daily walk. It is our effort~ so as to be able to eat what we want~ to take a walk every day. Well, another thing we love about our walks is that on Wednesday evening it is trash night. You know where [...]
Last Friday, my husband and I hit the Madison- Bouckville Antique Show. I thought it would be fun to show for VTT. It is a huge gathering with over one thousand dealers in upstate NY. It’s in the middle of corn fields surrounded by more corn fields. Really pretty. We look forward to it [...]
I have a thing for metal chairs. I think they are so practical~ able to be left out in the weather, they give an air of times gone by, and they look good red. What else could you ask for? Two weeks ago I showed some metal chairs on VTT that we had found on the [...]
Combine lilacs (one of my favorites!) with some cute animals in a vintage print and you have my vintage thingie. I found this nicely framed Currier and Ives print “Two Little Fraid Cats” in the bottom of an old trunk that was given to me by a friend. It was in great shape except for a little cleaning [...]
Because my last post on containers caused some interest in my picnic baskets, I thought I would show them for VTT, because they are not only fun and inexpensive they are also vintage. Unfortunately they don’t last more than a season or two if you leave them out where they are in the sun and rain. Under a [...]
I didn’t have anything garden related to show for vintage thingies thursday so I thought I would share something that would spark a bit of humor in this bathing suit season. I found this picture among a box of photos that I purchased from an elderly gentleman at a neighborhood garage sale. I got a [...]
~ mixing my love of plants and pots and whimsey~ you get these really fun planters. I love stopping at a garage sale or skimming ebay and finding one of these treasures. ~”Half the interest of a garden is the constant exercise of the imagination”. ~Mrs. C.W. Earle
This is the child’s adirondack set I bought at a garage sale a few weeks ago for fifteen dollars. It was very well made but in terrible need of a little tlc. I was more than happy to spend a little time to make this pair of chairs and table shine. A lot of sanding, tightening [...]
These are the great vintage finds from the garage sale I went to. This picnic basket is in almost perfect condition. There are no breaks in the outside and it is lined with RED(my fave) and has service for 6 of plates, cups and silverware. I am not fond of the tableware but the basket [...]
