A day spent treasure hunting
I thought it would be fun to show how we spend a day stocking up on all the treasures for my store. 7:30 a.m. I pick up my partner in crime. This is a photo of her beautiful barn. She has some really neat old tools displayed, plus four beautiful horses inside, and a few chickens too!
A beautiful field of wildflowers
If it had not been so overcast, the mountains would have been visible in the background.
Some of the auction treasures laid out
I can't show a picture of the exterior of this auction hall because that would divulge my top secret buying place-hee hee!
Jan's Junk
My favorite stop after the auction. She calls it Jan's Junk, although it's anything but junk. She finds me some great old primitives. I love coming here.
An old truck and an old car in an old gas station
Gotta love these old trucks!
That's it, time to head back on the highway.

Burrough's adding machine
Cool Burrough's adding machine. I love the old yellowed roll of paper still intact in the roller.

Boston Mass crate
Beautiful old crate, marked Boston, Mass on front. Nice divider inside. This would make a great little coffee table with storage. SOLD!
Long wooden tool tote
Nice long tote, measures 36 inches long by 11-1/2 inches wide. Lots of little compartments in this one.
SOLD!
Hanging scale
I think that this scale must have been exposed to the sun and the glass had a magnifying effect, which burned the paper face on this.
Still love the look of this great old scale.
SOLD!
On my day off, trying to relax by the pool!
I was trying to read a really good book, and my 70+ pound dog got scared by something. (He's neurotic!) He kept trying to climb up into my lap. I kept pushing him down. Then he hopped onto one of the patio chairs and tried to get on the table. I wrestled with him for three minutes. Did I mention he is very stubborn? Anyway, I turned my back for one second, and he hopped right onto the glass topped table. I finally gave up and just let him stay there. I was nervous that if I struggled to get him down that he would break the glass or get hurt. Well, he stayed there for two whole hours! Gail, can you come and teach this dog some manners?
My good dog!
Here is my GOOD dog! She is the mom, and doesn't she look embarrassed by her son's behavior? Notice how she stays on the ground where all good dogs belong!

We have a whole pile of old hubcaps, but the one on top is one of my favorites! I think it's for Mercury, the winged man. They look great hanging in your vintage garage!
