Fun find at a Saturday barn sale!



Awesome hen nester has opening in back where the chickens would get in and an opening in the front where the eggs could be gathered from. I came home with this and wanted to put it in the store right away. I just couldn't wait! The rooster is guarding the brood!

Sent my husband to buy a window, and he found this too!




You just never know when you are going to find a fabulous treasure. Old stall doors with a nameplate for the horse which would hang above the stall. Great detailing, still has old hinges on one side, plus a leather strap for pulling, and my favorite part, the little wooden latch. It has amazing patina. Door has a wonderful look to it. I have seen these in country magazines used on a wall for display. I know my own daughter would have wanted one in her room when she was 11 or so. She is still horse crazy, but her decorating style has changed!
SOLD!

Vintage baby clothes



I don't usually buy linens, but couldn't resist these beautiful vintage baby clothes. The first one on the line is flannel, and my favorite piece. Love the simplicity of it! These came from Berlin, NH.
Dress on right is sold! Flannel on left is sold! But we have more!

Adorable child's watering can and a frog


I love this cute little child's watering can in old green paint. Also a ceramic frog that is new, but would be adorable in your garden.

Red metal cranberry rake


Great look to this rake. Wooden handle with a metal top. Row of teeth measures 22 inches wide. Red paint. I was told this was used for cranberries.
SOLD!

14 foot chestnut hand hewn apple picking ladder




. SOLD!

Just added this afternoon! What a great find! 14 feet tall, made of chestnut, and hand hewn for such a beautiful look. These are getting harder and harder to find, especially in such good condition, with no cuts, breaks, or repairs. Fantastic patina, each rung was hand hewn, as well as the two sides. If you have a cathedral ceiling, this would look wonderful leaning against the wall. They also look amazing going up a staircase as the hand railing. I wanted to get this on the website, and the sun is setting behind the store, so not the optimal time to take photos, but trust me, it is gorgeous in person.

What a find!


Amazing architectural art! These signs are so hot in all the country magazines. They are being used in the place of traditional art. They look fabulous on a large wall. This is double sided tin, and the back has a little tinge of blue to the lettering. This is quite large, measuring 3 feet by 5 feet across and 2-1/2 inches thick. What a fantastic look this has.

Having fun with our cowboy tub!


My friend brought over some cowboy boots and hat, and we dragged out our old Halloween skeleton. We think it's funny, but so far the reactions have been mixed!

Red Chatillon scale



Adding to our collection of scales is this beautiful red Chatillon. Everyone loves red!

SOLD!

Another favorite find

LOVE IT!! This folky old chest is made of shipping crates, some are Necco wafer crates, and some are from a woolen manufacturing company. Top is hinged and lifts up, and the chest has two drawers. Top drawer is divided. This has such a fabulous look to it. It measures approx. 34 inches wide, by 15 inches front to back and 20 inches tall. This would be perfect for a coffee table and would also have great storage for TV remotes, etc.



SOLD!








And the back is awesome too!

My favorite part is that is partially made of old Necco wafer shipping crates. This is the back, and there is another part of Necco wafer box on front drawer, but it is harder to see.

Has anyone seen my parakeet?



I originally bought this for my own garden. I love the bent and mangled look of it. The whole bottom is missing, perfect to place over a plant. I decided to hang it in the store for a while as a joke. It has a note on it asking if anyone has seen my parakeet.

SOLD!

Heavy duty filing cabinet








My friend scored this fabulous find at a barn sale. I was so envious that she let me put it in the shop! This industrial look is hot right now. Several drawers and they are all full with file cards from various business accounts. This cabinet is HEAVY, I think it must weigh at least sixty pounds or more. Measures 24 inches long, by 8 inches wide (long and narrow) and stands 21-1/2 inches tall.

SOLD!
