Just chillin'

I am moving on from Halloween to Thanksgiving, and yes, even Christmas, but I couldn't resist one more picture of my little skeleton. He is so cute just hanging out on what I think would be a great chair for Halloween decorating. Okay, pretty soon I will pack him away until next year, or better yet, move him to my house!

Maple table and four chairs

Not too old, but what a great little set for a small eating area or a first home. Four chairs and a table with leaves that pull out to make the table longer. Priced to sell!

Hand carved decoy sign

Hand carved ice spearing fish decoy sign. Artist signed the back, with his name-Tom Breen of Greenville, NH with a little caricature of Tom himself. Measures approx. 18-1/2 inches long by 7-1/2 inches high. Own a piece by a NH artist!

SOLD!!

Tiny popcorn popper

What a cute little popcorn popper. It must have been a toy because the amount of popcorn you could make in this wouldn't even equal a mini-bag serving size! Decorated with tiny ornamental corn and some raffia.

SOLD!!

Primitive washboard

This is a well used scrub board. I can just imagine the woman who labored over this board. It is so smooth and some of the ridges have been worn almost flat! What a great primitive piece for your laundry room!

SOLD!!

Rustic house

I found this great little rustic house on one of my trips up north. It reminded me of a little log cabin in the woods! Hand crafted of wooden strips and a tin roof complete with chimney!

SOLD!

Corn drying rack

Interesting corn drying rack with Indian corn included. A great fall display! A friend of mine hung gourds from hers.

Our 2nd anniversary open house is this weekend!

It's hard to believe that two years have passed. I have had more fun than I could have imagined. I have met such wonderful new friends, and learned so much from the people I have talked with. I appreciate all the help from the other local shops sending people over to me. Three Sisters in particular have been incredibly supportive since I opened. I would also like to thank Well Kept Secret, The Prancing Horse, and the newest addition to town, Flight of the Heron located on Marshall Road in Kingston. Ernie and Liz Landry have created a beautiful new shop. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful community of shops here in Kingston who are willing to help one another out. We are quickly becoming a destination town for treasure hunting!

Close up of face of yarn winder

There is this beautiful star either painted or etched onto the wooden back. The star has eight points and the number

40 at the top. It goes down in increments of five, and we think this was possibly to count the skeins or ounces of yarn?? It's a mystery piece for sure!

Unusual primitive partial yarn winder

After much discussion and debating, we have come to the conclusion that this is an early yarn winder, but that it is not only missing it's arms to hold the yarn, it was also possibly a "make-do." The base doesn't seem to match the rest, and it seems as if someone put two pieces together to create this. However, I absolutely love the look of it. It is pegged together in some places, and has square nails.

Two little white benches

I love stacking these little benches, and they make a wonderful country display.

Forschner's Scale in Brass

I just can't help but buy these awesome scales when they become available! This is a Forschner's scale in brass with hanging pan. I got the great little pumpkins and gourds at Magnusson's Farm right here in Kingston. They were very reasonably priced too! This scale was put out this morning and sold this afternoon, but I have already replaced it with a similar hanging scale. I was lucky enough to get two at this week's auctions. SOLD!!
