Country wall cupboard

Cute little wall hanging cupboard with towel bar and two shelves. Door lifts up.
SOLD!

Bread and cake tin


I love this old tin, used to hold breads and cakes. The door slides open and shut. Nice graphics on front. Made by Porter.
SOLD!

Bread and Cake tin inside


Cool old bread and cake tin showing inside with two shelves suspended above base.

Oil lamp


Pretty oil lamp with a beautiful amber glass bottom and cobalt blue shade.

Large hay rake


This hay rake is in excellent condition, and looks it was hardly used. I have it hanging over the doorway and attached to one of the beams in the addition. The rake measures approx. 5 feet 3 inches across. My friend Bill tells me that these were used to rake up the hay around the edges of the field after bales were made. He said this way none of the hay went to waste. What a beautiful piece!
SOLD!

Cast iron pie rack in red


Great little pie rack in old red paint. Sometimes a piece will just catch your eye at an auction and you hope you are lucky enough to get it. This did and I was! I also got some beautiful old pie plates that were lovingly well used, and this is one of them.
SOLD!

Little natural handmade sled


The front of the sled is shown here. This is handmade of birch branches and some kind of bark or husk. It will stand alone or could be hung. After I took this picture, I just had to make up a little spray of natural greens and some red artificial berries. It just needed a little touch of color!
SOLD!!

Little natural handmade sled


Shown here from the back, someone did a lot of work putting this little sled together.

The latest flag on harness piece


Last weekend we sold one of these flags, so we went to work making a new one. I rummaged through my storage shed until I found this harness piece. I haven't hung one from a beam before and I like the way it looks up there!
SOLD!! (but there is already a replacement!)

Hatbox, hats, gloves


I just picked up this hatbox at my favorite Monday morning auction. It's from Dobbs of New York and has great graphics with a vintage street scene and old cars. Leather handle snaps shut to carry hatbox.

wooden ladder


Short wooden ladder with distressed white paint, shown here hanging from one of the beams. My friend Deb put knobs on a ladder similar to this one, attached it horizontally to a wall, and hung baskets, etc. from it. These also look great leaning against a wall with quilts or linens.
SOLD!
