The barn!


This one is a cool barn with horseshoe, faucet, and knobs, plus a neat antique bobbin on the roof with a finial atop it.

Here is a side view of the barn with the cookie cutter horse, bottle opener and corrugated tin roof.

Just chillin'

A rusty spring, an antique wood fork, pulleys, and this cute little bird is just chillin' on his perch.

This one I had to buy for my front porch!


I loved this one because I remember buying the little clay finial on the roof at Dover Antique Market, and the little brass knob came from one of the auctions. So, it was really cool to have little pieces of my store incorporated into a birdhouse that I could keep.

Amazing the way things have been recycled onto the birdhouses. Here are maple syrup taps, an old insulator, candy molds, architectural stars, etc.

Upstairs in the barn


They had trees set up to hang the birdhouses from, and there were even recorded birds chirping, so it seemed as if they were in the rafters!

Unusual wall shelf unit


This is a really interesting wall shelf unit. Stands 7 feet 4 inches tall. Has three shelves and could be nailed to the wall. I think it would make an excellent store display piece if a table were attached to it so it was freestanding, because the back side has great old green chipped paint. One side could have things hanging from it, and the other has the shelves. A little wider than an average door.
SOLD!

Cool primitive! These hatchels were used to comb through the flax to get seeds and bark out before spinning the flax into yarn.
