An old bilge pump!


Okay, this is is the only thing I bought last night that wasn't green! I just couldn't resist it though. My parents had an old wooden boat that was built in the 1930's. We used a bilge pump just like this one on that boat, and sometimes my father would send us kids into the skiff to pump out rainwater that would collect there. He liked to put us all to work! They sold that boat, the Side by Side in 1965 and bought a beautiful old wooden Chris Craft. That boat was already named the JoLyn, and they kept the name. I loved it because I always thought it was named after me! My mother thinks that boat had an electric bilge pump, so we no longer had to use one of these contraptions.
. SOLD!

One of the green boxes from last night's auction


This is one of the green pieces that made it in to the store. Fantastic green paint, perfect for spring! Has a latch to keep it closed and one handle in front.
SOLD!

I had to sneak in a picture of Aspen!


Here is my silly dog in one of his favorite spots! He loves to look out the front windows and growl at all the kids coming and going. He is on patrol, and thinks this chair is just for him!

Washtub stand


Wooden washtub stand still has some of it's lettering on the top slats. Shown here with an aluminum washtub. I had several of these tubs saved up, but they are selling fast!
Stand is SOLD!

Wooden tool tote


Wooden tool tote with handle and the notches for keeping saws in place. These are great for spring displays! I wonder what the carpenter who used this would think of it being used to hold flowers?

Another chicken feeder


I haven't made it up to Rumney for one of my favorite little country auctions in months. They are finally running again now that spring is here! I can always find something unique there. I just can't get enough of these aluminum chicken feeders. This one can be used for water, or feed.
SOLD!

Hoppe's gun cleaning kit


Also from Rumney, a cool little wooden box with gun cleaning accessories from Hoppe's. Box has finger joints on corners.
