Handcrafted colonial child's jacket

One of my favorite finds! I bought this at an auction a few weeks ago and ordered a mannequin to go with it. Still waiting for my mannequin to come when I found this little make do mannequin. He is standing in (pun intended) until the real mannequin arrives. All hand sewn, very small child's colonial jacket. I would guess it may be a size 3 or possibly 4, but it would make a very cute hanging decoration in any case. Velvet type material with little brass buttons, brocade trim, and lace at the sleeves. SOLD!

Sweet doll bed on wheels

I love the look of this with it's wire mesh platform for mattress. Measures 27-1/2 inches by 13 inches wide and stands 16 inches at the tallest part of headboard. SOLD!

Oval deep dish pottery with saltware glaze

Large oval deep dish pottery would make a beautiful centerpiece for your table. Picture this full of Indian corn, pumpkins, a little bittersweet, you get the idea! 15 by 10 inches. no marking on bottom other than the number 3. SOLD!

5 one half gallon canning jars

Very cool one half gallon canning jars in the older style with twisted wire around the neck. They almost have a smoky hue to them. The lids don't match but I think that gives them more charm! One is newer and marked Ball and one has a remnant of it's old label for Armour's cherries. All jars except newer Ball jar are SOLD!

Full size chenille bedspread

Hard to find a place in the shop to spread this out and take a photo of it opened up. It is in excellent condition with the design along the edges and mostly white in the center. Pretty colors and nice and warm! SOLD!
