Yarn winder

These look great set up as intended, to keep the yarn neat and organized. However, the friend that sold this to me, is very good at repurposing things. She thought the top could be taken off the stand and wire could be attached to hang this, and then display candles or herbs for drying! Just another way to use this! Stands 24-1/2 inches tall when in stand and is 19 inches wide. SOLD!

Big galvanized canning tub

Love the black stripe and wooden handles on this big old tub. They used these for canning, but I can see red geraniums in here! This tub measures 23 inches long and 13 inches wide. SOLD!

Older table tennis net

This table tennis net clamps on to the edge of your table. Wooden Supports hold the net in place. Net measures 39 inches across, and comes with a rag tag assortment of four paddles! All you need are some ping pong balls! SOLD!

Painted ladders and fence sections

These ladders just make me smile! I love the bright colors! Various sizes and colors. Also two wooden picket fence sections that are white, could be scruffed up to make them look a little more used. Great in the garden! Fence and all ladders are SOLD!

Very cool old chicken coop

I have a sweet little lady in her late 70's up north who calls me if she finds something she thinks I will like. She said "I have a very old, primitive chicken box......"and before she even finished I said yes! I just love anything to do with chickens. This will make a great coffee table. Right now in the store it is stacked on its end and that looks cool too. The rooster inside is not for sale. I owned him once, sold him, regretted it, and a friend went and got it back for me. He's mine for good now! The coop measures 25 by 38 inches and is 13 inches tall as shown in pics. SOLD!

Paint can in shipping crate

Great primitive look. The old paint can is inside the shipping crate. The metal tag reads Fitchburg Hardware Co. Fitchburg, MA and there are also letters etched into the wood. That reads that the crate meets all requirements for shipping. This measures 10 by 10 inches and stands 16 inches tall.

Two garden wall hangers, or use inside!

These would look great on a shed or fence, or hang inside. The sun is not old, but we all love a little sunshine, right? The other is maybe part of a rusty gate? Fleur de lis on points. The sun measures 30 inches across at widest point. The rusty gate is 28 inches across at widest point. Rusty Grate is SOLD! Sun is SOLD too!

Funky, chunky bench!

This has several coats of paint in various colors! Little hand hold for carrying and a shelf below too. Oops! Forgot to measure this. Not too big, nor too small, just right! SOLD!

One of my favorite finds!

Not the best picture of this, because it is so cool in person. This was the ticket taker's window from a racetrack. Two little iron bars kept the bad guys out! This measures 21-1/2 inches tall and is 9-1/2 inches across. Has a little shelf in front and latches closed in back when you are closed! SOLD!

Galvanized can on legs

This would make a fabulous planter! Lid is hinged on top and has a handle too. Can stands 17 inches tall and is 13 inches in diameter.

Great color on this watering can!

Ready for spring! This watering can is a pretty turquoise color. Has nozzle for watering in fine spray. Perfect for the garden! SOLD!

Quaker Oats crate

Wonderful graphics on this old box. They are on the bottom however! It makes a great height building display if you want to be able to see the words, or a great container if you put it right side up. It has a cool old padlock attached that locks nothing anymore since the lid is missing. Great look though! Even reads Quaker Oats on side, but it has been painted over! Measures 24 by 13 inches and stands 12 inches tall.SOLD!
