The driveway leading down to the store



Since it was such a beautiful day, I thought I would take some pictures outside the store. I wanted to take a picture of the driveway before the leaves fell, because it is usually just beautiful. I didn't make it out in time though, and with all the wind we had, most of the leaves are gone. I have added some other photos taken outside on the porch.

The table to the left of the front door

Some things next to the front door. A black rustic door that would be great painted, or repurposed somehow. A tin deer, a decoy wearing a burlap cover, a wooden shovel, and more.

November turkey flag

The front porch and the November turkey flag made of canvas. Last one!!

A black chair, the carved man, etc.


Some of the things next to the front door.

Kerosene heater

I'm selling this little kerosene heater for my friend, Bill. It would be perfect for a camp or garage. He says you can watch the flames through the front.

Moving in holiday items!

It seems so early, but when I started taking down Halloween items, the place looked pretty bare, so I just had to bring in some holiday things! Snow flocked trees-yikes! I don't want to see snow anytime soon.

Early knife box


Another knife box! Nice early wooden box with handle. These don't usually stick around too long. I found these little pumpkins made out of some kind of paper, and just love the way they look!

Primitive bee keeper's cage


Unusual primitive bee keeper's cage. This supposedly would mount on the front of the bee cage and there are two little mesh nets that hang down and a trap door to keep the bees in or out. Very interesting piece!

Why I don't buy china!!


I finally broke down and bought some china teacups and other pieces at an auction. I usually try to avoid anything breakable. When I was unloading my car, I tried to carry too much in one trip (a bad habit!) and the box of china slid off the top and crashed to the pavement. I lost a few pieces, but fortunately not all of it! I will stick to my rustic wooden items from now on. The china is on a cool little cart I got at another auction. It looks like someone used some old buggy wheels on the front giving it a "folky" look.

Sweet little butter churn in old mustard paint


Wonderful old paint in mustard color on this old butter churn. A nice small piece measuring 31 " high by only 18" wide not including the handle on the left side. Missing it's cover, but it would make a great planter or small end table (thanks for that idea, Gail!!) Excellent country look!

Butter churn from Nashua NH-nice graphics!

Nice old mustard paint on this churn and good graphics still intact. Blanchard Churn of Nashua NH.
