Sunday's Flea Finds

 Sunday morning at the flea market we picked up 3 chicken feeders.

Keeping the bottom one for our future chickens.

and a few other misc items for resale.

This may be the last Sunday flea of the season unless

the weather gets unseasonably warm.

I always hate the end of junking season😡

Two Vintage White Dressers

 I love resurrecting old pieces of furniture.

It happened that I bought these two dressers within a

couple weeks of each other.  The above victorian

beauty has an ornate mirror that goes with it.

I knew that the embrossed design on the drawers would

really pop with a bit of paint.  

This is a super sturdy old lady.  I only needed to sand the

top a bit, and it was gorgeous with a bit of stain and finish.

Both are going in my vintage home sale this weekend.

Holiday Vintage Home Sale

 We are getting ready for our last home sale of the year --

with a Thanksgiving & Christmas theme.

 I still have two hickory log desks and one dining table

left from the ones I bought at auction a couple of weeks ago.

So they will be in the sale.

 Vintage Christmas.

But I definitely didn't find as much this year as normal.

 Some autumnish primitives.

 Local advertising.

 A whole herd of concrete animals and gnomes.

 Holiday sparkles.

We are only going to open Sunday afternoon,

so we'll see how that works out.

Local Antiques Store Dollar Tree Pumpkins

 

And this is what the owner did with her Dollar Tree

pumpkins!  Check out my 2019 Dollar Tree pumpkins here.

Last Sunday's Flea Finds

I purchased these items, while my husband was doing

some heavy duty selling at the flea market.

(Our first selling experience there, and it went well.)

I'm always a sucker for old clocks.

UPDATE:  A year later this clock moved into our new guest cottage!

....and transferware.  These pieces had some damage,

but I decided to keep these and sell some other pieces I have.

Most of these pieces also made it into the guest cottage!

Speaking of keeping....

you can see that this little pitcher has already been

assimilated.

Purity Oil Axle Grease Cans

 I went to an auction Saturday,

and came away with about 100 of these little cans.

I love the graphics, and that it was a local company.

I divided them up into four "grades".

These three are "B" grade.

The "C"s are going to be in my next home sale for $2 ea.

The "D"s are going to be little planters next spring.

We'll see how the selling of the "A"s and "B"s go.

Made over $800 selling these on Facebook Marketplace.

Hickory Furniture From College Of The Ozarks

 Saturday we went to an auction at College Of The Ozarks,

on a whim.  I wish I had taken photos of everything that was offered.

Furniture, looms, science equipment, yarn, lighting, books, framed

artwork, and hickory log furniture.

 This is one of  the bases for the four tables

that I purchased.  I plan to sell three and keep one for the guest cottage that

we are planning on building.

 I do love the look of them.

 And these are the two side tables that I purchased.

I may end up keeping one of them for the guest cottage.

Such a great size and look to them.

Front Door Problems Part II

 Yes, we are still working at replacing our front door.

Progress:  we decided on different doorknobs

(found these in our shop.)

 Progress: the non-working mortise lock

got replaced with one that is almost the same size.

Progress: I didn't like the shiny finish I had applied earlier, 

so I sanded down and did two coats of hand

rubbed poly.  I think I will do one more coat.

Problems:  * I still have the other side to do!

* I still have to get on our Handyman's radar -- he will

need to find old looking hinges and figure out how to hang

a door that is 1/4" too small for the opening.
