What's New?

The past couple of weeks we have been trying to fit in as many mini day trips and auctions as we can. Keeping the shop full keeps us busy. Two weeks ago Anne and I spent the whole weekend searching for treasures. On Saturday we drove around southern Wisconsin in search of goods, and came up almost empty handed. Then Sunday we headed north again, and we actually ran into our new friend,from Urbanfarmgirlandco at an auction. It's always nice to run into fellow junkers like yourself, however, because we were so chatty, we were actually asked to be quiet. I felt like I was back in grade school, both embarrassed and annoyed! Anyway, Anne and I left pretty much empty handed from that too, so we were off again this past weekend. This time, we had more luck, a whole van full kind of luck. We just wanted to share a little of what's new at the shop.
We loooove this old biscuit box.

This is a great little cabinet which would look good in any room of the house. She is painted in Annie Sloan's Country Grey. 

This piece made its debut the last 2 sales and got lots of notice.  It would work as a great desk, work bench or kitchen island.  It's fab!

An adorable old baby scale with some reworked antique trim pieces (they make great jewelry displays when hooks are added).

This table is not new, but customers have shown a ton of interest.  We found lots of small chairs this weekend, a couple new stools too.

Little soap dishes.

Get ready to make something special for your Valentine next month with this vintage cake pan.

Old army blankets, and new baskets in different sizes.

This was used in the making of huge poles for the Wisconsin Electric Company.  So cool!

The secretary got a face lift recently.  It turned out so cute.

This chippy old leather top stool is so perfect.  It just needs a little tlc.

We thought this should be left unpainted for a while.  It's in really good shape.  But boy oh boy will she be pretty with some ASCP on her!

We've added quite a few cool pieces of hardware.

 

Vintage dictionary bundles. 

Mini Book bundles.

We are crazy about this blue grey shelf.  Anne has her eye on it already!

These metal numbers would look great attached to a basket. There are lots of other treasures too. 

We hope to see you out this weekend.  We are open this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, January 12th, 13th, and 14th.  Hours are 10-5 on Thursday and Friday, and 10-3pm on Saturday.  We are located at 22029 N.
