Happy Turkey Day

Thanksgiving (HAPPY THANKSGIVING) is just two days away and then the Christmas shopping season will begin.

I have been working hard to restock and fluff my booth with all sorts of new vintage finds, including all things Christmas.

I have vintage toys, furniture, kitchen wares, tools, hardware…….and so much more!

I absolutely adore this charming handmade 12 Days of Christmas Banner (seen above).

It is made from felt and covered in hand sewn beads & sequins.  It, definitely, has a wonderful vintage feel and is almost 7 feet tall.

I am always finding and buying old rusty metal things, as you can see.

An old toolbox tray could make great a decorative display or useful storage.  The yellow Tonka toy crane is still working and would make a great gift for any child, including the young at heart.

Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus are molded from the Atlantic Mold Co. in the 1970s.  These pieces are fairly large, Joseph is about 10 inches tall.  Carved into the bottom of Mary: To Betsy, From Billie 1976.

The display you see above makes me smile. 🙂

It includes a milk painted writing desk and rush chair.  The desk top is made out of reclaimed 2 x 4s.

The child’s rush rocking chair is one of my favorite things. ❤

I purchased it without a seat and falling apart, but with a little elbow grease, some glue, clamps, a lot of fiber rush the end result turned out wonderfully.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL 🙂

Christmas, Part One

Hello All!

Christmas is coming soon and no where is that more evident than in retail.  I have been filling my booth with Christmas Goodies and Cheer for all those early Christmas Shoppers.

The adorable vintage handmade Christmas Elves (pictured above) are one of my favorite finds.  They look great hanging from the Christmas Tree in my booth.

I have been on the lookout for a vintage ceramic Christmas tree all year!  About a month ago I finally found one buried at an Estate Sale.  Made me SOoo HAPPY. 🙂

This ceramic tree is not quite two feet tall and is missing a couple of lights, and music box.  The tree itself is in great shape.

I also have a great set of Shabby, Weathered Christmas Lawn Signs.  They include three Elf Scenes and one Large Santa Claus Cutout!

More Christmas coming soon.

Happy November and way too early Christmas!

Table of Many Parts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This small table was created from four other pieces of furniture!

Picking up pieces of furniture left on the side of the road, tends to yield many useful parts.  The found pieces are usually trashed or have been rained on.  If the piece as a whole is in bad condition I always try to look at it as the sum of its parts.  This particular table is made from two chairs (the legs), a coffee table (aprons), and a headboard (the top); all of which were unusable as they were.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of these pieces assembled, with a little paint and polyurethane, made a uniquely adorable side table!

I rearranged my booth…again.

I spent some time today, completely shaking up the layout of my booth. I must say, I am really happy with how it turned out. 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Booth Update

I have rearranged my booth and added some new items. My favorite new item is a former clock case that we converted into a unique curio cabinet. 🙂 In addition there is a vintage Spalding tennis racket, two blue ball jars (half gallon & quart), four painted white wood pillars/legs, set of club shaped gelatin molds, a California Fig Syrup bottle, painted drawer, and muffin pan.

NEW ITEMS

The following are new pictures of my booth, which is located in Aunt Maude’s Attic 519 N. Austin St Seguin, TX 78155. BEST WISHES ❤

Drop Leaf Table

AFTER

BEFORE

This lovely drop leaf table was hidden under four layers of paint, with a very thick and sticky coating of wax.  A little scrubbing, a little paint stripping and this table emerged!  The legs and base are a pale green while the top is a stained pine.  It turned out better than I hoped. 🙂
