A FEW FUN FINDS

Yesterday I mentioned  the antique auction Les and I went to where we bought a car load and more of furniture and a few smaller pieces. I haven't been able to get photos of everything because it's still kind of packed in our garage but here are a few items I was able to pull out to get photos of. I've also included here some photos of treasures picked up at yard sales. I don't want to show you everything! We like to keep some things as surprises!

 

These old  buoys are the real thing, pulled out of the ocean near the Florida Keys.

This is a really neat wood box with wire handle and vintage milk carrier.

Teal colored vintage ladder.

"California" Lazy Susan. Love the colors!

Chippy old stool. I might end up painting this.

Great vintage bench!

Very cool red leather swivel chair. I'll be doing some work on this one also!

Sweet little drop-front desk that I will paint. Below is the inside:

J and P Coates Thread advertising display along with thread.

Isn't this a fun street sign? This is something I picked up a while back  ( not off a street corner ) but wanted to show you. Sorry, this won't be for sale. My daughter and son-in-law have dibs on this. They met at a coffee shop and want it for their kitchen...when they move back from China! Holding onto this sign for them actually gives me hope that they ARE moving back!

There is so much more which I'll share in future posts. But of course there are many more treasures that will be SURPRISES! I'll also be showing you some "before and after" photos of refinished furniture as I complete some projects.The sale isn't until Labor Day weekend but we gather inventory all summer. Well, back to the HUNT!

ITEMS FOR SALE ON CRAIGSLIST

HAPPY MONDAY, EVERYONE!
I was planning on taking some time to "recover" from our last sale and to  organize the items I have left. But there were some great yard sales and Estate sales and I just couldn't resist getting out there again! Could this be an addiction? I have lots of great finds I want to show you but that will have to wait a bit! I still have to get the photos on my computer. And I'll have more time beginning next week because summer starts and we won't be caring for our 4 year old grandson. ; (  We've had so much fun with him during the school year while his Mom taught school! Now we're going to miss him! Thankfully he said we could come and visit him!  ; )

I've decided to put some of my furniture that didn't sell at our last sale on Craigslist. I found a lot of amazing pieces, more than I have had in the past. I sold a lot of the furniture but would like to move more out of my garage and make more space for different pieces. Everything is for local pick-up only. Listed under "antiques" is a vintage sewing cabinet. There is no sewing machine but  the wood is beautiful and there are four drawers.This is for sale for $85.

Also for sale is this P. Buckley Moss print, Opera House, that is matted and framed. It is a rare limited edition print which you can check out on the P. Buckley Moss website. I'm selling this for $50.

                    You'll love this vintage teal colored  chair. It has a wonderful crackled patina on it. Selling for $20. UPDATE: SOLD

                     I purchased this vintage oak desk at an Estate Sale. I'm selling it for $80.
                      UPDATE: SOLD

This vintage coffee table I kept in our "little TV room". The little drawer came in handy for the remote controls.  I found another table to put in there so I'm selling this one for $20. This piece is painted black around the edge and on the legs and stained on top and sides.

Contact me if you're interested and I'll direct you to the Craigslist site where you can get my phone number.

I have a couple more large items that will go on Craigslist as I'm already filling up my Hob Nobber room with NEW projects.  I'll be sharing those here also. And don't forget to stay tuned for my NEW finds which I'll be sharing as soon as I get the photos on the computer.

On Wednesday I'll be sharing how I'm creating my own personal style and how I'm doing it.
