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!
