shopping trip finds

 A quick stop at the Luckett's store (well, if YOU saw these huge letters out front, you'd want to stop too, am I right?).

 The first pic from the barn sale at Buckeystown, MD.The Washington Post article on our local barn sales. This was also featured later in Southern Living.

 note the iron platform for a shoe atop the little box.

 old window.  crown stenciled/hand painted.

 This is why I really came -- to get one of these "game wheels" (that's what I'm calling them).  Alas, it was NOT to be.  The prices were a little too steep for my budget.   Oh well, a girl can dream can't she?

 Love the color and the numbers on this one.

 Cool shopping cart.  It's THESE type of things I see that make me take a minute to try and visualize life in the 40's or 50's... going through the grocery store (much smaller back then I'm imagining).  There's not even a place to put your child.  What did people do with their babies back then?  We didn't have the logical papoose! ;o)

 If I had a mudroom, this cubby with bench would've sooooo gone home with me.  It was a great price too.

 Industrial cart.  Lovely shade of brick red.

 Easy peasy felt pillows.

 Salvaged from an old plane?

 Propeller... nice bookend.

 I have loads of old wood from the platforms and the samples from the home interior business.

 crates. 

 LOVED, LOVED, LOVED these letters.  You know how I love the letters.

 Salvaged.

 see the basket at the bottom.  I thought I could cut the sample fabric into strips, braid them and then ball them up ... maybe old tshirts??

covered books.
