ESTATE SALE FINDS!

Since we opened the Country Flea Market
we don't get away as often as we like,
but today we escaped and lucked out
upon this estate sale. Whoo Hoo..
Lookie what we found..


 I love love love this neat Vintage
desk from the 60's.
I can just see it in a room in a house
that has a great library or reading room.
It would be great for kids to sit at and read
or do art. 
It's For Sale at the Country Flea Market!

Can't you just see this coffee table 
with a Makeover? It's a great size.
Available Now, but not for long.



This metal bucket is huge. I am not
sure exactly what kind of bucket this
is but the person who sold it
cried having to let it go. It was her grandfathers. I know just how she feels, I
don't like to let go of family heirlooms.
I paid her and ran like Hell.
BWWAAKKKK BWAAAAK BWAAK!!

SPRING Fever and Sales!

Last weekend I had a Sale at my place.
It was a beautiful weekend and I had a blast
meeting new friends.
I want to do it again soon and have more
Art and Painted wares.

I still have some nice inventory to add to
the next sale.


I love my little faux porch to decorate and 
display around, plus there are some shade
trees back there. The tent helps but the trees
are better.  I guess it's a real porch, but it's not
attached to anything. I think we might build a
shed off the back of it for future sales.
I sold all those screens you see.



I love having outdoor sales like this when
the weather is good. 

 The table above is an old table we rescued
after a storm damaged it. The pedestal base
got broken.  My dear Roo (dear rooster husband)
crafted a base from old doors
(we have enough old doors to have a Door Store)
and then it got another coat of whitish paint-
I used Behr Flat Enamel.  Then I decided
to embellish the top with some designs from 
clear acrylic stamps..I love those! I didn't 
want anything busy so it's just a hint of
a darker color than the base color.
I used Minwax Paste wax to polish it up.
It looks great.
I am a Table a-holic, NO, a Junk-a-holic!
I have a big ol Pole barn and there are lots of
treasures waiting for their day to be transformed.


 The blue dishes look so pretty on the table.
Just in time for an Easter Dinner Gathering.


 Maybe we will have an outdoor Easter
dinner party this weekend.
Or if You come buy this table, You
can have your own dinner party,
Table, Dishes and all.
