First Occasional Shop Weekend of the Year

Our first occasional shop opening started today, and runs through tomorrow. Why am I just now posting pics here on my blog? Because my laptop crashed yesterday. OH NO!!!! Here's hoping I can save it, but I haven't had time to try yet. 

Anywho, I was a little nervous about today. 

Would our customers come back? Or would they have moved on since we haven't been open since last December?

They came back!! Thank you! We appreciate you all so very much!

Here's a few pics from around the shop. A sampling if you will.

The wringer washer stand is still available. 

It's a 3 piece set; the stand and the two tubs. 

We pieced this together - we had sewing treadle legs with no top. 

We had a top with no legs.

Sweet union!

2 old bikes. A hand push cultivator plow. 

Can you say yard ornaments?

Speaking of yard ornaments! 

This old box fit perfectly on the rusty metal stand. It sold quickly after we opened. 

All through the day, more folks came in asking for it.

It's humble look was quite popular!

This sweet little dresser also sold quickly, as did the barrel and the box.

The wash tub on a stand is still available.

Perfect for flowers, or for ice and some cold drinks.

The black hutch also sold quickly, but a smaller one is still available...

Love it's 2 tone look! 

I'm blaming the cut off pic of the this cupboard on my computer problems.

I apparently downloaded the wrong pic.

Since my laptop crashed, I'm working on our desktop computer which is

SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW as molasses.

So, it is what it is at this point.

But trust me, the cupboard does indeed have a top.

Take me home, country roads!!!

What do you do with an old lawn roller? 

Take the roller part off, and turn the handle into a quilt rack! 

We added the mirror to the desk to make a vanity. 

And the woods matched perfectly! 

Yay!

The hen and her baby were a weather vane with a broken bottom. 

No problem!

We cut the broken part off, and mounted them on a couple pieces of wood.

They walked out the door right after we opened. 

So to speak.

Nice quilts for those chilly spring nights!

As I am posting these, every photo looks blurry.
Maybe because I took them from my Facebook page, instead of from the phone.
This whole laptop being down thing is really messing with my posting skills.

Wish me luck in trying to save it.

And if you can, stop in and see us tomorrow!
We would love to see you!

2019 Schedule

The best laid plans.......

Ha!

We had planned to close for the winter, hit the auctions hard, and open back up in March.

What we didn't take into account though is that auctions in the winter are far and few between. And the few there were didn't have the cool old stuff we fill the shop with.

Ok then, on to

We have a good start on bringing in more of the cool old stuff.

And we have been busy creating and upcycling. 

(The word upcycling makes me giggle)

We are carrying very little over from last year, so we have a lot of space to fill. 

We feel confident we can do that by April.

So, (drum roll please), our 2019 schedule:




We hope to see you on as many of these weekends as you can come!
We are looking forward to year 2 as an occasional shop.
And we promise to make it worth the wait.
