Hi all - as promised, here are the photographic highlights of my yard saling weekend. But first a little story: I got to play American Pickers! I asked a particularly friendly seller if she had any other garden or yard items and she happily toured me around her backyard treasure trove. Bliss! Everything was for sale and everything was a bargain! Moral of the Story: Never be afraid to ask!
So here comes the good stuff:
 |
| Old Pepsi soda crate, stamped with the local distributor - $10 |
 |
| Seven Up, Bakersfield soda crate. $10 |
 |
| Vintage grocery/feed scale - $20 |
 |
| Sorry about the rotation issue--I'm still figuring this out. Barn-found birdcage - $1 Chandelier? |
 |
| Just a chair. Repaint, re-seat and use as a plant stand - $2 |
 |
| Unusual vintage radio cabinet according to seller. It will make a great little storage trunk or side table - $5 |
 |
| Why didn't I think of this? Old brake drum as planter. Very rustic, very heavy - no one will steal this off your porch. - $2 |
 |
| Funny little metal tray embossed with a spinning wheel - $2 |
 |
| Sweet little bird figures - free! |
 |
| Vintage linen apron with embroidery - $2 | |
|
 |
| Rotation issue again - sorry. But, I finally got m chipper-shredder - $15 |
 |
| Rotation - this was apparently placed over dishes of food and water for domestic chickens, pigeons, etc. The birds could stick their heads through to eat, but couldn't get in and wallow around in their food. I wonder if they make these in 7-year-old boy size? Got 3 for $1 each. Anthropologie bird cage chandelier?? |
 |
| Nirvana - metal clam shell motel patio chair in better than average shape - $10. |
Hope you had a great weekend at the sales. If you did, post your favorite finds. I'd love to see them and, who knows, maybe we could start a trading group!
