New Dealers!!

We would like to welcome our newest dealers, Jeanette, Sabrina and Cheryl!!  These ladies sure know how to bring in the fun stuff!

Jeanette recently brought in this chicken nesting unit that she found while camping in Washington state.  Though it is sold, it is still in her space and full of all kinds of fun vintage goodies.

This is her space from the isle view.  As you can see, she loves vintage linens, old crates, suitcases and lamps.  She is constantly bringing in new treasures so be sure to stop by often to check out her newest finds.

Sabrina and Cheryl are just up the isle from Jeanette.  They offer primitive furniture, romantic cottage style and French decor.  Lots of rusty finds, wire baskets, lovely art and silver plate pieces.  These photos were taken when they were first setting up their booth, however now it is full of beautiful things…

 

…like this wonderful feeding bucket with a cow on the front. 

The store looks amazing!  Be sure to pay us a visit and see what our dealers have “picked” this week.  There is something for everyone!!

What Is It?

Besides being a really interesting display cabinet, this wonderfully aged “Conservo” contraption is an antique canning device (steamer) that was used by the upper crust during the Depression era.  Barbara (dealer ID B26) has this super cool piece for sale in her space right now.  Because there are shelves on the inside, this would be a cute display cabinet.  Turn into a mini bar to hold small cocktail accessories – such as glasses and small bottles of your favorite tasty beverage OR it would be a neat desk topper to hold computer paper and all of the things on a desk top that just need to be hidden away.

If you aren’t sure where to locate this fabulous piece, just ask one of us to direct you to Barbara’s booth. 

What’s In The Shop?

A lot of wonderful merchandise has been brought in this week that is garden and summer related.  Cheryl (dealer ID 0CAH) has two wonderful old church benches (below) and a cool shabby old birdcage and stand, as well as some other lovely pieces…

 

 …like this sweet vintage built-in piece with a mirrored back.  Cheryl has beautiful items for sale with a good mixture of items, from Transferware, wicker covered bottles, tole trays, galvanized pieces and glassware.  Cheryl not only finds wonderful things to sell, but she also displays them beautifully.  Often times customers will like her vignettes so much, they will buy everything in that particular grouping.

 

Cheryl has other garden related items, like this cute book and old flower frogs. 

 

 

Becky (dealer ID 0016) has this wonderful metal corner shelf available…

 

 

 …and little farm related items, like the cute My Happy Book On The Farm and the little red toy tractor.

 

 

Barbara (dealer ID B26) brought in this fabulous wood magazine holder with a fun and funky vibe.  It would be great to hang up in a bathroom, a studio or even on a wall near your favorite chair.

 

 We have two Becky’s, so not to confuse you too much, Becky R. and Becky L.  Both gals are next door neighbors in the store and offer cottage style, shabby chic and farmhouse style items.

This sweet magazine holder is in Becky L.’s space (dealer ID 0055, aka Happy Thoughts) and it has that wonderful crackled patina with the sweet decal of cottage style flowers.

Also in her space are some very sweet oil paintings.  The portrait of the girl is signed with the name EAMES.

She is just gorgeous!

 

The painting below is precious, too.  It would be perfect for a little boy’s room with a nautical theme or even in a beach home.  The colors are bright and the details in the painting are wonderful.

 

Becky L.  has this sweet hand painted piece of an inquisitive child in a garden.  The colors are soft and muted and just lovely.

 

Many of our dealers are having July 4th sales this week.  This coming Saturday is our monthly Flea Market out back, too.  If you are in the area, be sure to come by!  We have 40+ tables with a wide range of items for sale.  You won’t find tube socks or knock-off purses here either.

Happy 4th to our friends and customers!!!!

Cool Banana Box For Sale!

This super cool and funky old Banana box is one of Tracy’s (dealer ID 0089) newest additions to his space! 

Old metal strapping along the edge, a metal handle and a rustic look makes this piece a must have for that added extra special pop of interest in your home.

It is great to hold all kinds of different things from books, rolled up blankets, magazines, beach towels, toilet paper….or just leave empty and display up on a shelf.

This unusual piece won’t last long and is priced to move at under $80.00.

A Shoe In

 

Several of our dealers have quite a variety of shoes and shoe forms available to our customers.  The tiny child’s tap shoes are a new arrival and available in Cheryl’s space (dealer ID OCAH).   Below is a wood shoe form available in her space, too.  There is a little bit of leather left on the wood to make for a great look.

 

Trudy, who offers a vast variety of Dutch items, has these cute wooden shoes from Holland in her space,

 

as well as these solid wood ones.  Old clogs make great vessels to plant flowers in.  These wooden ones would be adorable with red begonias.

(dealer ID #31).

 

Cheryl actually has two pair of child’s tap shoes (below)…

 

…another vintage shoe form…

 

…and these wonderful souvenir clogs from France.

 

Old shoes are great to incorporate into a vintage display on a shelf or even in a child’s room. 

 

Trudy has this adorable I LOVE PARIS figurine in her space right now.  Wouldn’t he be cute with the French clogs?  There is a little collection to start right there!

 

 

On The Ranch Treasures

Being located in the Central Valley of California allows plenty of pickins’ for cowboy, ranch and farm related items to have on hand to offer our customers.

Oakdale, California (which is located about 30 minutes from our store) is known as “The Cowboy Capital” of the world. 

A little walk around the shop, and several photos later, we captured a little bit of what is on hand at the moment for ranch and farm related items.

Below is a wonderful cow weather vane that Dorothy and Nadine have in their space.  Check out the chair above all decked out with western fabric.

 

 As soon as you enter the store, you will see a display of horse and cowboy items, like the 1930’s framed horse print and cool horse lampshade and lamp.

  These toy tractors would be cute in a child’s room done up in a ranch theme.  Or if you need a fun piece to serve up a chilled beverage, try one of these vintage milk bottles.  There are plenty to choose from and most are from dairies located in the Central Valley.

  Dennis, our store manager, has this super cool western restaurant plate made by Tepco. 

 

A cute Amish salt and pepper shaker set, red tractor toy and little goat bell would be a darling farmhouse vignette.

 

There are several horse related old books around the shop.  Above is a fun pair of ceramic horse bookends (rt) and on the left, a pair of cast iron horseshoe bookends. 

 

Next time we will share a super fun piece that Barbara has in her space – and a little history lesson to go along with it, too.
