Winter is our slow season so im sorry the posts have been lacking!

In the spring, summer, and fall we are always out at flea markets, yard sales, and antique sales but once it gets colder they tend to die down.

Dont forget to check out our shop periodically though, We still have new items that we post!

At some point, Ill be posting more decoys!

Here is one Ill be putting up! This one has such an old wooden body, its so original!

Rustic Centerpiece!

Sometimes, all you need are a few simple things to make a great centerpiece or decor for your home!

We came across an old wooden tray at a flea market today.  Add in some deer antlers, some dried lavender tied in paper and a mason jar with a flower and we have a perfect centerpiece for our home!


Thanksgiving is coming up! Need any centerpiece or home decor items? Email us some of the random items you have laying around your house, what your "style"is, and we'll give you some good ideas!

Children's Blocks

We've been getting a lot of people that like our children's blocks on our shop!  We have a set of smaller blocks and also a set of larger sized blocks too! 

Blocks are great for decorating or making a statement! I especially love them in baby nurseries!

Custom Home Designs!

Other than buying and selling antiques, we love to make custom things out of salvaged items!
Buck season is coming up and it made me think of this awesome design I made for a clients mantle!
It was so fun to make and turned out looking great in their rustic style home!

Found this leather box today. Its almost like a mini- suitcase. It has great character! We aren't too sure what it was used for but it would be great to use as a pocketbook, decor, storage, or anything you can think of!!

Like it? You can purchase it on our Shop!

Vintage Children Items!

Can you imagine getting pushed in a creaky metal stroller like this? Some people still remember, I know you're out there!   This Taylor Tot Stroller was "hip" in the 1940s and 1950s. It is still in a wonderful condition for the age and has such a great vintage look!


We also found a vintage Kiddie Kar Tricycle! This also has such a great look and is in a good condition for its age!

Today we came across some great leather! We have an old leather case to put over the shoulder and a leather shell holder! We've seen leather bags before but never a leather shell holder, it is such a unique find! If you are interested in either antique leather item, contact us!
