I'm joining Thrifty Tuesday

Country Sale Whites

I showed you this picture yesterday, of some
of my finds at the Huge Country Sale
with all the piles and piles of things to dig through.

Well here are some close ups of some my white finds.

There were two of these lamps.
Looked like they were made of cement, but plaster we think.
They will be great as table bases.

Is that perfectly oldish, or what??

and here is a.......? what?
Not sure, but those metal parts must be good for hanging...
something? Any ideas??
I'll take off the weathered chipboard back.
(looks cool here, but really broken up.)

I got this baby buggy at another little store while we were out.

Yeah. It's falling apart, at least the basket part of it.
I got another buggy a couple of weeks ago too.
Basket also falling apart on it.

So, here is the wheel on this one....

and the wheel on the other one.
All 8 wheels are perfectly cool like this.
The frames are great too.
I'm thinking of just taking the wheels off and
selling them for wall decor.
But what about those great frames???

any ideas???
More white next week.....
and at Kathleen's Faded Charm where you can see
all kinds of white!!
Thanks for hosting Kathleen.
And thank you all for coming by.

Shopping in the Country

Do you like shopping in the country??
Sometimes you follow signs for miles before you finally get there.
And you never know hat you will find.

Today we drove miles to a "HUGE" sale.
And it was huge!!! And messy. And hot!

I can't tell you how many piles just like these we saw.
They just seemed to keep going.... and going.....

and going.

But, we persevered and looked and looked and
did find some treasures.

Like these ever so pale pink, shabby, peely, rusty rails!!
And the old cart rims, so perfectly rusty.

Here are some other treasures we found.
(already had grinding wheel).
See those old lamps? They will be perfect table bases.
(hoping someone else will buy them and make them.) =)
Wrought iron plant stands, stool, bird cage,
wire thingies, and huge old dust pan.......

and this so cool table base!!!
(hoping someone else will make the top for this too.) =0)

Will show closeups on white Wednesday.

Happy Monday everyone
