White Wednesday Rustic Fun

 Here are my fun White Wednesday treasures.

An old lumber yard apron....

Thought maybe fun with straw and a pumpkin in it.

(thinking Fall girls)

 This is a really cool folding mason's yardstick.

One side is regular inches..

 the other for spacing masonry. cool huh?

 Do you think this is  a razor?

It looks like it but I cannot figure out how blade was attached.
Very old.

 Just got this perfectly shabby, rusty, white cage.

click to see cool doors.

 This is a (sideways) Dentist Lab appointment calender

from 1960.

 

This is one of 38 license plates I bought in a big box.

They have the lights brackets to attach to your car too.

A great way to display them.

 

and this is just a little wire basket that had some kind

of pots with candles in them. I ditched the candles,

and will use the baskets for something else.

Any ideas???
 They are about 4x8" with 2 round rings where candles sat.

All for today.

Have been finding awesome treasures for the store...

just not any more white ones....

White Wednesdays...Rusty Whites....

 Shopped at our own Vintage Marketplace Sale on Saturday.

Our vendors brought some wonderful treasures......

Like this old metal piece above..

Gotta love that Fleur d' Lis.

And if you love rusty metal...

 here is a cast iron

 

stove grate...

  

Love it and it weighs a ton!

 Here is a cute little garden cart....small.

Can you see the black metal wheel and tires?

 Here is a sweet little display.

I'm joining White Wednesday hosted by Kathleen.

White Wednesday: Shabby, Rusty, and Soft

What is it?????

another part...

and more.....

 

wonderful old shabby white scale.

new white chair

and table...

Shabby New Store

You are going to LOVE this new store we found,
while on vacation in Redmond, Oregon.
These are of pictures
"The Back Porch & Company".
It is located right on main street downtown.
In a 3 block area of town there
are about 6 wonderful stores.


Lisa Goads (on right) and 3 other gals have
put this wonderful shabby store together.
I could have stayed there all day!

family helpers
So, without a lot of talking on my part,
here we go!

Lisa is known for her 'angled' displays.

Please click to enlarge pictures.

Love how she hangs things in the picutre frames.
(sorry for plug ins. This was before she opened and
things were not done yet.)

She has a real knack for vignettes,
and so do the other gals.

See the steamer trunk on the left side of this picutre?
It now has a home in my store!!!

Not pictured is a 'back' room which has
old wood doors for walls and dividers.

Hope you have enjoyed your little tour.

If you have opportunity to get over to Redmond for the day,
it is well worth the trip.

Happy White Wednesday
and thanks to Kathleen for hosting.

Blessings
