Picking Connecticut

Lots of Fun this Week....I got to go on a pick in Connecticut

Here are some photos

 

I will post the goodies I bring back

Industrial Decor is on Fire Right Now

Industrial Décor is hot right now

I found this fabulous industrial ball 
and now I am trying to decide how to style it.
My imagination is in overdrive
I can pair it with an unlikely object....something opposite like a vase of flowers or add it to a group of items
Any way that I display it.....I absolutely LOVE it!
  

Driftwood Sailboats at Small Holdings Farm

A Whole New Fleet of Driftwood Sailboats

Have Arrived At The Shop

 

They are lovingly made with Long Island Driftwood

and Vintage Fabrics....ticking, cotton duck canvass, etc.

 

Each is one-of-a-kind  -  No two are the same

 

With all this snow, I have had plenty of time on my hands, so I put it to good use with this fleet of new driftwood sailboats!

 We will get some up online in the next few weeks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great Finds This Week

With all this snow and freezing weather

 it is amazing that I managed to come across 

so many great items this week

Here is a sample....

This fabulous antique jelly cupboard with original paint

 that cleaned up rather nicely

This HUGE antique rare metal pulley

This great antique wooden nautical pulley

Silver plate Ice Tea and Sugar Hotel Spoons

This great hand painted potato sign

I was so happy, that I actually was able to forget 

about the ridiculous amount of snow and cold

 we have been getting.....for a little while...anyway

Valentines Day Fun with Flags

Fun and Easy Flags for Valentines Day

These are made with vintage fabric

I alternated red and white ticking with cotton duck canvass 

I cut out the triangles and then folded the tops

over some twine and glued down the fold

 with a hot glue gun

The Hearts were painted on with fabric paint and I used

a heart shaped cookie cutter as my stencil

Then I got Crazy  I mean Creative

100 Year Old Original Paint Doors

We have acquired some original paint 100 year old doors

They are increasingly hard to find and are great for making farm tables
 or using as Folk Art Décor by leaning them against a wall  

 

 

A little cleaning and then a coat of poly

preserves the layers of chippy paint

 

 All the different colors add depth and interest

 

 

We also have some fabulous louver doors 

and of course all the doors are can be used for regular installation!
