Wooden slatted shutters


A pair of white slatted shutters. These would make great shelves, or they would be great for a crafting project or to just display something. Nice chippy paint for that old look we all love!

Child's ironing board

Older ironing board is small for a great little display! (Shown sitting on top is a sleeve board, which is not attached!)

Deb's handiwork


After her open house, Deb of Rustic Country Handcrafts brought by some of her beautiful pieces. This is just one of the many fine items she has for sale. A beautiful hand made table runner with a snowman and the words Winter Blessings. Has small jingle bells attached along the sides!

Heavy wooden box with lid



I bought this heavy old box up at an auction in Laconia. Nice dove tail
joints on
corners.
Very rugged!
Grayish
green finish.

Interesting dog sled


Neat wooden dog sled has slatted seat, and metal runners. The seat back has a pin in it. When you remove the pin, the seat folds down so the whole sled is flat for storage. This is the time of the year to display this piece!

Great Bear Spring Company water bottle




Cool water bottle with cap showing the trademark bear for Great Bear Spring Company. Front of bottle has embossed bear on glass.

juggling pin with hand painted Santa


Somehow this juggling pin ended up in my store. It had originally been painted with an Uncle Sam. I thought it would be much better to turn Uncle Sam into Santa! My friend Deb helped me transform him into Santa. We are lucky it looks anything like Santa because I think we drank half a large bottle of wine while we were painting!

Large aluminum scoop


This is the biggest scoop I have had. It looks like it would hold a five pound bag of flour!

Hand crank yarn winder

Hand cranked primitive yarn winder. Early construction is hand pegged with wood. I have seen a lot of these, but usually the stand is missing.

Aspen the brown nosed reindeer!


I don't usually like to see dogs in costumes, but I found these reindeer antlers while unpacking Christmas decorations. Unfortunately for Aspen, he was in the room at the time, and they matched his fur color so perfectly! He only had to wear them long enough to take a quick picture!

Tin cake box


Tin cake tin with graphics still showing through the chipped paint. Has it's lid too!
SOLD!
