Farmhouse Finds

Here are some of the "finds" we have discovered so far!  Most are in rough shape...in need re-tiquing!  Check back to see how they turn out.  But for now you'll have to use your imagination :)
This was our practice run at setting up for the upcoming craft fair.  We only have an 8x5 space...tiny!

A really cool old tool chest we found.  Lyn was thinking it would make a great tack box for horse stuff.

Loved these!



Really ugly desk!  Got a great deal though...

Our pile of "Finds"

Ain't that the truth!

Unique galvanized bin

We put these 3 juice bottles into a metal tray and "accidentally" created a great piece that can be used for starting new houseplants from clippings, or can be used as bud-vases.  Makes a unique arrangement.

This mini-terrarium in the background
was a cool yard-sale find

Love this little half table...would be great if it were black! 
 We can fix that!



This shelf was gray when we got it. 
A little crackle and paint made all the difference






The chickens wouldn't pose for the camera

But Mom (Sue) would!


This was our "clean and prep" day before we started
re-tiquing everything.  The craft fair is only 3 weeks away and we have alot of work to do!  Check back to see how it went.  Wish us luck!
