When I see hames, especially old rusty ones like these, I feel sorry for whatever work animal had to put up with them. The tag on these hames says, “Hames with chains. Very old. The mule got away … You’ll need to get your own!” They are selling for $45.
Here’s another view from above. The […]
Up soon, I’ll show you the work of a very interesting organic artist. Until then, ponder upon a rusty chicken feeder, won’t you?
I saw this on a recent trip to a local antiques store. I know it’s marketed for a person who has a country-style home, but all I can think of is someone unearthing […]
I took this shot in front of my local antiques store. It qualifies as both reuse and an antique, except that they didn’t have any flowers in it.
Plus, dirt in a sink is just sort of funny, isn’t it?
Sure, this looks OK outside of an antiques store, especially if they add flowers, but I’m guessing […]
I wish I had found this week’s Antique Pick of the Week myself, but it was not to be. However, you can visit Swapatorium to see what I mean.
Part of the text on the back of the mug shot reads:
Stole a Ford Coupe in front of Vaungh - Smiths Drug store
Fixed case out […]
When brushing my teeth, I use an espresso cup to rinse. But I could just as well use a cute juice glass like one of these.
If you’re in a hunt to replace your disposable bathroom cups, then I’d recommend going to an antique store to have a look around. I almost always find cute juice […]
I doubt this is really an antique, but it’s one of those things that turns up in antique or thrift shops.
I thought it was really cute when I first saw it, but after reading the Glorious Gourd Decorating book, it looks kind of sad. It’s selling for $9.98. Or maybe it’s not selling.
Still, the eyes […]
I wish I had more info on this week’s Antique Pick of the Week. It’s a McKinley rice box. I wonder if it could be turned into a roasted nut dispenser or cotton candy machine. Yum.
The tag said:
Rice storage and measuring box $45
Here’s a zoomed-in shot for you. It’s a bit rusty, so maybe it’s […]
This doodad captivated me so much I had to pay another visit with my camera to take its picture. Here’s what the tag says:
Fly Catcher Rare $24
Must-have for country kitchen look
Circa 1900-1920
To use this fly catcher, remove the glass stopper and pour in honey or sugar water. Place where you see flies, and they get […]
One thing I like about antique stores is that they help teach you about the past. Some things may be better left in the past though.
What do you think of Weepy the Wee Wee?
I’ve never heard of this plastic monstrosity. It’s supposed to be a prank — you pull down the shorts and it pees […]
