Vintage Birdcage

Hello Friends!

In this world of chippy, shabby, tattered and rusty......

this old birdcage is one of the BEST! Everything from the old blue/ gray distressed paint....

to it's adorable little porcelain knob.....

made my heart skip a beat!

A perfect addition to your farmhouse decor.

Now available in my etsy shop!

Memory Lane...........

I went stolling thru some old photos in the computer today and snagged a few to show as some of my favorites from the past! All these great pieces have since found homes and well......I miss um all just a bit!This stand was super hard to let go but you can't pass up an insane off from someone who reallllllly wanted it bad! I'll probably never find another!
signs....always cool in there unique one of a kind way...

this sign is in a fish camp over the salad bar!

CHIPPY TO THE MAX! The blue on this one was killer....

The sterilizer lasted like 2 minutes in the booth. I should have known better...I still have a a perfect spot for it in my master bathroom.

Have a great day!!

Shabby bargains!

Care to guess how much the total was for everything in this photo? I'll break it down for you:

*Chippy wicker chair

*April Cornell Tote Bag

*Chippy metal trowel

*Chippy metal claw

If I would have given them 10 dollars......

I would have gotten half of that back!

Cha-Ching!!

Have a great weekend!

My favorite Hoosier ever!

I recently came across this old Hoosier style cupboard at a flea market last month.

I immediatly fell in love with the crackly old gray/white finish......She has all her own original stuff...metal bread drawer, flour bin and sifter, roll top works, old hardware, porcelain top, metal tray inside .....but my MOST favorite part of all.......
has got to be this........flour still on the sifer knob. The stories this cupboard could tell!

How many times has this door been opened and closed to make something yummy?
She now sits in my shop for sale~flour-y knob and all!
Please go take a peek at other wonderful white goodies at Faded Charm!
