Treasure hunting ... special Finds for the Holidays

  Torn rag garland ...
 
      
all 10-plus YARDS of it ... yes, yards ... and yards ... 
all wrapped around this grapevine wreath ... 
yes, wrapped around and around ... not just on the front!

AND ... there are red, green and gold beads every so often.


 
Pieces are tied around a 3/8" rope. 
My daughter will wrap her Christmas tree with it. 
Oh, yes ... it was marked $3.00, but was half-price
 Can you imagine how long it took to make this?

 


Mandeville & King Co. counter top seed display box.
Interesting ... wish the flower seeds packs had been with it. 
$4.00 at an Estate Sale
value ... about $50.00 ... with seeds, about $200.00
(minor crack on lid ... easy fix)



Love the time-worn patina on this old masher. Great to add to my collection. $9.00 ... a little more than I usually pay, but the awesome handle got me.

I do not have a handmade wooden dipper so just could not pass this one up. Looks like it has dipped up a lot of beans. 
$2.00


vintage Cobbler's bench/stand ... $18.00
Seems rather small for a Cobbler to work on, but ...it looks used.
I think it is a great item and I will display it with some of my Cobbler shoe forms and other wooden ware.

beautiful Pheasant feather wreath.
$12.99 at Goodwill 
Minor repair the the Pheasant wing ... 
... easy fix with petal tips from a pine cone.
...added to our daughter's Pheasant Fall decoration.

Do you think I am using my daughter as an excuse to buy ???

Happy Treasure hunting.

  1. You do find the best old old old. Great wooden handmade dipper and cobblers bench (child sized?) and that masher with its great grip fit and colour, who could resist. Who would have guessed that there was 10 feet of fabric stripes on that wreath - wow.

  2. There is always an excuse to buy, Audrey. The cobbler bench is for the elves! LOVE the seed display box - you really stole that. The garland will look great on the tree and I am sure whoever took the time to make it will thank you.

  6. Wow...these are wonderful finds, Audrey! I am in LOVE with the torn rag garland! If we still had our rustic cabin, I would SO borrow that idea and make some myself! I made some pillows from shredded rags...the tops were actually woven together like the way we used to make the old potholders and the then fringes were left at the edges. All are really cool finds!
