Vintage Sign: Pig's For Sale


Pig's For Sale vintage sign was purchased in Ridge Spring last Saturday. For now it is resting on the deck where my garden tools are kept. I might need to clean it. Or not.


I am looking for a vintage Eggs For Sale sign too.

I almost bought a large Peaches sign at the farm sale but changed my mind. 

Do you like vintage signs?

Do you have vintage signs?

Do tell.

Southern Farm House


The farm house at Magnolia Ridge in Ridge Spring, South Carolina is a splendid southern home with a large barn and several outbuildings.


A double gliding swing is on the front porch. I have not seen many of these.


These gates were for sale. How about that?


One of the outbuildings has red chippy paint.


The barn is large and tall for the South.

Antique Gathering: Magnolia Ridge


The Magnolia Ridge Antique & Art Gathering took place Saturday in Ridge Spring, South Carolina. This pale blue chippy tea kettle planted with impatients could not be sweeter except it was sold already. Every woman who walked into this booth picked it up. 


This area, arranged between the corner of the barn and a plowed field, belonged to a darling couple Jim and Judi Keith {Recycled Treasures} of Modoc, South Carolina. Judi had arranged wonderful and thoughtful vignettes. The remaining images are from their area.




They had many chippy ladders, windows, and columns.


Even a pink ladder. It would be perfect in a bathroom with towels on it y'all.




This turquoise door would make a perfect photography backdrop. The vintage metal flamingo is not bad either. Your yard is incomplete without one ya know.

To see vintage toys from the sale click here. I did not purchase the two toy trucks in yesterday's post. I was occupied with two cameras and that way I buy fewer items.

Vintage Toys


What is better than an old rusty Tonka dump truck? More rusty trucks? We saw quite a few vintage toys yesterday at the Magnolia Ridge Antique & Art Gathering in Ridge Spring, South Carolina. It was held at a working farm and it was a beautiful site for such a gathering{more on it in another post}.


This truck is in excellent shape. Can you see a wee tree lashed to it at Christmas?
 I can.



This chippy pink child's chair was not for sale but was on one of the rear porches of the large farm house.




These are a child's vintage rake and hoe. I had to have them and snapped this image with the price still on them. I was tuckered out. Shopping with my buddy Distressed Donna Down Home is not for wimps. She does not move fast but glides effortlessly to the finish line. Lunch at the famous Juniper's was delicious as always.

 I have another friend who has a booth in a antique store that we love there in town. Suddenly Ridge Spring is one of my favorite places to visit.

I will have more on the farm antique sale, beautiful southern house, and outbuildings in upcoming posts.
