Primitives and More


Happy Monday my friends.

Isn't this a great tower of primitive crates? 
It is in Bob's booth in Ridge Antiques.
He is one of the owners.


I love this beautiful religious piece.
 I have a similar one, at my house, that I cannot let go of.
Yes, I am a terrible seller.


A marvelous urn. 
I think this is Jimmy's.
 It is hard to keep up with all their booths.
 The three of them have a lot of space in these two joined buildings. 
They also have a lot of knowledge about antiques.



Mary Ann has quite the collection of flow blue in this magnificent corner cabinet.



These tear drop knobs are something serious on this chest.


The image is blurry but I love this piece that Mary Ann has in the kitchen area.


Mary Ann has a great flair for primitives.
 All you rooster lovers look at these old rooster dishes. 
She has an enormous set. 
I am eyeing that chippy red toolbox in the center of the farm table.


I hope you enjoyed Jimmy's, Mary Ann's and Bob's booths. 
They own and/or manage Ridge Antiques. 
They are lovely people and I am honored to work with them and Beth.

Ridge Antiques
605 Main St.
Ridge Spring, South Carolina

An easy way to remember how to find us is we are by The Nut House (woot)
 on Highway 23.

CC has written her first blog about South Korea here.
 I have told her to turn off word verification.

    Those are some handsome items, and glad to see that you are By the Nuthouse and not In the Nuthouse. LOL

    I loved everything I saw, but the Metlox dishes are my favorite! Poppy Trail is a favorite of mine. I have part of that set and I love it! Metlox is hard to find down in this part of GA. Guess I need to make a trip to South Carolina! Especially enjoyed these pictures as there is no longer an antique mall here, so sad! I enjoyed browsing through.

    O.M.G. I want those vintage boxes. I have loved and looked for vintage boxes since practically my teens. So many wonderful uses for them.

    Olive,
    That is a great tower of crates. Beautiful booths. I love how the old wood floor's patina sets everything else off.
    CC's profile picture is beautiful.

    The red wood caddy on Mary Ann's table is wonderful. I have an old crate like it my grandfather built for me and I'm trying to decide if I should paint it or not.
    What a nice store!
    Popping over now to read CC's post.

    I love looking at these pretty things and I have a big set of the rooster dishes! They were my everyday wedding china and are called Red Rooster by Poppytrail. They're on a high shelf and haven't been used in years. I must get them down sometime for a fall table.

    I don't know how you manage around all of this temptation! SO many beautiful pieces and I learned about something new...teardrop knobs. I'll bet those are hard to find. I love that red box on the dining table, too.

    I'm off to check out CC's blog. How neat!

    XO,

    What gorgeous vintage goodies! It'd be hard for me to pass up the rooster dishes, even though I would have nowhere to store them. I need a bigger house! ha ha I am going to check CC's blog now. :-)

    Some great pieces in these booths, Olive! I love that big red tote on the table with the rooster plates. I have been doing better at letting things go to my booth. My problem now comes in when I walk around after I drop my stuff off and look at all the things in other people's booths!

    So many pretties!! Those rooster plates are the pattern of my Mother-in-law!! She has been gone for several decades. Wonder what ever happened to her everyday ware? Her daughter doesn't use it and we certainly didn't get it!

    Olive, what a wonderful place to buy treasures!! The rooster plates are my favorite. I read all about your daughter and know it will be a learning experience for all of you. I have 3 children and it is always a challenge to be the perfect parent. I'm still learning too!! Thinking of you and wishing CC the best in her studies away from home. Going now to check out her blog.

    Hugs,
    Jody
