Old Doors

So I bought old doors. 

Heavy old doors. 

The blue one has six intact window panes in it.

They are heading to our booths. 

One day. 

When my shoulder recovers from lifting pine trees:}

By the time you read this Joe and I will be on the road. 

I will tell you our destination later.

Mantle: Rescued

 Hello Friends

I had seen this mantle a while ago.

 I recently decided it could be rescued.

 One leg of it was shorter than the other. 

Some well meaning person had added a board to it. 

Joe removed the board and trimmed the other side.

It is old and has hand forged square nails in it. 

 It has to lean because I am not willing to move the French coat of arms

 or put nails in the stone of the fireplace. Yikes y'all I need to dust.

I added couple of other chippy items under it. 

Yes, the cactus is blooming now. 

In Olive Out news I have been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder. 

I am busily engaged with Physical Therapy biweekly. Joe and I are still cleaning up after the ice storm. The FEMA guys did arrive last week and picked up our curb limbs and cut trees. I unfortunately have lifted too many tree limbs since the storm.

Broome Closet Booths At Ridge Antiques

Hey ya'll.

How are you doing on this cold Monday?

 I realize many of you are hunkered down in snow, ice, and cold that I cannot imagine. 

I pray you are safe and warm.

Since I last showed you our Broome Closet Booths we have acquired a third booth. 

We are busy. And blessed.

Lots of images to follow. 

If you stay with me you are a peach.

Beth painted this French Country coffee table. 

I love it.

Our back booth is chock full of vintage mirrors. 

You know I must have some cloches.

My back is aching from moving this large old dining table last Saturday.

 I feel like I have been moving furniture for days. 

That's because I have been moving furniture for days:}

Please  come see us any time Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Monday.

Chippy is Best

 The age of this chalk ware bird is not known but it certainly is chippy. 

Chippy in the best way.

Under the chippy oval frame the bird is right at home.

Have I shared this thrifted oil painting? 

We picked it up from a beauty shop that was closing.

The shade on this lamp is best seen in the shadows.

The fur kids and I are staying warm by the fire.

 Hope all of you are warm and well.

Happy Weekend

Ridge Antiques Open House

Open House in Ridge Spring, South Carolina, last Sunday, was a wonderful success. 

The street was full of people. 

The town markets the event well. 

 Ridge Antiques, where our two booths are, was busy.

We had a wide assortment of food and wine.

Chocolate wine too. 

The Talented B serves it every year.

Warning: Many images to follow

 This rusty sleigh of mine sold right away.

Mary Ann's cabinet is the center of the first room and is not for sale I am sad to say.

The primitive farm table the food is on had been sold. 

Mary Ann convinced the young couple to leave it on hold until after Open House.

These images are from our window booth.

 I am totally gone over the chippy blue mantel.

Thanks to all who stopped by.

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.

Estate Sale Goods

We saw this massive chippy white cabinet at an estate sale on July Fourth in Wrens, Georgia. We arrived about thirty minutes after the start of the sale and it was already sold. I was sick about it.

 It has shelves inside and you can see the lovely patina. The price was good too. I apologize for the dark images but every day is a rainy day in Georgia.

This was a pretty bamboo chair.

The old wicker set is certainly charming. It has some damage but I think I could live with these pieces easily.

The chenille spread had many stains which OxyClean could have handled but I passed on this beauty too.

What did we buy? A sofa for our den. Nothing terribly exciting. Also in the worst room possible to photograph. I will post it later. When my house is clean. When the moon is full on an odd Thursday.
