Happy Thanksgiving From Out of the Past

Thanksgiving is here and I looked for a quote for the occasion. Here are two of many I found and liked:
"Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!” Amanda Bradley
(I think this could expand to friends and family.)
and on the lighter side:
"What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?" Erma Bombeck
So, after Thanksgiving Day, the frenzy really begins. We have many, many unique things that would be just right for that special someone. Come by and see us. You never know what you may find!
Make sure you look down the sidebar. I post at least one new item every week for each dealer at the shop. They have some amazing things!
SHHH! Homemade cabinet with secret compartment - $65

Old camel back (very slight) trunk - $45

Hand Sewn Quilt - $95

Wash Tubs with Stand - $47.50 (perfect for icing down beverages)

Tree Decoration Ideas

How 'bout an Old Milk Top?

Red Balls (still in the box)
Icicles (still in the box)


Lots of folks decorate their trees with cookie cutters - cute idea!
Not for the tree especially, although I guess it could be done, but for those baking projects - old wooden rolling pins. (I have my mother's and have never used anything else.)


Newest project - A friend brought us this table. It is a good size and has a butterfly leaf but the finish was in rough shape. As you can see, Charlie is in the process painting the legs with different layers of color. Anyone recognize this color from the 50's and/or 60's. After he finishes, he'll sand the paint so the layers will show through and then sand and finish the top.

Stay tuned for how it turns out. I know it will be amazing in the end.
