ITALIAN PEASANT PICKER

WHAT A BUSY DAY I HAD; GOT UP EARLY TO HEAD NORTH WISH I COULD HAVE FOUND MORE, BUT CONSIDERING I HIBERNATE THIS TIME OF YEAR....ME & SNOW ARE NOT FRIENDS....AT ALL LOL..ANYHOO I VENTURED OUT. NEXT I'M GOING THROUGH A BARN WITH ARCHITECTURAL DELIGHTS, SO I'VE BEEN TOLD & THEN TO MICHIGAN FOR A SCAVENGE WHEN THE WEATHER BREAKS...IF I CAN WAIT THAT LONG. KEEP CHECKING MY "PICKER" BLOG OFTEN AS I GUESS WON'T BE HIBERNATING WHEN I GET THE CALL. THE ITALIANPEASANT "PICKER"



THESE GREAT ADVERTISING CLOCKS WERE QUITE THE FIND, HUNG ALLREADY IN THE NEW MANCAVE, MIGHT BE FOR SALE ;)



PICKED UP THE BASKET & LONG HOOKED RUNNER BOTH FROM THE 1800'S AT A NICE BIG VICTORIAN FALLING DOWN.



COULDN'T RESIST THESE & THE PRICE WAS RIGHT








SPOTTED THE SILVER OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE & GRABBED THEM BEFORE I LOST TRACK OF THEM.....MORE PLANT MARKERS....THINK SPRING! THEY'RE SILVER
,


COULDN'T GET TO THIS FAST ENOUGH, WHAT'S MY HURRY......DIDN'T WANT TO FORGET WHERE IT WAS.






THIS WAS A GREAT FIND ALSO..... IT'S AT MY DESK ALLREADY





MORE CHANDYS' TO PIMP OUT





NOT REAL FOND OF CHALKWARE, BUT HUBBY LOVES IT......I THINK IT'S GROWING ON ME ESPECIALLY THE CAT :)

You truly have an eye for unique items!!! I always enjoy visiting when you show your finds. I love that old basket. I am a florist and collect old baskets. I have every size of the old flower gathering baskets that were ever made. Need to post them on my blog sometime. Keep up the great picking. Always a pleasure visiting. ~~Sherry~~
