Check out the beautiful, big rusty gear used as the base.
This one was unpainted, so I painted and distressed it, then added a really pretty metal clip.
This fluted pan has such pretty patina.
I picked a similarly aged pie tin for the bottom.
My husband found this set of square enamelware pans in a thrift store. I didn’t plan on turning them into a tired stand but he really wanted to do it. I keep selling the tiered stands he uses for his K-cups, so I think he hopes this one won’t sell so he can keep it.
These are a really pretty gray and the top one includes the lid.
A pretty splattered enamelware bowl paired with an enamelware pie plate.
I had one more enamelware pie plate, so I turned it into a pedestal stand.
This one was made from 2 angel food pans and a large cake pan. The spindles came from an antique corner shelf stand.
As soon as I finish photographing them, I’ll show you some of the things I’m keeping for myself that I bought at the auction. I don’t swoon easily, but the things I’m keeping definitely are swoon-worthy! I have a few more things from the auction to add to the shop, once I get them cleaned up and photographed.
Blessings,
Angie

I was raised in the Midwest, and yes, it is a fabulous source for antiques and used good with all it’s auctions! I miss them.
I love your mail holder. I have one exactly like yours.
I do like your tiered stands-very unique.
I swoon over all your stuff! I do like a good auction, and I’m guessing you’re glad you went. Can’t wait to see all your other creations!
You always find and have the most amazing pieces. I have not hit an auction in years and it used to be a weekly thing for me. I will have to start watching the ads again and start enjoying them once again.
I love all your amazing treasures! The corn dryer is my favorite…who knew there was such a thing??
Angie – I enjoy your blog and your creations so much! I’m waiting to see more of the guest room. We are in the process of building one ourselves and am looking forward to seeing the creative ways you complete yours!!!

You do such nice work…I love the way you put things together!!! I think I need to go to an auction…although here in the Northwest we don’t have so many old barns to rummage threw. 🙂 You are lucky!

What an auction that was! You sure do find the best junk and I love what you’ve done with everything.
You haven’t made a tiered stand that I didn’t love, these are all great. But I can’t believe you let the locker baskets go.
I am in love with the tiered stands but I think the white enamel pan ones are still my favorite. I guess they are hard to find since I don’t see another one posted here. I love auctions and I do love to bid but I don’t mind the hauling either. I don’t like to see my wife carrying anything remotely heavy. I guess it’s a man thing!
Angie … I just don’t know how you do it !!! You just keep on amazing us with your creative ideas. That’s a lot of work and you seem to get so much done in so little time. Need to find your secret.

Ooh … so many interesting things here! I like the gear on the boot jack. Your posts are always so fun to get. Thanks.
Boy I sure want to come to that auction! I’ve never been to one and it sounds like fun Angie! You have some great creations and finds in that shop of yours. I also created a tiered fluted dish and it sold in a second at our craft fair… I almost wish it didn’t I wanted to keep it. Your treasures are amazing!
