When I first started blogging, my main occupation was a “picker.”
Back then, I attended at least one auction every week, and during the summer months I often went to several each week.
It wasn’t uncommon for me to fill up the back of our pickup truck from just one auction with vintage pieces that I’d bring home to clean up and sell or salvaged junk that I’d repurpose into something new and sell through my online shop.
Things changed a few years ago when our local auction house closed down and I found fewer and fewer auctions to attend.
My workshop is already so full of auctions finds and I was out of space anyway, so it was probably for the best.
Since I maxed out my available storage space, I began focusing attention on my line of Vintage Sign Stencils, which don’t require going to auctions or having lots of storage space.
Occasionally I come across farmhouse kitchen decors that I fall in love with and decide to make them available in my shop.
I’ve just added adorable metal mason jar lids with handles.
I put them on pint jars, but they will fit on any standard mouth canning jar.
Here’s a close-up of the matte black lids.
I also have them available in a glossy red finish.
Both colors are available HERE.
I’m also carrying ticking stripe towels, which I’m in love with.
They are nice and large and have a tab in one corner to hang them.
These are the blue stripe towels.
I also have red stripe towels.
Both colors are available HERE.
One last item I added in my shop is a vintage silver creamer and sugar bowl set.
I love the detail on the handles and little feet.
Since I love patina, I didn’t polish them. But I think they’d be very pretty all shined up with the tarnish removed, too.
These would look adorable as planters for succulents.
With the weather starting to warm up, I’m hoping to find some auctions to attend. So I guess I’d better make room for new finds.
Let me know what you think of the new farmhouse kitchen decors I’ve added in my shop in the comments below, find me on Facebook, & chat with me on Instagram. Thank you so much for stopping by today!!
Vaya con Dios,
Great finds Angie. I love the sugar and creamer with the little legs. Adorable. Happy New Week.
Hugs,
Kris
Thanks Kris – I hope you are having a great week too!
Fun finds, Angie…and I love how you displayed them!
Thanks Linda I love the new shelves in my kitchen – they are so fun to change up the displays on. Have a great week!
I love your new farmhouse items. Keep them coming!

I’m so jealous of you. I love the thrill of the search and celebrate when I find a real treasure. My family says I have so much to “work” on that I will have to live to be 100 to get it all done. But you know how it goes – when I was paying the check today at lunch we started chatting and one of the waitresses asked if I had been to the new thrift shop about 30 miles from where we were. It’s so big it has a food court so you can rest and build up more energy. I have to check it out soon and see if it’s all that fabulous. Anyway, your display is just gorgeous – please continue going to auctions, etc and give us more wonderful ideas. Thank you…
My favorites are the Mason jar lids and the ticking striped towels. All of it is great stuff, though. It is so fun to see the finds you score and to see what you do with them. I hope you find more auctions to go to, just so you can post some more candy for the eyes!
