Antique Store & Lucketts Finds

One positive thing about rain at an antique market is that you can get great deals.  I bought this scale a Lucketts for 1/3 off the original price, simply because I bought it when it was pouring rain. 
Oh, sweet rusty goodness.  I love scales, but I may put this up for sale on Etsy.  We’ll see.
I also bought this wooden caddy that had a beautiful patina and wear on the wood for $8.00…
A wire bread rack for $10.00 (right as a vendor was packing up)…
A pair of oval ironstone plates for $5.00…
Some deer antlers for $8.00…  I think they provide really interesting texture in a display.
…a blue and white striped bowl for $6.00…
…some ironstone at bargain prices…
…and a pair of doors (originally $90 and I paid $40.)
I love the hardware and wavy glass on these.  I am going to hang them in my dining room, flanking an arched door way.
I found this awesome wood stool for $8.00… 
…and several feedacks, which I paid anywhere from $3-6 per sack.
One of my favorite finds was this hand painted wooden piece that must’ve belonged to a bed at some point.  I think it was $8.00 as well, which is a bargain for a piece like this that will provide some architectural interest. 
I have one more find, but I forgot to get a picture of it before my 1 1/2 year old went to sleep in that room.  Darn it.  I’ll share it tomorrow.  Furniture Feature Friday starts tomorrow at 10 pm EST, so make sure you have those posts ready to link up!  See you there.

  1. GREAT finds! I love the doors…such character. And I totally have a soft spot for feedsacks…just picked one up a couple weekends ago on a "junking" trip! I'm going to frame it and use it in my kitchen.

  2. WOW! you scored some great finds! the antlers in the box had me chuckling- a mom from my daughter's school was talking about how her son found some in their yard and all the moms were so grossed out, and i was the only one saying, "ooh- those would make an awesome decoration on your mantle or something!" they all looked at me like i was nuts!

  3. Oh Girl I have been waiting to see all your goodies you got and WOW!! again you did not disapoint me…what great stuff you came home with…Thanks so much for sharing all of it…you know how I drool over anything vintage or antique with is my far my Biggest passion…Hope your having a GREAT day my friend…Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

  4. You got some great stuff! I love it all. Well, except for the antlers maybe. 🙂
    I am dying to get my hands on some feedsacks. Those look great!
    Love the ironstone too.
    Blessings!

  5. I love the scale. You mentioned that you would maybe sell it on etsy. I am curious how much it would be. It would have to be a good deal in order for me to buy because shipping it might be expensive. Let me know.

  6. Oh my goodness!! What great finds at great prices! Love it all! You must show us a photo when you get those awesome doors hung! I am always looking for feed and grain sacks and never find them!

  7. Wow, you got some really great finds! Those feed sacks are beautiful, and I love the wire tray and wood caddy too — anything that looks cool and works for awesome storage is a #1 in my book!!
    Blessings,
    Stacey

  8. Great finds…

  9. I had thought about going back to Lucketts on Sunday to see if there were any deals because of the rain. Looks like you found some of those deals. If I had seen the feed sacks first I would have grabbed them!

  10. Wouldn't you know it this weekends weather forecast calls for 70's and sunny. If only it would rain on the holy grail of rummage/garage sale weekend! Darn it!

  11. Rusty goodies!It may look like a junk but that is so priceless it pictures the simple living and peacefulness.If antique collecting is the topic you can visit antique kansas city if you want to canvass affordable antique goods.

  12. Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing to understand of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as other people think about worries that they just don’t realize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also outlined out the entire thing without having side-effects , other people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thank you
