I Heart Farm Sales

Going out buying wasn't on my "to do" list today; I'm in the midst of cleaning my overstuffed storage area and need to finish.  When I woke up early and saw what a beautiful day it was, I couldn't resist the 45 minute drive to a farm sale...those of you who love to go "junking" understand the siren call of a big sale. This one turned out to be worth the drive.

The farmyard was nestled up against an old cemetery.  That proved to be a fitting location, as the farm itself appeared to be the final resting place for dozens of farm implements and hundreds of other old items. 

The owner of the rusty abundance bounced around answering questions since he "didn't have time to get everything priced"...ya think?

Aside from what was out in the yard, there were numerous outbuildings on the property; a peek inside revealed more waiting for future sales.

I had a lot of fun poking around the property and gathering a pile of shabby primitives to bring back. Here are some snapshots of what you may find in the Gracie's Cottage booth at upcoming shows...enjoy the pictures!
