No. 44: WINTER PICKS

On this smokin’ hot mid March day (what’s going on with the weather?!?) I thought I'd head out to the barn and take a little stock of the Winter’s scrounging finds from Ontario to West Virginia. Huh, I found some ok stuff.

No. 43: IT’S ALWAYS JANUARY IN RED OAK, IOWA

I just scored this amazing collection (20 in all) of beautiful vintage calendar posters. As far as I can tell they were likely specialty promo mailers made by the Ad calendar company. These posters are huge (30" x 41") and printed on thick textured stock. They're mostly illustrated with tip-on calendars.

No. 42: THE BAND

No. 41: FOG AND FROST

I woke this morning to an astounding white fog and heavy frost and went traipsing through the ten acres.

No. 40: AUTUMN BARN SALE: DONE LIKE DINNER

I restored this awesome old field table which is on its way to Toronto.

Another original piece. Reclaimed steel frame fitted with a heavy slab pine top.

An original piece. Reclaimed industrial steel frame on castors re-imagined as a serving cart which I fitted with a mix of reclaimed wood, hardwoods and spruce. This one went back to Toronto too.

No. 39: AUTUMN BARN SALE

Update: A new pic.

We're having another big barn sale! Much like the leaves outside great stuff just keeps on piling up in the barn and we need to make room for the snow blower and tractor in there!

Of the tons of items in the sale that aren't shown below, highlights include salvaged and reclaimed furniture, a pair of beautiful old 9 pane french doors with original hardware, an industrial steel and wood serving cart, harvest tables, factory carts, 50's Neilson's schoolhouse maps, Playboy jigsaw puzzle, vintage honey pails, and a red vintage park bench.

This barn sale coincides with the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair so make a great day of it!

AUTUMN BARN SALE

Been searching for that hard to find stuffed lynx head? No problem, we have you covered.

This is a detail from the mother of all maps. Don't let the wear fool you.

A detail from half of an old market billboard. We sold the other half at the last barn sale.

Badges in spades! School, sports, Girl Guides, etc., etc., etc.

All these items are sitting upon an incredible old work bench table equipped with a big industrial vice. It'd make a one-of-a-kind kitchen island.
