More Odds and Ends to List

More Stuff from the Cupboards

I keep emptying cupboards, goodness, what cute things I am finding! Here are a few more odds and ends up for sale soon.

A Little Romance

I cleaned out another Clarinda cupboard, saved half for the new house, the other half for sale--decided to let go of my wedding cake topper collection, they are so sweet! I also finally have enough tiny ironstone pitchers for my little kitchen display, so have a few to sell. The stained pitcher up top is a larger size, but isn't the staining all prim and gorgeous? The 1940s lady head vase is so pretty with apple blossoms.

A Splurge Just for Me

It was the Collectors Eye antique show this weekend, where I always find the best early wares. These, I bought for me, a little tin head doll with the best early blue calico dress (and I LOVE that her hands are blue calico), and a little tin horse chocolate mold. I figured they were small for the move ahead! In the meantime, I kind of give up on having a sale--didn't move a thing with my markdowns, guess I should face that they will have to be carted to the new house. I still have tons to list, so back to work!

The Miracle of the Chalk Paint

Years ago, I bought this little cupboard on ebay, back before ebay protected the sellers from uninsured merchandise and it arrived with its doors broken in half, and the hideous green paint that I thought I could fix would not accept the blue I tried to put over it, it looked even worse when I was done. In disgust, I pushed it to the back of a shelf and forgot about it until this weeks pack and clean nightmare. I almost tossed it in the trash, but saw the jar of chalk paint just as it was on the way to the bin and decided to give it one more try. VOILA! How pretty is it now? This was a lesson in not giving up!

Selling Some from My Personal Collection

Most of these will be buy it now. Columns spice tin and tiny flour sack are $28 each, $14 for the Monarch tin, $38 for the raisin tin, $17.95 for the creamtop spoon (and I have 2 of these), $18 for the tiny funnel, $45 for the pair of tiny biscuit cutters.

Bargains Galore on the Way to Ebay

I'm cleaning cupboards and have about one million odds and ends to list this week coming--I will be auctioning so many kitchenwares and tins for tiny money, plus really good large items for medium money...stay tuned! These photos are just the tip of the proverbial antique iceberg...
