Away Game- June 17th

Last weekend the Hubs and I drove about an hour outside of San Diego  to check out a sale.  "Old Ranch Estate," three words that can get me up at 5 AM!  I was hoping to restock some old, rusty, chippy, metal type inventory and this sale did not disappoint.  We left with an entire car load of goods- albeit our car is rather small, but it was full none-the-less.

Just a small sampling of some inventory I still need to clean and sort. 

I love this giant buffalo print!

a truly beautiful Butchers cutting board.  

I'm slowly adding items into both shops, but the amount we brought home has me a bit overwhelmed.  So much so that we didn't even go treasure hunting this weekend.
 
Mid Century Modern Clock available in NellsVintageHouse

8 like new condtion Vernon Rose dinner plates, available in NVH

Old brass weights in wood box, Available in AVintageMan

1936 Lions Club Award/Paperweight, available in AVM
Have you ever had a haul so large you didn't know where to start?  
Any tips on how to tackle to pile?


Love learning about what others "find?"

      Anne- I love the butchers board as well. It one of the most beautiful things I've ever found. I think I even let out a little gasp when I uncovered it.

    Amazing stuff, all of it! I keep buying stuff all the time, just for my own house. I pile it up on the dining room table until I can't stand it any more. Then I find places for it, and start all over again. I want a room lined with shelves just to store dishes!
