First Garage Sale of the Season!!!

I stopped at my first garage sale this year--and wow, did I find a lot of goodies for the shop! Let me know what you think...

At top left, a small wicker hamper with liner; youth oak chairs (3) that need seat bottoms--I don't cane, but was thinking about making a padded seat, unless I sell them as is and let it up to the new owner; 3 apple butter stirrers; a wooden high chair, small cabinet; nail keg; another small chair I will prim up and a thick wooden cutting board with thick rope handle--a little unusual, but hopefully a new "old" finish will fix it right up.


Also got an ammo box; old glove box; neat small white chest and an enamel-topped kitchen cabinet.


Couple of old pics which I will use the frames for stitcheries; nice oil lamp; star colander; nut chopper; syrup dispenser; tin tissue box; glass block lamps; the cutting board and a couple of old school books.


This linen piece would make a great valance over a wide window.


I think this is a crocheted collar, really pretty--close-up below.


Two doilies with a pretty design.


A fruit-designed tablecloth that is faded but
would still make pretty pillows or such.



Some more doilies...


A small tablecloth with pretty embroidery...


And last, a patchwork quilt--has some wear on the edges, so it's probably a cutter; a large rag rug; and an old hap that has an old quilt inside--I will probably remove the outer fabric to see what is revealed underneath--probably a cutter as this was a way to recycle old quilts...I love surprises!!!
