Antique Trail 2020

 

A  few  weekends ago, my mom and I

went on our yearly trek to find antiques

along the Lake Huron shoreline.


                 I did not find much for either of the stores,

and only three items for myself.

Mom stayed in the car while I wore my mask and went hunting,

This is a cow swatter. Although I am going to use it as something else.

My grandparents never swatted their cows either.



Next is this wall box.

 
Original red paint and rose head nails.
(nail seen at top left)
This piece is from the 1700's.
Another one for my collection from this time period.


Finally another pantry box.


I love this blue and the construction is as
solid as when it was made in the 1800's.


Just love this blue!
