We Needed a Bigger Truck for Texas!

Well, I'd say we needed a bigger truck for this load. Gary and Joe have this truck so full that suitcases are going up front with us. But....by golly, we're just about ready!
The pictures below are some of the great things on the truck. I really need to get back to work so I won't talk about each picture! The one picture of the green chair has a fabulous retro lamp with 3---not 2--but 3 shades! It gets lost in the picture so wanted to point it out.

If you are out and about in Texas, look us up at Marburger Farm, Tent H-11.

We're leaving in the morning, so I'll post lots of pictures when we return!

Until Next Time,

Get Ready For Winter--Hang Your Hat!

Kind of a boring shot--but a hall tree that everyone can use!

Get ready for winter with all of your fancy hats!

One-Of-A-Kind Stool---A Real Work of Art

This oak and pine stool has been turned into a unique piece of folk-art. The seat was really worn, so it has been recovered with vintage yardsticks. It is really a cute piece.
A close-up of the seat.

Not only is this useable, but a nice conversation piece. One of these yardsticks is actually from a bank I used to work at. I'm sure we will have requests from our customers that want special memories on the seat!

Until next time,

Can You Judge a Book by It's Cover? Oh Yeah!

Who wouldn't love these old books? I just came across a whole box of them. Even if the story isn't worth reading, maybe the beauty is on the cover.
They sure don't make covers like this anymore. Maybe a pretty jacket, but when the book is out of the jacket it is usually a solid color. Do you like them?
Until next time,

Hello? Hello? Hello?

How about a trio of mid-century telephones! I remember the party line my grandma had when she lived out in the country. We used to get in trouble if we were caught listening! These phones are so heavy I don't know how we were even able to hold them to our ear for very long.

Thought these would be your daily dose of a "Blast from the Past"!
Until next time,

The Holiday Season is Approaching-Fast!

Last night as I was thinking about the "Holiday Entertainment" section that I will be putting together in my shop, I decided that I would put together one in Texas at the Marburger Farm show too! I had the tv on in the background and our local PBS station was having it's membership drive --and low and behold, they had that Christmas Show with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and it made me realize that summer is almost gone and the Holiday season is approaching. Here are a few shots of fun pieces. I love these spice canisters--aluminum with pink tops.
I'll have lots of crystal, etched wine goblets, serving pieces, candle holders and festive pottery!

Remember the sets of Pyrex bowls? My mom still uses hers. There also is a big yellow bowl that I don't have shown with these.

Even if you are not a collector of glass, everyone uses them! That's why I price them so they are affordable and usable. Then it's not a tragedy if they crack or break! Well, maybe sometimes!

Until next time,

If Only a Thimble Could Talk

Just think of all the conversations that are inside these thimbles! Some of these are engraved, some are bent, some are scratched, all are well-used! Hours and hours of work inside of these. I always figure the fancy ones were for gifts.
I love this shot glass. It is exactly made like a thimble and engraved on it's front is
"Just a thimbleful". Maybe it was used at the quilting bee!

Just wanted to share these little treasures with you!

Until next time,

Pam
