More junk shopping and more good finds. I bought a few things from the online auction and several things at my favorite junk shop.

Between the bad weather and the holidays, it had been a few weeks since I went to the junk shop.

So, of course, I had to make a trip. I miss the junk shop and the Butler’s. Such a nice family.

The first thing I spotted on entering the shop was this antique piano stool. I had to have it. More on the stool later.

The shop is full of glassware and dishes but I rarely buy any. Now I’m kicking myself because I have a project where I need a pretty vintage china plate.

I shop in the junk metal aisle a lot.

One of the back rooms where I find goodies including old drawer pulls.

We can’t forget the silverplate. You guys know how I love upcycling and repurposing these pretty pieces.

I have a thing for old enamelware too. White pieces with black trim always catch my eye.

The blush pink and blue piece is pretty but just wait….

Even though the bottom was completely rusted away I bought the piece anyway.

Kitchen scales are another favorite of mine. I paid $10 for this one.

The brand is Scales For The Worlds People. Never heard of this brand before.

Large shaker missing a lid but I loved the cut glass.

Now, about that piano stool. I paid $15 for it. The finish on the seat has either worn off or been stripped. The stain on the base is in bad shape and has a red tint to it. I don’t like the reddish tint at all.

After researching the piece, I found that it was probably made in the very early 1900s. I plan to keep the piece and strip the stain from the bottom I may clean and wax it and leave it unfinished. We will see. I think it would make a great side table.

I paid $10 for the vintage badminton set at the auction. I see the rackets all the time at flea markets but never see the shuttlecocks.

I also bought this box lot of stuff from the auction.

I’m a sucker when it comes to Ball and Mason jars.

That’s it. What did you like and what ideas do you have for me? Thanks for being here, Kathy

  1. The piano seat was a great find. I’d have to live with it as is until my brain decided what to do with it.

  2. You find the neatest stuff at Mr. Butler’s! I wish we had places like that in our area. Great prices too!

  3. I love it all! Wish I could go thrifting with you. You always find such cool stuff. The piano bench is awesome!
