I am SO excited about this week’s finds!
I originally headed out of town for an estate garage sale, only to get there and find out it had been closed because of the seller’s health. Definitely not how I wanted that trip to go…BUT, it ended up working out perfectly.
I stopped at a little shop right off the highway that I visit from time to time, and it 100% made up for the disappointment. The rusty crusty goodness I found was incredible. The old tins, primitive wares, rusty metal pieces…so many things that made me stop and dig a little deeper.
And then the owner said, “Did you see the new stuff on the trailer? We just got all that this morning.”
Well. A picker’s dream.
The first photo is what these finds look like once I get them home and start putting the pieces together. The rest of the photos are a little more honest about what sourcing actually looks like around here. Digging through piles, crawling around trailers, and hunting for the good stuff in 90-degree weather.
Not exactly glamorous, but I wouldn’t trade it.
Because THIS is the part I love. Finding the old, rusty, crusty, forgotten pieces and then bringing them home to clean up, figure out what stays, what goes to Farmhouse 180, and how each piece is going to be styled.
It's always worth the dirt, sweat and digging.
Now I have a whole pile of goodness to work through.
Which find would you grab first?
