So much of the time, at an estate sale, the best stuff- at least as far as I'm concerned- is in the basement.
Today I went to a sale in a sprawling ranch house- the upstairs was FULL of Oriental pictures, Oriental vases, Oriental chairs, Oriental EVERYTHING- not exactly the look I'm going for in my booth at the Country Antique show I'm doing in Jun.
But the BASEMENT was a different story- sure things were, well...dirty and I brought more than one cobweb up the stairs with me- but I got great stuff- and I've got a hose in my backyard.
So the stuff in the top pictures turned into this. A primitive shelf...
...made from fruit crates.
A frame that looks a lot better when the plywood back is taken off. You can see the top of the formerly cobweb filled LARGE wire basket at the bottom of the picture.
Another wire thing...
And some cabinet cards- I've started to look at the BACKS of cards because sometimes they're prettier than the actual portrait. Like this one with a flourishy logo and the word "artist".
