Looking at Old Things

Our Away Time was focused on looking for some furniture pieces. To do that we go to Brockenhaüser, which are re-sale shops - what you would call flea markets. You can find all sorts of things in them, some good things, lots of junk, and occasional treasures. We were looking for the latter. Out in the countryside these places sometimes look like museums.

Take a look:

A painted cabinet in the rustic style, probably a century old

An Armoire

In a small town on our hunting trip

A turn-of-the-century Buffet from a grand hotel

A butter churn, spinning wheel, chest, etc.

Many people do not want Grandma's old china anymore....

A sewing corner

Bed frames

A large Corpus, probably from an old church

And these days we can get plastic wares from Walmart, so who needs this old stuff?

(Oops, forgot to size this picture before transfer) Note the cake testers. I wouldn't have noticed them but for Katie's post.

Miniature farm implements carved in wood

Overflow in the attic

A nursery display

All available for anyone who still likes old things

 Still to come: the countryside.
