ESTATE SALE
Well, let's just say that this estate sale was "pretty slim pickings." I found a blue fan to add to my collection (I'll post about it in January), two magnetic key hiders, and a wooden clipboard with which I plan to do a future photo project.
MOVING SALE
There also happened to be a moving sale in Superior. We picked up a few little gems...a crock, a metal handled tray, a candy jar, a green glass piece, and a clear glass refrigerator dish.
ANTIQUE STORE
Last, but certainly not least, was a find at one of my fave antique stores at Superior Antique & Art Depot. While there were lots of items that wanted to come home with me, I only walked away with a single great find...this great vintage sign! It's a hand-painted metal sign from a 1950s grocery store in Minnesota. The dealer didn't know the specific store, but isn't it marvelous!? It was all musty, dusty, and hidden in the back of one of their outdoor garages. It's about 5 feet tall!
After a good scrubbing, here it is on the wall in my dining room...
More projects, finds, and fun to come! Thanks for stopping by today!
Love that sign! You know, "pop" is such a northern term to us here in Texas. We never say pop...we always say coke...whether you want a root beer, Pepsi or Dr. Pepper...everything is a coke! Makes things so much more simple! :)

Great sign - I notice that Here in the Northwest we say soda alot. I'm pretty sure by the time I get to the next Estate sale I'll by anything just 'cause I can ! It's gonna be a long winter. Merry Christmas! Sue
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finding the old hand-painted sign! Very cool!

Thanks for stopping by for my 100th post and Giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful holiday season♥
Love the sign Amy, but down here it'd say "Ice Cold Cokes" "coke" meaning all soft drinks. I know it's confusing. Like the time I told my kids to get the "cokes" out of the car. Well that's what they did, but they left the Dr Pepper, Sprite etc, IN the car.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Christmas.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what happens with that fan! I have been wanting a cool, antique looking fan for my husband's study...that one has a great shape!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific sign! What I can't believe is that everyone's having sales and getting out and about way up there this time of year!!! Minnesotans are such troopers! (I lived in Mpls for 10 years and don't know how I managed!)
