2nd Time Around: Antique Alley Porch Finds

This past weekend, I shopped the US Highway 11 Antique Alley. This event was started several years ago in an effort to get people to drive the older highways and see more of rural America! Highway 11 runs about a mile from my house, and there are lots of booths set up in spots along the highway. I met so many nice people-from Mobile, Ala. to Tennessee that either had set up a booth or were out shopping. I’ve considered setting up a booth, but think that it is much more fun to actually shop! LOL

I lost count of the stuff I bought for my booths,  but decided to keep  this window shelf and a couple of accessories for my porch.

This old window frame had been repurposed into a shelf by adding a board and two spindles! I think this is a great way to use those old windows! The ceiling tin is one I’ve had awhile…it came out of an old building in my town.

 

I fell in love with this iron finial with a bird perched on top! It was only $4.00!

This cute teapot watering can is hand painted from Italy! It was only $1.00! I love anything that is hand painted and from any country other than China!

I also bought a bench, a baker’s rack, chest with shelves to paint…and LOTS of vintage jewelry! Some was cheap and other pieces I paid more for, but overall the prices  are great if you consider the total!
