June Is For Brides

By Deanna Posted on June 15, 2016 Posted in For Sale

June is for weddings! Here’s a bit of what we have for sale at F.A.R.M.:

A vintage boxed set of handkerchiefs – with blue embroidery, so it’s both the “something old” and the “something blue” (and maybe even covers “something new” as it’s new to you!)

And a pretty vintage bride doll. She’s made of cloth and I believe her dress is silk, her veil silk chiffon. Quite fragile; very lovely!

Also, see our vintage train cases & a very cool, ultra mod, round Tourister Tiara suitcase in white. Vintage suitcases well-suited for your honeymoon travels!

While these are in the shop (booths 25 & 26, dealer YES), we will ship. You can call the F.A.R.M. shop at 701-356-9199 between 10 am and 7 pm Central time Monday through Saturday (noon to 6 pm on Sundays). Or, you may contact us directly here or on Facebook.

In The Mood For Red, White, & Blue

By Deanna Posted on June 12, 2016 Posted in An Antiquers Life, For Sale

If you’d have seen the wifely lately, you’d know a bit about what we’ve been working on due the color of her hands. *wink* For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure, we’ve just made these pretty (and rather large!) quilt block boards. Each board features a red, white, and blue star quilt block. The boards are stained either red or white. Each measure board measures 29 inches square. It was the best way to salvage the quilt. Perfect for quilt lovers, fans of Americana — and, of course, just in time for the Fourth of July!

Also shown in the photo from our space at F.A.R.M.…

That 8-foot long primitive industrial cart, vintage Pigeon Forge Pottery racoons, and a collection of vintage handmade, wooden Hagar The Horrible characters!

Oh, and we’ve some of these vintage quilt block boards at Su Laine’s too. You can see what they look like in our booth with other vintage red & white items. (The whole thing is so Pennsylvania Dutch looking, isn’t it?!)

Among the other things we’ve been doing…

We were on the radio again. This time, I joined hubby on KFGO and we talked about picking during Fargo-Moorhead’s Clean-Up Week.

Sometimes we’re so busy picking, cleaning, painting, etc. that we don’t blog as much as we should. We’ll try to do better; meanwhile, keep an eye out on our Tumblr, Twitter, & Facebook Page for some quick peeks at what we’re up to and what we’ve got for sale. (Follow us too, please!)

Pigeon Forge Pottery Raccoons

By Deanna Posted on April 25, 2016 Posted in For Sale

A lovely estate find: a trio of vintage raccoons from the Pigeon Forge Pottery!

Each piece signed by Douglas Ferguson, founder of the pottery. (Signature of “D Ferguson” incised on the bottom of each piece.)

Each is different at all pieces of Pigeon Forge pottery were handmade. (Even if a molded, not handmade piece, all pottery pieces were hand finished). Including one that is quite large, and one in the white crater glaze!

The pottery closed in 2000, after Ferguson’s passing. These three pieces are likely from decades earlier; we were told these were purchased annually (or nearly so) when the couple was healthy enough to travel to one of their favorite travel destinations, Tennessee, especially on their anniversary. Authenticate vintage, super cute — sort of a “mod meets rustic,” perfect for lake homes! Currently in our space at F.A.R.M.. We will ship! Call the shop directly at 701-356-9199; or contact us!

Handsome Vintage Wooden Smoking Stand Humidor with Freemasons Ashtray

By Deanna Posted on April 22, 2016 Posted in For Sale

An incredible vintage smoking table, smoke stand, or standing humidor — still with the original copper liner! But it’s the outside the fabulous outside details which really make this a standout vintage piece. Lots of parquet, turned legs and spindle side handles, little storage spaces… A very handsome smoking parlor piece.

The ashtray which sits on top of the stand bears the Masonic square and compasses, with the center “G”. While the Masons ashtray was found with the table, it’s not original to the piece or was in a Freemasons lodge or Masonic member’s home. Still, a very beautiful and intriguing piece!

It currently sits in our space at SuLaine’s antique mall, Detroit Lakes, MN. If interested, contact the shop (218-844-6830) or contact us; we will ship! For details &/or more info on other pieces shown with this vintage smoking stand: vintage double-sided metal Minnesota Farm Bureau Member sign; a vintage wooden crate used to ship books to a Professor in River Forest, Illinois, from Concordia Publishing House of St. Louis, Missouri; and antique Sweet Cuba Tobacco tin & antique antique copper cigar humidor.

Antique Advertising Tins

By Deanna Posted on March 1, 2016 Posted in For Sale

A trio of lovely antique advertising pieces. The first two are very large tins, one for Sears Rivera Brand Coffee and the other for Sweet Cuba Tobacco.

Also shown (a bit) in this photo of the two tins is the antique copper cigar humidor, inscribed “To Schultz.”

More photos of these tins:

To help you get an idea of scale, here’s the antique tobacco can on a vintage picnic basket:

All of these are in our space at SuLaine’s Antique Mall, Detroit Lakes, MN.

If you were impressed by the size of those cans, check out this huge antique Cream City Flour Bin & Sifter!

A close-up of the gold advertising logo/graphics on the black metal bin:

And, for a better idea of just how large this antique flour sifter is, here it is shown next to a vintage high chair & other items in our booth at F.A.R.M. (booth #40, right next to check-out desk).

UPDATE: Just learned that the Sears, Roebuck and Company (Chicago) tin sold. The rest are still available!

Large Antique Painted Plaster Relief Of Mary

By Deanna Posted on February 11, 2016 Posted in For Sale

People have asked about the gorgeous antique plaster relief of Mary we previously showed you, so here’s some more info:

It came out of a very old Catholic church. It’s not so much a wall plaque; this old plaster piece was built into the alter or wall of a church — as evidenced by the carved and gilded wooden frame. A rather large architectural plaster relief religious medallion.

Measurements:

23 inches by 27 inches, and 5 inches deep.

We are proud to present another turn of the church piece — a true antique religious item! Never seen another like it!

If interested, contact us for additional information and details. For now, it sits in our space at SuLaine’s. Price: $415
