You Want Antiques, Vintage, & Collectibles; We've Got 'Em
Just some of the old brown glass milk bottles we have available for sale.
Like beer bottles, these bottles were made of brown or amber glass to protect the contents from the deterioration of sunlight.
Glass milk bottles are not too common; and these amber ones are even more rare. They have neat old dairy advertising too.
Currently, the collection of these (and many other glass bottles) is at Antiques On Broadway.
I don’t like to throw anything out, if I can help it. I suppose that’s true of most lovers of vintage items and antiques… Many of these “old used things” can go on to live another life — if you can only see what they can be!
Sometimes, however, no matter how inspired I am, I just don’t have the time to make the things I see in my mind’s eye; those things we put up for sale. Like these antique wooden organ pieces. Wouldn’t they make great birdhouses? These are available at Exit 55 Antiques (Fergus Falls, MN).
(More photos of these on our Facebook page.)
And these old spigots and turn-handles make lovely sculptural flowers — that last long after Summer has come & gone. These can be found in our space at Antiques On Broadway (Fargo, ND). (Another photo of these is also on our Facebook page.)
If you have the inclination to get crafty and repurpose these beauties, contact the stores — or us, and we can get them to you!
A spectacular vintage gift set of garters, handkerchief, and matching decorated powder puff! As lovely as the day it was once presented in a vintage department store or gift shoppe. Available in our case at Antiques On Broadway.
When I was a kid, I used a Bell Telephone key chain just like as a phone for my Barbie dolls. Then at least someone in the house had their own pretty Princess telephone to use!
This powder blue plastic vintage advertising piece is on our case at Antiques On Broadway; just $9.
And here’s a photo of Ann-Margret, illustrating every young lady’s dreams of her own Princess phone in her room for private calls.
Not our britches. *wink* We’re expanding our space at Antiques On Broadway — while not all filled yet, here’s a snapshot of the larger case!
Deanna will be in Antiques On Broadway (Fargo, ND) today, Tuesday, October 16, 2012. Look for her in the afternoon if you want to talk about antiquing and collecting, want to buy or sell, or just want to dare her to help you find something in the store. *wink*
A few more photos of the antique, vintage, and retro items at our yard sale in Fargo, ND. Come on down, get a Play ‘n Spell — or just play for a spell. *wink*
Up here, in the land of frozen tundra aka Fargo, North Dakota, back to school signals the end of the rummage sale season. *heavy sigh* To celebrate, we’re having our last yard sale of 2012 tomorrow (Saturday, September 8). Same place (the north side of Fargo, 14 6th Ave.); same time (starting at 9 a.m.); but with lots of unusual things… Keep an eye on our Facebook page for more sneak peeks!
Items to note: lots of books — both antique and vintage varieties, such as this lovely Thackeray set, and like new contemporary titles as well. Plenty of vintage cookbooks too. Between reading and cooking, you’re set for a cold winter!
Added a few things to the case at Antiques On Broadway… The wooden mail sorter box from the Fergus Falls, MN, post office ($100). It’s on top of the case, between the box of Easy Rider Magazines and the smaller crate full of assorted vintage magazines. Near it, an antique barrel or keg ($75).
We also added a vintage Kool-Aid dispenser by Chilton ($15); which isn’t very primitive, but we love pop culture collectibles too. Don’t you?
Today, Saturday, July 28 (2012), we’re having a good old fashioned rummage or yard sale!
So stop on buy, err, by 14 6th Ave N in Fargo, ND — in the alley. Open from 9 to 3.
Some of the items include two foosball tables — one vintage, one newer model. (We posted them at Craig’s List too.)
