Westward Ho! Antique & Vintage Western Americana
Whoa, Nellie, did we bring in the Western Americana to our space at Exit 55 Antiques! You might recognize the antique burlap feed and seed sacks from this post on how to clean them. (They turned out super, don’t you think?) The old horse bits and antique curry comb were more deaccessioned items from the…

Have Yourself A Kitschy Little Christmas!
We’ve been trying to keep our space at Exit 55 Antiques (Fergus Falls, MN) full of Christmas items — but they are selling so fast! Yes, the vintage reindeer are practically flying out of the shop, but we do have a pair of the vintage or retro plush reindeer stuffed with sawdust. And there are…

A Rare Antique Folk Art Find: A Family Tree Made Of Tintypes
A few weeks ago, my husband & I attended an auction at the Cass Country Historical Society. The museum was deaccessioning hundreds of items in order to raise funds to replace the historic St. John’s Lutheran Church which had suffered too much damage from a fire.

Vintage Doll House Furniture

My favorites are the two-piece…

Vintage Bikes!
First we scored this sweet little vintage red and white Coast-King tricycle… It’s a Coast-to-Coast bike. Then, just a couple of weeks later, we scored another vintage Coast-to-Coast bike. This one is a Columbia bike and it looks pretty snazzy up on the wall as art, American Pickers‘ style. I especially like the depth of…

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!
Because we have the window to decorate and display at Antiques On Broadway, I feel like we share a lot of those photos — but don’t share enough photos of our space at Exit 55 Antiques. So here’s a few photos to rectify that. This photo of our booth shows our nice (if we do…

Vintage Inspiration
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,…

Details on the chair can be found here. Other special pieces include the antique doily holder, a ceramic black poodle bank,…

Primitive Chippy Paint Wood Heaven
Sometimes, decorating a booth space at an antique mall is much fun as decorating your house. The only sad thing is seeing how cool the set-up looks and wishing you could take it all back home with you and re-do the house. Unfortunately, hubby won’t let me do that. But if you love chippy-paint antique…
