Farm Fresh Finds Today

Hi everyone, I know I have been missing a while but between lousy rainy weather and general business I haven't had a lot to post about. Today is a lovely day here in Massachusetts with sunny skies and temps promising to be in the 70's so hubby and I decided to head out to the local sales.  We only went to one to fill our antique hunting desire today!  It was at a farmhouse and the older man was taking things out of the barn as we drove up. I got this wonderful early child's sleigh in old pumpkin paint complete with cobwebs and remainder of the straw stuffing which would have been under the original leather seat. Price was a whopping 8 dollars!  I am going to clean it up later and I am sure the paint will be amazing.  I also got the bakers table. I have no idea where I will put it but for 30 dollars I could not pass this beauty up. I am thinking I will give the base and legs a whitewash of paint and leave the scrubbed top as is. I love it!  I also bought the little doll crib on super cute wheels and will paint it another color and put some potted plants in it.  It reminded me a bit of a goat cart and for 3 dollars who could go wrong?  A plant shelf/stand in blue paint and a couple of enamelware and tin pieces rounded out the purchases.  As the dealers pulled up they were giving me the evil eye as I walked away with my finds! Kitty loves the sleigh too :)
