Need Flowers?

These cream colored flowers measure approx. 1 inch around and stand about 1/2" tall. They feel like they are made from a very thin Styrofoam. Would be very easy to add color to with ink, Glimmer Mist, coffee staining. Probably anything you can think of! Some have open petals and some have tighter petals if you have a preference. I have a bunch of them so let me know how many you want!

39 cents each

Just A Few Of The Treasures We Came Back With...
Sold!! Thanks Joanne!


This is a machinists toolbox that was probably made in the 20's.

But we all know that's not what it will be used for now. Can you imagine the treasures that can be stored in here? It is handmade from golden oak. Closed it measures 12 3/4" tall, 8" wide, and 19" long. The wood is dovetailed along the bottom left and right of the the box.



The lid opens up and has a mirror which is original to the box. Maybe the machinist needed to make sure he looked good!


There are 4 drawers that measure 8 1/4" wide, 6 1/4" long, and 3/4 " deep. There is one drawer that is 8 1/4" wide, 6 1/4" long, and 2 1/2" deep. The next drawer is 18" wide, 6 1/4" long and 3/4" deep. The bottom drawer is 18" wide, 6 1/4" long, and 2 1/2" deep.
They all have metal bottoms.


Now we're getting to my favorite part, the hardware. Every corner has this cool metal corner on it. There are four metal latches and every drawer has a metal drawer pull.


And my absolute favorite are the two metal hinges on the back. Don't they look like fleur de lis?


Remember, this box is old but for it's age I think it is in great shape! The wood and metal have the best patina! Now for what's wrong with the box. It is missing the front cover that hides the drawers . That's it!

$125.00
plus actual shipping cost or available for local pick up.

This is a vintage rubber alphabet stamp set. It has upper and lower case letters, numbers, the words "For, And", the pointing hand, $, +, -, x,=, %, &, ?, ., comma, 1/2. The upper case letters stand 1" tall, lower case stand 1/2" tall, numbers stand just under 1" tall, the words are in script writing, and the hand is big, almost 2" long! It comes with a ink bottle. The ink is all dried up. Now for the fine print. The upper case "A" is missing. The lower case "z" is missing. Naturally the red rubber is a little dry but I stamped a few of them and they work just fine. These are used, vintage, and cool!

$25

Not That I Am The Most Daily Of Bloggers...

But my excuse this time is a good one. Our 5th grand baby is on the way as we speak and I expect to be cuddling with this little guy for a few days!

Another Unique Peddler Find ~Update SOLD!!

Awesome Oak storage box. Reminds me of a filing cabinet drawer. Love the yardstick used on the sides of the drawer. I wonder if this was used by a crafter to begin with and they needed handy measuring guides? I would have thought it was homemade but it has a Weis decal on it and was made in Monroe, Michigan. Weis was in business from 1912 until 1964 so it's at least "vintage".
The box measures 10" x 15" and stands 7 3/4" tall. The drawer is 8 1/4" wide.

Can you use it in your craft room, or anywhere else for that matter?

And, in case you're wondering, of course I want to keep it but The Peddler won't let me. I'll only pout for a little while.

$35+ actual shipping or local pick up
