Lincoln Highway Buy-Way Sale Finds

By The Olde Farmhouse on Windmill Hill on Aug 09, 2012

It's been awhile since I've shown you my garage sale finds. There are mainly 2 reasons for this.

#1 I haven't been to very many this summer.
#2 The ones I did go to didn't yield much (therefore not worth showing).

So today, I decided to hit the Lincoln Highway Buy-Way sales (which are close to where I live) and see what I could find. I left all 3 boys with my sister-in-law (bless her heart!) in exchange for babysitting for her tomorrow so she can hit the sales. I was pleased with what all I found.

This winter, when I have time to dedicate to it, I want to start an Etsy shop featuring vintage farmhouse or farmhouse industrial items. I've been collecting a few things as I find them and today I found several more items for that plus a few things for myself.

So, without further ado, here's my 'stuff':

Wooden ironing board - $2 I'm undecided whether to keep or sell this. :)

Let's take a closer look:

Old Pepsi crate - Toledo, OH - $2

Coffee grinder - $20 Aqua insulator - $1

$20 is a lot to spend on one item but I know I've seen worse ones than this bring much higher at auctions. The insulator will be repurposed into something for my future Etsy shop.

Wooden hangers - $1 for all These also will be repurposed for the shop.

2 small and 1 large Golden Harvest canisters - $1.25 for 3 These are for me.

Aqua apothecary bottle - $3 That sounds like a lot but this is for me and I don't see aqua ones very often.

Desk and chair - $10 This is for my preschooler to use.

Miscellaneous clothes for my baby - $3.50

Pair of industrial-style stools - $4 for both These are for the shop. Not pictured - wire fencing - $.75
