Remember when I told y’all I go to some pretty shady places to find vintage goodies? Well, I wasn’t kidding. 😅
Mary and I spotted a handwritten sign on the side of the road today pointing toward a house being cleaned out. Apparently, antique treasures override my sense of self-preservation… so we followed it.
The house looked like it had been vacant for YEARS, and then we found this dark, dingy staircase leading down into the basement.
But at the bottom? An old woodworking shop that looked like someone had simply walked away from years ago.
We came home with some beautiful pieces of cedar for future projects, antique tools, an old brick mold, and a nice little collection of old jugs and jars. Upstairs, we even found a few ducks 🦆 and a really cool hexagon end table/cabinet!
After a VERY thorough cleaning, some of today’s treasures will be making their way to Flat Creek Crossroads soon.
Sometimes you find vintage treasures at an antique store.
And sometimes you follow a handwritten sign to an abandoned house and down a creepy basement staircase.
The things I do for y’all… 🤣
