Old Chippy White Door

We went shopping at my favorite Wyoming antique shop yesterday...Auntie Q's in Cody.

This guy finds the best architectural pieces!

This door is a Happy Birthday to me present! 

Today is my birthday so I'm posting what I bought for myself for my birthday. I've begun a new tradition, every summer we seem to end up in Wyoming on my birthday and last year I found the most beautiful architectural piece in the same shop...posted here.

Last spring I knew I was going to find the right door in this shop and sure enough...there it was. It was on hinges and he was using it, I hesitated to ask but then figured all he can say is no. He said "everything is for sale"! It was a very good price too since someone had trimmed it down on the bottom a little.

But who cares...I plan to lean it against the living room wall behind an old chair. The same wall also will have the piece that I found last year, once I can get Mr. Wild to hang it!!!

I have lots of old door knobs so I will find just the right one.

Some times you just gotta buy what you want!!!

I'm just so happy with this old door!!!

Thanks for stopping!

Old Beat Up Zenith Wringer Washer

An old Zenith wringer washer we picked up on a ranch in South Dakota to add to my 'collection' of wringer washers. This one will definitely become a planter.

I just love old wringer washers planted with geraniums, petunias and trailing plants...this will make a great planter! And it best of all...it was Free! (It better be...in that condition!)

Love the rust!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Old Wrought Iron Chippy White Baby Bed

While on the way to Wyoming we stopped at my favorite South Dakota antique shop...

I always walk through the main shop, back outside and into an old barn full of 'good junk'!

But on my way to the barn I saw this old baby bed leaning against the fence. It was white at one time but the paint has yellowed and become all chippy...just the way I like it best...

On close inspection...everything was there and the tag read $25! The man said it just arrived about 2 hours ago, no way was I letting this bed go so Mr. Wild loaded it into the trailer. I also found the pretty vintage crocheted edge table cloth that I thought looked nice with the old baby bed for the picture.

I picked up a few more goodies but I'll save them for later.

Thanks for stopping by...

Wild Wild West...Wyoming!

This is my first post with Funky Junk Interiors Saturday Night Special! I accidentally discovered the Barn/Farm/Western Things party tonight and since we are in spending a little time in Wyoming working on our Dirt Ranch hopefully soon to be our new home when we retire, I thought this was perfect timing to post a few pictures of Wyoming...

Wild Mustangs in the Pryor Mountains (Montana but only a few miles north of us)...

A 'small' cattle drive that happen past our place...

An old hand made hay feeder that came with the place....

Buffalo skull....

Part of our fence with the Big Horn Mountains in the background...

Old hand made, from way back, corral gates...

if you can see up close they used old horse shoes as latches...

And last but not least....a Wyoming sunset...

Rose Dishes

We're on vacation but I couldn't resist going back into my files and posting...I didn't want to miss out on the parties this week.

I apologize for not getting back to any of your helpful comments last week. With packing and trying to get ready to go, I just couldn't...I thought I would but it just didn't happen.

I found this large set of dishes at my favorite thrift store a few months ago. It could stand a few more cups but there are a dozen dinner plates and saucers. There are about 6 salad plates and 6 soup bowls.

I love the sugar bowl but the little creamer was missing. I just happened upon one for sale on Etsy so I grabbed it but I didn't take a picture to add to these.

I just love the pattern with the sweet pink roses and the blue and gold border. I wouldn't mind adding to this set.

The pattern is Mt. Vernon and it was made by Hall for Sears. I found them in an old Sears catalog...I need to ask Mr. Wild what year but they were featured as the top of the line dishes at that time in that catalog.

Thanks for visiting and I'll try to do better on returning comments.

We're out in wild and wonderful Wyoming working on our retirement place.

Be sure to check out these parties...
