This week let’s update new arrivals! We received even more replica tin signs, if you can believe it. A photo of some of the new ones is below.
A shipment from our Nature Form line arrived. It included two large totem poles, lots of animal head canes, blown glass stump vases, decorative barrel table, wooden figures[turtles, hippos, motorcycles, etc.], bran new and surprisingly complicated elephant puzzle boxes and lots of the very popular superhero and villain puppets. Why not put on a puppet show for your dog or cat? It’s not the strangest way to pass time during lockdown that I’ve heard of.
We acquired a garage full of wicker back in the fall. Most of it never found its way into The Barn. We figured spring is coming, so recently we brought it all in a bit at a time, sorted and priced everything. I grabbed a photo of some of what we had in one of our aisles while we were sorting it, the photo is below. New items are coming in faster during lockdown then they are leaving, so we left some wicker in, filled up a huge armoire with some smaller pieces, and put the rest into storage. Once we reopen the rest should come in over the first few weeks as we have space. There was some wicker furniture but it was mostly smaller items: window planters, baskets, stools, serving trays, large & small planters, etc..
We’ve been asked a bunch of times during lockdown for old windows, mostly by film production buyers. We’ve had to tell everyone that we didn’t have any. Now that nobody is asking for them, we just got in a big batch in all kinds of different sizes. We left less than a dozen in The Barn, so if you need a pile, just ask.
A few more antique and vintage new arrivals included: 2 chainsaws, cast iron plant stand, gut seat bar stool, 2 pairs of snow shoes, vintage sleigh, extra thick orchard ladder[We attached a photo because we have never seen one that thick.], 2 large gold framed prints, drop front maple desk with chest on the bottom, pair of cast iron outdoor chairs, whale oil burner, and a wicker bistro table.
