More February Inventory Pics

As promised, here are some more pics of the fun stuff I'll have for sale at Mama's Happy in February. 

I found this really cute painting of a barn on canvas, and framed it in a Robinwood Reclaim frame (Which are for sale at the store) Since the frames are made out of reclaimed barnwood, I thought it would be a perfect fit for this painting of a barn!  

I love the "Junk appeal" of these two candle sticks. 


This mirror is made from reclaimed barnwood, but not a Robinwood creation.


A copper ash bucket with porcelein handles.  This would look very cute next to the fireplace!


Again. . Junk Appeal

I'm not sure what this is, but it's made out of wrought iron and really thick heavy leaded glass.  It would make a great hurricane candle holder.

This is my favorite piece so far this month!  It's a garden trellis made from very old antique doors and an antique ladder.  This crackle finish is NOT manufactured by me.  It's the real thing baby! Unfortunately, the picture doesn't do it justice, so you'll just have to come on down to the store and see it in person!


I've got more to post yet!  Finished painting some furniture but need to distress and put a coat of polly on it.  Once I've done that, I'll share. 

Incredible treasures I've picked up!

I'm gearing up for February, and have found some pretty cool stuff!  I don't usually find things at antique stores, but for some reason I struck gold last week!  

This is a Swedish Braided Rug that is still on the wheel, which makes it perfect to display on the wall.  According to the tag, it was made in the 1930's.  I think it is just beautiful and would make a great addition to a living room wall.




This is the epitome of repurposing.  This primitive corner shelf is actually the roof of an antique garden wishing well!  I'm still kicking around the idea of painting, but I think that would take away from the antique value.




Another primitive looking antique.  The photo looks mauve, but the color actually has more orange to it, in person.  It's like a tangerine/pink color.   It's a nice little step stool that's very sturdy.   Again, to paint or not to paint, that is the question?!




I really love this piece.  It's an antique wood curio shelf with gold guilding on the frame.  I love the patinad look the gold has taken on over the years.






I did not pick this piece up at the antique store, so I'm not sure if it's old or not, but I there's something about a giant spoon, I can't resist!  I love the details on the wrought iron handle!  This almost looks like it could hold a small plant.


This is just the beginning of posts for February's sale.  I have a ton of new stuff, that I'll continue to post prior to the sale, so stay tuned!


Thanks for looking.   By the way, let me know you were here.  Leave a comment on my post, or add yourself as a follower of the website.

Happy New Year!

I decided to take the month of January off at Mama's Happy, to rejuvenate and gear up for February.  Even though I won't have a new selection of stuff at the store this month, there is still a lot of cool stuff coming in the door for January and you won't want to miss it!  I was out there the other night and took a few pictures before my camera battery pooped out on me! 


Wednesday night is Ladies night at the store from 6-9, so come for some sneak preview shopping and some vino!








This cool piece is actually a wine rack!  It would be perfect for anyone thinking of 
starting a wine cellar or needing to add to their current wine cellar!
