Country Hearth Primitives

Do you ever search craigslist and come across some neat items?  Well, I came across a neat store just by searching craigslist.  This place is located in Grove City, Ohio and it is called Country Hearth Primitives.  They sell a mixture of antiques, primitives and a few other items as well.  Of course the antiques and primitives are right up my alley.  I took my Mom there a couple weeks ago and we loved it.  I found so many goodies and by the time we left there, we felt like we were eating the dash board because we didn’t have much room left in the car for us (lol).  Here are some of the items that I came home with.

I absolutely loved the bowls.  They looked so old and look perfect in my kitchen.  I also found these……  She said that they were old spinning wheels and I thought they were very unusual and very neat.

I absolutely fell in love with this big huge barrel as soon as I walked up to the front door.  Isn’t it great?  I ended up putting it on my front porch.  I have so been wanting a large barrel for awhile and when I came across it…..well, it was easy for me to decide on it.

I then found this and had to get it.  I thought it would be perfect in my bedroom or my family room.  I just loved the picture when I came across it.

I bought this to hang on my fence……

AND this was probably my best purchase of the day.  A very old bed which she called a “hired help” bed.  I did some research on this bed and found one just like it for sale online and that particular one said that it from the late 1800’s.  I thought it would be great in my flowerbed.  The neat thing about this bed is that it folds up.  It is very neat!!  Are you ready to see it?  Yep, I was crazy over it when I first saw it.  Here are some pics…..

Very neat – don’t ya think?  Well, I hope that you enjoyed my new finds and most of all the goodies that you can find at this wonderful and very unique store.

Have a great week everyone.

~ American Pickers ~

Awhile back my hubby took me to this place in Springfield that had tons of old barn wood, old windows, doors and the list goes on.  Well, awhile back I decided to head back over there and look around while my Mom was with me.  I forget the name of the place, but they said that they were in the process of changing the name again.  Anyway, it so reminds me of a smaller version of American Pickers.  If you are looking for some old stuff for your home then you are definitely in luck.  Let’s take a look.  Here is a picture of the front of the building.  The front of this place is normally loaded with anything and everything wood.  Looking for something made out of wood then you will find it here.

Did you see all the old windows and doors?  What about all that barn wood and did you see all of the old chicken coups piled on top of one another?   I just couldn’t believe how much more stuff they had behind the store.  Tons and Tons of stuff!!  Here are a few pics that I took while inside.  Just imagine some of these old doors inside an old farmhouse.  Yep, I just need the money and the house and I think I could get started with refurbishing one – how about you?!?

 There were tons of these.  The gentleman that helped us said that he got them out of an old theatre and that someone had already purchased each and everyone of them for $40.00 each.  I thought they were neat, but I would have no idea what I would do with one (lol).

Here are a few more pics of a close up of the porch area. 

I ended up leaving with an old barn door, some old glass jug jars that I bought for $1.00 each, a Clabber Girl tin, 2 old lanterns and a rusty old can.  My hubby asked me what I was going to do with an old rusty can, but I couldn’t really answer him.  I think I will work on that as the weather gets warmer so be watching for more posts.  Here are the pics of my new items.

Gotta love old and rusty things!!  For all of those items…… I only ended up spending $13.92.  Pretty good deals don’t ya think?

Well, I better go for now.  Keep checking back frequently because I just recently checked out a new shop and can’t wait to show you my new purchases.  Blessings to you all.

Hugs, Lisa

Is Spring Around The Corner?

I am not sure about you, but I am definitely ready for spring.  I went this weekend to take pictures at North Shore Primitives for her Spring Open House.  If you aren’t ready for spring then head on over there because it really gets you in the mood.  I didn’t need much help at all, but after going through Vickie’s shop and taking pictures for her site….. well, it made me even more anxious.  Her shop was loaded with flowers ad greenery for any type of arrangement.  She had some beautiful wreaths, lots of bunnies and she even had some new pieces of furniture which were amazing.  I left there thinking once again that I needed a larger home and more money (lol).  Here are a few pictures from her shop, but for the full effect…..head on over to North Shore Primitives.

Did you see the fake fern that I posted?  Well, I just loved it when I saw it in the store and ended up buying some of it.  Here is what I did with some of it.

What do you think of my old wooden crate that I had posted in my previous post?  I thought it looked great in front of my couch.  With the crock, the fern and the towel…… I thought it looked prim perfect!!  Speaking of prim perfect.  I made a few other purchases while I was at North Shore Primitives.  I bought  a couple candles and a few candle holders.  I saw those as soon as I walked in the front door and loved them.  Here is my favorite……

Here is the other one……

Here are a few other pictures that I took.  I changed my family room around so hopefully I will have some pictures coming soon.

Well, it is getting late and with this time change…… if I don’t get to bed soon then I won’t be able to function tomorrow.  Hope you all have a blessed week.

Until Next Time ~ Blessings, Lisa
