ABOUT US

My photo
NEBRASKA, United States
I have learned and developed many tips, shortcuts and secrets over 37 years while running an antique refurbishing business. I love auctions and repurposing the things no one seems to want. It's my desire to stimulate or encourage your interest in refurbishing wood furniture,rescuing,repurposing and creating useful items for your home. Every piece of wood has a distinct and unique characteristic that must be recognized. Nothing can be manufactured with the beauty of natural grain and patina of wood.

WEEK END BARGAIN FIND

Here is an absolutely beautifuly done hand embroidered
 picture I got at an estate auction for only $2.00!! Yes you still can  find a treasure for very little. It was very dirty and the frame was really beat up. I would say it is probably is from the 1950's. I very carefully hand washed it and flat dried it.
While it was drying I touched up the frame with brown liquid shoe polish. Let that dry and then re assembled back to original.
 I appreciate the love and care that went into this
kind of handy work and I especially love birds. I have included  a close up of an area so you can see the exquisit
quality. I have proudly displayed it in my sewing room.
