SOLD- vintage schoolhouse room number thingys- $58/each

as great as these are, i just don't know exactly what to call them. what i do know, however, is this. these 3 unique relics were salvaged from the old John Hay Elementary school on Queen Anne which opened its doors to the children on the hill in 1905. these gorgeous glass-faced, numbered frame things hung in the hallway outside each classroom door, and listed the class roll and the teacher in charge. all of the wood and glass is in fantastic shape, as are the real sweet numbers painted onto each one. i sort of envision them repurposed as menu/sign displays (if you own a cool restaurant or cafe), art frames, or.... perhaps they should remain as schoolhouse room number thingys.

antique wagon wheels- set of 3- $225

i know it just snowed last night and the last thing you're probably thinking about right now is beautifying your yard/garden. (or maybe it's all you think about, night and day) but, i'm here to remind you that it's never too early to get prepared- as soon as the sun shines, you'll be all set to dig in and accessorize. and what better accessory to start with than wagon wheels??! a wagon wheel is only as Hee-Haw as you allow it to be, and can instead be the sturdy, good looking centerpiece to your rustic, sweet, urban oasis. these three old, wooden-spoked and iron-rimmed wheels are beastly heavy, yet gracefully show off their years of history. i'm not sure if they came from a wagon, buggy, or motorized vehicle, but they're clearly ready to live out their golden years in your garden, gazing at all the beauty you create. have a heart- adopt all 3 (or 1 or 2) today. set of 3 is $225, or $85/each.

SOLD white industrial aluminum stool & primitive wooden step stool- $51/$21

STOOL SOLD- i dug up this random pair of vintage stools from the basement of a rambler on the northern edge of seattle. the home belonged to a gentleman whose family owned a 3rd generation apothecary/pharmacy here in town, and was filled with all manner of incredible finds. the tall aluminum stool is painted white, yet you can see an occasional glimpse of the shiny aluminum frame beneath. it's literally the lightest stool i've ever seen- i bet it weighs less than 2 pounds- so it's effortlessly simple to move about. the wooden step stool is clearly a handmade, woodshop project from back in the day. its simplicity is its charm, and will fit in well with whatever style you've got going on in your home. both stools are hearty, and ready to go.
