NEW VIGNETTES AT BINKY LA FAYE

We re-did some displays at Binky la Faye a couple of weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting pictures.

 

This is our "potting shed area (just in case you missed it spelled out on the chalk board). The base of our vignette is a primitive zinc topped dry sink ($135) and a tin topped work table (also $135).

 

This rusty and wonderful toy Texaco Gas Pump sold right away. It went to a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg, Texas.

 

The framed roses ($34), working vintage fan ($38) and vintage scale ($98) are up for grabs!!

 

The "cyclone"seed sower ($12.50)

 

 

Great old chicken nester ($125)

 

 

Love the old antlers that were home mounted with old pink damask and painted T E X A S ($32.50)

 

 

Wonderful origianl alligator finish on this sweet little doll chest of drawers(45.)

Collection of vintage pipes($6.50 to $12.50 each)

 

Look at these precious little child's cowboy boots!($38.)

 

and there's more, so I'll show you those in a few days.

SNAPSHOTS OF THE SHOP FEBRUARY 2013

Although I appreciate the asthetic of mid-century looks it has never been a style I personally wanted in my home. We do sometimes have a few pieces in the shop that we just can't pass up at estate sales and flea markets. This Vintage leather and teakwood West Nova scandanavian chair is a case in point.Ok, Ok, The look is sorta growing on me,probably not ever for my home, but I think it's a great look for a man cave or a younger couple just starting out.

I know I showed you a shot of this cement mixer yesterday. This is a look that I totally love. I really almost kept it. I was going to put a weathered piece of round wood on top and use the cement mixer as a sort of pedestal for our t.v. If it doesn't sell pretty soon, I many just have to do that.

This is some lighting that Ron put together. These all sold right away. He is working on more, hope to show you those in a day or so.

More snapshots of the store coming soon!!
