Well. This is just a neat sale all around. An old farmhouse of sorts (even though it’s brick– humor me here). There’s an old creepy barn out back — who knows WHAT in the world is out there…… I tried to take as many pictures as possible but something touched my leg and I ran. RAN I tell you. :::gulp:::::

China, like art, is a very personal taste. Royal Tettau, Annette is a very good choice in my opinion because it lets you mix and match with other more colorful patterns. Annette comes in a gold rim or a platinum rim. It’s a good base for china collectors who actually use their porcelain treasures to entertain. Take me away Doris Day! ::::twirling::::::
I tend to find this type china in homes where people were in the armed forces and spent time in Europe during WWII.

A history of sorts on Royal Tettau
I have many friends who are professional artists. Canvases can become expensive especially if you are painting larger pieces of art. Many artists frequent estate sales, thrift shops, garage sales, etc and buy painted canvases of an unfortunate looking nature (ugly as mud). They reuse these canvases – easy peasy.
GESSO is a substance that you can buy or make. It’s much like thick primer white painte. You just take a brush or roller and paint over the old canvas and voila’! A blank canvas to create your master piece!
Here’s an instructional video — just one of many out there. <<< VIDEO>>>>
Here’s how to make your own Gesso at home <<<GESSO AT HOME>>>> google it as well — tons of videos out there!
Now go paint!
When you hear this term ‘hairpin legs’ what comes to mind? And no …not my legs! he he he Most think of mid-century furniture. I think of my aunt and uncles home — where hairpin legs ruled. Interestingly enough I didn’t care for the style much — and even now I only like it on certain pieces; like the one above for example.
Hairpin legs were actually created by Henry P. Glass in 1941. Taken from the website Mad for Mid-Century (great resource by the way).
The history of hairpin legs starts with them being invented by Henry P. Glass in 1941. Hairpin legs were a true war-time invention; their design limited the amount of material needed while keeping the strength of traditional legs. A true form meets function story.
Glass talked about the history of his hairpin legs in an interview:
[Russel Wright] liked my work and when, in 1941, he launched his campaign “American-Way,” he honored me with an important assignment, to design a complete line of wrought iron furniture. I created a rather startling group of tables, chairs, sofas, etc., which commanded immediate and favorable attention in the trade press, particularly Home Furnishings Daily. Its editor-in-chief, Alfred Auerbach, coined the name “Hairpin Group” because of the shape of the steel wire legs. It was a great success, mainly in the media. I don’t know how much of this furniture was actually sold in stores. It certainly created a trend. Countless furniture pieces of all kinds were put on hairpin legs for several years. Samples of this group are in the collection of several museums, such as the College for Applied Arts in Vienna and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Here are some more examples of hairpin leg furniture pieces. You can buy hairpin legs and add to new pieces as well. Enjoy your finds at estate sales! #EstateSalesRock

Everyone has ‘their thing’. Collections that is. My collections are hard wired. I love sailboat/ ship models, dog figurines, and flying pigs. Don’t judge. Just ask my husband about my shoe collection. When we first began dating — and he eventually peeked into my closet —- I remember watching him as he opened the door and sort of stumbled back a bit. His eyes opened wider and his mouth dropped to his chest. I stood there blinking wondering what in the world he was gawking at. Softly he muttered – ‘I’ve never seen so many shoes in my life!’ I stood there blinking even faster as a pout emerged……. Huh? I stated gently – ‘I’m a girl — I must have choices.’ Point made. Ahem.
Back to my story here. I adore dog figurines. For me adding something to my collection isn’t about the label or brand – which isn’t the case for many. For me it’s what strikes my fancy. It can have a broken ear — which makes me wrinkle my nose and think ‘ahhh — he just needs love and to be repaired’. No ryhme or reason here. Which my husband will attest to readily. It’s not that it’s a Royal Doulton or Made in Occupied Japan, or whatever…it’s just what makes me happy. That’s what true collecting is about. What floats your boat! However, there’s also the element into identifying these collections that we take into our lives and homes (much to a spouses chagrin at times — hehehe). Even a broken figurine (which I’ll tell you how to repair such) has character. Perfect is quite boring sometimes. I bond with my little fellas.
More commonly seen are Staffordshire Dogs . Royal Doulton is another well known collectible for many things. There are many more as you well know.

To REPAIR your treasures — here are a few helpful sites. I use fingernail polish (it’s glazed and works much like cermaric paint.)
Collections are obtained to surround yourself with things that make you happy, inspire you. Your home is like a nest. Put in it things (and people) that bring pleasure.
