Treasures









A few things we've found around the farm...
Embroidered Framed Bird

Can you still clean with products this old?


Saucers

Ruler; it's about 4 inches wide...for measuring feet, maybe?  There are also a lot of cobblers' tools around.  We think the family my have served as cobblers in the community.

Croquet!  Now all we need is a lawn that isn't buried in 4 feet of snow!


Parts of a box of "dry shod" line the back of the basement staircase.

Whiskey Jugs.  I guess "Ire" and "Lousey" were good enough to be named...but what about the middle bottle...

Meat saws.

A crate door found in the basement.  It says "Wabash Railway." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1887_Wabash_cover.jpg

Meat hook!

Add caption



Rum bottle.



This says "Water" down the side...

  1. We love to see what you are doing and what you have discovered! Your photography and captions are so interesting! Can you send me the photo of the tricycle? I want to paint it. Also, the saucers photo needs to be printed! We are amazed at what you have done and how you seem to be all around the farm. I am completely convinced this was the right purchase for you!
