My First Ever Barn Sale!

by

I’ve only ever seen them on television.
On shows like American Pickers.

But on our drive home from the airport to pick up our out of town guests, we ran across a Barn Sale!

A real live sale in an old barn. 


We spied the sign on the side of the road 
and Jim whipped that car right around.
(he’s hired!)
My sister said that is her kind of man!
LOL

I know the pictures are not very good.
But it was such a cool experience!!

This is another reason I have got to get a new phone.
I wish, wish WISH! I had more photos to show you.
My sister took these few at my urging.
Looking back, I should have grabbed her phone 
and snapped away!
She would not have cared.

Walking up, the entire yard was filled with 
good stuff.
The front of the barn was lined with cool old chairs. 
Totally vintage!

You could not really see inside, since it was so bright out… but as you approached you started to see the outline of furniture.

Amazing, antique furniture.
The really good stuff.

There was so much.
Everywhere you turned… you saw something even better, grander, older 
and more fabulous!! 
This popcorn machine was from the 1920’s and still worked. There had to be 2 dozen chairs hanging on one side of the barn alone. 

This Cigar Store sign was huge.
Pure Americana.
You can see the spots for the light bulb all around it too. And the plug off to the left.
It was one of the neatest things 
I have ever seen.
And it was pristine.
Had to be 10 feet long at least.
It hung on the side of the stairs going up to the 
Second Story.
(Have no idea what was up there???)
But I can imagine 🙂


Armoires, dressers, chairs, fireplace surrounds, wash basins, buckets, pails, beds, cast iron stoves (the real cooking kind), tables, so much, my head was spinning…

And… a completely dreamy white, chippy, vintage childs sized sled. Unfortunately, it was $100, or I would have taken it! 
I am sure it was worth every penny.

I could go one and on…
but without pictures.
It’s just not the same.

Wish you all could have been there with me.

  5. I so wish I was there! I am on the hunt for 2 chairs. It looks amazing…I could imagine myself spending hours there, pulling cobwebs out of my hair…because I would be on the second story, hunting for treasures.

  8. I’m excited for you! I’ve never been to one either and would love to! Yes, you need a new phone, I can only imagine the pictures you would have taken, I saw your practicing on FB 🙂

  9. Never been to one either. But I was eating it up as you described it. Sounds like an awesome experience. Some of the best antiquing I have ever done was in Ohio while on vacation. But we have a car, so we ( we means me) went nuts on the dishes!! And the glasses. 😉 We have a few of the genuine pieces of furniture, but there is always room for more!
