Today's antique/flea market finds:

3 salad plates - David Carter Brown "on the farm" - dishwasher and microwave safe by Oneida (not from China). Not sure if I will display or use - likely both. LOL.
Now I have some roosters too.

And they are very quiet, well-behaved fellows.








These little ones are gonna take some work. About 3" tall cast aluminum wall hangings, by Sexton USA 1971. DH will sandblast them so I could use them plain aluminum or repaint with a better technique.

Awesome finds! Do update us on the chicks.

Chicken baskets or been duped? A friend of mine called me from an antique market today and the folks selling these said they are chicken baskets - to cover a chicken to let them out and not run away....She got one for me - could make a rustic chandelier - but not sure if these are really chicken items or not. Anyone know??:idunno I could picture these in an asian market maybe? I'm gonna label mine "Chicken Jail" - for those bad gals when they show out..:D And need a little time out.

Yes, those are chicken baskets. I've never seen any other than the one I have. Where is the antique market? This is my chicken basket: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/957016/lets-share-our-chicken-decor/90#post_15036049
 
Here's some recent additions to my "coop" collection - all Flea Market/Antique Mill purchases.




A little light in the powder room - just had to add a light bulb and plug it up

The shade is a real wire frame - thought I was going to recover but it works perfectly with the colors already there.



Don't know what he is meant to hold - but for now has fake eggs to tend. He was a bargain for $5.00 - had planned to try to repaint but does well with the buffet table runner? (a few scratches and scuffs makes him more lovable). Maybe he can hold wrapped candies, napkins or cutlery? He did have a little odor from the place but some soap, water and a day outside fixed that :)


Cookie or Junk Jar?



Table lamp - the seller had spray painted everything all black - I liked it but could not find anywhere to use it. Saw the brass peeking through some scratches....So stripped it down to the original brass/copper/wood. The shade is a hard one without framing and an odd shape to redo- so thinking about adding a little antique gold accent or just leave it alone? It has two light sockets with pull chains - DH rewired it for me today with new light sockets.
I took the lamp apart and would advise anyone redoing and rewiring a multiple part lamp to photograph the process - reconstruction was interesting

I can't get the finial straight so decide to just leave it where it wants to stay. Guess one of those washers in the base should have been under the finial so it could turn?
