Here are some of the totally groovy vintage finds that Chris and I will be bringing to Clover Market on Sunday.
This is a Rem Line tool chest, that would make an excellent drink cart. (Is it wrong that I am using a child's chalk board to announce the drink of the day? Oh, well. Hopefully, the kids at Clover Market can't read.)
There are even divided drawers for your napkins and wine openers.
And another cart - this one is gray-painted wood on wheels. Along with a chippy First Aid box, wire shopping basket, step ladder and a "Kiss Me" orange crate from Kissimmee, Florida. It is a little creepy. I have a feeling that the kids on the label are brother and sister.
Continuing the "on wheels" trend, here is a huge grocery store display cart with wire baskets. Use it for kids toys. Or craft supplies. Or yarn. Or shoes. I don't care what the hell you use it for. Buy it because it is cool.
Each basket is adjustable:
For those of you (SueLa) who thought my enamelware turkey platter should be relegated to the kiddie table, here is a photo of said kiddie table. It is a tween-sized folding metal table, with a set of four school chairs. AND A TOTALLY AWESOME TURKEY PLATTER.
My favorites...two farmstand painted signs. A two-sided Peaches sign, and a Cider sign. They are huge...way taller than me. But I'm only 5' 4", so that's not saying much.
These are never-used paper signs from a grocery store, circa 1948. I think they would look so cute in a kitchen.
I might hang the Sani-Flush one in my bathroom as a gentle reminder to my family to flush the damn toilet.

Ignore the next paragraph if you live thousands of miles away.
If you are local...are you coming to Clover? Is there something that you saw on my blog that you want me to bring? Shoot me an email. We would love to bring everything in our garage, but that ain't happening. If you have an undying need for something specific, let me know and I will stuff it into the back of the camper. Along with an unholy amount of other stuff. Just don't drive behind us - the bumper of our camper will probably be making sparks along Route 1.
I am in love with that grocery store display cart. How much? By the way, I also have a booth at Clover on Sunday. It's usually so busy there that I don't get a chance to walk around. If I do, I'll come say hi!

For the love of coincidence, I have that (almost exact) same tool chest and yes! that little handle on the side is perfect for a martini towel. And would you just fold up that rolling grocery cart and mail it to me, please? I'm good for it. Promise.

I don't WANT the grocery display rack. I NEED it, does that make any difference? I'll pay cash. I'll give you children (already bore, potty trained even.) where is ardmore, pa? I live in OH. Anyway, best wishes for a great show. That first aid cab is awesome too. So is the metal/martini stand. So is the peaches. . .

Just found your blog and you had me at typewriter stand! Love your colorful language, fab finds and funny stories. We are kindred spirits! Wish I could be at Clover today.
Check out my website/blog where I recently found a great old typewriter stand for $5. http://www.eclecticallyvintage.com/my-blog.html
