Collectables


What do you collect? I love roosters, clocks, and costume jewelry ( not to wear, just to ooh and ah over). 



Oohhh ahhhhh


My father-in-law collects old toys, but not just any old toy. It has to be tractors, like the these. 



What about train memorabilia? Or anything train related?






Or match books?


Vintage bottles





We even have US Postal collectables


It seems everytime I walk in the store there's something new.

Chippy Paint and You; A Love Story

CAN WE ALL JUST TAKE A MOMENT AND PICTURE THIS CHIPPY PAINT BEAUTY IN OUR HOMES?  This is just the right size for an entryway table, a buffet, a tv stand, a dresser, or make it into a bathroom vanity.  Adding a piece to your home with a crackled paint finish is a perfect way to take your eclectic style to the next level.  Consider a vintage door flipped sideways and used as a headboard.  I say leave all the vintage hardware on, bolt it to the wall, and bam! 10 minutes later and your bedroom has a whole different look.  This door is for sale in our shop for $59.00.  I've said it before, your best bet is always an antique store to find the right piece at the right price.  This vintage, chippy paint window is perfect for family photos!

Some you have to have because back in the day, women needed reminders to buy lard and borax. Really?? Yes.  Or because someone loved their baking soda enough to stitch the logo.

Think about how many actually survived, and what a reproduction would cost.  And some are made to look old that are funny or just cute.

For the Love of Roosters

Image
Where did our love affair with roosters start? Was it because grandma had a few or 10 in her kitchen? For many of us, yes. You see a ceramic, wooden, or picture of a rooster and it brings back memories, or just a good feeling. Roosters = home. It's hard for me to walk in our store and NOT walk out with one. Hubby decided the rooster collection had reached max capacity.  *my face* But for the rest of you, here's a whole lot of roosters we have for sale at Roadhouse Antiques that will getcha all warm and fuzzy inside.
