Shoppin’ the barn!

On Thursday night, Jen and I thought we would shop Daddy’s barn to see if we could find any treasures.

We have all the tools one could need on the front of the 4 wheeler and our sweat rag and work gloves ready to go too.   And of course, our little buddy Jake wanted to come along for the adventure. 

Before we went down to the barn, we had to go to our house to do a few things. 

Like, pick our last cantaloupe…

See me…in the “garden”?  What happened to this?

When we got to the barn we were so anxious to get in there and see what we could find!  Jen, the strong one, was able to unwind the wire on the cattle panel. Dad warned me, but that thing was hard to undo! 

  

So, here  is a look at some of the “vintage” items we found…

“Antique Lawn Chairs”

They might need a little duct tape, but still in great condition!

Golf Clubs

Good as new!  I can’t imagine that a little bird poo and dust would hurt your swing too much.

Bicycle

Take your pick!  Banana seat or no banana seat. 

Mom said the banana seat bike used to be hers.

Motorcycle

Wanna go for a ride?

Vintage Lamp

I seriously think this is cool.  I am still thinking on what I could do with it!

Jen is in deep thought! 

One of two boats…

Your paddle/oar or mine?

 

Metal Framed Twin Bed

I have one similar to this that Daddy had already given me that is red.  Maybe Hayden will get to use it one day!  I think it is so cool looking!

Spiders and crickets galore!

Jen only freaked out a little.  She only said, “That is the biggest spider I have ever seen” about 143 times.  :-)  Don’t let the picture fool you.  It was a pretty darn big spider!

Vintage Shutter Cabinet

We pondered over opening this cabinet up for a while. We finally got our big girl panties on and went for it!  Other than the bottom missing out of it, it wasn’t too scary in there! 

Cow Skull

I thought Jen and I were going to have a fist fight over who was getting to take this one home!

Milk Jug

This thing was so heavy.  We had to move it out of the way so we could get into the Vintage Shutter Cabinet.  Goodness.  I can’t imagine caring that thing around full of milk!

Spencer Street Signs

I think these are so cool!  Daddy got these when the City of Greenville was changing out their street signs.  (Spencer is my maiden name).

Old Toy Car Hauler

I was so excited when I saw this.  This goes right along with the theme of Hayden’s new room!  I think it is even cooler that it came from my family!

Coke Wooden Crate and Glass Bottles

Jugs??

Old Wooden Doors

I am still studying on what we could do with these also!

Part of Wagon Wheels

Baseballs and Golf Balls

Jen was excited to find these.  She is doing some neat things with them in Hudson’s room!

Don’t you think there were some real treasures in there? 

Lesson learned: 

Go shop your Daddy’s barn.  You never know what you might find!
