Very OLD and large antique pine blanket box with a gorgeous chipped paint patina.  It&#39;s a roomy piece - really holds a lot!  I used it in my bedroom to store duvets and blankets, and it served a dual purpose - also worked perfectly as a TV stand.  Still solid, you&#39;ll love this piece.  And the grey colour goes anywhere.  Good condition for it&#39;s age.

Mixed Media Art by Lynn McIlvride

Gorgeous antique copper boiler.  It&#39;s been outside during the summer months for the past few years and the green copper patina is starting! (Small holes have been drilled in the bottom so it can be used as a planter. See photos). Can be cleaned if desired to restore the copper finish.  Great outside for planting herbs but also great inside for blankets and pillows.  You&#39;ll enjoy the functional uses this old beauty has to offer. Good condition for it&#39;s age.

Antique Copper Boiler

Tumbled glass is a wonderful addition to any garden or any potted plant. Outdoors, it looks lovely and interesting in large garden areas, between rocks or in walkways.  It&#39;s an excellent alternative to rocks/pebbles.  Inside, it holds the moisture in the soil of potted plants so they don&#39;t need to be watered as much.  Over the winter I find once every 2 weeks is enough.  These pieces are all broken glass bits that can&#39;t be re-used, some of it from me, most of it collected from glass studios over the years.  It all goes into a giant tumbler to take off the sharp edges, and the result are some of the most interesting glass you&#39;ve ever seen!  AND I have lots more if you love this.
Excellent condition.

Set of two fantastic plasma cut chartruese trees created by local Uxbridge artist Dog Bite Steel.  They add a such a wonderful hit of colour anytime of the year, especially when the snow falls.  Perfect over the holidays, I put them inside and outside.  Love the paint splatters!  I should keep them but I have more and don&#39;t need quite so many.

Fantastic crazy cat by local Uxbridge artist Dog Bite Steel and his tiny mouse friend (artist unknown). The cat is plasma cut by hand from recycled oil cans.  Two holes are pre-drilled in the base if you choose to attach him (yes - a male) to a fence, which is where this guy has lived for years.  Awesome patina.  The tiny mouse is solid metal.  He has pointed feet which can be mounted on a fence/wood/wall using a hammer.  They&#39;ve been buddies outside for years - cat on top of the fence and the mouse crawling up the side.  Great pair!

Gorgeous set of old barn beams I&#39;ve used for 20 years on my front porch, but I&#39;ve used them inside as well.  Unfinished and can be refinished if you desire.  Fantastic for holding plants, and I&#39;ve also used them to display art.  Sturdy and solid pair.  LOVE them but it&#39;s time for someone else to enjoy them.  Excellent condition.

Charming group of metal flowers made by local Uxbridge artist Dog Bite Steel.  Their flowers are usually larger but these ones are smaller and so sweet.  Plasma cut from recycled oil tanks and handpainted.  Lovely in the garden or indoors.  Outside, the rebar goes directly into the ground and will hold them in place.  Inside, they need a vase/vessel to support them.  I&#39;ve used them outdoors in the summer months to hold up smaller drooping plants!  All three are the same size.  Very good condition.

The first larger piece is a beautiful 1978 Zephyr Studio art glass paperweight blue flowers with tendrils. Signed A003.  This is a very special piece.  I haven&#39;t seen another one like it.  The second smaller piece is what&#39;s called a &#34;Witches Ball&#34;.  Known for being mesmerizing to those who look at it, like a witches spell can do, this one is done with many millefiori pieces and encased in clear glass. This gives it a magnified effect. Unsigned but very collectible.  Both very difficult to create. Pristine condition. See photos.  Please bring packing materials.

Stunning bag made from genuine cowhide and white leather.  Purchased in Palm Desert 25 years ago!

Beautiful old pine wooden tool box filled with tumbled glass.  This is a smaller tool box than the orange one.
