More Primitiques Fun

Cluck. Moo. Quack.

It's always fun to set David loose with his camera in Primitiques. He has a neat perspective. Just thought I'd share a few of his pics. You can go here to see the rest.

Here's a close up of those Tony Lama boots.

And here's a better shot of the dish rack/chicken feeder.

Me and my power shot took the rest of these photos. You can go here to see all of the pictures in my Primitiques photo set. I thought I'd show a new use for a locker with the door removed. Great for dishes!
I like the look of silver against the wood.

And here's a better shot of that Tom's jar.

I thought the math flash cards added a little whimsy to the front of the store. And that architectural piece rocks, doesn't it?

Happy Monday!

  7. Tricia, he is good, isn't he?

    Cher, David and I turned those boots all but inside out, looking for a size. None listed anywhere! When I am at the store in the morning, I will put them on and see if I can make an estimation. It's about time you came to Poetry anyway, isn't it???

  8. Love the typewriter in the case. Tres Cool!!! Check on the inside close to the front on the boots. The size is usually close to the maker's name. It's looking great. Tn'T

  9. Debbie, glad you like the typewriter in case. Believe it or not, I have the little black, key covers for each key, as well. Wild! Also, funny. David told me where to look, after I had looked. And then he looked. And I'm telling you, unless they printed it where the toes are, it ain't there. Amazing. ~Mindy

  11. That really is amazing. I've never seen a pair that didn't have the size in them. I'm gonna guess you checked the bottom, too? I also don't think I've seen key covers either. Yippee!! I learned something new-I get to live another day. Tn'T

  12. There are some random numbers, but nothing that made sense to me or my smart, Aggie boyfriend. The bottoms have been resoled, so, there's no telling. The key covers are metal and fit perfectly over each key. Wild. Glad I could contribute to your learnin', Debbie. ;-) ~Mindy

  14. Is there a series of #, then a letter by chance?

  15. Debbie. Maaaaybe. I am going to meet a customer at Primitiques in the morning. I will examine the boot thoroughly. Try it on to estimate a size. Measure the length of the sole. And I'll write each and everything down that I see. Sounds like you may be onto something. Can't wait to hear! ~Mindy

  16. I want to shop there! I live in France and everyone wants to come here to do antiquing and I of course want to do th opposite! That peanutbutter sandwich jar is divine!

  17. Marie Reed, France? Welcome!

    THE BOOTS. I wore size 8 boots up to Primitiques and lined them up with the Tony Lama's. They appear to be the very same length. If anything, the Tony's are a touch shorter. Inside the left boot is printed 243-r-3,29370,064185,175,170,170. Right boot: 170,170,2930,064185,243-R03,29370. Debbie? What do you know? ~Mindy

  19. Pretty dishes with pink roses on your feeder. How cute. Are the 2 scalloped edge plates ironstone or china? Kinda hard to tell from here.

  22. This looks like a place where I'd like to spend some time and even a little bit of money. That chicken feeder as dishrack was genious.
