Our old farmhouse 

We have an old New England Farmhouse with an attached barn

 

Stored in our old barn

Today I decided to start taking inventory of things I have stored in our old barn.  Through the years I have collected many old and primitive items with the thought of refinishing or restoring them.  I have put some things to good use and sold some things on ebay, but I still have many items.  My youngest Grandson has started to show an interest in some of the old things, so some things will be passed down to him.

Our old barn was at one time a workshop and gift barn that my husband and I ran.  Many years ago we decided to close the business and parts of the barn are frozen in time.  

I designed and painted this wall hanging angel. 
This angel now hangs in a bedroom - it is a pleasant memory of our past business

This is an old antique wringer that was used on wash day, some pieces are missing but it is an interesting part of yesterday. This old piece was hidden under my husbands table saw.

This is a handmade birdhouse, made by a retired man who lived in Winthrop
We use to sell these birdhouses for him.
Nice memories of days gone by

Another birdhouse - this one is made of cedar

These are a few old farm pulleys we have collected through the years, my Grandson likes the old pulleys, so we are giving them to him for his collection

I just love this old hand crafted apothecary cabinet with the finger jointed drawers.  The cabinet was never completed or finished.  It was my intentions to complete the job....maybe one day I will get around to it.

Well, Thank you for stopping by my blog and looking inside the barn.  I know there are still so many special things.  I just love old things and I especially enjoy preserving them for the next generation.
