From the Barn to the Booth: This Week’s Finds – There’s something about going through boxes in the barn… you never really know what you’re going to come across. This week, it definitely paid off.
While digging around, I pulled out a set of old barn door rollers and a few iron pulleys. Heavy, worn, and exactly the kind of pieces I’m always drawn to. You can tell they were used, not just stored away—and that’s what makes them interesting.
I brought them into the booth for this week’s refresh, and they fit right in.

📌 Barn Door Rollers & Old Iron
The rollers especially caught my eye. Solid, rusty, and still full of character. Pieces like this are simple, but they carry that real farm history with them.
The iron pulleys are the same way—functional pieces at one time, now something you can display or repurpose. I like mixing these kinds of finds in with everyday decor. They add a little weight and texture that newer items just don’t have.

📌 Mixing Handmade with Vintage
One thing I’ve always loved is blending handmade pieces in with vintage finds.
You’ll see that throughout the booth—older items like the rollers and pulleys mixed in with newer handmade pieces. It keeps things from feeling too one-note and makes each space a little more personal.
Not everything has to match… it just has to work together.

📌 A Look at This Week’s Booth Refresh
Along with the farm finds, I added a mix of other pieces I’ve been working through—some vintage, some handmade, all with a bit of character.
That’s usually how it goes… a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
And honestly, that’s what makes it fun.
📌Until Next Time…
I still have plenty more boxes to go through in the barn, so I’m sure there are more finds waiting.
We’ll see what turns up next week.
