    The Rural Society Antique And Garden Show

    Published by Pam Kessler | 301 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 28 Comments

    I thought you might enjoy some scenery from the farm sale this last weekend. There seems to be more and more of these types of sales cropping up around here (cropping = farm talk) and I just love them. It's all about the ambiance of the farm, you know. Being out in the country, driving down a dirt road, stepping in "mud" patties.

    And nothing says farm sale like a vintage truck and pumpkins.

    Green truck with pumpkins in the back of the bed.

    Loved the bed filled with pillows. With a parasol in case it gets too sunny for you while taking your afternoon nap.

    Crib made into a daybed.

    The pillows were only $20.00, I think. Should have grabbed one up.

    Pillows made from vintage grain sacks.

    Oh, look they had silver!!!

    Basket full of silver plated serving places and tea sets.

    I thought this pumpkin display idea was sort of cute. Just the right combination of fancy and farmy.

    Silver plated tea sets with pumpkins and hay in them.

    This dog is one of those vintage carnival chalkware pieces like the one I received in February. I like these kinds of quirky things to put around the house to liven it up a bit.

    This display was very ingenious with its use of old school supplies. I didn't notice until now that the globe is upside down. I think that pointy continent is supposed to be Africa.

    Globe with artist supplies in a vintage setting.

    This prim dealer had a cute little pair of boots.

    Old boots for sale at a antique fair.

    I was sort of captivated by these huge dried weedy things. I wonder if they are garlic or something.

    Dried flowers in a glass jar.

    OK, enough about the farm sale.

    Did you see the news story about the slew of exotic animals that got loose and are running amuck in Eastern Ohio? They've closed the schools in the area and they have SWAT teams and Jack Hanna of the Columbus Zoo on the scene trying to help wrangle them. Sort of surreal. I'm about 45 minutes from there, so hopefully no tigers will make it this far.

      Cute sale! I wish we had more events like that around these parts. Oh, those animals escaping was so sad! Poor things had to be shot. How scary that must have been!

      That silver set is so pretty. It reminds me of the one my mom used to have, and when she passed away, it was handed down to my sister. The picure of the pumpkins was so colorful and charming.
