Booth Update: Riverbend Antique Mall

I haven't posted any booth photos in a while, so here's an update on some recent changes.


First, the most exciting addition, at least to me, is this stove: a 1920's or 30's "Favorite" brand gas stove. This first pic is how it looked on the porch where we found it:





And these are after it's cleaned up and set up in our booth. Isn't it a beauty? I do not know if it works or not--the man said it was working when they took it out of a lady's house a few years ago, but who knows. These stoves are so simple though---no pilot lights, just light with a match. So basically all one needs to do is make sure all the connections are tight and the orifices are clean, and it should work fine. I love that Jadeite green color!



The top can be lowered over the burners to make more counter space, and actually this whole stove could be used as counter space and storage, and not for cooking at all.

We've had this sweet little table a while. I marked it down cheap-cheap yesterday because I do not want to paint it. It's just too perfect as it is. It even has porcelain wheels.


I finished this shelf the other day, It was originally a desk, but the fold-down door was missing, and it had a few other issues so I painted it--it's solid oak. But it makes a gorgeous shelf, I think.


 Cute little sewing box, a tabletop wood barrel butter churn and other fun things here.






That's a large lace tablecloth hanging on the cupboard door.


Hankies, hankies--they are a steady good seller for me. I just added quite a few to the rack.









 Another just-finished project, this little stand. I love this shade of blue-green.



The long view into one booth:


and into our large booth:




Still waiting for someone to love this little dresser as much as I do.


That's the quick tour of most of the changes. I'll add more photos soon, as we still have a dresser to add today.

  1. Hi Sue - you both work so hard and your booths just sing. Love seeing what and how you display your stock. Wonderful green stove addition. Liked seeing your hankies display - easy to see and reach. Great finds.

  2. If only my house were larger, I'd take that adorable stove. So simple and functional. I need a house just for antiques!!
