Some Fun Finds at Dwellings
Vintage swivel stools with burlap railroad bag seats.
I once knew a lady whose last name was Campbell. She had the neatest Campbell's Kids soup ads framed and hung in her eating area.
In a totally different direction...for all you guitar aficionados out there...
Ya'll, he's good!
The hutch pictured below is easily separated into two pieces.
This is a small set of drawers (below) that is begging for a new home!
I can see her on the back porch...painted white!
Just wanted you to see a few fun finds from Dwellings..Refined. Don't forget that we have two new truck loads of goodies that will be here on Wednesday at 10:00.
PS: Civil War enthusiasts...I may have a CW bullet maker. This won't last long!

Blackeye Beans Tops
Old pitiful tops to very heavy old swivel stools (pictured above.)
"Fabric" of choice...two old railroad bean bags!
I LOVED them and knew they'd look great on the stools.
I know they are a little "puffy" around the edges...
But you do what you gotta do.
Someone said they look like old Coke bottle tops!
Yep, they surely do! I added some black twisted welting...cute!
Will post pics in the shop today!
Book bundles (below) are flying off the shelf! Literally! Had to restock twice yesterday!
Let me do your legwork...4 pretty vintage books for $5! You really need these for your decorating projects! (Hint: they are so much nicer than those old paperbacks or NEW books!)
Come visit us soon!
Hours: W-Sat: 10 until 5 ; Sun: 1-5

Top Ten Collectibles of 2012 & Decorating Tips
From Hattiesburg: Go north on hwy 49. Just outside of Florence, MS. you will pass Magnolia & Hwy. 49 Flea Markets on your left. The brick building just past the Flea Markets on your left is Dwellings. You will have to go to the next little "turn left" area to come back to Dwellings
This Fire King casserole dish and separate underplate is a rare find.
Zoom in for details.
If you are a collector of FK, we have a small table of Fire King.
We are working on this area daily.
This entire vintage wooden tray's design is made from actual butterfly wings!
I saw another one similar in West Monroe and our price is better!
When "picking" an old warehouse recently, I found this OLD blackboard nailed to the wall.
Speaking of "pickers"... American Pickers has NOTHING on us...
Our pickers find the most unusual, fun stuff!
Not sure why, but I've always been fascinated with "little" items.
Silver plate has been named one of the top ten collectibles for 2012.
One of the most sought after top ten is Cow creamers.
We have a wide array of pressed glassware, some cut and colored.
Decorating Tip: Use what you have! Old mismatched granite ware lids are displayed on a small shelf which is displayed within an old window frame! This works well for old china lids also. How about buying a piece of board and putting it into the old frame and spraying it with chalkboard paint? This window is its original color. I have 4 more paned windows right now...two are in very good condition, and two are a little tattered!
Vintage lures are displayed in our case and on old barn wood..
All things Rooster and Chicken!!
Super duper old wagon wheel...we have other parts from this wagon also.
For the tobacco tins and boxes collector...
From one picking expedition..

Merry Christmas From Dwellings
We have the answer to all your gift needs...so much to show... I will just give you a snapshot of some things that might interest you. Small glass containers are perfect for "wrappers" for your baked goods....plan to spend $5-$10 on a vintage piece.
We have lots of pretty glassware..this is one small section.
Lanterns are $25.00 and are the most versatile of decorations...use them year-round.
This vintage lighted secretary is so pretty...
leave it natural or paint it...either way, you will love it.
It has glass shelves and a drawer in addition to the writing surface. Price: $200.00
Vintage books fashioned into re-purposed table decorations. Several have holes that hold votive holders. If you would like one with pictures of your family on front...just let me know. Special orders for the ones with pictures are $20...others range from $9 to $15.00.
Metal buggy for all your decorating needs...this is a large item and would hold lots of pumpkins, pots of flowers or serve as an outside Christmas container.
I re-purposed this old bird feeder as a little tabletop log cabin. The red fence goes all the way around and there are bottle brush trees and a wreath over the front door. Price: $22....cute for bird lovers.
Vintage wood burned and painted blanket chest is waiting on a new home. I think it would be a great window bench or coffee table. Chests like these were usually flat, but bun feet or square feet would look wonderful and give her just the lift she needs. Price: $150.00.
How fun is this set? Old wooden spools fashioned into a playroom table and stools! Wonderful colors...price: $65.00.
On Saturday and Sunday, I will be available to make your holiday bows.
Call me for details: 601 966-7305
Price: $3.00 per bow
Come by and have some coffee and shop. At first I was so excited, that I followed everyone around and talked entirely too much...I promise I will leave you to shop until your heart's content! Merry Christmas!
Hope your days are merry and bright,
Angela
