Don't forget to visit

Selma for their

 38th Annual Railroad Days this weekend.  

We've been here for 14 years and each year the Saturday morning parade gets better and bigger!!  

Lots of family activities, games rides, face painting along with crafters and antiques.  Hungry?  Wait until you see all the food vendors!  

We open after the parade, usually by 11 a.m. and will stay open at least until 6 p.m., longer if the day is still busy.

So, Remember to STOP ON BUY and have a visit with us this weekend.

See you at Railroad Days.  Enjoy the fun!

We're NOT ..."One of THOSE"... Antique Shops

I heard that expression the other day and I have to say it applies to us beautifully.  

Sure I'd like to sell the ten-thousand dollar corner cabinet but we are more comfortable with the everyday kitchen Hoosier or Barn Door (by the way we have both).  Like we said last week, 

"We have JUNK for your TRUNK".  

Fun and funky.  Trashy Treasures.  Comfortable finds.  We won't break your bank.  Come on out and have some fun!

(personally, I like the repurchase the best!)

The Weather is Great!  Come Visit with us!

Love this weather.  We have the doors open and nice cool breeze coming through.   Take a stroll through Selma and visit with us!

That's RIGHT ....   We've Got "JUNK" For Your "TRUNK"!!

Love the bright colors to go with the wonderful weather.

How about a 5 foot tall MID CENTURY standing yellow swivel lamp for $95

Tartans are always cheery aren't they?

How about a vintage COOLER, never used, New Old Stock  for $38

Always room for one more colorful piece of PYREX!

 A farm table with colorful glasses!

And YES!!! Here at Reid's Country Sampler we DO have EVERYTHING ....including the kitchen SINK!!

Make A Fair Offer

We have a couple of LARGE pieces of furniture that have "Make a Fair Offer" sign on it.  That means what it says.  I can't take a dollar but if it's fair and reasonable, it's yours! 

The first piece is a solid blind front corner cupboard - c - 1940 in Great shape!

7' tall by 3'8" wide

The second piece is newer and even larger and also in great shape.  It is in two pieces.

(thank goodness, it makes it easier to transport). 

7'8" tall by 8'3" wide

Both pieces started out at $2,800.  Neither has a makers mark.  Both came out of estates in the Selma/Smithfield area.  Both sellers are motivated to move it!

If you are interested in either of these pieces give us a call or drop on by to view them.  We're open 7 days a week!

SEEKERS

Okay Folks…. I know TWO blogs in two days are more than I sometimes do for weeks but I just had to share the new booth with all of you.   

At the very top of the third floor you’ll find the “SEEKERS” booth.  I mentioned them earlier.  They have now fully moved in.  You want it?  They’ll SEEK it!   

(TWO, count them... TWO  stand up Radios!)

These new dealers spent the whole day in this muggy weather unloading, schlepping up stairs and setting up their new booth.  

WOW!   

 Peachy pink full size iron bed with center medallion $200 SWEET!

So glad to have them on board here at Reid’s Country Sampler in Selma, NC.  I think I might have to spend some of my own money on a treat or two.  Love it!  Love it!  Love it!!!!!!

Lady Head Vases

HEADS UP!

( $295)

Lady Head Vases were popular in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.   

($145)

Both ultimate in style and grace these little beauties portrayed the desirable look women were after during this time period. 

($195 )

Head vases were also made as men, animals, clowns and children but it is the desirable ladies that most collectors are after. 

( $250)

Originally made as accessories for florists to be sold and delivered with flowers, plants and occasionally plastic flowers, these ladies are now gracing the shelves and showcases of many a collector. 

($200 )

Most popular are the vases with long eyelashes and jewelry.  Little pearl earrings and necklaces, sweeten the deal for the buyer.

($195 )

Price point…..$20 and up and up.  Some, like these beauties will sell in the hundreds, some will hit the thousand dollar range!

 ($195 )

August

Well, you may be wondering "Where'd she go?"  The blogs have dwindled to almost nothing.  

Daddy's passing took a lot out of us here at Reid's. We miss him greatly.  Thank you to all of you who have come by to give us condolences.  He loved his customers.  It's very comforting to know they remember him too.

So now I'm back at work and hopefully I'll make up for lost time in the blogging department.

We have new dealers up on the third floor setting up.  Looks Country Primitive with a Victorian flair.  Yummy!  Ask for booth "SEEKERS".

Leaving us after 10 years booth "W" is retiring from the Antique business to go hug some grandchildren.  How could I ever compete with a grandchild?

BYE LUANNE!  WE'LL MISS YOU!!  

New in are TWO antique gas pump front panels for your MAN CAVE!
