Western Furniture - Wagon Wheel and Whiskey Barrel sets


We have two, yes two amazing vintage Western Living Room Furniture Sets! One has a wagon wheel design from the 1970s and the other has a Wooden Barrel design.  They are in remarkable condition and are obviously well built and made to last. The  naugahyde fabric is in excellent condition with relatively minor wear. The pictures below show these beauties!

First up is the Wagon Wheel Living Room set. While trying to find evidence of the maker of these fine pieces (still unanswered) I did find a date stamp on  the underneath of the green chair which was 1972 so that gave us a time frame. Similar sets online are said to be 50s or 60s. These sets will be posted on my Etsy store. You may also contact me via email for any questions.

These can be seen in our 50/50 Furniture Consignment store in Alliance, NE. We are about 4 hours from Denver, CO; 2 1/2 hours from Cheyenne, WY and 3 hours from Rapid City, SD. Worth the trip for either of these sets!



 The back of the sofa on this set drops down to make a quick bed. This six-piece set includes a sofa, two rocking chairs, one coffee table and two end tables





 A little loose stitching on the seat but really isn't this set in awesome condition








Next we have the beautiful 5-piece Wooden Barrel Living Room Set with full barrels designs under the coffee table and two end tables and half barrel sides on the sofa and love seat. A colorful diamond pattern is stitched across the backs. Not sure of the age of the grouping but it has a unique and great western vibe!







 This is the only significant wear on the sofas lower cushion on the far right toward the back. The cushions are attached on this set. It offers years of use and enjoyment!

Crochet - Barefoot Sandals

So, I decided in the spirit of summertime to make myself  some faux sandals, lol! I've worn them in the past and have a simple black pair but I love the pineapple stitch so found a pineapple motif that I modified to suit my needs.

The first pair in the lighter color have more stitches that I eliminated in the second pair. I just added a loop for the toe and another large enough to slip over my foot. My apologies for having to look at my feet! But perhaps it will inspire you to make a pair!


You could just add long laces to wrap around the ankle which would be easier to fit when making them for others.

Vintage Ceramic Stoneware Whimsical Castle and Dragons.

I love the whimsy of the figurines in this piece. A charming night light shaped like a castle with its tower spires and complete with two friendly dragons and maiden and her suitor or perhaps a prince and princess. Marked on the bottom M. Hagenson 1992. Enjoy!
This special piece is listed in my Etsy store here.

 This was taken with the room light off and a flash so you can see where the night light shines behind the maiden/princess in the window.












  The only damage I could see was the tail tip had been broken off at one time.
