Try Lehman's hardware, they have a website, too. Sometimes the prices are high, but they do have a lot of really neat, hard to find stuff. There is also the Cumberland General Store catalog, very similar to Lehman's.

The Country Store, 800-558-1013. Mostly clothing, but they do have some accessory items.

Hi Kelly,

You might want to try some auctions.Look for the old wooden rakes,flour,salt,sugar,+feed sacks.Make some dried wildflower bouqets and tie a pretty ribbon around them and hang them up.Look for old,interesting ads in old magazines,etc.Maybe find a really old ball blue book and frame some of the pictures there.Go to the craft fairs and find things you like,then go home and try to duplicate them and give them your own twist.Catalog prices are usually pretty high- even for those not on strict budgets.Maybe you could even come across one of those lovely old bubble frames and put a dried arrangement therein.Of course ,if you're looking for useful as well as decorative then you may not have much choice.Catalogs.[I would love to have one of those lovely oak juice presses!Way too expensive!]

"Good Luck" and God Bless,

HI KELLY. I JUST GAVE AWAY ALL MY COUNTRY DECORATING MAGAZINES. I WISH YOU HAD WRITTTEN SOONER. BUY SOME OF THE COUNTRY DECORATING MAGAZINES. USE YOUR IMAGINATION. HANG CANDLES FROM THE STAIRWAY OR OVERHEAD. ON HOLIDAYS BUY A YARD OR TWO OF FABRIC AND PUT IT ON THE TABLE. I HAVE ORANGE ON OURS. PICK UP INEXPENSIVE ARTIFICAL FLOWERS AND HAVE THEM MATCH YOUR TABLECLOTH. DECORATE ANY WINE BOTTLES WITH RIBBON .OURS ARE HEADING DOWN THE STAIRS. YOU CAN ALSO PICK UP A YARD OF MATERIAL AND MAKE NAPKINS. WELL I WISH YOU THE BEST. GOD BLESS
