New Dollhouse Furniture Added to Raw Vintage

I have just added some new super cute vintage dollhouse furniture to the shop.  They were found this past weekend at a Roman (Rome, Georgia) yard sale off of  Horse Leg Creek Road, where the rich folk live.




This super cute dollhouse patio set has been dated to late 1950s or early 1960s. It is in used vintage condition with some repair needed on two of the chairs. The label on the back of the couch is Made in Western Germany.

Measurements

Couch - 3 1/2 inches high and 3 1/4 inches wide

Chairs - 4 1/2 inches high and 3 1/4 inches wide

Armchair - 3 1/4 inches high and 3 inches wide

Patio table - 3 1/4 inches long and 4 inches wide

Coffee table - 2 3/4 inches long and 4 3/4 inches wide








Well made vintage dollhouse furniture. This dollhouse furniture was dated around the late 1950s or early 1960s. The furniture is in used vintage condition. The top of the table has some blue paint on it. I can find nothing else wrong with this set. This set also comes with a chair. I did not include the chair in the photos because it is missing a leg. The legs of the chair are the same as the other furniture. Please let me know if you would like a picture of the chair.

Hutch - 8 1/2 inches high and 6 3/4 inches wide

Table - 4 1/2 inches high and 6 3/4 inches wide

Chair - 5 inches high and 3 3/4

Those Dang Birds

I usually take my product photos on the front porch. It has nice light and a simple backdrop.  However, I was recently forced out from this area by an angry mama bird that had just hatched some babies in the porch's light fixture.  The conditions there became unsafe for me to shoot when the mama bird started diving around my head any time I got near the porch.  I have since had to start taking photos inside or near a metal barn.  Hopefully the birds will leave soon and I can resume photographing in my favorite spot.


 The nest in the light fixture.  Their mud-spitting, nest making has made a mess of the ceiling. 


 The brood started with 4 baby birds. And then there were 2...some of the more evil babies started pushing the weaker ones out of the nest. :(

Shabilly Chic!

Some new shabilly (shabby hillbilly) chic items have been added to the shop!  These items were found in the North Georgia mountains, so you know they are genuine shabilly chic.   (I'm from those parts, so it's ok that I say that, haha.) 




If you like shabby anything, you're going to love this great "shabilly" medicine cabinet! Straight from the north Georgia mountains it has it all - old imperfect mirror, crackled paint (what paint is still there) and inside the wonderful smell of little old lady. It also has a great vintage glass knob. It is 1' 5'' tall and 1' 1''+ across. It is 5' in depth. 





This is a vintage 1971 Coke crate. Chattanooga 1971 is painted on the inside. As you can see from the pictures there is damage on the back. The inside is dirty. Here at Raw Vintage I like to offer my items as they were found, in this case I had to brush out some dirt and what looked like mud. This is a great crate and would make a neat addition to any Coke collection.
