Hippie Tom's Farm Sale

Hi everyone!

There are few things I enjoy more than poking around a great flea market, antique mall or antique sale.  I was so excited to have Memorial Day weekend roll around with fabulous weather because just down the road from me is a fabulous place that is all those things rolled into one:  Serendipity Farm.  This farm is owned by none other than Hippie Tom of  American Pickers fame.  He holds sales at the farm several times of the year and this was the first of 2015.  


I can say with all honesty  there is no other place quite like Serendipty Farm.  There is so much to see - Tom has acquired many old buildings and brought them back to his place, filling them up with odd bits of "stuff" from hither and yon.  So, join me on mainly a picture filled journey of my recent visit.


Where else but Hippie Tom's would you find bicycles hanging in the trees - as well as Christmas tree stands?





Just one of several outhouses on the property.





 The name of this old church made me chuckle....


Do you think that sign was meant for me?????





Besides old buildings and old junk stuff, there are meandering pathways filled with beautifully tended flowers and gardens.  Love this bleeding heart.





Tom even has merchandise with his face on it!






The hanging balls in the tree were made of styrofoam and are old fishing floats.  I love the way the milkcans on the left are stacked.



I found a few things in this pile of junk stuff that came home with me.


Think of the salon savings I could have if I picked up this hair dryer.  Bonus - it also reclines so it would be a dandy piece for the living room.



My finds of the day - two old signs.  They just called my name.  You can see Hippie Tom in the background on the right of this picture.  He is a really nice guy and takes time to talk to everyone.



The amount of things this guy has amassed is amazing.  It is not a place where you can walk in and find things you would want - you really have to dig. Still, it is a super fun "event" and a person can spend hours there just poking around.  If you like old farm sales, this would be a fun trip to make. His next sale is in October.

Thanks for stopping by,
Jane

  9. Wow how fun is that! I saw the episode with him on American Pickers. You're the first person I've ever connect with one of the places they've visited. Those episodes are so limiting as to what they let you see so this is fun to see everything more fully.
