These neat images are from a 1951 Calendar that was in Barntiques.
I was just in Barntiques starting to pack up some of our vintage Christmas merchandise. This neat 1951 calendar from Larew Plumbing and Heating Company of Iowa City was left behind. I just love the image on the front of the old vintage pickup and the red barn in the background. Wow 1951... just think that calendar is 50 years old. Can you believe it's almost 2011. Wasn't it just 2000?
We're getting ready for Our Christmas Open House @ The Rug Cottage & Barntiques ... Nov. 5th 9 am - 7 pm & Nov. 6th 9 am - 5 pm... Hope you can come....

I had a great weekend attending the Iowa One Room School House Association Conference in Maquoketa Iowa. Saturday we toured many wonderfully restored school houses and few other attractions such as this beautiful barn which has been restored in it's natural state. Still owned by the original family. It was built by the owners great great father in 1855 with native lumber from the farm. What an Iowa Treasure.
