Description I still have items listed from the wonderful Earlville Illinois farm sale that I went to, and since that time have also gone to other estate sales – so lots of new items to post this week – there’s something for everyone! Please be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of all of my listings as I usually have MORE photos down there, too! Also please note that I’ve made some changes to my payment and combined shipment policies, which you can see highlighted in my detail below.

Sososo one of my favorites this week - this one has character to spare! It\'s a tin hanging candle lanter in the shape of a lady bug. It\'s vintage, not antique, but what it lacks in age it makes up for in a PUNCH of primitive charm! This is a well used rustic and rusty piece, but it\'s still solid and sturdy and will hang very well for you. As you can see, the piece is covered with rust - some thicker and darker than others but all surface only EXCEPT for the hanging chain, which you can see has some open links (in photos 3 and 4) and because of the rust on them, I was scared to try to push together, so you might need to add a more secure chain or rope, although it will hang from the one it has currently. Also, the tab clasp on the door of the lantern is stuck in place from the rust - see photo 18. It\'s angled upward and stuck in that spot, but that\'s actually OK, as I was able to lift the door enough to make it open - and not too much or with too much force, so doing it that way will keep the door closed while allowing you to access the tealight sized candle well on the inside. The piece is made from tin, and you can see solder points all around the perimeter. Photos 23 (left) and 22(right) show you the BACK bottom of the lantern. Now, I have no idea if that is dinging/pushout damage to the tin, but it\'s well attached at the back, including the bottom between those two jut outs, and it\'s at the back of the lantern, too. The only other issue that I can see is the tentacles at the top bend whimsically in their own direction - see photo 5. No idea if that is original or not, but it\'s all part of the primitive charm of this one! It measures 14 7/8\" widest wing to wing, 14 1/2\" tallest to the top of teh tentacles NOT incuding the chain, add another 6 1/2\" to the height for the chain, and it\'s 3\" thickest at the sides. It weighs a smidge over 2 lbs. It\'s barn fresh dusty dirty cobwebby and debrisy and needs a good cleaning - I do not clean or mess with as found patina in any way. Please see all of my photos and make sure this one is for you. Ya gotta love rustic age earned patina primitives like I do to appreciate it - you can\'t buy this patina new!

Customer Satisfaction is extremely important to me. If you receive an item and are not satisfied in any way, please contact me before leaving response.

If you are using a phone or tablet to look at listings, you may not be seeing full descriptions – please make sure you are – I list sizes, condition and many photos on all of my items – so if you are not seeing that, you’re not seeing all I have about the listing.

Please ask if you have any questions, or feel free to inform me if you have any information about one of my listings. As with any of my items, if you ever need extra photos, let me know. My white stool, my rug and anything else that you see other than the item discussed are not included in the sale!

PAYMENT IS DUE IMMEDIATELY(SAME DAY) AFTER THE CLOSE OF AN sale.

I’m happy to combine shipments for you, when possible - depending upon size and weight, it might not always be possible, though. If you win an item and plan to offer on another, please email me to let me know that you are looking at other items, hold to pay for the first item and request a combined shipping invoice once you’ve won the other item/s. As I have to ship within 24 hours, if you pay for an item, I have to ship it, I cannot hold for items that close another day, if you pay for the first item. Unless you ask me for an invoice earlier, I will invoice on Sunday for multiple items purchased the week prior, or after 5 days have passed since the item that you won has closed. 5 (FIVE) days from the closing of the FIRST bought item will be the longest I can wait time wise to combine, and I ask for immediate payment after invoice for combined orders. I NOW HAVE \'S UNPAID ITEM ASSISTANT SET TO AUTOMATICALLY FILE A CLAIM FOR PAYMENT 8 DAYS AFTER THE CLOSE OF AN sale, WHEN NO PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE - PLEASE KNOW. Please know that some items cannot be combined, though, do to size, weight, or safety of the items. Many items that are set to ship in USPS FLAT RATE boxes; I cannot combine due to size restrictions. Please look at the shipping alternatives in the listings. I only mail USPS and pack in the best manner that we feel safe – I cannot change shipment methods after the close of an sale (i.e. rolling an old map to save money when I have it set to ship flat), especially if I feel the requested method is not safe. Again, I only ship USPS and charge actual cost to ship only. I ship within one business day of receipt of your payment, unless there’s a holiday that closes the post office, or I will notify you otherwise. As I shop for treasures on the weekends, I most often do not ship on Saturday. Most items closing and paid for on Friday will be shipped on Monday.

Many of my items come from local rural estate sales and sales. They are coming right from the barn or attic to you - dust, dirt, cobwebs and all! I do not clean and polish before I sell – they are in the condition found, as you see in my photos, and I leave the patina exactly as it was when I bought the item. I do my best to photo and describe all thoroughly.

Please email me before offerding if you do not use PayPal, as Paypal is the only requested method of payment on this listing.

With postage rates increasing regularly, I am shipping more and more items Parcel Select. Parcel Select travels by land or rail and the packages do not leave the regional post office until they fill up a bin going in the same direction (so the estimated delivery is truly only an estimate – not exact). The post office estimates 5-7 days, but it can go up higher, sometimes even 3-4 weeks in peak mailing times like the holidays. I always provide a tracking number, so you can see where your item is on any day.

Sales tax will be added for Illinois buyers.
