Fab Friday Finds – Working on the Railroad
Remember my Brimfield Adventure?
Well, I spotted these beauties there.
Vintage railroad steps …
to help the well heeled traveler step onto and off of the train …
probably while carrying a small dog and a hat box.
Don’t you just love it when you spot something fabulous …
and overpriced …
then realize that you already have one of your very own!
Found this beauty at an estate sale for $15!
Guess wheat they’re selling for on Ebay?
Between $250 – $550!
So should I do what the great railroad barons would do?
Make a smart business decision and turn a quick profit.
Or do what a hoarder, I mean vintage loving gal, would do?
Keep it and laugh uproariously when I realize what other people are willing to pay for it!

I think I like yours better…LOVE the color!
Great finds from Brimfield? I actually wanted to go this year, how was it? I will link up on Tuesday. Have a great weekend:)Jen
Keep it and chuckle, my dear! You’re a real trendsetter! xo Heidi
You have to keep it!
Maybe you could use it on the back patio……plant some flowers in it 🙂

No matter your decision, you have to laugh uproariously while doing it … because that’s exactly how i picture you! With umbrella drink in hand, of course. 🙂
Throw your head back and laugh, of course!
Keep it as your very own hoarded treasure.

You have to keep it…it’s just perfect in every way!
Love the photo of the stack of steps-so cool! Of course, you must keep it. What a great story!
I’d do the best of both worlds…. list it online at a price you’d be happy with… and then live with and LOVE it until it sells. Don’t accept less than you’d be willing to peacefully part with it for. Then if it doesn’t sell… oh well… and if it does, you can use that money to buy MORE stuff!
Hmmm… my hubby works for the railroad. Seems to me he should be able to rustle me up one or two of those! I like yours even better than the crazy expensive ones too. 🙂
Oh my goodness….I would soooo love one of these treasures. Lucky you. Love your blog…just came to visit from The Cottage Market…junkin joes link up…so very glad I did. I will be on the look out now for one of these.. happy weekend.
I like yours-the color, the chipped paint-more like a Kelly look 🙂
You always find amazing deals!!
Have a great day Kelly!!
I’ve never seen a railroad stool like this before but I must say I love them and now I want one. But, I definitely want one at the price you found yours! Thanks for sharing!
so awesome!
It’s awesome when you realize how thrift savvy your are isn’t it? What a great find. See… it’s in your bones 😉
What a great find!!! I think I would keep them and enjoy for a bit!

I really have to say Dana had a great idea. List it. Should it sell at an outlandish price, you have money to go treasure hunting with. In the meanwhile, live with it, create with it, love it, and even brag a little.
Thanks Dana – hopefully nobody will mind if I do go ahead and brag a bit!
Great-looking stool. Don’t think I’ve every seen one in all my treasure hunting years!
What a fabulous find! She’s (he’s) so cute and what a fabulous price!
Oh my! What a fabulous find! Enjoy, Kelly!
hi Kelly … love your little stool and good to know what it is and how much it is worth. Really cute decorating item, I would have trouble parting with it … but tempting to see if it someone would pay that much for it. You find really good things.
