In Due Time Collectibles

These are copies of old Easter cards. Melamine trays are perfect for decorating or for serving those inevitable deviled eggs!

When you tear down buildings to use the wood, you end up with a great many windows and doors! This piece is called a Corner Door and, of course, it is made of a solid old door.

We haven’t had one in the shop for a couple of years now, but Don has made up about 6 of them. 3 are in the shop in this painted Farmhouse White color. The other that we have in our shop is a nice, natural wood door.

All of the features, various brackets, top knots and trim, all came from old furniture. Don Hancock leaves the door knobs and hinges on to add to it’s character! Come look at our downtown Moultrie showroom at 118 S. Main St, right off the courthouse square in historic downtown Moultrie!

We have another winner! FirstLove@etsy.com is this month’s Customer of the Month. We sincerely thank her for all of her purchases!

All items from joanne44 that are re-listed on etsy.com are listed at half of their original price. Come on in a get a bargain!

I believe that one either loves Hummells or doesn’t get it. To me these are perfectly dear. We have several of these Goebel figurines at In Due Time right now. Some have nice old marks. Goebel was nice enough to change it’s marks regularly and the year each was produced is carefully documented. This little guy is holding his lamb — and wearing his daddy’s slippers!

This is a WOW of a find! A great LANCE cabinet with all it’s original glass. In a primitive bathroom, wouldn’t this make a fabulous medicine cabinet?!? How about your favorite antique kitchen implements on a nice farm kitchen wall. Red is just so — RED! Makes a great statement, doesn’t it?!?!

Another great new item is this baseball lamp by Don Hancock. On a piece of nice old heart pine, here is a vintage Mike Schmidt baseball bat. The knob has been cut off just to hold your glove! Great addition to a sport theme bedroom or den.

Working at In Due Time is a very fun job. I learn something new every day. The other day a man came in asking for a Froe. I said huh, that was a hairstyle that I wore in the 70’s. The man laughed at me and said it was a tool that was used for splitting roof shingles. Imagine my surprise and embarrisment. I learn something new everyday and it makes history come alive to me. Joanne is the greatest and knows so much about antiques. She amazes me with all of her knowledge of just about everything in the store. Come in for a treat and and sneak back in time.

As you can see we are ready for that day where, with a thoughtful gift, you can say, ‘You are special to me!’ We have prepared our shop with the cutest of Bearington Bears! There is one guy in his silk boxer shorts with pink hearts, that will show his love with the throbbing of his heart! There is also The Bandit of Love! Does a little pink and white Angel-Bear with a halo, say I Love You? We have one!! There are several adorable Valentine’s bears just waiting to be found by you!!

To show you how much we appreciate you, our loyal customers, we are asking you to enter our drawing for a nice Valentine gift — ’cause we love you! Come in and register anytime between now and Valentine’s Day. We will be looking for you!!

Etsy.com has given us another customer of the month. This month’s pick is seller bayousalvage on the etsy.com site. Just wait until you see her ‘Southern Gothic’ creations! Please check out her inventory.

Thanks, bayousalvage for being such a great customer!!

At In Due Time we have found a product that works removing white heat rings, water or smoke damage. Howard’s Restor-A-Finish does the trick. Apply Restor-A-Finish with fine steel wool and rub hard enough with the grain to blend out the white effect, periodically checking your progress. If a high gloss finish should appear dull due to the use of steel wool, polish it out with Howard Burnishing Cream and/or Polishing Compound. Resor-A-Finish comes in a wide variety of wood colors and is available at In Due Time.
