Box Assemblages by Peter Riedel

We found these amazing Box Assemblages or "Art Boxes" inside a Lake Claire Estate.  Here is a bit of background on what was inside the artist's mind...From junkyards to backyards, Peter Riedel's raw materials are carefully gathered, sorted and finally married inside the framework of an art box. Each three-dimensional collage invites the viewer to ponder and interpret its individual juxtaposition of objects. Compositionally, the art boxes read from the inside outward as well as from the outside inward; each box being a unique world unto itself as well as referential to the universe beyond.

Anthropologie Inspired Wall!

Squirrel looks like one of our favorite shops!  Only better..and presumably much less expensive! Come see new items for the walls.  Including vintage mirrors, incredible crystal sconces, maps, bird prints and more!

Hello Dear!

Ok, this is too cool!  We picked this up last week at an amazing local estate sale.  We found this in a back shed.  This wonderful piece of art, would look amazing in a lake house, mountain cabin or right here at home. Come see how it looks on squirrel's walls. 

Mixed nuts in a bowl!

A bowl full of...beautiful handmade wooden acorns.  For very hungry squirrels!  Bird bottle openers.  Just a few left, after the holiday rush!  And small vintage spools.  For only $3.00!

Dream Cabin

We found this sweet hand-made wood cabin and three deers at a Medlock Park estate.  We lucked out and found loads of original finds at this estate.  The owner was a wonderful wood worker.  We picked up a one-of-a-kind book shelf with beautiful rounded sides, unique wood bowls, and much more.

99 Empty Bottles on the Wall!


Take one down and pass it around...Going fast! Our wonderful vintage bottles.  Blue, brown, clear, and green.  All shapes and sizes. Come in and take a look.  They add a great visual to our walls.

One-of-a-kind display shelf

This handmade wooden shelf will add a touch of old-world charm to any room.  Perfect for vintage books, a collection of bottles or whatever you please.

Spools, Spools and More Spools...

We happily stumbled upon this wonderful assortment of vintage spools at an estate sale and grabbed them all.  Add one to your own collection or add one to a table top for interest.  They have many wonderful uses.

Collection of Tin Toys


You are in luck!  We have a whole collection of tin toys in our booth.  We almost have our own zoo or circus, depending on what you are looking for!  Elephants, pandas, zebras...oh my!

Captain's Chest of Drawers

We spent several hours in squirrel today, adding an assortment of new pieces, including this beautiful "Captain" Chest of Drawers.  It has unusual hardware and makes a great overall statement.  It would "warm up" any room.  Stop by squirrel and take a look for yourself!
