Hook, line, and sinker. This hand-woven fishing creel basket just landed at Outta the Ashes — and it’s already got our heart. Leather straps, fish charms, and craftsmanship you can feel. Come reel it in before someone else does.

Meet the most magical bench you’ve ever seen.

Our incredible vendor Karen’s Kreations has done it again — and this time, she’s created something truly one of a kind. This beautiful concrete bench is completely covered, edge to edge, in hundreds of vintage and collectible pieces, each one hand-placed with intention. It’s not just a bench — it’s a memoir in metal, gems, and memory.

Every single piece tells a story:

A St. Joseph, Michigan lighthouse tile for the lake lovers and local dreamers among us. A Noah’s Ark brooch full of tiny animals marching side by side — a nod to faith and folklore. A Superman button for the hero in all of us. A Silver Beach charm because summers on the lakeshore are forever. A sunflower chain wrapping the edge like sunshine. A crown, a starfish, a playing card hand, a Noah’s dove — layers of life, love, and nostalgia pressed into every inch.

Deep cobalt blue cabochons. Rich amber stones. Pearls. Crystals. Charms from travels. Vintage brooches that surely belonged to someone’s grandmother. A USA flag pin. A Paris charm. An owl with outstretched wings taking center stage. A gingerbread man. A tiny cross. Each one chosen, each one placed with care.

This bench isn’t just art — it is a conversation. It is a keepsake. It is the kind of piece you pass down.

Come see it in person at Outta The Ashes and prepare to spend a good few minutes just… looking.

You won’t believe we have THIS in the shop.

This is a vintage Keebler Elf wall clock from around the 1980s, and people used it as a fun kitchen or family room clock while showing off their love for one of America’s most iconic cookie brands.

Designed to look like a giant Swatch watch, this piece is packed with nostalgia, personality, and vintage advertising charm. The playful Keebler Elf design makes it one of my favorite finds at Outta The Ashes — the kind of piece that instantly brings back memories and starts conversations.

If you love quirky vintage finds, advertising memorabilia, or unique décor pieces, you NEED to come see this one in person!

RED, WHITE & BLUE IS ALWAYS IN STYLE.

From the bold spread of a cast iron eagle to a hand-painted eagle tole tray that looks like it flew straight out of a Federal-era parlor — the American spirit is ALIVE and well at Outta the Ashes.

We’re talking flow blue pitchers, Abraham Lincoln collector plates, a United States Military Academy print, an American flag tucked into a gold-rimmed ironstone pitcher, Mary Emmerling’s American Country Flags books, a cast brass Scottie dog bookend, a mini Statue of Liberty — and blue & white spice crocks that would’ve looked right at home in any 1800s farmhouse kitchen.
