It’s hard work! Finding stuff

Posted by on June 2nd, 2010 under Junkin'  •  1 Comment

As usual, here I am saying, “I’m still alive. Still here. Where does the time go? Blah, blah, blah.” Same old story. But what’s not the same old story is the one I’m telling today about the sales a couple of weekends ago. Friday started out pretty awful. We, like many of you, have had [...]

I want it!

Gasp! Do any of you follow shabbytownusa’s auctions on eBay? She has a gorgeous site, too. She takes beautiful pictures, her items are to die for and if they weren’t, the way she stages them in the pictures makes you want everything she offers. She has a great business to emulate. Hope she doesn’t mind [...]

Sneak peek at some of the things I bought yesterday and today. But the best will come later.

Fun at half price!

An amazing thing happened this weekend. My husband went with me to a couple of estate sales — and had fun! The earth didn’t quake (or I don’t think it did), the sky didn’t fall. He even said he’d do it again. Gasp! Oh-boy-oh-boy-oh-boy! You see. we have very little in common. I’ve always tried [...]

It’s the simple things

Posted by on April 7th, 2010 under Junkin'  •  5 Comments

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make us smile. Of course, babies, puppies and kittens, but I’m talking about non breathing things. I was rearranging yesterday and combined these objects together. And it made me smile! I just enjoy gazing on it. So simple. A little nativity sheep sitting on a spike flower frog, under [...]

Pulllin’ out the big guns – phase one

Posted by on April 6th, 2010 under Junkin'  •  3 Comments

Oh, alright. Not really. I just thought the title sounded good. And it kinda fit. We’ve begun pulling out larger items at the World O’ Junk. The hardware store, spinning, nail bin thing won’t be mine. A brother has claimed it. To be honest, I’m rather relieved. It was going to be hard to find [...]

Another trip to The World O’ Junk and the Locker Basket Winner!

But first, before the real, scouring, digging, getting nasty junkin’, I hit a few local yard sales. Nothing terribly exciting. I had to take a picture of the sale below, though. Why do you think I turned the car around and went back after I passed this sale? If you guessed “the walker” you win! [...]

A trip to the bus graveyard

Posted by on April 2nd, 2010 under Junkin'  •  2 Comments

We’ve done the World of Junk behind the house. Several times. And will do it again tomorrow. But yesterday we checked out another site owned by the same family. They’re beginning to crush the trucks, cars and buses at this site, so friend Jeri took me out there before everything got away. We searched and [...]

Poor, pitiful me…. today

Posted by on March 26th, 2010 under Junkin'  •  3 Comments

I was geared up for this weekend’s sales. Looked like there would be some worth going to. I had money from eBay. Granted it was money for bills due next week, but that’s next week. Who thinks that far ahead? I’d worry about that later. Tomorrow’s another day. Blah, blah, blah. Then last night – [...]
