Hello Junkers,

This has been a dream of mine to display my dumpster diving/alley crawling finds.

Yes, that is my Christmas tree in the window.  All ornaments found in the trash.

Artpiece on wall is a old part of a sign and I screwed on piano peddles I found.

This is what the sign says in the Window.

 

The Décor you see in this window are pieces we have either dug out of a DUMPSTER or picked-up in an ALLEY of Pierce County.

 

The only bought items are the Christmas Balls and Candy.

Happy Junking to you All!

From the Dumpster Diving Divas.

The response from the public has been so great.

They leave me messages saying they can't believe the things I find.

 

Hope you enjoy the window!

I'm closed Monday-Thursday.

But, I can meet you down at my shop and open for you.

There's tons of shops Downtown Tacoma.

I'm right by the Link Rail that goes from one side of the town to the other with a few stops. It's FAB!

Let me know!
You can call me at my store 253-779-9927.

P.S. I especially love the Christmas tree - hard to believe someone threw that out...lucky you!! Posted: 2:04 pm on November 13th
