I saw the reaction to this piece first-hand...everyone goes nuts over this one...as it should be. I am so lucky to be able to see these fantastic art piece in person...so much more affecting, but still beautiful in photos. Georgia

Wow you are putting all those clock parts to good use I see. These are marvelous!!! I would buy all of them! Great job, Georgia

darling, darling, darling and oh so clever, clever, clever!!!! This is a super great idea!Love it, Georgia

FANTASTIC!!! What else can I say? You always amaze me my dear, classy and striking as usual, Georgia

Sue...I just love how you came up with so many ideas for the same things. They are adorable. You are the QUEEN of details! love all the little things that only you come up with, I am now inspired to get on with my holiday projects and hope they turn out half as good as yours..wish me luck! Georgia

Yep..it's a winner! I really love this and I am so excited that the Christmas projects are starting to turn up. Lani you always come up with the neatest stuff. I know you home is just so festive! Love it, Geo

Darling, adorable, classy, elegant, chic, and always so classically YOU, Georgia

Jim, I'll bet you would be the first and only person I know that would be hauled to jail in handcuffs for rifling through some crawl space to get HALLOWEEN decorations!!! You. Crack. Me. UP. Anyway since you aren't serving time in jail for this fabulous stuff, you made good use of them in this great project to hang on your door. I love how enthusiastic you are about the Holidays...you come up with the most fantastic displays! Keep yourself out of trouble, OK? Love, Georgia

Ok Kathy...I had to get up FROM the computer and WALK away. I couldn't even LOOK at the pictures for too long. I know about a million people that would LOVE to run across an Estate sale like that one....and I'm on the top of that list!!! I got that excited feeling in my gut the second I saw this post...it's like a dream come true. We are all probably a LOT envious and a little bit happy for you guys...OK I'll be nice...you can switch it around. What a SCORE!!!! Have fun with ALL that great, great, great stuff. Love Georgia

Sue, the colors of the veggies and flowers with the patina of the old gear mold are truly beautiful together. I love how fresh everything looks. Great find for only $20!!! How DO you do it? Love, Georgia

OMG looks like a heavenly place to do your crafts! What an organizational wizard you are...I am dreadfully lacking in that department. Can't wait to see all the wonderful things that you come up with, Georgia

Wow, Wow, WOW!!! This is SO, SO, SO beautiful! Am I repeating myself??? I can hardly come up with the right words to tell you how much I love this arrangement, the shopping cart, and the photos...they are all FANTASTIC!! It looks so gorgeous out there on your porch...makes me want to move to New England! You'll be coming up with other great displays in this fabulous cart! Can't wait until you start with your Christmas deco's...you always come up with the greatest stuff! Love it ALL, Georgia

Bluebucket, this is stunningly beautiful and perfect for the fall season. Fantastic job, Georgia

Sue, I don't even know what to say about this....I'm blown away by the beauty of this piece. I can say this will fit right into your lovely home. You do the BEST STUFF...EVER!!! Love ya, Georgia

Can we all say DARLING???? Yep this one is another home run from our heavy hitter, Lani! Great piece, and great use of it. You are incredibly talented my dear! Love this, Georgia

Well first of all thank you all for the wonderful comments on this project. Nice to know that I was missed and I have really missed being more present on the site as well. I have been super busy, as Jim noted, reorganizing my business and getting the "occasional sale" format off the ground. I am proud to say that things are going quite well in that department and I have gotten ALMOST everybody used to the idea. Seems like I just finish one and have to start on the next but it has been a lot of fun traveling around getting new inventory and getting to spend lots of time setting up the shop in a new way each time. I have another sale on the 24th of Oct. and will be posting some of my fall displays and merchandise. Thanks again for all your support. With love, Georgia

PS I am ALL for a potting party or any other kind of party for that matter..so COUNT me in!!!!

Welcome Jackie, I really think you did a fantastic job with this. The base is fabulous and the shade, crystals, and wire, just add to the beauty. I really , REALLY love this lamp! Georgia

Jimmy-James, You are just too cool. You probably didn't even know what these were for until you saw the picture on the tall one! The graphics are really neat and the idea to turn these into frame holders is totally junk genius! You never seem to run out of ideas...really GOOD ideas, Georgia

I think you could make anything look beautiful. your embellishments are always just right, in perfect harmony with whatever it is you are doing. Another great idea and post, Georgia

Classy...very classy. Just love the vintage charm of this table in your foyer. What a great eye you have for using the unusual in your home. Great photos of a fantastic roadside rescue! Georgia

Oh Yummy! What a great way for Stephanie to showcase her always fantastic booth. The pink trailer is a going to be a showstopper! As usual this show will be filled with the best junk out there and is one of my favorite shows of all time. Great old stuff, fantastic dealers, and the Hens know how to pull it all together! Now with the addition of these yummy cupcakes (some of you know how much I LOVE cupcakes) I feel this could be the best one yet! See you there, Georgia

Sue nobody deserves friends and fun in their lives more than you do...and it looks like you got just that!!! And some VERY nifty gifties too. What fun you all must have had. That's what happens when you get all these clever, wonderful people together on one site...fun happens! Happy belated birthday!! With all my love, Georgia

Sue you do good work. This one is simply adorable! I love how clever you are with the little hook coming through the bottom of the bell. Who wouldn't love this couple to come over and stay a while, Georgia

MB I am loving all your great ideas but for some reason I am attracted to the "whatchamacallit". So very clever! Georgia

Miss J is on a ROLL!!! You all should see some of the things this girl is cranking out of her new lab! Truly amazing and even more beautiful in person if that is possible. KEEP EM COMING GIRLFRIEND! Georgia

Jim, what a warm and cozy atmosphere this creates. This is truly beautiful. It's funny how you can take rusty, hard, flaky, old stuff and turn it into something so soft and inviting. You are so talented, I am always so inspired by your creations. You are the KING of junk! Georgia

The detail on this little table is so cool. I love the color and the paint job is fantastic! Georgia

WOW! This is just lovely. That Janis is an inspiration but you are too...you did a fantastic job. You sure changed the whole feeling of this piece...much better! Georgia

JK this is fantastic as usual. Love the patina and the quote, you are the master of putting simple elements together to make a big statement! Love this one..as usual, Georgia

Yum-my! And quite lovely too. Congratulations MB, welcome to our "contributor family". Can't wait to see more of your fabulous ideas, Georgia

Boy these "Mondays" are rolling around pretty quickly. Seems like just yesterday that you had the last one up. This one is my favorite...so far...just gorgeous, Georgia

Only you my dear, only you. Could possibly make ANYTHING out of that pile of...rubbish. You can find that stuff at any thrift store in the country and we ALL pass it up, and will continue to do so. Someone was really thinking they were gonna get one over on you...HA! You showed them. This is simply incredible and amazing and so very clever! Sue,you got your Mojo workin'!!! Geo

PS make sure and let us know if you find out who came up with this wicked prank!!!

Wow GIRL...this turned out SO COOL! So refreshing! The colors and graphics are amazing and so is the talent required to come up with the idea and bring it to LIFE!!! It just POPS! I can't wait to see it in person. Fabulous, fantastic, and amazing as always...Georgia

PS Love the new photo!...it is SO you! CUTE and SASSY!

Wow I have heard of dumpster diving but alley crawling is a new one to me. Seems that it is a great thing to do though...what a bunch of fantastic raw material to work with. We really are looking forward to the "after" pictures, Georgia

Wow, three GREAT ideas to use the feeders. We will all be out there looking for these now. I love the way they look next to all that gleaming white china. Great post, keep em coming, Georgia

Oh junk from the family members is the BEST kind. It looks great and has all that sentimental goodness to go along with it! Love all your ideas and the cracker holder is so good..9? I couldn't make anything like that when I was 9 or...ever. Great job, Georgia

Janis I LOVE this little project. You guys are supplying me with LOTS of cool stuff to do here. I have a bunch of little crystal lamps that I can never find the right shade for...well the search is OFF! From now on I can turn them into this kind beautiful item. Now if I only had the time to keep up with you. My booth, later this month, will feature some of the coolest stuff..all I have to do is check in here and see what all my junking pals are up to and go to town!!! Great job and thanks for the inspiration, Georgia

Sue, Simple Monday is a fantastic idea, and you do some of the BEST simple projects I have ever seen! Just goes to show that every project doesn't require tools and a lot of bits and pieces to make a statement. Really really love this one, Georgia

OMG Jim I am cracking up...You are so funny. I love the way this turned out. I don't really see the Polynesian part of it but a Mai Tai sounds good, and if you have too many, this will light your way! I appreciate your description of the very skilled process of "whacking" things with a mallet. I also noticed a box of band-aids ready and waiting on your work bench...just in case the whacking gets out of hand. Really good project Jim, and I think you were right about NOT turning it into a butter dish. Love it, Georgia

Wow this is what you call decorating on a budget! What a fantastic transformation. Thanks for sharing your talent with us, Georgia

FALL..already?!! I am still sitting here in the fog waiting for SUMMER!!! Our hottest months are late Aug and Sept. Here in Ca. we have fall in November, but I do love all the fall colors and the IDEA of crisp, cool, clear days. The colors of those veggies are almost unreal...very beautiful and tasty too! Georgia

I Love old books. I can never seem to resist them either but I have never seen them on the side of the road before. I am sure if I had, there would be a great screeching of brakes and a quick pile of them in my truck! love the old ones about child rearing...you can get in trouble these days if you follow the advice in them. BTW there is no such thing as "Too much Candy" and I'm talking about YOU, not the other stuff! Love your rescue, Georgia

Lani, you always come up with the coolest stuff! And all the pictures of your home are fantastic. I love the sign and the way you have used it. I'm putting this on the list with the old guard rail!!!! Love it, Georgia

Oh Honey...I'll be makin' one of these (or ten). What a cool idea. I just finished one of the fence chandeliers for my next sale and sold it. So that means I will be breaking out the wire cutters again. Love this idea...you don't mind if I steal it do you? No? Ok then, thanks. Fantastic idea! Georgia

Ok...this is a crack up! What a handsome TP holder you made out of this "brace". I couldn't imagine what you were going to do with this, but of course you pulled it off. Your imagination is boundless and your creativity..simply amazing my dear! I love seeing what you come up with using these random pieces of junk...this challenge is SO much fun!!! Love this one, Georgia

Sue, WOW, with pictures like that you may have all 4697 of us Junkmarket members tagging along behind you next year. Fantastic stuff and I know y'all had some good food, right? Lots of fun? Lots of Laughs? I can't wait to hear a camping story...I'm already intrigued by the duck (chicken, mouse, bird) poop. Funny how this comes into play quite often when hanging with you. I'm just sayin'.

Fabulous junking haul my friend, AND you got to take it home!!! Georgia

Wow cool. You are right this will be a conversation piece for sure. does it have storage too? Good job, Georgia

I have always wanted to do this project. It's not like I don't have casters but I never got around to it. Thanks for the renewed inspiration. Yours turned out great! Georgia

NOT FAIR! An estate sale in a lovely barn AND Oronoco!!! Wow what a fun time you all will be having. Make sure and keep us posted...it hurts...but in a good way. HAVE FUN! Georgia

Luann my dear it looks like you got some interesting stuff there. I agree you can't have too much garden art. I love the toaster...can't wait to see what you do with it. It sounds like you had a lot of fun, in a beautiful place...with JUNK. What could be better? Nice haul girlfriend, Georgia

Jimmy James, this is one of the coolest clocks I have ever seen. What a beauty! I love the red tin...it has just the perfect amount of patina and rust. What a great find and you were VERY smart to make this fantastic clock. You are always amazing my friend. Your junkin' pal, Georgia

Janis, what a great and creative idea to put the medical items together to make a charming "Get Well" bouquet. It is lovely and would make anyone feel better...especially if they knew they didn't have to get a shot with THAT syringe. Still a little scary to me. Interesting, but scary. I'm glad to see that you are getting some use out of it and the Nursing School pitcher is to die for. Love it, Georgia

Sue this is such a cute idea, I have just about run out of ideas with these babies. I think I will print up this page and put it with the spindles I have left to show the folks another thing that can be done with them. Another challenge met with super creativity! Love ya, Geo

Ok Sue you are right, that could have only come from our little friend Janis. But only you could take something so lovely and turn it into something even MORE lovely. What a classy piece of junk this is. As you said, for a wedding reception or rehearsal dinner, it would be fabulous. I could have used this on my next project (coming soon) So very very elegant!!! Geo

Jim, you are SO talented. I have never even SEEN a bead loom before...it is super cool. I love the springs that sit on top of the glass. And you are right, that is the crustiest, rustiest hanger in the world. What a great combination of junk and I am sure your momma is going to LOVE it. I know I do! Georgia

Hey SuSu!!! This is fantastic! I am coming to you from BEAUTIFUL Washington State with Miss Jenny and Melissa.(lots more to come on that front)
When I saw this marvelous piece of junk I had to have it but had NO idea what to do with it..thank god this challenge came along and you were able to transform it into this gorgeous wreath. It looks perfect on your door. Glad it got you in one piece after the postal inspectors confiscated it because of the white powdery substance was noticed coming from the package. I know it was treated as a potential HASMAT/bio terrorism item...this it TRUE (after Jim's BIG talk who would have guessed it would have been MY package!!)..and they found the "substance" to be what they told me was an antacid??? I guess they ran out of chalk while striping the field! Tums anyone? You did an amazing job on this one, can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the cool junk you got! CONGRATULATIONS on the first project..you hit this one out of the field!!! Georgia

OOooh I would love to be there too. I love all your stuff and would buy a BUNCH of it! I hope your sale is super successful and you have the BEST time!
.
Marie since we are in CA., we'll have to stick together. Wanna come to my sale Aug. 22nd? I'll post more info later.

Once again, good luck with everything. I can tell by your photos that you'll do well, Georgia

Janis, this is so darling. Certain people I know (I won't name names... but you know who you are) have teased me for my attraction to baby beds and cribs (I do have a few of them) and now here is another fantastic use for one that I have not tried yet. I really love the way you lined it with the moss and the screen and Bacopa will be so cute and dainty when it grows up and spills over the sides. You are so multi-talented I am always happy to see when you have a new project to share. Thanks for this one, Geo

Sue, you should haul my junk out of the garage, or where ever it ended up,and sell it. My god the storage fees have probably topped the value of the pieces by now. Set 'em out there and see what you can get. Gotta be better than having it just sit there taking up room...some of it was really cool. I wanna see a picture of someone hauling the "bleachers" away..hahahaha
Georgia

You guys know what a lucky girl I am? Well of course you do, you know I get to see these fantastic creations up close and personal. Each one is more impressive in person. Just LOVE your work girlfriend, Georgia

Chippingcharm, I love everything you've done. Projects don't have to be "super original" to be wonderful! The beauty of junk is that you can take what you have and make it so personal and sentimental. I think it is fabulous, Georgia

What a fantastic way to get paid! These signs are terrific and the look great on the wall of the barn too! Georgia

WOW you did a great job piecing this all together. It looks fantastic, Georgia

Great save there Candy girl!!! Got it right back outta the trash...good for you. It looks fantastic. I wonder if you could buy new and just let it live outside for a bit to give it that old look..I'm just asking cause I have some new stuff that I was going to use on a lamp project but the lamp sold before I got to it. Anyway I am rambling...I love what you have done here and it is SO inventive and creative and you're right it can go ANYWHERE! Great job and thanks for the inspiration, Georgia

Jim, this lamp is A-DOR-A-BLE!!! I think this could be one of my faves...except for the awesome Christmas lamp with the lights for the cord. I'm still lovin' that one. Anyway, what a fantastic project this one is. I love how you took the thermos apart like that and the teeny funnel for the finial is just too cute. This one is definitely a cabin-in-the-woods look. That's MY kind of camping, electricity, indoor plumbing...Count me in!!!
Really great job my friend, Georgia

PS I love it when you take photos on that yellow cabinet...It looks better every time I see it!!!

What a great scavenger you are. Love the fence, so darling, Georgia

Very clever and pretty too! Georgia

I made one of these chandeliers too! It was really fun. Good idea for the border too, Georgia

Old tools are too cool. I love anything with a bit of rust and age, georgia

I saw from your Bio that you are in Georgia...I know it gets hot down there so an outdoor kitchen is a great idea, thanks for sharing with us, Georgia

Wow an out door kitchen sounds great and what a nice collection of cast iron pans. Now I want to know what you're cooking out there? I read you info and it sounds like you have the whole family in on your junking projects. Love that. Welcome to the sight and hope to see more of your fun stuff, Georgia

Wow this is really cool..I see several letters that could be made from old frames...L,E,T,I and the N if you have a miter saw. That may be one way to get it done quicker but you are right the hunt is the fun part! Love it, Georgia

Well HELLO Janis...you little cutie-pie!! Nice to see ya face! This post is so pretty in pink. Lovely flowers and even lovelier ideas for the table. It just shows us all what can be done with a few inexpensive items and a little creativity...make that a LOT in your case. It looks so beautiful and FUN! wish I was there in that gorgeous garden, Georgia

Jenny this is fantastic...just one of your many fun clocks you have come up with lately! Candy, you're right the little guys look like they are saying "Ta-Da, Look what time it is!" How absolutely darling, geo

Lanette, what fabulous photos and a fantastic way for us to see your lovely home. I would LOVE to have all of your treasure in my home as well. Great stuff girlfriend!!! Geo

Wow was it LAST year that I was there? or was it the year before? I can't remember when it was but I remember it was the coolest outdoor show I had ever been to. I loved everything! the shopping, the food, the people...everything, except unloading the giant truck (with the heaviest stuff on EARTH) in the rain...I remember that REAL well! I suggest that anyone that has the chance to go to this event should do everything possible to get there. I wish that I was going to be there, even though I know I would just buy things that I could never get home, eat too much pie, and probably have 17 ice cream sandwiches (the BEST)! You will all have the BEST time EVER, Georgia

Gretchen I am always so impressed with all that goes into creating a garden. It takes patience and love and it looks like you have given both to this one. Great job and thanks for sharing, Geoergia

Well everyone the sale is over now and it was HUGE success. I love what Jenny and Melissa did with the room and will be keeping the galvanized wall...why didn't I think of that? We hope to have many more fun and exciting sales together, we found out that we all work beautifully together. Marie, the next sale starts on Saturday the 22nd of August. Hope to see you there! Jim, you're invited to show up at ANY time, but be warned we WILL put you to work!!!! BTW...we're hittin' the road on a buying trip to WA State on the 30th of July. We'll keep y'all posted! geo

Oh SUE, this is waaaay too GOOD. I think we are ALL really really funny..hope you think so too. Jim, now you're just being mean...in a really hysterical way of course. Everybody is crackin' me up! Who knew we could have this much fun over a simple little challenge??? Did I say simple? I. DON'T. THINK. SO. Hahahahahahhaha, geo

Jim, looks like you got yourself a "birdie" on this one.... thats what you hit with this racket (right), AND something good in golf...neither of which I know ANYTHING about! But I do know this is one cool clock! I love that you could put this together without tools or even glue...you are SO clever! I love the little toy part in the middle too. The whole thing has great colors and graphics and is a really fun addition to the collection of great stuff we all know is in your house. Love it, Georgia
PS the colors in the photos are fantastic!!!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and I wish you had all been there on the first day of the sale. Things went better than I could have even expected and I had so much FUN! If any of you have noticed I have not been as present as usual on the site, this is the reason, and I have to say I am MISSING you all! We have literally had blood, sweat and tears flowing throughout the process of switching over to this format but it was worth it. Thank you ALL again for being the wonderful and supportive friends that I love and appreciate so much, Georgia

Sue, if anyone knows what lurks in your garage, house and any available space you have crammed with junk...it's me, and I can tell you ALL that a sale of this stash will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!!! WOW I don't even want to THINK about missing this one....geo

Dang Girl!!! This is AWESOME. What a great piece for any room in the house. Wish it was in MY house. This is a fantastic find but what you did with it makes it even more fabulous. This is one (just one?) of my favorite projects EVER. Georgia

Happy fourth to you as well and to all my friends out there in "Junk Land". I will be celebrating the day by working with Jenny and Melissa at the shop...no hot dogs for me! I love your floral designs and everyone of them are beautiful and inspiring. Really great job on this one and Lani the bag is terrific. Georgia

Oh Jimmy, you are so funny. I think I would have thought more than TWICE about running electricity through a gas can but it looks like it worked out for you...you still got your eyebrows, right? This turned out super cool and I love the way it all came together for you.... all the parts and pieces are perfect for each other. The cord is AMAZING!!! You never fail to amuse and impress, Georgia

Lani, I love your use of the numbers throughout the house. What a great way to add a vintage embellishment to some already very cool stuff. This is a really fun and inspiring post. Love all your numbers and ideas, Georgia

Great job Reece! Sue, I love that you are featuring our newest junker, it is important to encourage and teach the younger generation about the beauty and functionality of junk. AND Jenny K. could not be a better mentor...this I KNOW for a FACT! GEORGIA

Sue, this is a FANTASTIC project. WOW...one of my favorites!!! I love the look you have achieved with this one. The photos of the finished product are great, the lamp parts brilliant, the grid pattern on the trays is AMAZING and YOU are so talented for coming up with another fabulous project!!! Very Very cool, Georgia

You know what I like most about this project is that you can take something that is NOT related to a peaceful existence and turn it into something that birds and nature will love. Talk about a complete turn around. I love it and it looks great too! Georgia

Hey, I did something with one of these too!! Great minds and all that...I'll post a picture of later. I turned mine upside down so that the "legs" are going in the other direction. Cool stuff and fun to see the different looks for the same items. Georgia

Kari, every time I see a picture of your farm I just sigh. It looks so peaceful and serene. I know that there is a LOT of work involved to make it this way...it's gorgeous, Georgia

I have NEVER seen anything like this in my life. I wonder what she was before...I know she is darling now! Georgia

These are incredibly beautiful...great job, Georgia

This looks really great. I am amazed that you found so many that look the same. I have a passion for old beds, but have never run across this many. Very cool, Georgia

I have to tell you all that this was a fantastic time. The food was to die for, the company...excellent as always, the junk fun to play with and the laughs kept on coming. You guys probably think that all we do when Sue comes out to visit is eat, right? Well, you'd be right. The "junk" dinner party is one of our favorite things to do. I think everybody should pull out their favorite junk pieces and give it a try, you never know what you will come up with. Thanks Jenny and Melissa, for sharing your home with us, Georgia

Sue this is so fresh and beautiful. What a cool idea and such a space saver for growing herbs. It is FANTASTIC!!!I love this project...it's a winner! Georgia

Oh I'll bet there is gonna be some GOOD stuff at this sale! I wish I could be there and good luck with your sale Sue! Geo

Wow that is one GOOD garage sale. I would have snapped up that file cabinet for $40...that is a steal. All the stuff you got was fantastic...a really good stash all in one stop. It looks to me like there are hidden treasure in there! I wanna go...GeorgiA

Janis, what a fabulous baby gift these would make. You'd be the HIT of the shower if you showed up with something this cool. These are so YOU. Love them, Georgia

Miss Jenny, You know I love these! It doesn't take much to get your creative juices flowing. I love the colors and texture of the background in these photos too. It looks terrific! Geo

You did an EXCELLENT job on this table. It was a lot of work but it paid off big time, Georgia

What a darling little "landscape" you made here. I love the salt and pepper shakers as the houses! Georgia

Love the rusty planters..looks like someone did some target practice on the white one...too bad people leave things like this laying around after they are done...but good for you for putting them to good use. They are lovely, Georgia

Really cute idea. I see old faucets ALL the time, great use for them, Georgia

Great idea! So simple but it looks SO cool, georgia

Hey Carrie, old washboards are great for the bathroom and laundry rooms too. We have used old wood to make a shelf on top of the washboards with simple wooden brackets and they sell like hotcakes! I just found an old pair of wooden tongs that were used to pull the hot clothes out of the tub and not burn your hands. Love it, Georgia

Oooh this is so much fun...I made one with my niece for a school project and we had a BLAST!! It is a great way to spend some one-on-one time with a child. It stimulates their imagination and creativity while having a really good time. You did a much more detailed job than we did and I love the little ladder and the inside furnishings. Really cool, Georgia

Wow very clever use for a lamp that didn't work. Lamp parts are amazing aren't they? Georgia

I can only imagine what a family must feel coming from a horrible living situation to something that so many people put their time, effort, and compassion into. You all made someones lives so much better...you deserve a LOT of hugs! Georgia

Thank you for such a lovely post. It almost makes time stand still just to look at it. Imagine the sound of the rain on that tin roof and the wind blowing through the trees...just beautiful. Georgia

Jim, that is one CRAZY collection of soda bottles...I especially like the "tatie pop"! It's the tastiest! I had no idea there were so many different kinds of soda bottles. The wall unit you built is fantastic! I am always amazed at how talented you are, and always anticipating what you'll show us next. You did a great job making it look like it was made for those bottles. AND you are a crack up. I'm still laughing. I LOVE IT, Georgia

Jenny...HOW do you do it???? Always something new and exciting and simple and beautiful coming from you. Always amazing!!! Georgia

Thanks everyone for the support and nice comments...I could have used this while in the midst of this project. Luckily I DID have a good friend to help me through the process, gotta have your junking pals!!! I certainly learned a LOT while doing this one and it does make you think about all the packaging used in this country that just goes to waste. I really DON'T think I'll be coming out with a line of cardboard furniture, but it's not a bad idea ...JIM! Maybe I could send you a few thousand of these and YOU could do it. Thanks again my friends, Georgia

LuAnn..these are fabulous!! They look so cool..I love the blue one with the ginger jar on top. Just THINK of the possibilities! You have inspired us all to put some of these babies together. Fantastic post girlfriend, Georgia

Wow, what a terrific idea and a fantastic piece of "junk"! This is so unique and useful, besides the fact that it looks really cool too! You are SO awesome girlfriend. Georgia

I don't know how old they are but I know they are VERY cool! These are great and can be used for so many things. Have fun with them, Georgia

Well girly you came up with some fantastic stuff. And I think Candy was right..Doris Day was perfect for you! The chalkboard is darling and the screen project is just so DARN cute...now you have me talking like Doris...great job coming up with two fun LP projects, Georgia

PERFECT re-use for this amazing rack. What a fantastic find, Georgia

Now wouldn't this be the perfect adornment for a package! It is adorable and clever. How about coordinating paper??? Love this idea and I'm gonna DO IT! Thanks for the great idea, Georgia

This is a very very very cool planter. I just love it, Georgia

I think we are all glad to see this first (of many) posts. The ice box absolutely counts as junk...anything found, deserted, rescued or generally absconded (just kidding...NEVER abscond!) ...COUNTS! Great job and fantastic idea with the table leg, keep the new stuff coming. And gailmarie I have been wondering when you were going to show us some of your stuff..get on it girlfriend! Georgia

Rachel...what a cool place this is. I would love to shop there but do you think you could come out here and help me with mine??? You could just bring a couple of the boys..I'll play with the babies and let you play with the junk? Sound fair enough? Georgia

Boy I wish I had been there. What a great sale this must have been! Kudos to all who put this together. Great stuff! Georgia

Well ladies, you have a FINE collection of junk there and I know it will all find a good home to go to. It looks like a ton of fun and like Jim said...I'd buy it all too! Georgia

This is a really special piece. I'd bet ya that every single one of us would LOVE to have something like this. I know I would. This is a treasure! Georgia

J.K.You did good! I really love that you put it on a stand although I think it would look just as good on a wall. Either way it is a cool idea and something that would look great in any room. My brother would LOVE this...I may have to buy it for his birthday, whaddya say, Geo

I just love the color you chose. I think this light blue goes so well with neutrals and the colors of nature. Great job, Georgia

Amy, you built yourself a DINER!!! Love the retro look and all the inspired ideas. Georgia

Sue, you know "The Floral of the Month" is one of MY favorite features. They are always so different and every one of them are charming and PERFECT! I still say a calendar of these would be amazing!!!You could do a regular JUNK BEAUTIFUL calendar and one with the JUNK BEAUTIFUL florals...I'd buy them both!Really cool arrangement, Georgia

Sue, I can't believe someone would throw this away. Be careful out there on the road but have FUN! Georgia

Too cute. Nice storage and a great way to organize your stuff, Georgia

Wow you did a great job. Love that you rescued the colanders from Walmart! Too funny, Georgia

OMG Jenny...I am sitting here with mouth hanging open...you know the look!!!! This is absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I adore this piece. It is simple but it gives off a feeling of peace...that's what I get from it anyway. Your art always moves me in some way, and this one is tranquility.I LOVE your WORK, and YOU too, Georgia

This is SO cute. I love the pitcher, Georgia

I love these old toasters, and I especially like how you raised it up with the cake plate. Really clever idea, Georgia

Janis these are great ideas for bringing the bling into the garden. I can see these all grouped together on a table too. Ingenious use of the unexpected, GEORGIA

Sue these are great tips. As a yard sale fanatic I know that if there is nothing to catch my interest from the truck...I just drive on by. I certainly would not pass by one of your sales!!! The colors and organization just scream GOOD STUFF HERE! If there is a fun and festive atmosphere it makes it even more enticing. I can use some of these tips in my shop as well. Thanks for the help, Georgia

Ha...you must be "raking in the dough...these are really cute. Good idea with the rake head, Georgia

This turned out so well I LOVE the Dos Equis Beer cap for the 20!!! Really clever to find all the numbers, great job, Georgia

Oh I love the leaves!!! What a darling idea, these flowers are so cute...and THEY wont die! Perfect, Georgia

Oh so cute. Don't we all just love those faucet handles..they seem meant to be flowers. Lovely and charming, Georgia

Jim, you are becoming QUITE the gardener and a regular fixture at the nursery! Soon you'll be spouting latin names for all the flowers and giving us tips on what to plant! I love the way you have brought all that color to the base of the tree. It looks fantastic and I just LOVE the bunny rabbit! Cool yard! Geo

Sue, I was totally blown away by just how great this segment was. You really put together a great set, fantastic tips and you and Matt were quite a team. I could tell he was really impressed with everything. You looked beautiful and relaxed, I don't know how you can do that but you are really good at it! What a fabulous job you did! Georgia

Very nice little vignette. Love how all the stuff seems to just go together. Really pleasing to look at. Georgia
PS LOVE the directions to the kids!!!!

She looks brand new! You did a good job making her "young" again. Georgia

Oh this is my kind of fence...I LOVE what you have done. So rustic and charming, wonderful use of the beds too. This is just a DARLING garden, Georgia

JUst LOVE the look of this greenhouse...what is it again that you do in there? Oh, grow things...I'm out. I have no talent for growing anything but it sure does look cool. I can't wait to see it with all the plants that YOU'll be able to grow. You guys did a fantastic job. Georgia

Well Sue this is hip, cool and sophisticated. Elizabeth must have really loved this when she got home! What a great momma you are. She is so lucky that you have the talent and creative eye to come up with a surprise like this one! Fantastic combination of colors and styles as only YOU can do! Love it, Georgia

OMG sister girl!!! This is INCREDIBLE!! I really love this one. Have I said that before??? I can not believe what comes out of that LAB...there is definitely some magic going on in there! You have the Midas touch, everything you make is so out of this world! You are the BEST, Georgia

Oh my good-NESS, as my girlfriends like to say!!! Beautiful, tasteful, chic, charming, sophisticated.... classic Janis! You have done it again, Georgia

Great pictures, great dialog, great info, great JUNK! I love the way you write, I felt like I had been there with you. A few minor disasters always make for a better story, so you're lucky...major disasters aren't so good. Love the personal touches to your junking trip, lots of fun to read. Good grief that couch is the most hideous thing I have ever seen...it looks like it would HURT to sit on it...not that I would. Can you imagine, who would buy that thing? Wish I could go with you someday, what fun! Georgia

Very very very nice. What great ambiance this will create, Georgia

I think everyone that gardens would LOVE to have one of these. Really nice job, Georgia

I know more than a few people (you know who you are) that would be hyper-ventilating at the sight of such a great big pile of GOOD junk...INCLUDING ME! I love to see what everyone is finding out there, it proves that less is going to the landfill and that is a great thing, Georgia

Trey, welcome to the world of Junk Market Style. With the talent and eye for style and design that this pieces proves you have, you will do well. You took pieces of your past and redesigned them into something relevant in today's world. Using the old wood and windows in this way will show people that you don't have to throw everything away when you are done with it. Spread the word with your talent and art!!! Great job, Georgia

Candy you are so amazingly funny and creative. I love what you have done and how you incorporated the album cover into you "Baby Album" You are a hoot! The other ideas were fantastic as well. I am enjoying the humor that this challenge is bringing out in all of us. Sue did a GOOD thing!!!! Georgia

Wow you've been a busy girl! Lots of cool re-purposing going on here, Georgia

I like flowers and girlie things too. This room looks really cozy and I'll bet Gramma LOVES it, Georgia

Darbygirl, the b&w photos look terrific in this old window frame. great job on this one, Georgia

Well lookie there. It works both ways for me. As Sue taught me...always turn things around, over, upside down, or sideways in your hand... or at least in your mind. Georgia

Oh Boy...those Hendry's really do know how to GLAM it up while camping. I love the fact that she pulls out all those gorgeous vintage fabrics and makes a comfy little world for her family and guests. They actually make camping look like FUN...I'm a little partial to the basic necessities of indoor plumbing but I could do this ...for a day or two. Geo

Well you have been a busy little bird! Got ya some good stuff there gal. Love the shutter cabinet the most of ALL, Georgia

Oh yeah this could work anywhere. Good job of pairing these things together, Georgia

Jenny, I love these. They are so adorable, especially the one with my name on it!! Not that I don't LOVE New England too. You do such amazing work I am always so excited to see another of your fantastic projects. Love ya, Geo

Jim. You. CRACK. ME. UP. What a fun and fantastic post!!! You and TJ did a great job collaborating. I love the sketch of course and YOUR lamp is totally cool. Great minds think alike and then greater minds take it to new heights...mine looks a little wimpy... but hey you did have Tom Jones helping you. Cyndi was NO help at all "She Bop-ped" around but didn't have much going on in the junk department! Anyway the shade is the best...love the light holes you drilled in. Thanks for sharing your time with Mr. Jones with us.You guys did good, Georgia

Wow wow wow Lani, I LOVE this idea. So cool! What an excellent idea this was. GREAT JOB KIDDO, Georgia

What a bunch of really good money saving ideas that also are charming and beautiful. Perfect for an outdoor wedding. This has to be one of the smartest ways to decorate on a budget, weddings so often get out of hand and you end up with nothing as personal as this. Great job, Georgia

Wow that was quick. It turned out beautifully. Really good job and a great idea. Geo

Well you have certainly amassed a great big giant bunch of good stuff! Good luck with your sale...not that you need it with all that, Georgia

Oh what a precious picture. It says it all... a wonderful gift, a thoughtful neighbor and an appreciative friend. Georgia

I love how you took to this challenge. I think I had a more difficult time coming up with my projects than you did! You are a whiz at this stuff. Great idea, Georgia

See I told you she knows how to throw a party. I had the BEST time and laughed so much that it was hard to eat...well, Ok it wasn't really HARD, especially with the fantastic food that was served, but it did TAKE a lot longer! Put all us gals in a room, or on a patio in this case, and hysteria is on the menu! One of the best parties in a long while and it was so much fun to all work together on the table setting. This is a wonderful idea that I suggest you all try this summer, talk about an ice breaker, no one can hang back with this going on! Thanks again Sue, Georgia
PS centerpiece instructions coming soon..I promise.

This gal knows how to throw a party! This would come in handy at any get together. Love love love it! Georgia

Sue this is a super cool planter. I love the holes in the bottom, the feet you used, and the cocoa mat is perfect for a large weave basket...better than moss for sure! Your photos are great and your instructions are, as usual, entertaining and informative. Way to go, another great plant project, Georgia

Very very very nice. I love this style, it goes GREAT in a garden and I'll bet it sounds charming too, Georgia

Gosh those DO look like hats...they don't look like that in MY house! Great way to utilize lots of scrap materials and make them fun and beautiful. Georgia

Simple, elegant and classy...Georgia

WOW you gals did a FABULOUS job!! No wonder things were flying out the doors. What a fun filled day to be sure. Wish I could have been with you all. Love the store and good luck to you all, Georgia

Now THAT is COOL!!! What an inventive and awesome project. I LOVE it, Georgia

Very professionally done and great choice of fabric too. Georgia

Bee-U-Tee-FUL!! I love what you have combined here to make such lovely one-of-a-kind pieces. Just like you to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary!! Georgia

Kathy my friend, YOU don't need any training. I have been wanting this to happen for quite some time. I knew you would be perfect. You are FUNNY, talented and about as enthusiastic about junk as anyone else here. Great addition to our little team . Glad to see you contributing all your abilities to this site. Good luck this weekend , sounds like FUN! Georgia

These are BOTH fantastic. Love how you made each one's style go with the shape of the cage. Really good job, Georgia

Nothing better than an old window with doo-dads attached. cool window, Georgia

This is pure genius. It looks amazing! Georgia

Hey there. This is a great first post...you got us all a-twitter! Love your bio, Georgia

What a cute idea. Very fresh looking, Georgia

Yep, this is what I call a true transformation. You can hardly tell it is the same table. That is a major renewal...kinda like a face-lift! Georgia

Absolutely darling!!! Georgia

Buttons, barn wood, hooks and a faucet...what could be better?...oh yeah...WINGS!!! You got it all, Georgia

OK Kathy, I think this is just great too, but what I like most of all is reading your post...you are SO funny. Very entertaining my friend. The lamp is a great find and you did an excellent job once again. You're fantastic, Georgia

Wow vicmac...those ARE some REALLY big wheels...you could easily take that baby anywhere! You did an awesome job and it will be nice to be able to roll it around and keep the supplies hidden as well, Good job, Georgia
PS your profile is funny!

Boy those old sewing machines really are something aren't they? So ornate and HEAVY. Makes a GREAT table and you guys did a fantastic job, Georgia

I LOVE surprises! These are so cute and with an unexpected treat to boot! You did a great job and I can't wait to see more "surprises" from you, Georgia

Kathy, what I wouldn't do to be there and shop shop shop! It looks like a great show and your spaces look like big fun for sure! I love all the info you gave and will have to put this on my list of "things to do". I can't wait to hear about all your adventures and get a look at what you have for sale. I sure wish we had a section here on this site for purchasing each others projects and junk. Wouldn't that be cool?...kinda like a little classified section. Whaddya say Sue? Let's all try to talk her into it...I think it is a FABULOUS idea...don't you? Georgia

Sue, no one, and I mean NO ONE can do this sort of thing as well as you. Every time I see one of your planters, floral arrangements or even just potted plants I am always surprised and delighted by the items you have used and the way they look when put together. You are the master....and this is another masterpiece, Georgia

Sue I remember Bart!!! I think he looks adorable in the bathroom. What a nice greeting you get when you walk in.I love your attention to detail...nobody does it better! Georgia

Candy you are SO funny. I would go visit my parents on a really regular basis (with empty seats) if I could get great junk like this. This looks like a photo from a GREAT day at the flea market...not a trip home to visit the folks! I would be ecstatic to find this stuff ANYWHERE....they didn't charge you, did they??? Love it ALL, Georgia

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. I was pretty happy with the way things went but that usually happens at this show. The crowds are amazing and the "Speckled Hens" do a fantastic job to make it fun and profitable for all. Antiquesuzy, I am sorry but I did sell the lightening rod, it was a good one. Jim, you my friend are in luck, I still have the hose reel, so if you want it..it's yours. Email me and we can work something out. Thanks again everyone, Georgia

Oh my God I LOVE the happy little guy with the white bowl...he looks like a robot ready to serve you something good to eat. Sue bought one of these dental rinsing things at our local flea market and it is in her newest book...hers was blue. I don't know how much it is worth but is sure is FUN!!! Georgia

Jim, what a sweet gift for your Mom. I ain't nobody's momma, but I would love to get something like this for any occasion. The oil can is fantastic and the tulips look great, LOVE the color of BOTH. You take the most beautiful photographs too! I'm sure that your Mother was really happy to receive these. Georgia

Hi and welcome. It's amazing what a paint job can do for a piece of junk huh? You did a great job with all of these, Georgia

Ok everybody...can we say ICE CRUSHER!!! Sounds SO much less hazardous and germy than "meat grinder". I'm gonna give her the white roses, she's a bit traditional. Happy Mom's day, Georgia

Really good job on your FIRST potting bench. Love the door and all the trimmings, Georgia

Good God girl...were we separated at birth? All this stuff looks EXACTLY like what I would buy or what I have in the shop right now..AND I made shelves out of an old field crib!!! I decorated my last booth with old broken clocks, I have had that same blue bucket, enamel pitcher...So you know I gotta LOVE it! Georgia

Wow that is incredibly beautiful. I love the way the paper is curled at the top. Fantastic, Georgia

These bags are great! There is so much you can do with the seed sacks. I have a connection to get these sacks and raw bolts of this fabric (with no printing or colors on the rolls). The sacks usually come with stripes of red or blue but no words. I will post when I get them in stock...just have to make time to drive South to get them. They are all the rage and I can't keep them in stock but I would give all my friends here on this site first dibs and a good price. I'll keep you "posted" Georgia

REALLY CUTE! I like how you turned the salt and pepper shakers upside down. Darling, Georgia

Wow won't this be a great addition to all of your holiday decorations. It will work for any season...great idea having the hook on front. And in the mean time the birdies will be splishing and splashing! Georgia

Way to go tomatosister!! I really love the way this turned out. Don't stay away so long next time...we haven't heard from you for a while. Good to see you Back, Georgia

So far I agree with everybody...but check out page 40 of Sue's second book, "JUNK BEAUTIFUL, Room by Room Makeovers" She used some in the mud room, painted a crisp white, they look fantastic. How 'bout that for info at your fingertips? Georgia

Candy, I swear you get better and funnier with every post if that is possible. I love what you have done, it looks amazing and delicious too! Wanna share your recipe with us all??? Your Mom is one lucky lady to have you do this for her. I am sure she will love it. Happy Mothers Day to you and to all mothers, YOU deserve the royal treatment!! Georgia

Janis my friend these are so lovely. I really think anyone would love to have one of these. Georgia (including me!)

I love the newer MOD cutouts that you used, the color combo is terrific too! Georgia

Almost anything would look good on this lovely plate. So many uses and so pretty, Georgia

These should be called garden IN a chair. They turned out great and for those of us that don't have a "garden" to put a chair in, we could have one of these self contained gardens on a porch or small space. Love them , Georgia

And what beautiful junk it is too! You did a great job on these. Love them, Georgia

This really is a conversation starter. Sometimes it is just something like this that will bring more people in...and that's always a good thing. Fun! Georgia

Oh Sue I can just see you in the market trying cuffs on various jars...you could really embarrass your daughter that way!!! This is such a lovely way to set the dinner table. I think it would make each guest feel really special. I really love the way you combined the modern tablecloth with the antiques..and the colors are to die for ! Love it , Georgia

Hey girlfriend, you have done a marvelous job here. I really like the way you are showcasing all that fine jewelry on what many would say is just junk. These are great junk items that look terrific alongside the BLING!!! Oh yeah Gretchen I do have some of the green crystals that I would be glad to sell you. I will send info on the sizes I have left. Ok? Love, Georgia

What a great way to infuse some retro style into a blank frame. Glad to see that you are posting your first project. Can't wit to see what you do with the rest. I really like the colorful graphics on the black and white text. Good job, Georgia

Wow everybody...thanks for all the encouragement. I have been working hard and the first day of the show was such a success that I am going in this morning to set up a whole new BOOTH. It was amazing..by the end of the day I had only two larger pieces left and had only a little stool to sit on. I have taken photos to share but wanted to thank you all for being so supportive. Janis, I AM only about 3 hours away and would LOVE to have you come up!!! I may put you to work decorating the shop though...I just love your style and could use some of your elegant touches. What do you say??? I can't pay much but we would have some FUN!!! LOVE to you all, Georgia

Very very pretty way to display your vintage jewelry! Nice job, Georgia

Well isn't this just so clever! I think the members here are coming up with some fantastic ideas for this challenge, can't wait to get started on my own project...have to wait until I finish up this weekend at the Antique show. Then I will put my thinking cap on and TRY to come up with something as cool as this! Georgia

Kathy, what a haul of fabulous stuff. I can see all kinds of projects from this stuff. Bridget outdid herself and sent some amazing junk. I bet you were like a kid at Christmas! Great package to receive in the mail, Georgia

Ok ladies, get ready, get set and sell, sell, sell! You guys are going to do fantastically well!!! It is SO beautifully arranged and merchandised and the items for sale are fabulous!!!! I love all the natural colors and textures. And Gretchen your gorgeous jewelry will FLY out of there. Good job and good LUCK to you all, Georgia

Sorry about the multiple comments...computer mishap, Geo

Don't we all NEED a few angels in our lives and in our garden? I think these are so darling and add that touch of whimsy that every garden needs. georgia

Don't we all NEED a few angels in our lives and in our garden? I think these are so darling and add that touch of whimsy that every garden needs. georgia

Don't we all NEED a few angels in our lives and in our garden? I think these are so darling and add that touch of whimsy that every garden needs. georgia

Hey, this is a fantastic find. I think it would work just as well in the house as in the garden...I LOVE it. Can't wait to see more of your "Junk" finds, Georgia

Wow this seems like a LOT of work but worth it for the final result. Good job and let's see MORE! Georgia

Ok as soon as my head stops spinning I can tell you that I LOVE the finished project but wouldn't attempt this in a million years! What an amazing and detailed job you did! I can't even believe that you got the instructions written...much less accomplished. Can you tell that I am impressed? WOW..it turned out fantastic. Hats off to you, Georgia

Candy this is a great "A". You guys should hit up Jenny for letters...I know she just got a "new" batch in. She will be selling at the "Three Speckled Hens Antique Show" this weekend, as will I. I get to see all these great letters and other junk tomorrow night....before the show! Marie...enjoy Alameda, it is one of my faves. Next time I sell there I will let you know and we can meet if you can make it. Georgia

Ya-hoo, nothing like a great big pile o' junk to get the creative juices flowing. Looks to me like you've got the makings of some great stuff there. Georgia

More great photos Kathy! Just what we need to get our junking engines revving! Not that my engine isn't running at all times but with photos like these I REALLY want to get out there and find some JUNK! Thanks for sharing, Georgia

Spring has SPRUNG!!! What a cute way to use some broken pottery, really love the little vignette! Darling, Geo

Janis, once again a project with your very special "signature" style..everything you touch becomes...Beautiful! Georgia

This turned out very nicely. I love the old weathered boards and the memories off all the time spent on the old dock will live on with this repurposed table. Love the base too, Geo

Wow this would keep you amused for a long time. Lots of cool stuff inside there. Georgia

You MADE a nest with EGGS...how cool is that. Very good job, Geo

So cool. I am making necklaces with just keys for my Antique sale this weekend...I'm an amateur..keeping it simple. Your necklace is beautiful, Georgia

WOW nice job Ginny! Love the colors and the flowers. Really neat, Geo

Well you beat us to the punch for sure with this great use of both album and cover. Now we're all motivated to create! Thanks, Geo

Jim, you know what I like about this project, besides the fact that it is amazing as usual, is that you put both of them together. Most people would just hang each one under a window...which would be cool too...but this makes a bigger impact, and when those darling little flowers get going (growing) it is going to really be striking. What a great spring addition to your yard, and knowing you as we do, you'll probably be able to make this look fantastic during the other seasons as well! See, none of made fun of you..so far..we haven't heard from SUE!!! Really nice job, Geo

Tres chic!!! I really love this idea. It made BOTH frames look better. Good job, Georgia

Lani, what a great project and a fantastic way to preserve the memories of our time in Texas. I love the mailbox frame... it is so cool with the name plate and the hinges on the bottom. Very clever of you my dear. Thanks for showing this project and reminding me of the Texas FUN!!! Good job, Geo

Sue, this couldn't have been timed more perfectly for me. I am so inspired by this centerpiece that I am going to plant a small terrarium for my Antique show. I had thought about it and was not sure what to do for the ground cover since it had to be shallow. This darling table-scape is just about perfect for what I want it look like. Thanks again for all of your creative and beautiful ideas. You just made my LIFE easier! Geo

This is darling and would look good inside or out, great job of painting it too!Geo

Very very very cute!!1 I love this. Georgia

Great looking sign. did you paint it by hand??? I am always so in awe of people that can do this. Just lovely, Georgia

WOOHOO, sounds like a junking good time to me. Hanging with the girls, finding cool stuff and all the laughs I'm sure you had on the road makes for a successful trip to me! Glad you had a good time..and some people call this WORK! Lucky us. Geo

This is very striking. It looks beautiful, Georgia

What a wonderful, versatile piece this is. No wonder it got a lot of attention...I could think of a million places to use it. Great project. Well done, Georgia

What a CRACK-UP!! I just laughed when I saw her. She will bring you many years of pleasure as she settles into her new home. Georgia

God I love old painted metal! I don't care what it is I am just drawn to it. These are really lovely and on the fence they are DARLING! Geo

Once again...I think you are really talented, Georgia

Gretchen I think you just get better and better each time I see your work. These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! You have a very special talent, Georgia

Maggie I am glad you got it and you like it. I will post a picture of MY gift later today! I love mine too. This junk-swap is a GOOD thing! Georgia

I can't wait to see what you come up with all this wood. Hope you find some buried treasures along with the wood, Georgia

Perfect for little girls....well big girls too! Really cute and you did a great job on the paint. Georgia

Troy I think you made this project sound more simple to execute than it really is. You did an exceptional job and I know first hand how hard it is to do...I've tried...and my results were not ANYTHING like this. Really fantastic, Georgia

This is really pretty and would look great on any table. Good job, Georgia

Really cute design!! Georgia

Hey...you CAN paint! I guess that explains the name...you're good too. I really like the colors that you chose, Georgia

Oh how I love to see the treasures that everyone finds. Really great bunch o' stuff! Geo

Oh my leetle ratty friend...how could i have missed this wonderful post??? I love what you did and it looks great. Sorry I didn't see this until Candy did hers and posted the link. I use old pattern pieces in my collage art all the time. I love how it comes out kinda transparent but with the lovely aged color. When are you coming up this way. I miss you, Geo

Sue you got me pegged! Did you all realize that the title of my album is "She's so Unusual"??? All I wanna do IS have FUN!!! And I can imagine that I will be having a LOT of fun with this challenge. So far this whole post has been fun so it will only get more interesting as we go along. I laughed and laughed when I read these "Persona's", everybody's is really great but I think I laughed the hardest with Judy/Jenny...this should be GOOD!!! Love this idea. Sue you are a KOOK, Georgia

Miss J. how do you have time to keep up this pace? I am always amazed at how quickly you move on stuff. I think about them for way too long I guess. you are so good at seeing this stuff in the rough. I would have admired it and then walked away from it...partly because of the weight...partly cause I wouldn't have thought of a table. You think BIG girlfriend. I think you should decide whether it is indoor or outdoor...I wouldn't want to move it! love this one, Geo

Candy... this is just so darling! I love the natural color and texture with the bedsprings. What a great idea! This looks terrific up on your wall. I have one of the crib springs in the back. If I have time I may try one of these too. I really love it.Georgia

I swear I had a sharp intake of breath when I saw that first picture. I would be really happy with everything you found! It's days like this that make us junkers keep searching. Good point about looking in the basement while others are in the house.... always start in the dirtiest spot first! Georgia

This is a very interesting use of an old stove. I love the color. Great save, geo

Oh yeah....I love the textural differences. It is stark but beautiful at the same time. The flowing script next to the natural element of the wasp nest shows the beauty of nature and man. Very very nice work, Georgia

Well I'm pretty sure we are all going to be looking forward to your projects.Besides having good ideas, you have an eye for detail that some of us lack...and I'm talkin' about ME! You did a fantastic job, Geo

Love the rustic stuff...whitewash? or natural? Hmmm wonder what you'll do...geo

And more good stuff. Geo

Girl, Where have you been??? Glad to see you are out there getting the good stuff. Nice haul. Good to see you back, Georgia

Jim, thank you for giving us another glimpse into your home. You have a definite "signature" style that is always interesting and fun. I, like upyourattic am amazed to see a lamp that doesn't have a metal shade of some sort...what's up with that? You probably end up selling ALL of your project lamps immediately, and have to buy them from the store...god forbid!...to have any light in your house! Another cool and simple idea, Georgia

As another one that takes her "show on the road", I can tell you'll have a fabulous booth and a great sale. All of your hard work will pay off, big time! Good luck to you, and let us know how it goes, love, Geo

Awww, this is just too cute. What a good combo of rustic, vintage, and nostalgic items. Very nice job, Georgia

Yep...you're good. Very ingenious and so so so chic. Love it, Georgia

Well aren't you just the coolest chick!! I love what you have done and what a fantastic job on the upholstery. Really really cool job. Can't wait to see more of your MOD work. Love it, Georgia

oooh I love a good lamp...and a special shade too! Wow you did an amazing job. I LOVE this...georgia

What little boy wouldn't just love this stuff.The truck is very neat! Georgia

I love the whole look of this..and of course the green scissors are sooo cool. Great display and useful too. Good job, geo

Hi there. You could sell them to Jim...he seems to have it ALL figured out. Having worked in a record store during my wild twenties (a LONG time ago) I know that these used to be collectible. Do you still have the jackets? Or did they come like this? The color is incredible. You all know I would probably try to make a hanging lamp out of them...anything round is fair game to me! Good luck, I am sure you will do something great with these. Make sure to post your results, Georgia

Great haul! I am happy that everyone will be showing all the cool treasure they find, now that it is Spring and hibernation is over! You'll have no problems selling this fine stuff. Georgia

Lani, you've done it again. These photos are really good and the ideas are even better. What a great collection you have going. I love the way you have shown off simple but beautiful items in such an elegant way. Very cool girlfriend, Georgia

Jenny, It turned out even better than I could imagine. You've created a MASTERPIECE! I can't even relate to all the time and work it took to do this. I am coming by the office to see it in person. You don't mind if I drool a little do you? And maybe shed a few tears...good thing it is topped with extra thick glass because I am sure that's going to be the reaction whenever anyone sees it. No one will be able to even TALK to you for a few minutes after entering your office for the first time. It looks totally amazing!!! Incredible piece of art my friend, Georgia

Sue, you did a fantastic job!! It seemed to me that you made some new fans and friends with Hoda and Kathie Lee. I could tell they were very impressed with your talent...as well they should be!It takes a certain quality to be so relaxed and comfortable on camera and girl you've got it goin' on. You were GREAT!!! Loved the segment, Georgia

Ken this is a fantastic Idea. I love the way you modified the votive holders to fit in the chandelier. I am always looking for just the right sized candles but this makes it much easier. Thanks for the great tip, Georgia

Oh the kitty will be dreaming of catching fish all night long. What a great little bed you made for your little friend, Georgia

I think you got the Spring/Easter colors covered there! They really add something to the potted plants. Happy Easter to you and your family, Georgia

Happy Easter Lori, these bunnies will be so well appreciated for the holiday...maybe not for the newborn but soon she will be delighted with them as well, Georgia

Oh you did great with this. I love the photos, ribbon and tag. Seems like you channeled several of our very own junkers with this one. Good job...is it heavy? geo

Well this sure is a pretty picture, and a great idea. I am amazed at what you think of that can be done with just a few simple items...it always turns out so beautifully. Fantastic as usual, Georgia

Oh boy, can't wait to see you on air. I know you'll do such a great job and everyone will love you...just as we do. I am excited to see what you use for your projects and how it is set up. It will be amazing! Love and good luck to you, Georgia

Oh Gretchen I love the second version. I like the way the colors all go together perfectly and kind of cascade (I love the word cascade) down from the flower. Great job, Georgia

You did it! It turned out darling. Great job and a really good suggestion too, Georgia

Oh this is a great piece. I really like how you used all the hardware to make a flower, very cute and functional too. Georgia

hmmm, great idea with the cinnamon...probably smells as good as it looks, Georgia

Well it's about time huh? Glad you got over your fear of posting! You did a great job on this and I really like the yardstick too. Hope we can see some more of your wonderful projects, Georgia

Yep, the lamps are lookin' good around here! What a great idea. Georgia

It is so great to see all the different lamps and shades that are being made! I love the industrial shade on the vintage lamp...feminine industrial perhaps??? Good job Cynthia, Georgia

FUN FUN FUN stuff. What else can you say about these pictures! Georgia

Great use for something that gets overlooked all the time. It has a great vintage feel to it. Georgia

Very cute stuff, are you having an Easter party with all these great projects. They'll look terrific on your table. Georgia

Wow you really added some nice touches to this lamp. It is now a one-of-a-kind find! Georgia

What a creative and unusual lamp you have made. No wonder it sold right away! I really like all the stuff that went into this fabulous lamp. Georgia

Jenny, I'm pretty sure that I say this every time you put up one of your new creations...but this one may be my favorite!!! What a GREAT great great piece of junk, leave to you to make the best use of it too. What a COOL piece to add to all the other cool things you have come up with. Love it, geo

Sue, this must have been a near impossible thing to do...JUST 10??? I saw a lot of this stuff while in Texas too and even bought some of it! What an amazing array of wonderful junk that was available to us. I wish I could have gotten more but since I was flying I had to settle for the smaller stuff...which is OK too. We had the BEST time and I encourage all of you to try to attend next year. Sue and Shelly put together an affordable and fantastic trip for us. We had a great house for us all to stay in, events almost every night, special dinner parties, and breakfast made every morning by our friend Thelma! We stayed at a beautiful ranch and it was such a comfortable way to rest between junking during the day and hoe-downs in the evening. NO ONE should miss a chance to participate in a junking journey like this one! See y'all there next time, Georgia

Sue, thanks for showing us the delightful pictures of this AWESOME shop. I unfortunately missed this day of fun by coming in to Texas late the NEXT day. Oh well I'll catch it next time. I sure can't complain cause I got to do some amazing things while in Texas and will be doing a post on my adventures later. Talk to y'all soon, geo

Jim what a FUN lamp. I love the colors you used. I also want to know how you did this? A little more info on how everything is attached would be good. This one is a little different than the other lamps you have made.I really LOVE it. Still want more info though..don't hold out on your junking pals here. OK? OK. geo

Hi Janis, Ok what more can we say here...YOU'RE AWESOME! Everything is always so pretty, and I look forward to every post you put up. You are simply amazing my dear, Georgia

These are SO pretty, the color of the green and red one is really beautiful, but then I like the neutrals too. Hmmm I guess I just like them ALL! Georgia

Very fancy! I love the vintage style of the salt and pepper shakers with the pretty glitter. Georgia

OMG this made me laugh sooooo hard! Picture number 3 is the funniest thing EVER!!! It looks like he was talking to you! I LOVE him. Geo

Wow this is one cool Lard press...not that I have ever seen any other lard press...wonder why you would want to press lard??? But it sure makes a great utensil holder. geo

I see you got your picture up. Good job and I love the old door.... so many uses and that is a beauty! Georgia

Very nice place to "work"...more like a play house to me! georgia

Oh yeah they are cool! Georgia

Great stash. I had about 15 feet of the strappy cistern water thingys hanging on your wall and I cut it into pieces with three of the tiny buckets per string and planted small succulents in them and they all sold at my shop. Everybody loved them. You have a lot of raw material there. Welcome to JMS and we can't wait to see more of your stuff, Georgia

Very nice work and such a beautiful cabinet that you saved from obscurity. The finish is fantastic and the whole re-do is perfect, Georgia

Wow this is a great transformation. I love the rustic metal look...and storage..what a deal! georgia

Darling darling darling idea! Geo

This is a great project. I love the way you used the old game board as the table top. Very cool with the holes, and the star shape, I really like the way this turned out, Georgia

I have never seen anything like this. It is way cool and very beautiful. Love it, Georgia Oh, and welcome to the JMS site!

This is so creative and cute to boot. I love how it all fit together, Geo

Darling little bookcase. I like the way you have displayed all your thrifty finds. geo

Very very clever. Amazing what a little paint will do! Georgia

Jim, you are so amazing and funny. I love this...just think, a lamp with a built in laundry hamper. You just don't see that everyday! I love, love, love all the hardware bits and pieces you used...I have a thing for pulleys...and the graphics on the bucket are so cool. YEP...I LIKE IT. geo

Sue what a lovely lamp. I really like the way you left the cord out...no drilling! I too will miss Country Home and would not have found my way into your life without it. I remember being so inspired by all the articles you did for them and ESPECIALLY the one on the Central Coast of Ca.....when you missed me! Haha. We made up for that little blunder didn't we? It all turns out the way it is supposed to. Great tribute to all the people that you became friends with while working with them. Geo

Wow talk about doing a project from scratch! I love that you took the same elements and created your own version with what you could get. That's the definition of CREATIVE! You did an excellent job, Geo

Oh I am so happy that everyone is putting up their spring projects. This one is truly lovely and rustic at the same time, good job, geo

These are two really wonderful projects. I think you have done a great job here, Georgia

Janis...you are simply amazing! Everything you touch has the most elegant and beautiful feel to it. I love your photography too. You are a wonderful, talented lady and I always am so impressed with ALL of your projects. Just gorgeous! Georgia

Looks great! You can tell that the rest of the room is adorable cause you can see it reflected in the mirror! Really neat project, Georgia

Yes it does look adorable. This was good idea and it looks great, Geo

Well I love the clothesline! Those old ones are sooo cool with lights on them! the fence does look like it has been there for along time...sign of a good design, Georgia

Hey Sue this looks great. Really nice to see you today too. Good find at Alameda...see you there next month! Geo

I would say that spring has sprung! Let's all put our spring/garden stuff up right away and it will bring it to us sooner. Or at least it will feel like spring! Love this one, Geo

Wow TWO great horse projects in one day. I can hardly stand myself. I can't believe you made the horse parts yourself! Wow it is awesome, Georgia

I have never heard of this but I am gonna get some. Welcome to the site. With info like that you'll be a big hit here! And what a great idea, I have never seen anything like this before and we LOVE new ideas around here. I have one of these frames with the glass. Hmmm what to do? Thanks for the inspiration, Georgia

Oh J. you are so funny. I really like this, it is darling! Such a nifty idea and the garter belt is just the right thing here. LOVE it, Geo

OK. Fine. I'll tell the moss ball story...but I'm telling MY version of it. So this is what REALLY happened....
One day while helping my good friend Sue with a location shoot here in Ca. I was busily hanging fishing reels from a tree, putting casters on an old crate, fetching plants from the nursery, and doing any and all manor of MANUAL labor when, said friend, asked me to plant something in the basket that she had just hung on the wall, while she ran out to...do something. Anyway I look at the basket and say "the holes are awfully big" and SHE says "just fill it with moss" Well OK, I can do that. After picking out two lovely bushy type plants (my FIRST mistake) I start to fill the basket with moss. I keep stuffing it in and around the plants while calling for MORE MOSS! (My SECOND mistake) After using about 10 large bags of moss...I step back (#3) and check out my masterpiece....AND IT LOOKS LIKE A GIANT MOSS BALL WITH EARS!!!Stephanie and I were still laughing when Sue came back and you should have seen her face. She tried to be kind but it was hideous and we all knew it! anyway she has never let me live that one down...even though we fixed it right away and did NOT ruin her book. Everybody happy now?

Jenny, my dear friend, I my heart skipped a beat when I saw this. It is the most fabulous thing I have ever seen. I love it when you get something from me and turn it into ART. This one has heart, movement and beauty. I'm gonna cry...and you KNOW I will when I see her! Love you, geo

We are certainly getting into the Springtime mode here! so colorful and cheerful too! Geo

Wow. what a great bunch of stuff you collected. Love the architectural stuff. It looks very inviting and relaxing too. Great job, Georgia

This is so colorful and happy. I really like all the shiny colors and they look good enough to eat! Georgia

Wow you are so talented. I love this shelf and the tin looks great. I like how you aged it to make the design stand out. Very nice project..as usual. Georgia

Hi there cupcake! This really is an exotic dresser now. I really love the colors and the shapes that you created. What a great transformation. Very very cool, Georgia

Hey I think my guy and yours could be...brothers? maybe they are everywhere and only special junkers like us can see them. I love your little alien...Georgia

Hey he is darling. I love to do this sort of project. You did a really great job on this guy. Welcome to JMS and I hope to see more of your fun art, Georgia

Sue, you know that I really like all your Domino projects but this one is a real winner. I loved the soap dish you made once too. Do you ever run out of ideas for your little polka-dotted building blocks? So, so, so, CUTE! Geo

Junkinpunkin, I really really like this project. It turned out perfectly. It is a perfect size and the word "count" on the front just makes it! Fantastic looking project, Georgia

Great marriage of two different things. The aquarium legs are fantastic...I'm sure they are very sturdy and I love the iron look with the glass top. Really good job, Georgia

Your Mom should be happy. You gave her a great mantle without having to tear up the house! It looks really good, you did a great job, Georgia

This turned out so well. You did a great job and I love the chicken wire. Georgia

Oh yeah, I'm with YOU on the paint layers. I love to see what is underneath. Recently I sanded down an old cabinet that was green and to my delight there were two different pink layers and a creamy white. So now it proudly shows ALL the colors, just like your darling little table. Great job on the finish! Love it, geo

First of all I think this could be just an art piece and to think that a little birdie will be able to build a tiny nest in there makes it extra special! Love your design, Georgia

You should be happy with the results. The colors are fabulous and i love the way you glazed them...I love a good glaze...it adds just the right touch, Georgia

Really nice restoration job. I love the finish and you did a great job distressing too. It looks just right, Georgia

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these junkers from the swift completion of their appointed projects".

So Ok I changed the words...a little... but don't you think they apply to us too? What? a little snow and freezing temperatures? These minor obstacles can't keep Sue from delivering a lovely spring floral arrangement that makes you almost feel a warm breeze on your face. Great job as usual Sue. I always look forward to your innovative floral containers! Love it, Georgia

While I have never heard of a "Squirrel cage fan" I think that it made a perfect industrial looking lamp! Great job. Georgia

Well this is just a great big stack of goodness! I love it all and you have put them all to good use, Georgia

Candy, this post really touched my heart. It is SO special and I am sure she will love to have it hanging in her room. You are a good sister and this is a great idea for a place with little extra room. I love it, Geo

Wow this turned out so nicely. I love the style of it and the paint finish is great too. Welcome to the club! I'm sure we'll see many more of your projects now...you'll be hooked! Georgia

I am on it now too! my name is msgeorgiamoon. I couldn't get any of the others I tried. Didn't know there were so many georgiamoon's out there! And here I thought I was unique! Ha.

This is amazing! I can't even imagine the work that goes into something like this. She is so cute! I can see why Re-Pete went for so much at auction...truly a work of art. Geo

Oh Midge you are funny. I can see your head spinning with birdhouse designs every time you see something with a hole in it! Very, very clever my dear, geo

This is absolutely darling!!! I love the color, fabric and especially the embellishment on the sides...great job. If it were bigger I'D sleep in it. geo

OMG Sue this so darling I can't stand it! I laughed and laughed when you said "grab a-hold of the handle and pull it across the table...just for fun"! That DOES sound like FUN. It's just one of those little things in life that bring us joy. You made my day with this fun and charming project. I adore it and YOU, geo

You did a really great job on this project. Interesting design and great detail make this a real winner! Geo

This quilt is very colorful and cheerful and warm. all the things you look for in a cozy bedroom. Very nice work, geo

They are all really lovely. You did a great job displaying your spring things under all the fantastic cloches...I think we all have spring fever now! Geo

Darling, darling, Darling. I love this look and you have it set up beautifully. Good luck in your new booth...I can tell you'll do well.Love, geo

Bravo! Good juju... you got some coming back atcha! What a fantastic gift. Love the idea of the pink briefcase! Geo

Jim I am constantly amazed by your talent. I can not imagine being able to paint like you do...you matched the colors perfectly! YOU are something ELSE!!! I was going to make a bunch of "ALL" puns but I decided to spare you..OK?(see) Love all (oops) you projects all (oops again) the time, Georgia

Sue these are great tips and words of wisdom from a veteran flea market shopper!
This is how I have done it in the past:
I show up late and start buying the first thing I see, with only $16.00 and an ATM card in my pocket, sweating bullets while I try to find the stuff that I impulsively bought, that I didn't need in the first place. Then when I can't find all the items that I've grossly overpaid for, it will now fit into the back of the TRUCK when it starts to pour down rain.
I've learned all these lessons the HARD way and try not to make the same mistakes twice...ok three times. Thanks for all the "Rules of Engagement" Sue I think I'll print this out for future reference, Georgia

OH yeah, this looks super good. I can not believe that you TURNED the legs. WOW. You did a fantastic and professional job. I love the size and I'm guessing that it is ten feet long??? I would love to have one of these in my shop. Love it, Georgia

HI, I had planned to make something like this...a while back and never got to it. I now think that I should have. I still have the old machine and I would NEVER paint a shade but this looks so cool that I will put that project back on the list of things to do. I had planned to put my shade in the middle of the machine but I love it offset like this. Really good job and an inspiration for me to get to WORK!!! Thanks, Geo

These pieces are great together. I really like the simplicity of it and the natural colors are perfect. Love it, Georgia

OOOh This is a grand thing to receive in the mail! You are a lucky girl and the button flowers are fantastic in the tubes. Georgia

Oh you are clever and patient. It looks so cool, and you did a great job with it too! Geo

Wow. This gives new meaning to "Play it Again Sam"... what a fantastic transformation and a great idea. Looks like you worked really hard but it paid of...big time! Geo

Gretchen, it takes a certain talent to do something like this and you have it in spades! Really beautiful jewelry that any of us would be happy to own. Really pretty stuff, Geo

You've already got me hooked. To anyone who hasn't done this..it is really FUN and I have gotten some fantastic junk packages and projects. Thank you Rachel for doing this again...I know it is a lot of work for you (mama) and we appreciate it, Georgia

Candy, Any guest would be so pleased to come into a room filled with such warmth and thoughtfulness. Your friend is a lucky girl. I love the zipper the best of all. You are one clever lady. Georgia

Amy what a beautiful way to display your rolls. I love them just as they are, not everything has to be dismantled to do something fabulous with it, and you showed us that for sure. I still want to do the whiteflower roses too...georgia

This is a junkers dream right here in front of our eyes. Pinch me! I think we all would love to come over to LOOK at you stuff...with wads of $$$$$ in our hot little hands! Begging you to just part with one tiny thing. You gotcha some goodies goin'on girl! Georgia

JENNY You are INCREDIBLE!! I have had that little stand around forever and wanted to do something with it but couldn't find the right project. This goes to show you that sometimes the right project comes from someone else! This is fantastic and I would have never been able to create this beauty. It certainly went to it's rightful place! It is so you and it is really fabulous. You must have rushed home with that little baby and started creating the second you walked in the door. You are a wonder to behold! Love you, geo

Janis I cracked up when I saw the picture of you with the kitchen knife. That sounds like something I would do but with disastrous results! This is a beautiful project and something that would make a great gift. You are so good! Georgia

Jenny your office is looking better all the time. I can't wait to see the DESK! It will be amazing! Hey is Jim (junkarchitect) going to sell you the reel lamp? Did you see that I was on your side with that one...but I always will be..on you side! Love geo

Jenny, I can't believe you found all this great stuff. I have just mounted my letters that you so generously got for me and they look terrific. I will post the pic later today. We need to get together soon! Love ya gal, Geo

Oh have I been there before. Sometimes I just keep on going and painting and adding stuff until I have completely ruined it or it is beautiful!Good job on yours, Georgia

This is so darling. I love your fabric. I'm a girly-girl too! Geo

What a beautiful piece. Your addition to it makes it even more special. It is definitely one-of-a-kind now. Love it, Georgia

I think you should wear them too and if you don't I will! They are very cool and I love the color. Georgia

Ok alicemom...you have to forgive me, sometimes I am not thinking...at all. I thought you meant that it came OFF of a beehive. I have no idea why I thought that, I've never seen a beehive with a knob. I feel like an idiot... and I am laughing like one too! Georgia

Sue, this is a match made in heaven. Your ideals and vision of reuse walk hand in hand with this amazing organization. There couldn't be a better pairing. I hope that this relationship continues for a long time and that we as members can in some way contribute some of our time or projects for donation. Please let us all know what we can do for this cause. Georgia

This is very interesting. I would never have thought to do this. It looks very modern and would be very comfy with a nice cushion and a beverage of your choice. Georgia

Well you gotta love that! It is just fantastic! Georgia

I just love the words "England junk trip" wish I could say them and have it be true! What exactly is a beehive doorknob? I have never heard of one but I like it. Love the tin shelf, your husband did a good job on that one. Georgia

This came out great. Places to hang things are always handy but these look good too. Super job, Georgia

Really really pretty. The aren't mediocre any more! Georgia

I really enjoyed watching this project actually be made in your DVD. It is such a great idea and you guys had a lot of fun doing it too! Georgia

This turned out very nicely. I really like the architectural lines of this frame. The bead board was a good idea too! Geo

You can't go wrong with an old map and it looks really great on this table, Georgia

Very clever. You are lucky to have someone to share this with. it makes it even more fun, Georgia

I really like how the pages look on the bread box. I don't think it went south at all, Georgia

This is really great looking. I know someone else that really likes the bottle cap look. Really cool looking wreath. Georgia

This is one of the best ideas I have ever seen. Everything about it is perfect.... concept, color, beachy but understated feel, and usefulness! I LOVE this one! Georgia

Jim, usually I just get on and tell you how much I love your project, and how talented you are and how creative...and all that is true, but this time I am going to tell you that I think you should sell this to Jenny..why, you ask? Because then I'll get to see this fantastic lamp in person!!! I know this is self serving but what can I say...it is soooo cool! Great job on this one (as usual) and btw gotta love the teeny wheelbarrow! Georgia

Thanks for all the pictures of your amazing decor. You've been a busy little bee! Georgia

Wow, you have come up with a bunch of ideas here. What a creative person you are. Thanks for sharing, georgia

This is so nice...I'd bring it in the house! Good rescue and a nice paint job too, Georgia

Ooh la la these are all dressed up for the ball. What a cute thing to do with old bottles. Very romantic looking, Georgia

This is adorable too! You're good girl. Keep showing us what you got, Georgia

Very nice way to dress up a room divider. Nice colors too, Georgia

I think we are all in agreement about these pretty little cup cakes. They are so darn cute! Georgia

PS ratty..maybe you should use some colors other than black!!! Just kidding my friend...glad to see you are watching us...throw in more comments girl, you are TOO funny! Love ya, geo

Darling idea for the garden. I'll bet they look stunning next to some colorful flowers, Georgia

Very nice and I like that you used "sea-glass" to match the Bayou map on the back. Great job, Geo

Very very very pretty. you have a definite style going on here. Very romantic and soft. I love it, Georgia

Wow your birds have a fancy place to take a bath! and a very clever way to make a table. Good job, Georgia

Oh Bridget this just cracked me up! every bit of him is adorable. I am sure he will be a big hit at the auction..I know I'd bid on him. Tooooo CUTE! georgia

OOOH I like this! I love the texture and shape...I'm kinda partial to moons. When I was reading your post I got to the part about adding aged cheese, went WHAT? and then saw CLOTH LOL!! Whew, I have heard the moon is made of cheese but thought that would be taking things a bit too far. I really like all the extra added ribbons and things. Good job and very creative use of something that would usually be thrown away! Georgia ...moon

This is so much better than just straight wood. i love the curve and the metal accents. Great job and way to re-cycle, Georgia

Sue this is really a cute idea. I think it would be great to add some little lights to it. It will be so interesting to see when it is all covered. Make sure and show us OK? Georgia

Oh I love a good potting table...even though I will do anything but garden on one. I just moved one into my workroom as a project table. I really do like the way the fencing looks on the back. Great job, Georgia

Wow this is quite unusual and pretty. Amazing what can happen by accident, Georgia

Very nice display. I like all the different things that you brought together, Georgia

I agree with your attitude about ironing but I love what you have done with the old board. I have had several of these and didn't know what to do with them. Great idea, Georgia

What a great idea to make it look like a quilt. I love that you put the stitches in! Georgia

Ah this post couldn't have come at a better time.... As I am in the beginning stages of transforming the old men's bathroom that I have been using as storage (and I am using that term loosely, mainly because things have been literally PITCHED in and the door slammed) into a project/junk room. I need all the help I can get on how to organize my stuff. I'll get it looking great until the first time I actually DO something in there. I'm taking the door off the hinges so I can't just close it, and my mind, to the mess. Hopefully I can incorporate some of these super good ideas to keep things looking good and available for use. Wish me luck, Geo

Ok, for all of you drooling over Jenny's lab, I say...you should be...it is absolutely fantastic to be in there with her amazing array of junk. And to have free-(almost)reign with her junk is a gift to be sure. I wasn't going to waste any time in there, I wanted to be going home with something fun. Good thing I can laugh and glue at the same time cause there were more than a few times when less talented glue-er would have lost it. Sue, your narrative of this day is as funny as the real thing, and the pictures tell it all. What fun to be able to spend the day with the most amazing friends among all of JK's fabulously organized treasures. It was a day I will never forget and will cherish as one of my most fun times EVER!!! Georgia

Thanks to everyone for all your nice comments. I was really happy with the way it turned out. I was going to keep it for a while but it sold last weekend. Which made me even happier. I am always so surprised when I sell an art piece. I expect to sell lamps and stuff like that but when someone buys something of yours just to LOOK at, it's very special. Thanks to Sue for coming up with a great challenge. Still waiting to see yours though Sue! Geo

Beautiful bathroom and a beautiful memory. Thanks for sharing with us. It's awesome, Georgia

Hey this reminds me of working with Jenny in the lab. Our figures are usually much junkier cause we use metal stuff but this is adorable. How do you make the faces look like porcelain? I have a bunch of Santa heads that would be cool to do that to. I have plenty of time so, if it's not a secret, I might do this. Thanks, Georgia

Cynthia, this is so darn cute. I think everyone on the site has Spring Fever and this is a sure sign of it. Georgia

Beautiful job and a great idea. It looks so warm and inviting, Georgia

What a talent you have. You and WhatNots are amazing! Georgia

Oh I didn't want any classified secrets cause I would never attempt anything like this...I don't even paint. I was just wondering if you had to DRAW this on and then paint it or what. I guess was just amazed at the intricacy of the design. It turned out so perfectly I didn't think anyone could do this by hand. Fabulous job, Georgia

Bridget, I am coming too. I won't arrive until Sat. the 28th. so I guess I will miss the yard sales and Gatherings . Bummer. I know there are lots of things going on and I get to stay until the next Friday but I really wanted to at least do the yard sales with you guys. will you be at Leftovers on Sat eve.? I don't get into Austin until 5:15 pm so I am not sure what is happening there. Anyway I hope to meet you and have some fun! Love Geo

You must be attracted to the swirlly pattern to have bought these separately. Nice way to combine the rough and the smooth. Georgia

Now this is just adorable and it looks so good on your lovely porch. I like the way you used the half table for the bottom. I love the reflection of the blue door in the mirror too! Georgia

What a cute little bear. i can not believe all the great stuff that you find in that trash pile you haunt so regularly...I might just camp there...if I liked to camp...which I don't. Good save, Georgia

VERY cool way to display pictures. Great film holders too. I love the EXPOSED on the cover. Fabulous find, Georgia

You are a newbie no more! You did a great job with this project. I love the way you layered your windows and art. Good job, Georgia

This is truly amazing! You are really really really talented! This is too cool for words, Geo

This is a great idea . I really think it is cute and useful too. Wow, Georgia

I love this and think it is adorable but HOW in the world did you DO this??? a pattern, freehand, Just PAINT???? Man I can't even imagine doing something like this. How long did it take? I'm thinkin' I need some more info. I can't wrap my feeble little brain around this. Please help..I'm getting a headache just thinking of all those angles and patterns, Georgia

These are just cheerful! I like the way you wired them together and fanned them out. I think they look like Bird of Paradise...with a twist. Darling, Geo

The little birdies are going to be so happy to be at your house this spring. I can tell you are more than ready! Georgia

Now that is what I call using your noggin. What a terrific way to hide the cords with style! georgia

This is really pretty and a great find. Welcome to JMS you're going to love everyone on this site..Georgia

Oh this is so cool. I really like the looks of this meat slicer with the books. Great display idea. Georgia

Jenny, when I saw this in your office I didn't even know what it actually was but what I did know was that it is the coolest lamp on EARTH!!! and BTW her whole office is so cool with the greatest stuff! Georgia

This is way cool. I love the way they look on the cabinets. I love them..the chippy-er the better, Georgia

This idea works for so many things. I saw a store window display and in each jar was honey or something to do with honeybees. Very cute, and a great organizational tool. Georgia

Candy, this is so fresh and inviting. What a great display you have made with these simple elements. It looks like spring started in your entry this year! Love it and the photos are gorgeous...right out of a magazine! Georgia

Jenny my friend. First of all ...this turned out so perfect and beautiful I can't say enough about it or your talent. The tracks were a fabulous idea and they just made this project extra special. Second...I think you are so funny! So choosy about your adhesives...that made me laugh. Great, great, great project! Geo

Hey Jim, once again this is such a cool set-up. It's warm, homey, comfy and masculine at the same time. I love it but what I really want to know is...do you really use that old phone? We are so lazy now that it is hard to imagine dialing!!! Your house looks so cozy and warm even though I know it's freezing outside. Great job as usual, Georgia

This is just the most imaginative idea I have ever seen. I would have never in a million years thought of this. So much fun! Georgia

Janis, this is so adorable. It is perfect for Valentines day and I love how you kept it so simple with jut the dart and one word. Love your style. Georgia

hey it's seems to be working now. I just played the video and it was terrific...again. Georgia

yee haw sounds like a rip roaring good time and I can't wait to see the finished product. Geo

LOVE the Glider! Georgia

AHhhh, I would love to just sit down , put up my feet and read a book..with a tall glass of something refreshing in hand. What a lovely place to spend time, Geo

Sue this looks so much better hanging in your bathroom than it did in the shop. I love to see what people buy from me in there rightful place and this piece looks like it has been waiting to go home with you. Just perfect! Tell you husband he did a great job getting it wired so quickly, it looks fantastic! Georgia

Hey Sue, this looks adorable. I think the vines are great and when they fill in it will be darling. Good job ..again, Georgia

Really really pretty. Georgia

Very unusual and beautiful. I wish I had a ring of flasks.That was a great find at the Goodwill. Love how it all turned out. Georgia

Well well well,this is just adorable. How old is Vicky? and don't you have a son too? How many little junkers you got running around going through your stuff? I have three nieces that like to come over and go through mine too. Vicky, you did a great job with this arrangement, I think the tulips are just the right touch. Very nice, Georgia

Guess how many washers..and win a prize! This is too darn cool my friend. Can't wait to see your office, hows it coming along? Georgia

Yeah that's a GOOD one. I wanna spin it. georgia

This is a really great lamp, it's more like a piece of furniture a than a light fixture. It looks like something you would see in a great loft style apartment. I love it...a bunch, georgia

What a great use for an old drawer front. It is so cute and I love the feet, and I like that you left the pull on the drawer. nice touch, Georgia

Oh it's romantic all right. I love stuff like this. It's got a lot of bling! Georgia

That piece is so gorgeous. I love the front panels and the handles. Very cool save, georgia

OMG I would LOVE to shop there. I can see from the picture that I would go totally insane...just running around flinging things into a big huge pile to take home and play with. I'll be dreaming of this tonight, Georgia

I wish I could spend some time in your store. it looks like we have a lot in common. I see some things that I have had in my shop. Good luck with everything, Georgia

Oh yeah I'd trade in the sweater I got from my parents any day for something like this. Too bad they don't see things the way your parents do. Great re-purpose. Geo

Looks like a very loving family lives in this house. What a wonderful way to celebrate a time to be together. Georgia

Glad to see you join this crazy, fun, creative group of junkers we have here.You'll fit right in and, love every minute of it. Georgia

Oh so much cool stuff. I think you picked out some winners. I would want every one of your vacation treasures...even the Southern accent that you picked up! Georgia

Wow Kathy what a fun trip and I could spend weeks in a place like this. You'd have to DRAG me out kickin' and screamin'! Looks like you had a fantastic time. Good for you! Georgia

Oooh these are terrific. I love the candle holder story too. It is very posh, Georgia

I love your headboard. It reminds me of old buildings behind your bed...very architectural. You guys did an amazing job, Georgia

This is a really lovely piece now. We can all imagine what it looked like before from your description and what a transformation this turned out to be! I wish just once when I went "gonzo" something like this would be the end result. georgia

Happy V. Day to you too! You gotcha an arm full of cuteness in your picture, and I'll just bet you have a wonderful Valentines Day with all those babies around. Good job on your project, Georgia

We all know that Sue has a thing for flanges...don't we? Well, she does, and these would be right up her alley. They turned out very nice, and your details are darling. I love the industrial stuff more and more too...Georgia

Happy INSULATOR DAY!!! wow everyone has such great ideas for these. I guess I never really tried to do much with them, I've always thought they were too heavy or something...these projects prove that I was wrong about that. Thanks for straightening me out, Georgia

This is a real piece of art now. I really like the contemporary look it has, georgia

What a darling way to celebrate the BIG 1. It is so cute and so is she! Good job and I am glad to see you posting again. Georgia

Very cute and romantic to boot, Georgia

Yay Gretchen...we finally get a peek at your project! and it is is a GOOD one! I really love all the different aspects of the shadow box and how all the old stuff is tied to the music rolls. I would LOVE to hear your 45, the "Bad Little Boy Polka" it must be a riot! We can only imagine...
Looks like we have heard from all of the contributors so, SUE, when do we get to see YOURS??? Don't EVEN tell me you didn't do one, and if you didn't...get to work girl! Great project Gretchen, you did a great job with a difficult material. Georgia

Darling idea! Georgia

Wow this is really cute. I love the idea of putting the sleek metal in the chippy wood frames, great job, georgia

That's what I want to know too. How did you do this..exactly? Did you just cover the caning with the fabric and use the fabric mod podge or what? We really need more details...this is a fantastic way to repair caning without the expense.I love the idea of it, Georgia

This what I call "Beau-ty-ous" Georgia

These will bring back great memories of Willow, a beloved pet, for a long time to come. I'm afraid I wouldn't have gone with the toenail idea, but children don't think of it the way us adults do. My five year old niece wanted to keep her grandmothers skeleton after she passed...can you imagine! Georgia

This is right up my alley, I love this look. Great job, Georgia

Hi Ken, nice to see another of your great creations. Haven't seen you for a while. Are you making stuff like crazy for the Hens show in May? See you there, Georgia

This is a great way to bring all the elements of a party to one area. I love the lighting and creative use of the receipt holders! And I am sure no one would be looking at your dishes with this set up available. Georgia
PS Candy...you're so funny!

Wow I never thought to take my projects out on a field trip but I love the reflection you have captured. It is very lovely and will make a great addition to your home, Georgia

Jenny, this is what we call a marriage made in Heaven. These two pieces look fantastic together. I am so glad that I had that old blue stand for you, you put the right pieces with it and it looks great! Really super use of two fab pieces, Geo

Well you really did go all out with this Cherry theme. I like that some of the fabric picks up the colors but isn't actually "cherry" fabric. Thanks for posting these pictures for all of us to admire, Georgia

WOW these are SO graphic. I can see how you could get all caught up in making these. The colors are incredible and they make a bold statement when framed. Really cool, Georgia

Too cute!!! Geo

I've seen Jenny's art, including this one, in person and they are all so great that you can't stop looking at them. Usually you see a little detail you miss the first time you look at it. I love the layering of junk that goes on here. Geo

These things go with EVERYTHING! I love the white ironstone because it has strength and delicacy at the same time. Sorry I don't know much about it though, Georgia

Jenny, having three young nieces that I love as my own, I hope that I can, in some way to instill in them the self confidence that this message promotes. This is a strong message done in your usual incredibly insightful way. Love this one, Georgia

Well this is something that I have never seen before. What a conversation starter this must be. Very ingenious, Georgia

Very nice old cabinet door. I love what you have done with it.Do you uncork them in the spring and put a cut flower in each...that would be cute too. Love it, Georgia

Can we see the rest of this "Cherry Themed" room? I am sure it is darling, just like this project, Georgia

Wow this mirror would sell here in my shop in a quick minute! Since we are near the beach a lot of vacation home decorators are always looking for the beachy stuff. We don't have sea glass much around here, but I went to a beach in Northern Ca. that was covered with it, aptly called Sea Glass beach. It was fun to go through the sand and find so much. Next time I'll bring a BIG bucket! Love your mirror, Georgia

I can see that you will fit in around here. You're my kind of shopper. We all love a good deal around this place. Good job, Georgia

I think that this shelf is adorable and a great deal at $5. It must look so cute in your kitchen. Hope to see more from you soon. Welcome to JMS! Georgia

Once again Candy, you have done an amazing job! All of your ideas are fantastic and simple but look so great! I love the way you show that simple projects can still be elegant, romantic and fun. The lampshade is so inventive and a great use of the paper, as are all the things you have come up with. You did a great job on this challenge, Georgia

This is just too cute. I love the colors to. It will brighten up any room, especially against the white of the frame. Good job, Georgia

Aw shucks guys, it was nothin', and I mean that literally. I loved the way the metal looked and when I thought about turning it upside down (thanks SUE) it was...well...done. That was MUCH easier that the darn piano rolls. haha. Thanks, geo

What a cute and fanciful garden! This must be so much fun to watch grow and develop. I'm not much of a gardener myself but can appreciate the beauty of others work. Make sure and show us what you do with the space when you get started. Thanks for the lovely look at your garden, Georgia

This is something that I would love to have in my shop. It is so my style or at least this is the style I'd like to have. Great job on this project. Let's see more, Georgia

Very very pretty. What a nice arrangement you have in your beautiful cones. Georgia

Simply amazing. What else can you say about a transformation so very well done. Great ideas and super installation.It looks Fantastic! Georgia

I wanna make paper roses too. How did you do that? Do you mind sharing your technique? I think they are fantastic. I think you are fantastic too! Georgia

Very nice work Bridget, I really love the signs and the bird box is darling. I love the lettering you used. Wanna come make some sign for me??? Great job, Georgia

Hi Elena, what a lucky girl you are to learn from Sue, all the tricks of the trade. She knows how to get things done! I really love this whole idea and wouldn't it fit in perfectly with a rustic kind of decor?(Like my sisters's) I wonder why I don't see more of these out here in cowboy country, I'll be keeping my eyes open for one of these, it is a perfect frame. Love it, Georgia

Sue these ideas are so wonderful and they made me laugh, especially the bank deposit bag...can I have one of those too? Every single one of these Valentines would be welcome gifts for just about anybody. You are way too much girl, these are GREAT!!! gogo

Jim, Jim ,Jim, you really are a ROMANTIC at heart. This is so incredibly well done and professional, but still has the innocence of that little boy that lives inside of you. It is so beautiful and charming. I love how you tied it to your memories, but it has relevance to the music rolls too. God I loved Valentine's Day back then, I still remember the excitement of getting those tiny cards, and this project makes me feel the same way. Excellent job my friend, Georgia

Janis this turned out so darling. I have never seen the hoops with a solid back before. This was an excellent use for them and as usual very nicely set up and photographed..always so beautiful. Georgia
PS is that glue what you used on the music box. It seems so much smoother than mine does. I used mod podge on my project... that remains to be seen...and it is a little bubbly. Oh well next time huh?

This is a perfect way to handle those pesky rolls! Great job and welcome to JMS. You're gonna love it, Georgia

Wow, Great job...wish I had thought of this! I love that you took on the challenge with us and it really goes to show you how many things can be made with one item. It is beautiful, Georgia

Well these are just darling! So darn cute! Georgia

I bet this looks so lovely when it is lit. I love your porch too! Georgia

Ted is very cool. I love the copper. Georgia

This is just great. I love the action...he really is walking! Very cool job, Georgia

Lani, this is just so cool. I love the lamp and the shade is fantastic! I know how hard this paper is to work with and you did an awesome job! This is really fun and I can't wait to see more of the challenge projects. Good thing it is not a coontest...so far you and Janis have done exceptional pieces. Very well done and the idea was perfect. Love it, Georgia

Absolutely beautiful, you did such a great job. I love it and would sell in my shop for big $$$. Very nice, Georgia

This is a really cute idea. And don't ya just love a "toast holder" I know I do. I wouldn't mind looking at this everyday while sitting at me desk, Good job, Georgia

Hey Amy! Congratulations on joining the "club" of contributors. It is so much fun and I know that you will have so much to offer in your own unique style. Too bad you missed the big challenge...haha, but we'll get you next time! Love your grate project. I have one of these and hadn't figured out what to do. This will be one I'll have to try, Thanks, Georgia

Janis Are you KIDDING me...this is SO beautiful!!! I love what you have done. I'm callin' in sick. I love that this project is so definitely YOU. I hope that I have a stroke of genius today, I haven't been able to work on mine cause of my sale, but I'm on it now. You've inspired me. As always you do such fantastic work. I love it, Geo

These are so FUN!! Love the colors, Georgia

This is a very cute idea. It makes a perfect Valentines Day decoration! Georgia

Just darling!, Georgia

I'm pretty sure that I would LIVE in your potting shed! I think it is darling and all of your projects are too, Georgia

That table is the cutest thing I have EVER seen in my WHOLE life. And I've seen LOTS of stuff. And I think that you may be one of the clever-est (not a word, I know) people I have ever met. Even though I haven't really MET you...you know what I mean. Very, very, cool projects! Love them both, Georgia

You are extremely talented and I'm sure these are even prettier in person with the embossed design showing through! Lovely, georgia

You do have some great ideas. This one is so cute too. I'll bet your garden is lovely. Welcome to the site, hope to see more...Georgia

This turned into a real show stopper! What great treasures you found. It looks fantastic, Georgia

Sue this is great, your house is very pretty and you,ve done a great job with this display wall, Georgia

Oh yeah I'd be pretty happy if I got a gift in a box like this. These are super cute, georgia

I'm lovin' your name "lillypad" and I'm lovin' your project too. Keep sending us these great ideas, Georgia

You are a very talented artist and welcome to the site. We'll want to see them all now so don't forget to shoot us a picture when you finish a piece. Very nice stuff, Georgia

This just made my day. I started laughing...it is SO darn Cute. I love that kitty. Your friend did such a great piece. I bet he's hooked now. I hope you had as much fun as Jenny and I do when we get together to play "ART"! Did I say that I LOVE THIS KITTY, I think it is the expression on it's face that gets me! Georgia

I can't believe this is the same picture. Way to cover up something...shall we say, undesirable...into something lovely, great job, geo

Perfectly adorable. Anyone would be pleased as punch to get one of those for Valentines day! Georgia

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Those are the greatest find EVER and the price is blowin' my mind here. I don't think I can type anymore I"m all a-twitter, see...ahdl;jfuefkmehnf;kfnkv . geo

Ooh la la what a fancy little chic lamp you have made. Very cool, Georgia

I love the black and crystal, very elegant. I think you won't have any trouble now. They would look great for valentines day with red candy or hearts in them. Good luck, Georgia

Beautiful work on this shelf. it looks like the parts came together. You did an excellent job, Georgia

Wow this does make a statement and what a collection you have, very impressive... and a great way to showcase them. Good job, Georgia

Candy you are a very clever girl! I really think this turned out fantastic! What an innovative idea, and it is as cute as can be too. Really love this project.Geo

Sue you are just too cool. This was so much fun to read and the pictures are beautifully done. I always look forward to your floral arrangements...they never let me down, and this one is no exception. I love it and think that this is so darling! Who but you would make up a story to go along??? Georgia

OOOh I love this grate, it looks perfect! What a cool thing that it worked out so easily, Georgia

It looks like it was made to go there.... and you have an amazing collection of yellow ware! Perfect1 Georgia

Very very very nice work. What a beautiful door and it turned out great! Georgia

Jim these are so cool. One of these days you're going to have to build onto your house if you keep making all this great stuff! And since you have already mapped out your route to come visit...when are you leaving? Should I expect you later this week? I'm having a big sale and it's 75 and balmy here! I'll keep the light on...Georgia

I would surely wear this on a regular basis! very pretty, Georgia

I love the ones that just work out without all the blood, sweat and tears (ok maybe not tears) and work out beautifully simple and elegant. Meant to be! Georgia

Oooh, it is sooo pretty. I being a girly-girl myself and encouraging my nieces to be the same, would love to have something EXACTLY like this to perform our little miracles. We love to dress up and do our make-up...what a lovely place for just that. Every little child that gets her picture taken there will definitely feel like the most beautiful princess, and you gave that to them...great job, Georgia

Gotta love something so attractive and useful too. You are doing great on your challenge. I am proud of you and I am keeping my eyes peeled for more of your "on hand" projects. Great job, Georgia

Oh yeah baby...this is way cool. I think it looks so terrific on your table! Wow who wouldn't love this. A great reuse and it looks amazing! Georgia

Gretchen, this is just adorable. I really appreciate the instructions I would love to make one. And I will when I have some time. Sorry I haven't had time to comment on much lately but I am having a big sale at the shop this weekend. I had to tell you though how much I like this. Love it, Georgia

Oh this a GOOD one. One we have all morphed into at one time or another! Love that you can tell by her gauge where is on the Richter scale..mine is always a surprise! Great job as always, geo

Thanks everybody. Isn't it great when you envision something and it comes out just like that? I really love it too, and will hate to part with it but I am here to sell not just look at my stuff, so it will be sold. Sweet Melissa, I have heard this called a "field bed" too. I have even seen them where they have a screen on the top too...like a cage, but they would wheel the babies around while they worked in the fields...pretty cool to think of it..my how things have changed!! Can't wait to see what you do with yours. Georgia

Oh you are funny. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the whole post. I was smiling the whole time! You guys did an excellent job on this project and it nice to hear that all is well between you guys after all the work you put into this. I'm pretty sure that "me and mine" wouldn't have fared so well. Great job and can't wait to hear more of your adventures, Georgia

Darling darling just darling. I'll bet they are fun to make. Keep em comin" Geo

Well Janis, this is just about as darling as it gets. I like that they are in a random pattern...not so predictable and not fussy at all even though they can look that way sometimes. Really really cute, Georgia

Oh what a lovely comfortable and beautiful room this is. You did an excellent job on the furniture and it all goes so well together. I think I would love it too! Georgia

Wow these are so cool. What a talented girl you are. This is such great use of all these elements...what a fun thing to do! Love it, Geo

This is so fantastic. I can not believe how good this is...well I can believe it cause I know how talented you are...but this is amazing! I love the hankie drawer too. so so so darn CUTE! Good job, Georgia

Well looking at this makes me think that maybe you guys are mathematicians!!! How in the world can you figure out all those angles and turns and corners and different lengths and widths??? I am stunned by how hard it looks and what a great job you are doing. It is truly fantastic and can't wait to see it finished, LOVE IT Georgia

Hi. these are soo cute! I love old windows too but can't paint worth a darn. I love that they came from a museum, how cool is that?. Welcome to the site can't wait to see more, Georgia

Hi there, this is darling and I think it could brighten your day just by putting it on. I'm sure your niece will love it...so would mine! Georgia

I love this. I am really big on chandeliers and lighting. I think the use of the brackets is great. I may have to try one. Thanks for the inspiration...I love the bugs too! Georgia

Now Damon, matchmaking is dangerous and unfulfilling work. I know, I have created many disasters while just trying to help. She a darling gal and can probably find her own dates. You did an amazing job on her and I loved going through the list of items you used. You always have such different stuff...must be that cool salvage yard you haunt!Georgia

As I was digging through the tangled mess of chains, hoops and beads this morning I was thinking "Hmmm, I been seeing some pretty creative ways to solve this problem I'm having, maybe I should make something??" So timely as always, another idea to contemplate and this one is so inspiring to me. I know that the fan is one-of-a-kind but you showed me that it doesn't have to be super difficult and can still be cool. I love this project and maybe one day I'll show you mine...let's hope it's soon! Geo

NO WAY! I Can NOT believe that you covered this frame with leather! It is fantastic. What can I say... simply amazing. It looks like something that you would pay big bucks for in a store. GOOD JOB! Georgia

Very very pretty. I love the bed benchs as well. This one is so well done that it looks like a bench, bench, not something made INTO a bench. Nice job, Georgia

Wow all your jewelry at your fingertips ...what a novel idea. It seems I am still into the tangled ball that I struggle with everyday. I love that she has plenty of room and since it is sheer it doesn't look bulky. It's probably even prettier with the bling on it. Georgia

Hey, these are terrific1 They are fun to make and addictive too. I like how you found so many different materials to use. Really great job, Geo

Now this is an arrangement that even I could live with...and it could live with me. Seriously. I love your home and all the things that you have in it. It looks like a place that would be inviting and fun too! Love it Jim, Georgia

PS Please tell me that for the challenge you wont be BUILDING a PIANO or something to go with the rolls!!! Ha ha ha!

VERY cool. Nice project for your first post. Glad you decided to do it. I know we are all looking forward to many more, welcome, Georgia

This is really lovely and I loved your General Store/Hotel. Wish I was going that way on a nice long vacation. Maybe in the early summer though...or fall would be nice. It looks wonderful, Georgia

Nice job. Isn't it amazing what a few old pieces of wood can do for a room? I like what you've done here. Your house looks cozy and welcoming...what could be better? Georgia

Cool, cool ,cool, very cool. Georgia

These are great. Love the mismatched look. Georgia

I love these grates to and they are delicate. I have some that look like hearts and have done something similar with them...thanks for reminding me...another Valentines project! Georgia

I can't believe that this is the same stuff as in the first picture! WOW...You did an excellent job and the painting and gold leaf are truly a work of art. Congratulations, this is beautiful! Georgia

Try this...glue some fabric on the shelves and then cut trim pieces to go all around the perimeter an across the shelf fronts and paint those, It at least would look good from the front. Just an idea, georgia

Do you ever go IN the auction or just wait outside to go through the "pile" as you call it? What would be the point of going in and spending money when you get all the cool stuff for free, guess I will have to start camping out at auction sites! Georgia

This is a GREAT piece. I'd leave as is too, good save, Georgia

Really cool projects I like all of them...love the one with the dancing Dad! So cute,Geo

I love the graphics. Very eye-catching and colorful, Good job, Georgia

Dar-ling! geo

Well Kathy of course I do. I always wan to go where good stuff and good friends are. I hope you do super well this weekend and I really do wish I could be there. Looks like you going to do fine with all this nifty stuff. Don't forget to tell us all about it. Love Geo

Those patterns sure do bring back a lot of memories. Not well dressed memories though. What a cute idea. and you know how I feel about the button bouquet LOVE them, Geo

I wonder what that said and what it was a sign for. Love the color, glad you rescued it from the pile, Georgia

Well, I think we have a winner here. Sue I read the idea and went ..."What???" Then went back and looked again...and Voila I could see that too. Shamrockerin, I'd LOVE to see you do this...can ya, will ya??? Huh, huh, huh? Geo

I bet that gum is older than twenty years. That desk looks much older to me. I was in school 20 (30..ok 35) years ago and we didn't have desks like that! Good find and you always wait it out and get the good stuff for free. Atta girl! Geo

Wow this is a pop of color that could chase away the blues! I love the white chippy window and that just makes the colors more beautiful, Georgia

Wow I love her...but then , I love everything you do. You are such a thoughtful and supportive friend...and I oughta know! I know you friend will cherish this gift of love and art forever...and I oughta know that too! Love you girlfriend, Georgia

Oh Becky...you're good. Love all your posts and ideas, very creative and so darn cute too, Georgia

So darling, so cute, so country. These make GREAT sconces...good idea, Georgia

That must have been an interesting periodical that you used on this box. I love the print on it. Is the box metal or wooden? I really like the paint job too, Georgia

This piece turned out so well. I have been wanting to decoupage a piece of furniture, I'm going to do it for sure now. Any tips or techniques I would need to know about to make it look this nice?? Thanks, Georgia

What gardener/junker couldn't use one of these!!! It is really a great idea, useful and I love the way it looks too. This is a triple threat! Love it, Georgia

Oh JK this is so gorgeous. I really love the way it turned out. So so so cool. And Kari you are so right about everything you wrote and you said it such a beautiful way...Ralph would be proud...of you both. Georgia

Texasjunkermom...you just wrote exactly what I was going to write but I was thinking of bunching them together with that metal plumbers tape that has the holes in it for a more industrial look. Great minds think a like! Candy this is such a cute idea and I would love to duplicate this but I sold all the sugar molds I had. Next time I run across one I am doing this for sure...it is darling! Really beautiful! Love it, Georgia

Man you have outdone yourself on this one. It looks like it could fly! It is super stylish too, I don't know anybody that wouldn't love this, Georgia

Sharon we have missed you and your angels. They are so beautiful and creative. And big. And super duper cool! Georgia

Wow it is in great shape. It's amazing what people will throw away. You're a savvy "shopper", Georgia

I love decoupage! I have only seen it done with fabric once and it is pretty cool. I saw on TV that they took burlap and stretched it over a table and poured a can of poly over it and it was really cool! It adds so much texture to pieces that don't usually have texture. Good job, Georgia

Woo Hoo you gotcha some color going on in the kitchen!! Wow, what kind of fishing do you do with hooks that big??? I never would have thought of this, I'll bet your cooking is really spicy too! Geo

A great bunch of elements that came together beautifully! What an attractive package and the pendant is gorgeous too! Ann will be ecstatic. What fun to see something posted and then find out it is for you! Great job Gretchen, Georgia

Oh yeah...this is great stuff. I love the way you mixed all the different pieces together. Looks like the makings of a fine party. Thanks for showing all of us how you put the pieces together..and the beauty is that you can switch them around, Georgia

Oh Jim you crack me up! A rolling lamp with storage!!! Whodove thunk it??? I just love to see how your mind works. It is sooooo cool!(not your mind... the LAMP...well Ok they're both cool.) Anyway, just don't forget to unplug before you start doing your chores around the house, ha ha ha, this made me smile, Geo

Sue this is soooo cool. I wish I had one. But I think it would take more than this to get me organized. I love the way you thought of everything that you might need while heading out the door. And the flanges are the neatest...they make it extra cute. This one is a keeper for sure. Love it, Geo

Oh yeah...this is what a transformation is all about. Hard to tell it is the same room. That chicken box sure did streamline a lot of stuff. Great job, bet you don't mind going in there now. Georgia

Very nice collection of "memories" you have there. I think we (us junkers) are all into things from the past...I always think of the people that had them before and wonder what their lives were like. Sometimes you can even feel how well loved they were...Thanks a lot Janis, now you got me cryin' !!! Georgia

This is such a cute and cozy arrangement. It looks so good all together. Great job and nice idea with the quilt scraps. Georgia

Hi there. I always admire the projects that you do... simple and elegant. This is a great marriage of two unrelated items that seem to be made for each other. This will be one beautiful baby shower. We will want to see the pictures! Georgia

Very cool!geo

Ok , now you're on a roll. Don't you just love doing this? I'll bet we see a LOT more of your gorgeous creations. I'm glad you decided to finally share your awesome talent with us. Georgia

Well I for one think that this is the best use for one of these tables that I have seen. Never thought about taking the top off...good job, Georgia

pizzahusband must have been a very good boy this year. Great gift, geo

So very cool. Rustic and functional. Good combo. Geo

Well...OK I can see that I am really gonna have to do some mind stretching, bending and generally twist it into another shape altogether...I have never even held one of these before. Can't wait to get my hot little hands on them. Yee Haw this is going to be good! And by the way Sue I don't "move around the cabin" any other way! Love to all, geo

Love him! Aren't these little people fun to make? Georgia

Oooh I like your re-do too. Since I just finished mine I know how you have to come up with space and money saving ideas...you did good! Georgia

Now this is a real transformation...I (sorry) thought he was a pig when I first saw him but he most definitely looks like a dog now. A really cute dog. Love him. Since we are being silly with names...how 'bout Tile-er. Georgia

Wow this is fun just to get a look at your kitchen. Really comfy, cozy and homey. I love all the things that you have done! Georgia

What I like about the whole picture is that it looks like a newer construction home and sometimes it is hard to incorporate the older things into it, but you have done a great job with that, and added some architectural elements into a house that usually doesn't have them. Really nice way to cozy-up an open floor plan with high ceilings. Georgia

Oh I do love a garden gate and one in the kitchen is even better! Love it, Georgia

Hmmm, I think I would love this at any time...sick or not. I just love the old fabric used on these vintage water bottles, and the cap is adorable! This is a fabulous colorful arrangement that shows you are always thinking outside the "vase". I always love your floral arrangements, they are the BEST!!!geo

Jim, once again you've come up with a really great idea and the finished project always looks so professional when you are done. I am wondering though, if when you "whacked" the legs into "shape" if that is the actual architectural term for that process? (I really don't care what you call it , it works for me!) Great job and I am SO happy to see you as a contributor on this site, you have so much to offer and we all look forward to seeing your projects...you are extremely talented! Georgia

First of all ...Congrats on becoming a contributor!!! I think you have so much to offer this site and all of us on it. You have posted some fantastic and stylish projects and I can't wait to see just what you are doing next. For example THIS one is really neat. I love the way these turned out and have tried a little leafing and I am always amazed at how cool it is. Soon we will all be trying this and running around with bits of gold and silver stuck all over ourselves! Hey BTW did you do the inside too? Welcome, welcome, welcome Janis, Georgia

Hey, this isn't Christmas decorating...it's WINTER decorating, which I think can go on for a while. I have a confession...I took down my tree this morning...it was a little dry. Maybe if I did some Winter decorating I wouldn't have to leave the tree up soooo long. good idea, georgia

Midge, you are amazing . This is a fantastic project, Georgia

Awww...these are absolutely adorable. They look really well done too. Great job and a big inspiration to all of us to send something made from the heart. Thanks for getting us going on this...times a tickin', geo

I have no idea what the arm-thingy is either but it sure does it's job here. Great use of junk of an unknown origin. Geo

Really cute projects. I really think that they are adorable! Love the angel, Georgia

Judy, this is an amazing old screen. I love the corners and the color. Nice use for the door as well. It looks great...adds height to the room, Georgia

Very cute!!! I love these lined up on you window. The view is gorgeous too. I wouldn't mind going in there to do laundry, Georgia

Gotta love the graphics on these old crates, and they are good for so many things, love them, Georgia

Well well well. This tuned out so darling, I love the smaller scale and it looks like it puts off just the right amount of light for the bedroom. Really good job and I am happy that you put your own spin on one of my projects...I love that. Thanks for sharing this with us, Georgia

WOW I am honored by the high praise, especially coming from such a talented group of people like you guys. I had fun with this one. I was inspired by my new-found love of the simple barrel shades I see over tables instead of a fancy chandelier, which I still LOVE btw, but maybe I am expanding my tastes a little. This site sure does give us so many options in the way we think about design. I hope that many of you will try this project and show us how you interpret this style to fit your own taste. THIS is what it is all about! Love to you all, Geo

PS Janis...knew you'd love the paper I chose! and Judi, I'm on my way...would love to go shopping with you in Texas!!!

I know, she is pretty great huh? Her arms are made from some old handles that I had given to J. She told me that she had used them in a special project but she wouldn't tell me or post it until I saw it. Now we know why. The base is a large faucet handle that she told me represents the four corners of the earth N, S, E, & W. I love that because no matter where you are, it is what is inside of you that matters. Her art has such depth and meaning... and now I am a proud owner of a beautiful piece. I am a LUCKY gal.Georgia

This is the most darling painting of Santa I have ever seen. so cute on the door panel. Excellent work and a fine talent, georgia

You MADE a leather coat?? Wow is there anything that you can't do? I think not. You my dear are a very talented woman. Keep up the fantastic posts, Georgia

You have been a busy little bee with the doors. Every one of them is terrific and I love you room, Georgia

Hi there. You are very talented. It looks so beautiful...even better than tiles!Great job and welcome to the site, Georgia

Just to let everybody know that no matter how much laughter you can assume there was last night....double that! We laughed so hard I thought I was gonna bust a gut....and that was at dinner. Jenny and I work well together and have the best time. It is just the icing on the cake that the things that we make are terrific too. With all the materials available in the "lab" that J. has amassed, it is easy to come up with the good stuff! What a PAL. Love ya, Geo

How 'bout your own show! Wouldn't that be fun? You guys did an amazing job and it looks like something we would see on HGTV...I am sure your friend and the kitties are getting a lot of use out of this room. Love the whole thing, Georgia

I wish I was there to see it n person. It looks so inviting. I would love to browse around for a long time. Looks like one of those places that you can spend a day in! georgia

Well you are quite the bench builder! I think they are great especially that they were made for individual tastes and needs. That must have been one of their BEST wedding gifts! Really good job, Georgia

Nice stuff! Good job on the shelf and I really like how it looks lit by the candles, Georgia

Hi there. This is so cozy and romantic. Love what you have done. Georgia

Miss Melis, you are a whiz with a needle and thread. Great idea and can be used for so many things keeping your hands free to touch EVERYTHING! Love it, Geo

Well, Sue I think that these are amazing. And to think that you did all of these with things that you have on hand around the house. Very impressive! I love the way you can take one simple thing and turn it into three so different projects...simply fantastic my friend. And while I applaud your acceptance of the challenge of not going to the craft store for...well any length of time...I must say again that I find even the prospect of going so long without my fix, makes me break out into a sweat. Good job..now I am off to Michaels!

This is truly a lovely piece of furniture. I know a lot of girls, big and small, that would fall in love with this in a heartbeat...and I'm one of them, Georgia

Ok this must be the least complicated project you have ever done. I love the simplicity of it and the spools do add the depth that this piece needed. Isn't it great when It all falls together...It was meant to be! Georgia

That bathroom is just too cute. Love it all, Georgia

Perfect! You are quite the builder. I love all your projects...these are a couple of winners. Georgia

These will look so cool alongside your collection. The difference in textures will be stunning. Love this, Geo

Love this. Very good use of something you DON'T want to use for it's original purpose. Just ask Sue what she comes up with!!!! Ha ha, Geo

You sure can't go wrong with a sign that says free! These are a great addition to any decor and especially in a garden. I have one that is just a head...the body broke off and I thought it would be too weird to have a body with no head so I just stuck the head in the planter. So there ya go. Geo

Oh, this one hits ya where you live...In the KITCHEN! Yay. I adore this piece and I especially like how the first and last letters are the only ones to be backwards. Nice touch. You are so cool and I am sure you friends are going to treasure this for a lifetime. good, good, good girl! Geo

Gretchen these are so lovely and special. Each one is different and beautiful. I'll bet you gals had a roarin' good time at lunch. Glad you were ready to share these with us. Thanks, Georgia

Did we have some fun in the lab this weekend...I think SO!!! I laughed so hard when I read about the "kickin" little boots...they really are so darling. I love this project so much! You crack me up. Love YOU!geo

Hey YOU are the original one of the wisdom gals! I love her. I think that the jewel is just about a sassy as you are my friend, Georgia

And I love the picture frame clock. It is awesome and so is your ability to paint! Georgia

This is very cool. I also love your concept drawing...if only you saw one of mine!!! Napkin, scrap of paper, margins of phonebooks etc...Ask Sue, I can't even describe "round", much less draw it....you're GOOD!! Georgia

Wow, that must get a lot of attention . It's got some bling goin' on! Very creative, Georgia

Janis this is just too beautiful. Where do you get these great pictures of Paris?? You amaze me. Fabulous job as usual, Love ya, Georgia

I really like this kind of paper. I worked for an architectural firm once and for Christmas I made little tiny rolled up blueprints tied with ribbon as Christmas ornaments for all my co-workers. It was really cute, there is so much you can do with these sheets...think about how many are thrown away every day! Love your wallpaper idea, it's the greatest! Georgia

Creative space for a very creative person. I love the words "Bought on a working trip to Marrakech". Wouldn't we all love to say that??? You can fill in the last word with any other place in the world and I'd love it just as much! Very very very cool. Georgia

Very very pretty. You're really good at this, they look fantastic, Georgia

Yee Haw! I adore this old beast. What a creative and cool thing to do with an old skull. My youngest niece would LOVE this! Maybe I'll do something on a smaller scale for her. Just amazing my dear, Georgia

No way. Not gonna happen. So sorry. Love the idea but I have a real NEED to go to those places and it would be like cutting off an arm or something. I could lie and say I could do it but I know myself better than that. I use those places as therapy...and I need therapy...so I will support y'all in this worthy endeavor but I'm just not that disciplined. Besides I'm already trying to give up sugar...I can't do both! Georgia

What a beautiful piece of art. I love the colors and tone of this fantastic painting. Excellent! Georgia

Wow so simple but so great. You gotta love anyone that can make one of those look good! Georgia

So so so cute! And you did this with no instructions??? What an eye you have for re-creating things. Good job...I'm impressed, Georgia

Miss miss Missy, I love what you did with the little squirrel and I am so glad to see you post one of your great creative ideas and I will be expecting more! The oak leaf is just way too cute and the other ideas were darling too. And Sue...thanks for plugging my store! I DO have cute things but sometimes they are even cuter when the right person gets their hands on them. Georgia

Once again you've done something totally unique and beautiful. You really do have a flair to all that you do! Georgia

Oh, this is so pretty, I love the color!!! It is lovely and you did a great job, Georgia

Hi there. I love what you have done here and you don't have to be a pro around here...it actually helps if you are not...then you are willing to try so many new things that inspire you from this site. I like to do decoupage but I haven't tried to make usable things out of them yet...but I will now, thanks, Georgia

Great use of the sewing machine drawer...gotta love em! You did an amazing and inventive project and I am sure many more will be sitting on counters across the country now that you have shared yours with us. Good job, georgia

Thanks for all the great projects, but I do have to tell you that no matter how detailed the instructions you give, it is your talent and artistic abilities that make these pieces so beautiful and unique. I'm sure that anyone can use this technique, but you really have a flair for the dramatic. I am going to try "SOMETHING" like this on an old vanity that I have in storage exactly like the one you did...minus the fancy paint job. I am NOT a painter but it will be fun! Thanks again for sharing, Georgia

WOW this is quite impressive. I think you are a much more patient person than I am . This looks like you really worked hard on making it so seamless and professional! I love MM too what a beauty (her and the bar!) Georgia

You have been such a busy little bee. I really love the way you put the pieces and parts together on all of your projects. Keep 'em coming! Georgia

Ok , now you know that I think everything that you do is AMAZING, but...WHAT else was in the BARN???? You cannot leave a story in midstream, I NEED to know. Did you find some other fantastic stuff? don't keep me in suspense. Just the words "Estate sale at an abandon dairy farm" sends my heart racing. NOT FAIR! Geo

I like your world. Everyone of those pieces are fabulous and deserve more than just being thrown in an old box or God forbid...thrown away! Great saves. Georgia

Wow you've gottem double and triple stacked! Love the color combo...I just made my first ones a while ago and I thought it was so much fun! I have plans for more. Thanks for sharing yours with us and we will see more of your stuff soon I am sure, Georgia

Jim, just how many of these extra cool buckets DO you have? I'm startin' to think that maybe you cornered the market on these babies. I just love them and this lamp is just as neato as the Christmas one. Good work and keep 'em coming! Geo

Jenny, this is so special, thanks for sharing this with us. Hope your Holiday was fantastic! Talk soon, Georgia

Really really good job on your window box. I like the idea of leaving it up and changing it out...can't wait to see Spring! Georgia

Ok I only WISH my first project had turned out this well. I think you did an amazing job and this is just the start of many more I am sure. Welcome to the site, Georgia

OMG! what else can I say? Georgia

We love you posting too! This cracked me up! so funny and a great idea too! Georgia

Oh boy you can have a great deal of fun with these. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with them. I love seeing what you come up with, too cool, Georgia

Who cares what it is...It is so darn cool I can't believe it. I would have snatched this up too...what a good eye you have my dear. Georgia

Janis I loved the great collar you made but I must say that everyone did such a great job that it was hard to pick. There were so many good entries and everyone deserves a big hand for the inventive collars ...and pets...that were sent in. gotta love someone who can make a cat sit still, and a HORSE!! Yay to all of you...this was the most fun ever! Georgia

You can bet that I would be there...with bells on, if I was anywhere near there. It looks like a good one, Georgia

This is quite the collection. I love the way you have displayed them, Georgia
PS welcome welcome welcome!

I think I am in love with these as well. Everything you do is simply beautiful, Georgia

Michelle I would love to have a piece like this in my store and may have to make one myself. I think you did an awesome job. Georgia

Yee Haw! I am a rider myself and can appreciate your love for your horse. Great job and very original too! Georgia

Very cool! I really like it and the message too, Georgia

Hey there. I have been to the islands many times and once even hit a big flea market at the stadium there in Honolulu. I DON'T go anywhere without checking out the local junk stores and flea markets. What a fun thing you have done in customizing these dressers. Welcome to our world of junk and friends..we all share the same BUG! Georgia

Well this certainly goes to show that anything can be beautiful used in the right way. Clever idea, can you actually see the lights coming through? I thought those things were pretty thick, so are the lights inside the tubes? Curiosity...It's what makes us junkers in the first place... I ask a lot of questions...Georgia
PS went on your blog site and I really liked your music!

Kari thank you for the wonderful wishes and I am sending them right back atcha! I can't believe this year is almost over. One of the highlights of this year has been to "meet" all the special friends that share their passion for junking on this site. I hope the next year is just as full of creativity and fun as this last one has been. Merry Christmas to all, Georgia

These sleeves are fantastic. It is amazing just how many plastic bags you can stuff into one of those. I love to be able to just pull one out when you need it, and they are a great gift...especially coordinated with the kitchens colors! Welcome to the site, Georgia

Sharon, great project. I have missed you on the site...maybe hauling home and taking apart a giant organ is quite a project in itself! Glad to see more of your great stuff, Georgia

Oh MY...you are so good at putting these things together! I really love this one but then again I really love everything that you do. Totally cool! Geo

WOW I looked at your website and I really love the look of everything in your shop. Fabulous merchandise and the colors are so perfect. wish I lived near by...I be coming for a visit for SURE! Love it, Georgia Oh yeah...the wreath is absolutely darling!

Very cool stuff. I can see why Sue wanted you as a contributor. This post looks a lot like one she would do. Very well photographed and displayed. Easy and simple ideas are sometimes the best. Good job Candy, Georgia

Oh You are soooo funny. I'm thinking the only one I got right was Paris??? I had some good guesses with what you say though but I knew I was wrong on the yard sale one, I guess you could tell by my answer. I guess I'd rather guess wrong than not guess at all. Guess how many times you can use the word "guess" in one paragraph?

This so cool. I always admire anyone who can weld. They (you) can make the neatest stuff! I really like this...I can recognize some of the parts and pieces and I really love the color. Welcome to the site can't wait for more of your projects/art, Georgia

These are neat-o. I had one and I recovered the inside with Turquoise satin and put my nieces initials on the top for her to hold all her little treasures. Can't wait to see what you do with this one. Georgia

Darling stuff. I don't know about sleds but it sure sounds like a good deal to me and it looks so cute, how could you pass it up? Georgia

Can't wait to see what you do. I'm sure it will be fantastic as usual, Georgia

who doesn't love a cast iron bird? I know I do and the mercury glass is a wonderful touch, Georgia

I really love all the special, vintage touches to your holiday home decor. very festive and fun, Georgia

Wow GOOD job. I find mosaic one of the hardest things to do well, and you did well, Georgia

Now I pictured them hanging by the top hole, covering a board or inside a frame for ultra chic shimmery wall art. Maybe put up with those little silver "L" hooks so there would be movement. I think they are cool but I would be a daunted by the sheer number of them. Lots and lots of projects with these babies. cool find, Georgia

These are very pretty, dainty and feminine. I really like the teapot with the roses...that's my fave, Georgia

Midge, I think they are both very very cool. I would take the country one for the shop and the other for my home which is surprisingly contemporary. good job on both lamps and I know ALL about the ones that don't work out just as we had envisioned them, and it is a learning experience...hopefully not an expensive one. Georgia

I really like this. I have done collage before but I like the simplicity of this piece and the colors are great too. Really neat, Georgia

I really love the Christmas trees! Great job, Georgia

I really love the color combinations you have done. They are all super cool. I like the way your wire looks too. I found the wire I was using to be a little stiff and hard to work with. Maybe I will try this kind next. Thanks for the inspiration and information, Georgia

WOW this is certainly one of my favorite projects. I have never seen a vintage spelling board before but it is very cool. I've never seen a bog scoop either, for that matter...the wreath looks familiar though. I swear you come up with the most interesting items for your projects. I love it. You did good girl! Love ya, Geo

Oh you gals re so smart. I was having a little trouble with the blue shade...it just didn't "feel" right but I didn't have much of chance to figure it out ...I thought it might look better hung up but I am going to try it without the shade and see what I think. I'll post a pic of that too. Ok? Thanks again for your wonderful suggestions. We can all use a few hundred opinions once in a while. Ha ha. Love and Christmas wishes to you all, Georgia

Oh I love him. My momma gave me an old plaster cat that I cherish and would never sell. He's a keeper too! Geo

Hey this is a great use for the old game board. I think it is fun and useful too. I really like it. Georgia

I really like your style...reminds me of something...oh yeah, my shop. Sounds like you decorate with vintage all year round. Great use of cool vintage finds. Georgia

Well it certainly is beautiful once again. It's amazing what a little fabric can do for a chair. Looks like you did a great job, Georgia

You guys are very brave...dressing up a cat can be dangerous, but the end result is so cute. Love Kitty and her collar, Geo

Kathy you are not kiddin' when you say "vintage charm" Wow it's like a little vintage town came to life in there. I love to see how you change this up for the seasons. It is still one of my favorite things, so cute, Georgia
PS Notice that I did not whine once in this whole post? Do you think I have gotten over the fact that I still don't have a conservatory...not a chance...I'm being patient (not my strong suit) but I haven't forgotten. Springtime...yeah that's it...Springtime.

Merry Christmas Janis!! That collar is a piece of fine jewelry but you always do things so elegantly. I really love the way your little doggie posed for you...you saw mine! Just love this piece. Good job, your friend, Georgia

Oh I wish I had seen this in person but you didn't have it yesterday. It turned out great and I love the quote...as always, Geo

I LOVE the colors..they are fantastic! I don't know how you did this but it is way cool, Georgia

Now this is my kind of buffet! I am a candy freak and I think the way you have set it out is very inviting, it looks so festive. Merry Christmas, Georgia

Now for my version of events...I had the BEST time EVER. I went to Jenny's "lab" at about 10:30am and didn't leave until 4 pm. The time just flew by and I think we did a fine job on our regal angles. What a blast to hang out and try out all of the goodies we had available . Jenny has so much stuff and all the tools organized in a way that would never happen at my place. It was a pleasure to spend that much time with her, she is very inspiring, and talented too. When she says that she jumped in my lap when the mouse JUMPED out of the file cabinet, she is NOT kidding! And I was standing up which meant that she practically flew into my arms, after the screaming died down I almost wet my pants we were laughing so hard. I'm not sure how we got anything done with all the cracking up that went on all day, but we did manage to put together these lovely angles and I will cherish them forever. Thanks Jenny for everything I had such a FUN day...Did I mention that we had food too?Yummy!

This is the most fun contest I LOVE this. Great entry! Geo

Ha hahahahaha. So funny! Cute collar but the pose is priceless.Geo

What a cute cute cute idea and a equally cute doggie. Georgia

What a nice girl...and what a perfect gift! Love it, Georgia

Hello all. Thank you so much for all the lovely comments on this project. I really appreciate all of your support and kindness. I feel like this site has made a great big wonderful world of special people available to me...what a great big wonderful gift that is...Georgia

This is so cute. I love this one and is that doggie a Lhasa or a shitz shu?? I have an Apricot Lhasa that all of you will be seeing soon. I'm working on the collar. But Christie Noel is adorable! Good job on her lovely collar, georgia

Hey this is really good. I love the photos with the names. It is really special, welcome to the site and we will be looking forward to seeing more of your creative projects, Georgia

You know that I think you are amazing , right? Well this is proof positive that I am correct in my opinion of your talent. Everything you do has such an authentic look to it. I think that you achieved your goal on this one. Great job as usual, Georgia

Ok like I said...I am lovin' this contest. This is so cute too!

I don't think this is the first time you have mentioned a trash pile after an auction/flea market...I have never seen one of those but if I did I would have pulled these out too. I'd make greeting cards out of them for my nieces but I am sure you will get lots of great ideas from this group.

YAY Molly Mae! Cute dog...cute collar! This is my favorite contest...ever!!!

Barney is definitely NOT convinced but I am sure we will see this on ALL the cat walks in the future! Good job and Barney is adorable. Georgia

GardenJunky, I love your photos. When checking out your bio I see you are from Nowthen Mn...Is it pronounced Now-then, just like it looks? I never know since I was there in MN once and everyone (you know who you are)laughed at my pronunciation of the towns there. I live on No-Yes Rd., but you say it like noise. Hmmm

WOW you are in the right place at the right time with your camera! Either that or you just look for the humorous things in life...hopefully both!! Love these, Georgia

This is really funny but this is one flight I would not want to take...can you imagine how many children would be on it???

This is a really SPECIAL tree, with wonderful memories attached to it. I love the fact that you did this for your Dad. Very touching, Georgia

I just can't get enough of old windows used in a room...I really love this look, Georgia

I really love the look of this and love the fact that you saved it from being thrown away. Like Candy said, I wonder how many millions of these get wasted every year. Wow something to think about. Anyway, I find it interesting that you call it a noodle board...do you actually MAKE noodles? And if so, can I come to dinner? Georgia

OMG...can you imagine the tortuous things that went on in THAT chair. All it needs is straps!!! You need to do something RIGHT AWAY to make it look like you could stand to sit in it. Although I would have snapped it up in a second...it is rather frightening. Maybe a comfy cushion and some Novocaine would help?

Amy, everything looks delightful! I love all the unusual things you have used, really inviting arrangement! Georgia
Oh, and your pictures are wonderfully taken too.

Awww. This is soooo cute. I can see we are going to have a really hard time with this contest. I am anxiously waiting to see all the animals dressed up for the holidays. I'll bet they are ALL going to be so darling. I haven't started mine yet...I'm trying to "feel" what Ollie wants to wear. How do you think that's working out for me? I guess we will have to wait and see. Great job and CUTE dog, Georgia

Janis this is an awesome post...another calendar page? I love the way you set up your photos, are you a professional photographer too? They always look so beautiful. Love the way these turned out.Georgia
