These are so cute I'm making some. And I only need to go to my stash for all of the supplies. Thanks for the idea and pictures.

Did you get these items this year? I was set up to sell just north of Chattanooga. I had shopped it twice before. You found some great items and I love the display.

ROFL priceless!!!!

I think the ceiling tins probably look better this way than the original purpose. It is so pretty.

wow, another beautiful table. Don't know which one I like best.

very cool table and display. Welcome to the site.

I love the pieces you posted and enjoyed reading your bio. Can't wait to see pictures of your husband's place.

very nice and I enjoyed your blog spot too. I'll be back to it.

this is very beautiful. welcome to the site.

great bench with the spindles underneath. I remember all the great pumpkins and falloween
(a new word for me) items that were posted last year. I'm glad to see the first pumpkin pop up here, they always make me smile.

ooohhh, I love it all. I wish I could go to this show.

This is fantastic. My dog would love it too, especially the
love seat.

Great ideas. I could use an Angel like that to hold my pair of earrings that I wear the most. I hope you had a good time on the 650 mile garage sale. There's no way you can shop the whole thing, we've tried. If you go back next year be sure to make hotel reservations. Most people learn the hard way.

hhhmmmm, I don't know which is prettier, your junk flowers or your real ones. They are both beautiful.

This looks great. I hope to get organized one day.

very different and quite the conversational room.

wow you shop fast. we've shopped it twice starting in Gadsen but only got to the Tennesse/Kentucky line. Never made it to Ohio. I'm going to try to set up close to Chattanooga

You are very talented. Your paintings are beautiful.

You did an excellent job. It is very beautiful.

wow, another great job.

this is beautiful. you did a great job

Beautiful!

uuuummmm, someone could sure spend some extra time in there planning their next vacation. I'd have mine marked with all those long highway garage sales.

If I saw this in your yard I'd think you'd be eating watermelon for a week. This is the neatest looking faux melon I've seen. yummy

Janis, these are beautiful as usual. I too had a hard time finding the words you use. Hobby Lobby is finally getting in a nice selection of the rub ons. Now to find time to do all the things I have seen on here.

WOW, this is fabulous. luv it

very creative and neat idea. I can just imagine all the different colors of suitcases too.

Shadow, when I saw the cover for the first time I noticed your cuteness first thing. Way to go!!

Very pretty. Good job

Janis, these are so beautiful. I never see these coffee carafes for sale here so I'll have to enjoy yours.

It's fabulous. I wish I had this table.

B E A U T I F U L !!!! I love your painting

very nicely done.

this is such a beautiful and functional piece. Ya'll did great.

This is very creative. I'm surprised the birds didn't jump right in.

Janis, I've been saving all of my "pretties" waiting for one of your posts. Now I've got to find the perfect book to make this. I think "Alice In Wonderland" is the most approiate book since Alice jumped in the rabbit hole and when
you open your book it's like the rabbit hole. Please post more often as this stuff is really taking over the house and I need more ideas. lol

What a great piece you found. You made such a beautiful necklace with it.

The wire and bead work is beautiful. You did a great job.

These are 2 great projects. I even have all of the "junk" needed to make them. I've been saving 2 turntables from the microwave and I think this is what I'll use them for. The cat is cute too.

My favorite is the horse's expression. I didn't know that junk could even have an expression. And I love the hat. You can always find strainers at garage sales. An old rusty one would be great for the "bad guy". OK the mustache is original
too. I guess I really like all of it. lol

I really love this post because I'm always interested to see how other people work. My space will never be this big or organized but I can dream.

You do beautiful painting. Both projects are great and such an improvement on the furniture.

Here in the south we're known for deep frying everything. I think this is a lot more healthy and absolutely beautiful.

Another beautiful project. And one with a dart in it; yet it's sweet.

This is so pretty. I have lots of boxes I could use in this project.

I think I would have hauled this home too and my kitchen isn't even pink. Can't imagine someone throwing this away.

Very beautiful painting and a great price on the window.

This is great. I would like to buy a push lawanmover to actually use but they are so expensive, even the used ones.
Maybe the parts and pieces wouldn't cost so much. And making a lamp wouldn't be so labor intensive as mowing. I like the gurney too.

This is a very good idea and so pretty lit up.

What a great idea and you used a lot of repurposable items.

Christy,
The flea market is in Greenwood, LA just outside of Shreveport. It's on Interstate 20 so it's easy to find. Come see us.

OK, I can't find snow skis where I live but I do run across water skis. Last time I did I had to donate them to my son's
Boy Scout troop for a project. But NO more because I love this project. I think I'll make me one. The idea of the rug
for the seat cover was great as well.

BEAUTIFUL! My old sewing machince cabinet doesn't have that wonderful scroll work on it. It really pops against that wall color too (that's the color of my kitchen and bathroom)

This is a cute idea. I was just thinking the other day if anyone would come up with ideas to repurpose all the plastic stuff from the mid century when it was popular. BTW-when you're a kid and your grandmother kept the tree always full of gumdrops it wasn't bad either. lol I probably have hers buried someone with all my junk.

I was given a non working cuckcoo and the estimate to replace the insides was $75.00 (7 yrs. ago). I think I like this redo better. I'm glad you posted a close up of your potting shed. I missed this in the other pictures.

You did a fantastic job. You have more patience than me. I need that "EAT" sign for my kitchen as well as the "Open 24 hours". They would go together at my house.

I love this. Wish I had back the insulators I sold. Luckily I still have 2 left and they are blue. I would also like to see more pictures of your potting shed. It is so different.

Great job. It looks like you have other interesting pieces in your house too.

I think this looks so much better. I love putting together a bunch of junk items to make one beautiful one.

Another GREAT idea. I don't have a compote but I have a silver plated tray (with a little rust) just like this compote. I've got plenty of bases I could glue it to. I love the colors you chose too. I have so many of these trays I got for wedding gifts in the 70's (hence the rusty part) and want to rework them. Thanks for your ideas.

This is so cute and beautiful. I think it could sit out anytime of the year and not just at Christmas. With different colors of tulle and patterns on the cup it could have so many themes. I can't wait to make one. I have everything but the tea cup.

We had one that one end was in pretty bad shape. It wouldn't make a good table because you could't get a chair up close to it because of the base. Anyway, we removed the 3 nut/bolts
on the bad end so we could make a usable table. As soon as we started to unloosen them the whole thing fell apart. No way to put it back together. But I had a whole pile of nice size boards to make signs with.

You always come up with the greatest projects. I think your son's headboard says "Cabins" but not sure. That's exactly our house decor'. Love the rustic look.

I think the largest garage sale started in Gasden, Ala.
Your phrase is "Unleash your inner junker".
And the term Flea market started in Paris.

This is so pretty and the ribbon is perfect.

Simon is very cute and he looks like he actually likes his
collar. It's like carrying a little batting toy around with him with the key chain dangling like that.

Wow, I would think these were the gifts and not just a gift
package. They are beautiful.

Re your post you left on my Grand cat's collar contest entry.
Yes I think our pets think we have gone off the deep end. You can see it in all of their eyes. I have entered 2 of my grandpets in the contest. The 3rd one is in hiding partly because I dressed her as the Joker from the new Batman movie
for Halloween.
My cat knew what was coming because she always sits in my computer chair and in her entry you can see the computer on with JUNKMARKET website showing.
Your collar is sssooooo elegant. But I knew it would be. Doby is one lucky little guy.

This is so cute. As for as the glue is concerned I would try E6000. It takes a day to completely dry so you may need to prop the arm up until it is dry. I've glued wood and glass together and glass to glass with this and it worked great.

Janis, I think everyone would like more detailed instructions because you got so many postive feedback on the lights and wind chimes. How and where are the holes drilled on the lights and how do the wind chimes hold up outside?
Thank you, Marijo

Janis, I love all of your posts. I even found a silver tea set last weekend & hope to make some night lights like yours.
Your tree is so beautiful and unusual.

Cute, Cute, Cute. With a big porch like that I bet you'll have lots of pictures to show us each season.

If my bedroom was this cool I'd never move out.

These are fantastic and wild!!!

I love both of the crosses you posted. But I really like this one because the pieces fit together just perfect. And then there's the star that is part of the Christmas story and the cross part of the Easter story.

My favorite thing is the drawer pulls to hang it by. I love that. I'm getting so many ideas I can't keep up. When I first joined this site I used to hit the refresh button when I was waiting for the glue or paint to dry on a project. Now I don't have time to paint or glue because everytime I hit the refresh button there's a new project and I want to make that one too. Thanks for a great site

Beautiful job!!!!!!!! I love a little Christmas out all year long. I know you'll do a great job decorating your church for Christmas too.

I have been looking for these to make me a metal flower garden. I haven't found any so I'm looking for a new best friend who is a plumber instead.

I love the table. You did a great job. I bet your daughter is going to enjoy using this and everyone will want one.

Once again a beautiful project. But a plain white birdhouse? lol Is this a future project to paint? Happy Thanksgiving to you.

I think these are great. You can use those 1 or 2 glasses you have that don't match the rest of your glasses. And lucky me found a box of about 15 plates at a garage sale for $5.00 last week. Guess what I'm making.

I saw the same tree at BIG LOTS today. They have several different sizes. I hope I find one on a garage sale or trash next year because I thought they'd make a great post tree like someone else posted on this site. I love your silver
ornaments on it.

I love all of your junk. We live close enough we might run into each other but just far enough we're not diving in the same dumpsters. We rented a booth at Greenwood Flea Market until February when the craft shows start back up. If you come over we're in booth #141. We have got to sell the real junk so we have more room for the good junk. The outside guys at the FM have got some great stuff I have my eye on. I may post some pictures one day. Keep posting your work because I've gotten some great ideas from you. I'm jealous of your junk shed though.

This is the most outrageous tree I've seen. It needs to be published in a magazine. This is so unusual you need to come up with other designs for other holidays. Do you ever sleep?
Keep up the neat ideas!!!!

I love these trees. I have one dark colored post I've been saving for a project. I showed my husband the previous post of the "post" tree so he can be building the stand. Hopefully by next year I'll find a tree on a dump somewhere.
Thank you for a great idea and the pictures.

Yea, a great way to use my belts from my garage sale stuff that are out of style.

LOVE the tree. I also loved your "BOO" hands you did at Halloween. I have the very same hands but no "BOO" letters. I also have the very same basket you have under your tree. Haven't decided what to do with it yet. I didn't make the 127 this year but hope to next year. We all need to wear something to identify us as Junkmarketers.

Another great project. I just used up the last of my shutters making shelves. But I love this idea. I have all of the items used except for the shutters so gotta find more.

Love your studio. It's such an inspiring place. It looks like
you spend just as much time gardening as you do painting things white.

You paint such beautiful roses. I love all of the pieces you do and how you use unusual "junk". Can't wait to see more.

This is fantastic and so pretty. You know you'll have to find
some more tables like it because NFS makes everyone want it even more. I saw in your profile you went on the World's Longest Garage Sale. We went also, 2 different years. We started at the beginning in Alabama
and went as far as north Tennesee. But I'm definitly going
to Ohio next time because it looks like y'all have some great places to go to.

I think you did great on your buys. That wicker piece would
have been more at an estate sale here. But here you can place bids on things and if they don't sale the high bidder gets it. Risky but sometimes it pays off. I have a table almost exactly like the one you have. I painted it white with
pink accents. Can't wait to see what you do with yours.

I love all of the pieces. I just bought a mirror that I was going to paint white. I like the black accents you added so
that gives me another idea.

The Santa has a hard plastic face. The body is some sort of spongy material that looks like it would crumble.

I don't even have a bird but I'd like to have a cage like this. So Cute!!

I would try wrapping a wide sheer ribbon between the top and 2nd tier and then between the 3rd and 4th tier. Since it would be open between the 2nd and 3rd tier you could hang some of your mirror thingys from those little knobs. You would only need to attach the ribbon at the beginning and end and use double sided tape. That way if you didn't like it you can take the ribbon off easy or you could change the color of the ribbon for the different seasons.

I love your shed. My husband & I worked on something to keep our junk out of the winter weather yesterday. It was made from stuff we hauled home for free too. I've always told him
we need to bring home all the galvanized metal we see. Well,
I showed him your shed and told him "See what we could have built". Maybe I'll have one like you NEXT year. Love your "paint" job too.

To KopyKatKim: Is what you have an enclosed hive or a wasp
nest with many holes in it where the wasps enter in? If it is the one with many open holes I do have an idea for that.
Let me know.

I put some grout in a plastic baggie and then squirted in the paint. I just squished the paint and grout in the bag.
I snipped the corner off the baggie and applied it in between the tile pieces. Now I just buy the plain white grout in a tub from the hardware store and make it any color I want.

Gourds are easy to grow, they just take up a lot of room because the vines take over every where. That is the only type gourd I grew. There are so many shapes to choose from.
I buy them when I find them at garage sales. A lot easier.
