Thanks everybody - so glad you enjoyed it - as much as I have!! Jan and Duane are just so awesome - and you can definitely see they put their heart into their work (but - it's not really work...)!

Sharon - you'll definitely have to take a little road trip!

Kenda - I know exactly what you're saying! It MUST be junk love!!! :)

Joanne - we can never have too much junk...just my thought on the subject ;) (ha ha)

Thanks again! Kathy

Laurel - great fall displays!! I LOVE the lawnmower too!!

That foot shaped "thingie" hanging at the top of your bike basket is cool! (I know there has to be a name for it, right??) ha ha!

Kathy

P.S. I'm loving all this fall rustiness too!!! :)

Marybeth - love your fall display - a little bit of this and that and you've got a great look! And, I like the idea of metal pumpkins - they have such a longer "shelf life"! :)

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Very cool booth!!! I love the painted suitcase - very clever!

Kathy

Your stirrup is the perfect spot to hang a picture - and a little glitz too - very sweet!

Kathy

It's all so beautiful - I love the red cabinet - what a great pop of color!

Good luck with your sale!

Kathy

What a great booth - I love what you did with the doors! Hope your sale went well.

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

bluebucket - these are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing your art with us!

Kathy

These are so cute! Will have to try some of these too!

We've got some great holiday "junk" starting to pop up here at JMS - I just love the holidays!!! :)

Thanks for sharing AND welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

These are so sweet - what a great use!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

What a great display of salvaged and seasonal pieces!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

LOVE it! What a perfect spot for your old bedsprings, and a great place to relax!!

Kathy

I like the idea of the lime green for your shed - can't wait to see what you do with it. And, I'm adding my name to the list of envious members...I'd LOVE to have my own little shed too!!

Kathy

Fabulous is right!!! Rub-ons are magic, aren't they?

Love it!

Kathy

What great doors you found! And, it looks like lots of great ideas for you to consider. Hope you'll share your final project with us!

Kathy

You did a great job on your bench of chairs! It has a nice finished look, and is so perfect on your porch!

Kathy

Another WOW! Looks like this project just fell into place! And a great place for some birds to rest as well!

Thanks for sharing - and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

WOW! Another person in awe here...so clever - and that's got to be the biggest junk project I've seen! WOW (again).

You and your friend did an awesome job!

Kathy

I love your seaglass creations and this wreath is a "merry" addition!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

How clever - what an energy saver - and no mess with candles too!

Great job!

Kathy

Any little bird would be proud to live in your clock condo!! Great job!

Kathy

Oh, what a great little outdoor space you've created with your birdhouse collection - and I love the old gate too!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

I love your curbside chairs just like they are - chippy paint is a good thing!! :) I have just a "few" little chairs around my house (one of my weaknesses...) - sitting up on a table or bench, or just sitting pretty here and there in a corner...and always holding a little something!

I like all the ideas, and one other - you could even hang them on the wall as a shelf... My girlfriend has one hanging on her fence and sits a plant on it.

Enjoy your finds!

Kathy

Sue - your door mat spruced up quite nicely! What a cool piece and it is so awesome when junk is multi-functional!

Very welcoming!

Kathy

Sue - I love the restaurant dishes and your touch of garden fresh color is stunning!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Sue - Looks like big junk fun - and I bet those ideas are really dancing around in your head...keeping you up at night no doubt!! :)

I love the ball bearings in a jar - very cool! And the drawers are fab too.

I don't know what that "do-hickey" is, but it looks a little scary - haha!

Looking forward to your Christmas creations!

Kathy

What a beautiful work of art! Like Midge said - it's so industrial but so graceful too - love it!

Kathy

Candy - I'm late on this post - but it's still a riot! And your twisted junky imagination is a hoot!!! Loved "The Shining" and "Misery". Both two of my favs.

I remember watching "The Birds" for the first time - I must have been VERY young...it freaked me out!

Thanks for the post - I can tell you had BIG fun with it!!!

Kathy

Gretchen- you know I love your jewelry - and this piece is "tres magnifique"!! All the thought and details you put into one of your jewelry pieces makes it a work of art!!!

Lucky Lani!!! I'm sure she wears it proudly!

Hugs, Katy

Thanks again - everybody! Glad you enjoyed the little "tour" of some of the junk aROUND my home! I love the clocks too - and since we've got so many right now - it's been hard to decide which ones to use! (that's a good problem to have).

And, Gretchen - I think maybe we could be!! :)

Take care!

Kathy

P.S. And, for all the clock fans - I'm working on a new post on my blog - hope to have it up over the weekend (MORE clocks!!).

www.sylviasdaughter.blogspot.com

Rock salt was a great idea! Nice display.

Kathy

Ohhhh...I think it looks like a segment of "junk bachelor" for sure...there could be a little competition for Sue's pretty little bride-to-be going on here! ha ha!!!

He's a cutie and I just love his junky hat and hair!

Kathy

I haven't seen tea chests before either - you've repurposed them beautifully!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Very cute! I love how you reused this box! Great idea.

Kathy

Your collage is so cute! I love to use old drawers and boxes too!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

I love it! Old grates are so beautiful - and should definitely be on display year-round!!

Kathy

Love your re-do of the end tables - and, I like the fabric added to the top - nice touch!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

I'm just more amazed - what a wonderful job you did with this - (and, I wouldn't give it back either - ha ha!!)

Kathy

What a great display you created with some throwaway materials - good save, Rob!

Kathy

Your vase is awesome. I didn't know you could use Bri-wax to seal rusty stuff either. I've just used it to seal tabletops - so, will try it on some rust too!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

WOW and WOW! Your signs are amazing - love the material you (re)used, and how it will continue to age - how very cool! The shop sounds like a fun place - I bet your cousin was thrilled with the signs you made.

Beautiful job - thanks so much for sharing,

Kathy

Thanks all for your comments - and understanding (so well...) the obsessions I/we have with all different kinds of "junk". I'm in such great company!!!

The dresser mirror is one of my favorite things - I think I need to hang it on the wall...but that might be a scary view...16 of me - yikes! :) (I collect enough myself - just think what 15 more of me could do...)

Robert - perfectly clean isn't always a priority - I love my "swiffer" duster! :)

gailmarie - the wire thing is a giant flower frog - I haven't figured out what to do with it yet!

Candy - I do have a few extra buttons I could share with a friend...

Take care, Kathy

And - Joanne - "Hi, my name is Kathy.........." ;)

Marybeth - what an awesome job you did - and such a well deserved award too! You get a bit WHOOP WHOOP from Ohio!! :)

I love the colors scheme you chose, and all the great pieces you repurposed - the workbench is super cool, and I love the transformation that a simple paint job made on your chairs. You brought them up-to-date and they fit in "just right"! :) Using the rubber mat for a stencil was oh so clever, and then hanging it on the wall - a double duty beauty for sure!!

Love it all! Congrats!

Kathy

Wendy - you've collected some nice metal "junk"! It looks great on your deck. (I love the mailbox!)

Kathy

P.S. I love the view from your deck too!

You did a great job on your cabinet! It looks like you've got some wonderful things on display as well.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Grate little porch light you came up with Marie!

And, I like your new pic too!

Kathy

What a fun piece! Nice job!

Kathy

Looks like you're ready to get busy on some projects - great reuse!!

Kathy

P.S. Alice...you're too funny! :) My workspace is in constant need of "maintenance" (like almost every day)!

Janet - Super sweet - and ya gotta love those legs! :) She looks like a fun girl for sure, and I bet there's a bit of a spooky glow when her hat lights up!

Thanks for sharing - and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - awesome first post!

Kathy

P.S. Who needs a GPS, when you have a compass? Too cute!

How wonderful! You've created another unique piece of furniture.

Thanks,

Kathy

I love your take on the suitcase sidetable - very clever!

Kathy

We're getting such an awesome junk tour of your home! It's all so wonderful - and your "new" sidetable is fantastic!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

I've never seen anything like that - what a beautiful new life you've given it!

Kathy

You've brightened my day with your little lights! Great job Grasshopper!

Kathy

Another wonderful creation - love every little bit of it!

Great find and reuse!!

Kathy

Love your kitties! And their cute little ears DO give them just the right touch of personality!

Kathy

Have you gone into the lamp building business??? You should!

Very nice work.

Kathy

Thanks again for sharing your projects with us - your lamp has a simple, elegant look!

Kathy

Very cool - a great spot for some junk-inspirational reading!!

Very nice work!

Kathy

The wonderful ideas just keep coming - so glad you joined us at JUNKMARKET Style!

Very clever use!

Kathy

That is oh-my-gosh cool! And bri-wax to seal it? Great idea!

Kathy

What a great use for the doctor's bag!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

What a completely and totally awesome look!! I love ceiling tins too - and yours are rusted to perfection!

Kathy

Great save - and such a perfect use! Love it!

Kathy

P.S. Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

I'm sure some lucky princess will be loving that vanity - great purchase and beautiful paint job!

Kathy

Wonderful finds! I LOVE the sewing machine - and you've got so many great drawers to work with - woo hoo!!

Kathy

What a great little reminder stand you've made!!

Thanks for sharing,

Kathy

Very nice - and I like the addition of the boa... And, WOW you've got a "bit" of bling!! (But, I don't think you can ever have too much...)

Kathy

Nicely done - and how sweet - I'm sure your Mom will love it!

Kathy

I love the lantern and the centerpiece you created! What a great find!

Kathy

Looks like you've had some junk fun! How cute! Love the scales!

Kathy

WOW! Your table is absolutely amazing! And, a coating of diamond dust around the edge (a little hidden "bling"!) :)

It looks wonderful in your dining room!

Thanks for sharing.

Wishing you much junk success at your sale! And, like Melody said...it does look heavenly!

Kathy

Very cute display - welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!!

Kathy

Andrea - I love the rusty, chippiness of your new "sidetable". What a great find!

Kathy

P.S. A reciprocating saw??? I don't have one of those - may have to add it to my Christmas list! :)

Sue - now we can add wedding planner to your resume!

And dah-ling - the bride-to-be looks simply divine - in an all of junk-chic finery!

Kathy

Oh, Sue - it looks like a wonderful place to visit - and spend a day! I love the shoe forms, and the colors of the ceiling tins are fabulous!

So, you found a couple things, right? The x-ray viewer...and??

Thanks for giving us the tour!

Kathy

OK...first - so glad you've let us into your "inner circle" - so much fun to see your collections! :)

Second - I see some of my collections here too...clocks (ha ha - no surprise - and ever growing...), bottle stoppers (LOVE them), and bottles. Other round things I collect are rag balls, buttons, Christmas ornament bulbs, dresser mirrors, yikes - this is getting scary!

Can't wait to see what you do with all the great stuff in the first picture...

Sue - thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What great finds! I love the pump - would like to find one for my garden too!

Thanks for sharing,

Kathy

What an awesome birdhouse (and love the name)!

Thanks for sharing,

Kathy

Andrea - I love your tablescape - such a great collection of unused things turned into a beautiful table setting! The music sheets are so perfect as placemats (they could even be laminated or maybe decoupaged to be reused...). I also love the old light fixture as a bud vase, the doorknobs, etc., etc.... I'm sure your friends had a fabulous time - and had lots of junk to talk about!!

Take care, Kathy

Gailmarie - I LOVE THIS! I remember that little tune from kindergarten (wow, that was a long time ago...) - and this little cutie is so sweet!!!!! Love it all (guess I already said that...but I DO!)!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Such a beautiful transformation! I love the new finish, and the wallpaper really makes it pop!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Rachel - they're both so cute! I love the big grin!

Kathy

Wow - what a great haul!

Take care and happy junking!

Kathy

You did a wonderful job on your bench - it looks so sturdy, and love the finish!

Kathy

Very nice re-do (I love the look) - and at a bargain price...there's nothing better! :)

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Gailmarie,

I love this little sweetie! Your creations always make me smile!

Thanks for sharing,

Kathy

Love your display of family pics! Thanks for sharing your treasures with us!

Kathy

Your bears are sew creative and sweet!!! The chenille one is my fav!

Thanks for sharing,

Kathy

I love your lacey roses! Very clever.

Kathy

Great reuse of an old lantern!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Michelle, welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Love your window display - and the quilt pieces are beautiful!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a great workspace, and how sweet of your hubby to fix it up for you!

Kathy

I really love this! The weathered look, the little cabinet, the tool storage - and lighting too - how cool!! Wonderful details!

Kathy

Rhonda - welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! The dress form is awesome - looking forward to more of your projects!

Kathy

Laurel,

Very clever organizational solutions!! The old ice box is so cool, and I think the phone planter is a perfect resting place for a cell phone!

Thanks for sharing and good luck with kindergarten!

Kathy

Sue - loving your collections - - round and round they go, and where they stop??? OK - they don't ---- they just go on and on and on.....

(I've got a few of those "neverending" collections too!)

The gear mold is so cool!!!

Take care, Kathy

Jim - another fun electrical creation - LOVE it! Very clever and so well done as always! And, love the crusty paint brushes too! :)

Your drawings are amazing!

Kathy

I love what you did with the phone - great new use and very cool!

Kathy

Well Sue...you did a pretty darned good job on your Falloween display - and special effects too - gotta love 'em! The cream separator is a very cool piece AND you know the clocks caught my eye (we've got them coming out of our ears right now...but still love 'em). :)

Happy, happy!

Kathy

Marybeth - what a great look...industrial never looked so good! The table setting looks like it should be in a magazine!! :)

Very nice!

Kathy

Looks like you've got some creative junk fun ahead of you - can't wait to see!

Kathy

Love this! Lots of uses for an old china cabinet - can't wait to see what you do with yours!

Kathy

Kimberly - will see what I can do about a schoolhouse clock for you...still taking stock of our inventory!

HesterJane - it was big fun...we're eating and sleeping clocks right now! They've kind of taken over!

kathy

Amy - very cool job by your junking hubby, Ron! Tell him congrats on the sale, and can't wait to see the next one!

Kathy

Jim...JOB WELL DONE - my junking friend!!! I'm so proud of you digging into that crawlspace - I would have done the same thing (never mind a little dust and some spiders - or being off limits...ha ha!)!

Great display for the season! Fun vintage stuff...

And those letters (congrats!)...there could have been a scuffle over those for sure - definitely a crowd fav!!!

Good luck on your next expedition!!

Kathy

Geo - love them all!! The moss and fern is my fav! Very cool piece with lots of possibilities.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Gretchen...adding my WOW!! That's so cool and who would have thunk, right?? What a beautiful new use for a pig crate (which I had never seen before...)!

Tell you sister and brother-in-law - job well done!!

Kathy

Well...I'm so glad to be able to share this little slice of junk heaven with you all!! I'm keeping notes of who is interested, and will do an update on my blog next week with some more pics - so stay tuned! :)

We spent today picking up even more...and now we've got a little Fort "Clox" of inventory. Right now I'm testing some...so things are really ticking at my house (and a random alarm goes off now and then too...)! (most of them work, but some will be just for looks)

Sue - thanks for the dance...ha ha! And I'm hoping you get some sleep soon!!

You guys are the best! Wishing you all TONS of great junk!

Kathy

P.S. Hoping an alarm doesn't go off in the middle of the night - my hubby wouldn't be too happy about that! ;)

We're all a happy bunch, aren't we??? Junk is just the best!

Great finds - you came away with some awesome stuff - and all for under $20!!!

OK...my song for the weekend...hi ho...hi ho...it's off to junk I go... (and I'll be whistling while I "work")

Kathy

Love the doors and shutters!!! You're doing a fine job of cleaning up the junk in Maryland - looking forward to pics of your projects!

Kathy

P.S. or I should have signed "obsessed in Ohio"

How fun! You and your dad make a great team! Hank/Albert is very cool!

Kathy

Roxanne,

I would decorate a Christmas tree with the flour scoops for a porch display...how cool would that be? Hope to see pics!

(Yikes, did I just say Christmas??? It must be that snow I heard about in Minnesota that got me started!)

Good luck with your projects and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

Marybeth - love your sidetable AND storage is a bonus! Great re-do!! I bet there were lots of oooohs and aaaahhhhhs at your Parade of Homes - very nice!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Thanks again.

Bluebucket - I looked at your post again - yours were sweet saves - we've got a few to tear apart though... :)

Kenda - that's too funny - hope you're ok!

Amy, I think you need to come out for a photo shoot (I'll pay you in clocks. ha ha)

AtticusFinch - we haven't yet...

Well...time to "wind" down!

Kathy

OK - you guys are cracking me up...I'm guessing if I had a clock party you'd all want to come, right??? hmmmmmmmm.... :) It was definitely like a dream - a bit overwhelming,but we were up to the task!!

It was pretty exciting - and now we're trying to study up on our finds (need a copy of "clocks for dummies"), to know exactly what we have. You'll have to check my blog for info on stuff we'll be "parting with"... (gailmarie - there will be faces...) Lani - would love to help you add to your collection!

Marie - the curbside finds were pretty cool too. My basement is screaming to be emptied out SOON! Good thing we have a show next month!

Thanks for all your comments and remember...ya never know when that "dream sale" will happen - that's why we all keep looking! :)

Hugs, Kathy

Great job repurposing the newel posts! If I had one...it'd be loaded with necklaces and bracelets!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Andrea - I love them both - the vintage look of the paper, etc. is way cool!!! What a clever way to cover a room divider!

Now you'll have to make more...! :)

Kathy

Nice job displaying your treasures! And I agree -shopping at antique shows AND buying you "junk" - your hubby is seriously a treasure too! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great use for the potpourri pot! And like my friend Midge said, I like the way the flowers cascade!

Nice job!

Kathy

What a great find and a perfect way to put it to use! Thanks for sharing and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

How cute - you did such a nice re-do. I love the color and the fact that you can change out the decoration! And you can never have too many places to hide goodies!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a clever way to display some special bits and pieces of memories! Love how you used the blocks.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Sue - your salad is so yummy looking! And love the gear mold...that's very cool! And, I'm thinking that the jump rope can double as decoration AND after meal exercise too!

It really is a bummer that it's already snowing for you in MN...that means it will eventually end up in Ohio too. (Junking down south for the winter would be a good thing!!)

Kathy

Great idea Marie - You are doing some great things with your room! A labor of junk love, I'm sure!!! :)

Kathy

Marie (first - love your new pic...well I think it's new, right or have I not been paying attention???)

And, second...you get an A++++++++++++++ for your organizing dream of a workroom - WOW! The lockers are simply amazing - oh how I would love some of those! And, from the looks of your many machines...you ARE a sewing machine. Your seat cover on your chair (with your name) is super cute. What a fun and very happy place!!! (and yes, thank goodness for sports channels!)

It looks like such an inspiring and relaxing place for you! Thanks for letting us take a peek!

Kathy

You did a fantastic job on the skirt - and endured the pain too - congrats! I've done projects (using wire, broken china, etc...) that have wore out my hands - but the end results are worth it (just not something I'd do every day!!).

Your end result is very clever and so cool!

Thanks for sharing,

Kathy

How beautiful - and oh so creative!

Kathy

What a great gate! (I love the clever use of the spur too.) And what a beautiful setting!

Kathy

Very well done! Love the design!

Kathy

How fun! I love them.

Kathy

Very well done and oh so charming!

Kathy

Very sweet re-do!! Such great style.

Kathy

Joanne - As others have said...my basement is (oh my gosh...)SOOOO similar to yours... So, if nothing else, you've found the perfect support group here. :)

It looks like lots of great stuff to sell!! (I love your "plea" to the occasional shop - hope it works!)

Keep us updated on your progress!

Kathy

Michelle - so glad you joined JUNKMARKET Style! I'm loving your projects - can't wait to see more!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Michelle - Your hubby and you definitely make a great creative team! Your potting table is amazing - and could be put to so many uses.

Thanks for sharing & welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

P.S. And your niece is a cutie pie!!

Marie - I'm almost speechless (doesn't happen often...!)...amazing "take" on the potting station - I've never seen a grill done before but how perfect is that???

And, just think what a little bit of natural aging will do to the color/patina of it! Loving it!!

Very clever!!

Kathy

P.S. And, you didn't waste a thing - cute flower too!

Absoluetly fabulous! Great reuse of the old fabric - and your design work is amazing!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a great shelf! Don't ya just love shutters???

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Very cute button frame! (I love working with buttons too!!)

Looking forward to more posts from you - and so glad you're finding lots of inspiration here - it's so addicting! :)

Kathy

Great little corner in your workshop world!!

Kathy

Great mosaic work! Your Texas theme is very cool - and love the colors!

Kathy

Gailmarie - You are the "wizard of odds (and ends)" and putting them together - so cleverly AND with such personality - no wonder he sold so quickly!!

Love him!

Kathy

Great pieces and parts - I'm picturing some fall flowers or maybe a pile of pumpkins in the tub... :)

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Very clever - and you can never have too many pieces for display!! Love it!

Kathy

What a great piece you created - and you're right - when it comes to junk - IT'S ALL GOOD! :)

Very nice - thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Very beautiful - I've made some of those too - they're all so unique!

Kathy

P.S. I love the display with the Christmas lights!

Alice - these are beautiful! I'm a BIG fan!!

Kathy

CraftingWendy - Great fall display and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - looking forward to more posts from you!

Kathy

P.S. Our "junk stashes" do come in handy sometimes! :)

Jim - the cart is amazing (I would so love to have one of those!!!) - and your display is a beautiful touch of fall splendor!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

This is beautiful - and the neutral butterscotch-y colors/tones would go with almost anything!

Very nice job!

Kathy

Janis - it's scary...all that fun, elegant style - all rolled into one person!! Love it as always!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Candy - you ARE such a clever girl! Love the candy rack, and how you put it to use...AND alphabetizing - that put it over the top!

Sweet, my friend!

Kathy

What an awesome job, MB! I'm in the fan club too...love the finish of the dresser!

Can't wait to see more.

Kathy

jnkldy1 - yep - Rosa is still for sale - but she's packed in our trailer right now...if you're interested you can email me through my blog at www.sylviasdaughter.blogspot.com

Thanks, Kathy

P.S. Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

OK - pouting right now...I wanna come too!!

When we visited in August we didn't have enough time (ha ha) to look at all the treasures - but saw enough to know that it's one of the most unique places I've visited - and it's definitely on the list when we make a return visit!! (right, Candy??)

Wishing you BIG fun, BIG sales and lots of great junk!

Kathy

P.S. Tell Amy and everybody hi - from Ohio!!

gailmarie - You had me at "TuTu Tootsie"! I love her name!!!

You created a little "TuTu" cutie pie!!! From the top of her spikey "do" to the tips of her toes (and her little blingy "garters"...) - she's a crowd pleaser for sure!

Did I mention I love her??

Thanks so much for sharing.

Kathy

Great save Marie! And you you gave it just the right amount of bling! I like how you took it from gold to silver!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a fun table you created! Love the vivid colors and artwork!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Your painted bottles are super cool - and no wonder your nephews want their own set! You are a talented artist!!!

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - looking forward to more posts!

Kathy

Geo...LOVE your potting "party" station! So multifunctional, with just the right touch of rusty-crusty coolness! I like the hooks and handles you added to hold tools, etc. (and it looks like it's on wheels too?? perfect!)

Good luck at your sale and take care!

Kathy

Lani - I love it and all its fabulous chippy-ness!! What a great display.

And, I definitely do follow Sue's bit of junk philosophy too...upside down, inside out, do the hokey pokey...oh wait a minute - just got a little carried away! (junk does that, doesn't it???)

Nice job my friend!!

Kathy

Love your magnets.

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

I love your booth space! And, like Candy said...love the layering of your merchandise!

Glad the show went well..except for that weather thing...!

Kathy

Love your stepping stone and all the elements you added to it!

Kathy

Cara - Your table is simply divine! And the lady you added to the top added a bit of elegance!

Beautiful! Kathy

Woo hoo! Great save - and fortunately for us junking types, some people don't see the value that we see in something...!

It looks great!!

Kathy

Marie - Awesome job and love the faucet handles as feet! Wish I had a scrap yard I could visit...

Kathy

Very pretty! I love the silver and white together. And, the salt shaker on top is sweet!

Kathy

What a clever idea! And, it looks great too!

Kathy

Anne...yippee for you! I know you're gonna have a blast AND make some money too! Love your look - and I'm sure your customers will too.

Kathy

Very cute - and the "innards" are too funny!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Sounds like BIG fun - and your daughter came home with a doll too...!

Kathy

Beautiful fall displays - love the meat grinder!

And, if you want a part-time job...mums are an option, right? :)

Kathy

grannijo, Love your version!! You did a great job repurposing your light fixture (and great price too!) - it's too funny, but I have a light fixture sitting on my workbench waiting for the perfect piece to top it off (it's brass and really needs to be painted) - the inspiration just keeps going round and round!! :)

Kathy

How cool - looks like lots of great material to work with!

Kathy

OK - I guess I'll "have" to start scheduling at least a small get-together for sure!

1. Candy is scheduled to be our next door neighbor - her first time as a vendor at Springfield - I'm SO excited!! (And, Candy - hope to see you at Scott's...let's talk!)

2. LuAnn - Springfield Extravaganza will be the 3rd weekend of May...

3. Lani - we may need to get some rooms reserved!

4. Jim - it's closer than Minnesota...does that help? :)

5. Suewannabeinkc - yep - we're in Ohio - here's the website: http://www.springfieldantiqueshow.com/

6. I better start putting together a mailing list - and we can start thinking about our little Buckeye JUNK party!

And thanks all for your nice comments about our projects - I've started to work on some new "junk" for our November show (it really never ends...thank goodness!!)

Kathy

P.S. Janis - Terri has collaged for a while, and I just started (I made three new ones over the weekend) - they're so much fun.

OK - I know you're shopping at some secret junk hideaway somewhere in the woods of Minnesota - where the heck do ya find stuff like that?? ha ha!! Those are so COOL! And, of course - I love what you did with them (and tie clips to hold the photos...sweet!!!)

Happy Monday to you! And thanks for sharing!!!

Kathy

P.S. Great photos Mom!!! :)

Candy - So simple, so cheap, and so stylish - and I do mean all that in a VERY good way!! (Awesome!!)

Kathy

Great pics! Love the old baby shoes hung in the frame. And I love anything "beachy" - a unique way to display!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Thanks ladies! Midge - glad you've got your calendar marked - looking forward to your visit! Maybe we'll have to have a bit of a "junk potluck"!

Kim - I bought this old paperweight (empty) at an estate sale - and added the buttons, cut a circle out of a piece of a vinyl wallcovering sample that I got from work, and glued it to the bottom. The paperweights are cool because they magnify the contents. Gretchen gave me the idea of using them and I decided to do buttons in this one - I think she had done some for an occasional sale. Hoping to find more...

Kathy

Thanks! We have too much fun (if that's possible) with all of our "stuff"!

My fingers are crossed too - hoping for a caravan of members at Springfield in the spring! :) We'll be at the Scott Antique Show in Columbus, Ohio on Thanksgiving weekend - if anyone's nearby!

Hope you're having a great weekend - leaving now to check out a couple garage sales (the season is winding down...darn...!).

Kathy

WOW from me too! Your hanging lamps are so creative - beautiful job.

Thanks for sharing and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - looking forward to more of your projects!

Kathy

I agree - That's just cool!!!

Kathy

Alright ladies - you're too funny - but we may need a caravan!! (I'm in too...)

Good luck with your sale - I can't believe how much stuff you have...feeling junk overload!! (I mean that in a good way!!)

Kathy

Very cool Jim! You've put these forgotten pieces of sewing paraphernalia to a great new use!

Love the look!

Kathy

grasshopper - love your window - I know you'll find somewhere to hang it - it's pretty and functional - great job!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Looks like some great stuff - best wishes on a great sale!

Kathy

Candy...we have to go! (Anne - I already have the prom dress - just need to start saving some $$$ to get there.)

Kathy

Thanks for checking out my post and for your comments! You can tell I LOVE this show!

Midge - so glad you'll be coming next year (Candy's coming too, and maybe Sharon, maybe Lani...ok the list is growng...) - we'll definitely have to have a little junk party or something!

Check out my blog for more pictures: www.sylviasdaughter.blogspot.com

Kathy

Thanks everybody - for coming along to Springfield! I think I could just travel the countryside - reporting from show to show...how cool would that be (and be able to buy a little along the way as well).

First...I agree - the clown is a little creepy (the more I look at him, the more he reminds me of that clown in the Stephen King movie..."It"). But he was unique!!! (thank goodness!)

Janis - as far as prices - this show runs from garage sale finds to fine antiques - but our prices in Ohio (and surrounding states) are definitely lower than other parts of the country (so, it's definitely worth a trip for collectors or people looking to re-sell). And, thanks for the info on the shoe scraper - I can see that...

gailmarie & Jim - the green cabinet was in a friend's booth - I admired it from afar! And, I didn't buy any of the globes, but wish I would have. Sue will be checking in here - so, she'll hear about her twin! :)

Karen - you're welcome - it's always great to see new members with new ideas to share - looking forward to more of your posts!

Anita - hope to see you there next year - the list of Buckeye Junkers is growing! ...and Candy - I'm working on it - the more the merrier!! ;)

...there's one more post to go!

Kathy

P.S. Thanks for the comments about my pic - it was time for a change - my friend said I needed to get rid of the bib overalls - I don't know...I kind of liked them!

Olive is a little sweetie! Very clever and love the hidden jewels too!! :)

Thanks for sharing and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

P.S. I read in your profile that you sell at Brimfield - that's on my "to-flea" list!!! Will visit your website too!

You kicked up some great planters (and sounds like there may be two more somewhere...ha ha)! And, the pottery collection is awesome (I've got a bit of pottery too - don't ya just love it??)

Thanks for sharing and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!!

Kathy

Anne - Ohhhhhh - way tooooo much fun! :) Lucky you!

Great purchases - can't wait to see your booth space - I know it's going to have a wonderful vintage look!!! :)

Kenda - you're too funny - I know what you mean about loving all the stuff you buy (therein lies part of my accumulation problem - and I still sell part of it! LOL)

Anne - will check your blog! Happy junking trails to you!!

Kathy

Great job Ang! The tin is so cute and makes a perfect clock face! Such a fun piece!

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

Nice save - the wood is beautiful and has a new purpose!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Candy - Don't let Lani see this...she's gonna want it!!! ;)

Anyway...amazing repurpose! It looks wonderful hanging in your foyer (I'm coming up for a visit - gotta see all this great stuff you're collecting - AND I want a tour!).

So, what you gonna do with the rest of them??? (inquiring minds want to know...)

Great save my friend!!

Kathy

gailmarie, Joanne & snowyowl...thanks for your comments. I just have too much fun with all this "junk" - but can you really have to much junk fun?? I don't think so! :)

Please check out Laurel's version of the serving dish - actually a few of them - they're awesome! http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/16387/de-light-ful-serving-piecesinspired-by-shabby-chick

snowyowl - hoping to see pics of your projects too!

Take care, Kathy

Laurel - you really did those serving dishes up right (and I bet the treats WERE tasty as well)! I'm sure you got lots of compliments from your friends too.

My favorite is the one on the silver base - but, they're all so sweet! I love how we inspire each other and then come up with creations that show our own style.

Very nice job! Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

P.S. Now...I want to have a party!!

I think your little Rebel could be my favorite too! She's definitely got some attitude with her "hands" on her hips - she's just a riot!!

Love her!!!

Kathy

What an awesome piece of art you created! Nice job!

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

Karen,

Beautiful fall display - I love vintage mirrors - they can be used in so many different ways.

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

Thanks Sue & Gretchen! I know I'm gonna be dragging you all out here one of these days!!!

Gretchen - we have definitely made the transition into more neutral tones, and more silver/metal pieces - and everybody's liking it (and buying it). It seems like a more aged look - and can fit in with any color someone decorates with.

Sue - just call me "pics-r-us" - I've definitely got 'em!! :)

Take care, Kathy

These are wonderful - great save on the candleholders - and so clever how you've repurposed them!

Kathy

Jen - love your project - and the copper definitely adds a nice look to the piece.

I love flipping through the pages of the Junk Beautiful books for inspiration too!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great project and story - an awesome re-discovery of your junking roots!!

I think there are quite a few of us who have a long history of junk - gotta love it!!! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Very cute! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Kathy

Janis - I LOVE THESE! A great way to make the bottles a little sturdier and add a bit more "vintage" to the look.

And of course...you are the queen of jewels & ribbon!! And you wear your crown so well!! :)

Will have to check out chiccottagejunk - thanks!

Kathy

Thanks all! It was a great weekend, and we had fun setting up our space (except for the late night - had to use a floodlight from one of our "neighbors" so we could finish! We really should have just slept in our truck (it was almost midnight when we finished!).

Sharon - hope to see you there next year (and lots of others too)!

Alice - I checked your blog - love the angels! :)

Candy, ol buddy ol pal - we definitely need to talk!!

texasjunkermom - I'm not sure about the cloche... I looked at some on ebay (great place to get an idea on prices - saw an antique one (16" tall) starting to bid at $49 - and $20 for shipping...) so that price might be a little high if it's a new one??? - anybody else know??

Lani - I'm sure if the Grizzly would have gone shopping - he'd get be able to deal on some great prices!! And be able to carry heavy furniture too...a junk hunk!! :) (Lani - I'm all for a get-together!!)

Janis - thanks about the pic - I thought I needed something new - it may change again - not sure...haha!

Have a great week!! (and stay tuned for Part II)

Kathy

MB - three of my top ten favorite words!! Very nicely (and simply) done!! I need to try one of those cricuts...

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Challenge #1,325 or so it feels like, right?? They just keep coming and you keep pulling another awesome project out of your "challenge" hat!!

Your vintage frame is very cool - and I love your choice of paint color too. The door knobs really finish it off!

Keep up the good work! And good luck in Philly!

Kathy

OK Lani dear...your "simple" tables and their style are over the top cool!! Not sure which is my favorite - oh heck...I think I love them all the same!

The little table rise is super cute! And, what a great repurpose for that chandelier - it makes an awesome table! And, yes the chimney cap is probably the icing on your simple project "cake"!!!

Loving it all, my friend!

Kathy

Very cool and unique idea! Looks like lots of hard work went into it!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Your feedsack bags are so cute! It looks like you're a very talented/creative seamstress - these should sell well!

And...welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - you'll find lots of junk here to inspire you for sure! Looking forward to more of your posts.

Take care, Kathy

Laurel - looks like you got some great stuff at the Bonanza! The hose reel works so well as a plant stand - great idea! (You've got some great vintage decor!)

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

Again...great repurpose - you did an amazing job!

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

Marie - this is super sweet - what a great find and a perfect idea to reuse it!

Way to go!

Kathy

Love the table you made and your country setting looks beautiful - good luck with your sale!!

Kathy

Thanks again (no speech this time!)! Laurel, hope to see some pics of your girl's night decor...

Lani - yep, great memories - and a whole lotta fun!

Take care, Kathy

Sharon...would love to have an Ohio event...! I know there are a lot of Buckeye Junkers out there...and surrounding states too...right Midge, LuAnn??? Others?

It's definitely a great way to make new junking friends, and meeting in person is just way too much fun!!

Kathy

OK...you're all gonna make me blush! :) Thanks for your comments - ya just gotta love those super simple projects that put on a great show AND have a purpose in their new life as well!!

The junk potluck was a huge success (and so was the blog party) - thanks and congrats to Amy & Co. for all their hard work! And thanks for bringing us all together - everytime I look at the pics...there's a new memory...

Just a note...In your search for lamp bases, be sure to pick something that will hold up to the weight of your light fixture - you don't want it to be top heavy. These two pieces were surprisingly well balanced in weight and size. And, if a finial won't hold it together...I bet a little Gorilla Glue would do the trick, and then place something decorative over the hole to cover it up.

Take care, Kathy

WOW...like they said...can't believe someone would throw that out! Lucky you for finding it!

Kathy

Your junk angel is heavenly!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a great guy - big smiles here too!

Very nice job!

Kathy

Oh...she's a cutie pie! Like Candy said...everything goes together perfectly!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

That's an amazing piece of furniture - a few things all rolled into one - fabulous job! It's not surprising that it sold right away!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Love your birdhouses - and what a creative way to hang them...from a ladder - great idea!!

Kathy

Geo - I really like this! Love the addition of the webbing and the fish stringer.

I've got one in my workspace that is covered with "junk" - ha ha - go figure - need to organize it a bit so I can see it! :)

These are such great pieces to work with - well done, my friend!!

Kathy

Great haul! You hit the junker's jackpot! I bet your sale will be a HUGE hit!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Great job - very "pretty in pink"!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

P.S. Good luck - hope you get your photo problem worked out... I changed a setting on my camera too and it worked on mine.

I see art runs in the family - awesome job Eliza & Adam! Your little people are so fun and creative - I can tell by your pictures that you're so proud of your work!

Aunt Gail - way to go - two new artists have been discovered, and who better to help them?

Thanks for sharing - hoping to see more!

Kathy

SWEET CUPCAKES & JUNK!!! What more could a girl ask for??? And, I do love the paper dress - how much fun is that?

It looks like a great time, and wishing all of you LOTS OF SALES AND LOADS OF FUN!

And - really feeling some serious pink camper envy! (It's sweet!!) :)

Kathy

P.S. Junkers were out in full force at Springfield - I'm betting it'll be awesome for you all as well!

Su-Z-Q! You have done it again (I really had no doubt...ha ha!)!!

Your little napkin rings are loaded with metallic elegance! Amazing...just amazing!

(And, Candy - I believe one of those did get stuck on "someone's" finger too...such cheap entertainment, right??)

Well done "again", my friend!!

Kathy

Marie - you ROCK - this is an awesome piece. I love how you painted the drawers and drybrushed them - it really added to the already great rusty patina of the cabinet. It is totally cool. (I want one!!!) It looks perfect in your craft/sewing room!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What an awesome chair - those ties couldn't have gone together any better - it is a work of art!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a fun piece - a great facelift for the clock you found!

And...welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - looking forward to more of your posts!

Kathy

Very cute - what a clever idea!

Kathy

Great job - I love little cabinets...and yours is darling!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Very pretty - it really is a piece of art!

Thanks for sharing.

What a great reuse! Your redesign is beautiful!

Kathy

What a cool table - so much detail, and the color shows it off perfectly!

That's a fun idea to group some spooky pics together! Very creative!

Kathy

It is a GREAT room! I love the stacked suitcases!

Thanks for sharing your space!

Kathy

Beautiful and what a great fall display.

You put some great elements together, and topped it off with an awesome paint color!

Thanks for sharing!

You did it!! Very cool piece and I love wind chimes!

Kathy

What a great find - and a perfect reuse for it!

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style and thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more of your posts!

Great use of the rub-on words on rocks...might have to try that too!

BELATED HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY my friend!

Love it!

Kathy

So...what's next??

Sue - Great post of a great event - with great fun and great presents provided by great friends - to a great person!! (and great is an understatement in our wonderful junking world...don't ya think?).

Anyway, so sorry to not be there (where's that private jet when I need it???).

So....up until 5:00 am - yikes...that beats our 4:30 - haha! :) (and...we missed dancing???)

Love that "angel" you got from Laurel - it's so cool! And, the necklace is awesome.

Happy, happy birthday,

Kathy

Jim - your motto should be "let there be light" because you create the best!!!

These pieces work beautifully together - love how you used the wood level!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Oh JENNY, JENNY, JENNY! Kicking up your artsy heels I see! Awesome as always!!!

Love it! Kathy

Thanks again - you all rock!! With all your great comments - I may have to ask more for it than I thought...ha ha (not really!).

AND...I REALLY appreciate all your good wishes for the show - AND I REALLY wish you could ALL be there (wouldn't we have a blast???).

Alice, I may have to make a couple more for the next show!

Sue, thanks...will take all the junker's juju I can get!

Kathy

P.S. Lawyergirl - can't wait to meet you. I'll have a JUNKMARKET Style sign out...(making one now...ha ha!!)

I'd love to visit Paris...fleamarkets, etc....

Thanks for sharing!

You're collecting some nice inventory to sell - can't wait to see what you come up with!!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

So glad you had a successful show!

Take care, Kathy

gailmarie...thanks for the smile this morning!! Another amazing assemblage...and I agree, two heads are better than one!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

P.S. Love their "hairdos"! :)

Sue, I love the use of the old trophy and of course Gretchen's jewelry...amazing as always. The flowers are the perfect touch of fall color!

I know what Gretchen means about the hug...we felt right at home the moment we walked in! :)

Well done!

Kathy

P.S. Have a fabulous day! :)

Thanks for your comments everyone. I almost didn't want to part with this one when it was finished...but, guess you can't keep everything, right??? LOL

I appreciate your support, and (since we've got a beautiful weather report for the weekend), hoping for a great show. I've got a new post on my blog showing pictures of some of the things we're selling, as well as details about the show...please stop by: http://sylviasdaughter.blogspot.com/

Thanks again - you're all the best!!

Kathy

Alice, you're making some beautiful jewelry, my friend! The Madonna and Child piece is wonderful!

Thanks for sharing and good luck with your new jewelry venture!

Kathy

First...welcome to JUNKMARKET Style, so glad you joined us!

Second...amazing repurpose of the glass chandelier - and so simple too! Very clever.

Third...can't wait to see more of your ideas!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Marie - you've officially joined the "lamp of the month" club! Great job - I love how you added the washers to the shade - and the base is way cool!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great buy Marie - and I love how you displayed it. You and Alice are too funny, but I LOVE the idea...buy till you get it right! :) (practice, practice) OK...I officially have a new motto...thanks ladies! LOL

Kathy

Cute desk, and I completely understand your sense of accomplishment (a same day purchase/completed project)...congrats!

Take care, and thanks for sharing!

Love your garden fairy! She looks happy to be the keeper of the gate! :)

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - looking forward to more of your projects!

Kathy

Midge - very touching way to honor the memories of the day and your dad!

Kathy

Hi! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Love what you did with the vintage license plates - the colors (and great old patina) are awesome displayed together!

Very nice job!

Kathy

Your cupola is so cool - and 8 feet tall...wow!! Can't wait to see what you do with it...as yard art or topping off a gazebo...or wherever! :)

Thanks for sharing and congrats on your find!

Kathy

Candy - thank you so much for posting this (I had been watching the count, so knew it was near).

And, THANKS to Sue for providing this outlet for our ever-growing support group of junkaholics ;) - from beginners to accomplished artists - it's a wonderful, positive mix of people that I'm proud to be a part of!

And, THANKS to all our great members - it's so much fun to see what junk everyone's up to (there's so much talent and creativity shared...) - you're all amazing!

Looking forward to our future growth and all the junking possibilities that will bring!

Can't wait till we hit 10,000! Woo hoo hoo!!!

Happy junking, Kathy

P.S. Marie - no, you're right, we certainly don't think you're crazy...we're all "birds of a feather"! ;) (and I mean that in the best way)

Candy - you've done an awesome job...and I know your hubby is going to love it all!! You put so much thought into each one - love the picture with the books.

Thanks for sharing his (pre)birthday with us! Tell him we ALL said happy birthday!! :)

Kathy

FABULOUS! That's all I'm saying!

Well...one more thing...you know I love your jewelry!

Take care my friend,

Kathy

Thanks for sharing - it is a touching tribute to an event that has affected all of us...

Take care, Kathy

Amazing, Lani! You've added some great touches of vintage color to your look - it all looks very yummy! :)

And, like Candy said...you make it look effortless! I'm guessing your table decor a big hit!

Take care, Kathy

P.S. My favorite thing is the red cooler.

I love your chandelier - it looks perfect in your outdoor space!

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

Yep - they are a bit spooky (but not in a bad way...), and I really love your "good time girl" - and the last picture is awesome.

Nice display job!

Kathy

Great save! I have a collection of clocks too...(anybody else?? ha ha)

These are all very cool!

Kathy

Jenny - I love the meaning of the piece as well - a little kindness does go a long way! Your creative/artful interpretation is awesome.

Love it!

Kathy

Thanks again ladies! Now I need to find some more wire...I'm ready to get the wire cutters out again! (and RustyDiva...you're right - wiring is a little tough on the fingers!)

Take care, Kathy

Marybeth - first WELCOME to our newest contributor! Love your style and projects - such a great addition to the site!

And, second - hoping my invitation is in the mail - it all looks lovely (and yummy) - and the white painted table is fabulous!

Take care, Kathy

Midge! Well...what a great transformation you hatched up (that's all I'm saying...cuz I peeked)!

It's awesome - I love all the storage it provides too. I'm sure you'll find some creative use for the little holder on the side.

Thanks for sharing and I think you should "share" a pic of the redo with the guy you bought it from - he will be "awed and amazed" I'm sure!

Kathy

Another wonderful creation - and her name is beautiful too!

Her pieces and parts (and tips) - are all in perfect harmony!!

Thanks for sharing with us!

Kathy

Very pretty - those two pieces go together perfectly!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

I love this - and I think a light fixture would be awesome - the crystals would sparkle even more!

Kathy

Very pretty - old iron headboards are just awesome.

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style and thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Who doesn't love those four letters??? F-R-E-E...

I vote for the kitchen island - and hope to see a picture of the finished project - whatever you decide to do with it! It's aawesome.

And the mirrored dresser - is super cool too! Lucky you!

Kathy

Very nice - and I love the addition of the seashells.

Good luck with your show!

Love the color... Hoping to see pictures of your finished craft room! I love seeing other people's creative spaces.

Thanks for sharing.

You definitely gave your cabinet a great new life!! Very nice paint job!

Great headboard & great style! Perfect combination!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

What a great use for an old flower frog - and well designed!

So glad you joined us at JUNKMARKET Style - can't wait to see more of your projects!

Kathy

And, I agree...the award for most creative use of old trophies goes to...sassycrafter!

Thanks for sharing & welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Looking forward to more of your craftiness!!

Kathy

Gailmarie - he's just too sweet!!! I like how you matched his eyes to the little boy's on the container!

And, chocolate milk does sound pretty good right about now!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Cute - and you gave it a beautiful new life. I've got some brass in my house that is screaming to be redone too... :)

Kathy

This is a fun piece! I love all the bling!

Kathy

Nice job! I love old light fixtures too, and a candleholder is a perfect use to show them off!

Kathy

Nicely done! I love the crystals!

Kathy

Well done! Your table setting is so inviting! And college students DEFINITELY appreciate homecooked meals!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great signs - You can never do too much advertising - and your signs will definitely help!

Good luck with your booth space!

Kathy

Looks like a "no labor" day for you! Super simple and so elegant!

Those mouthpieces are very cool.

Kathy

Laurel - what a beautiful room - I love the garden fence valance too!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

BRAVO!! I can see it's going to be hard to stump you on these challenges... AND I'm thinking you might want to thank the person who started all this fun... ;) (ha ha)

Sue, I think the kitchen bridal shower idea was genius! It's all beautiful - and I love the beaters being used for candle holders!

Well done again - my friend!

Kathy

Jenny - I'm following the crowd......I LoVe It Too!!! :)

The graphics are super cool!!! (and like your new pic too)

Thanks for sharing your gift with us!!

Kathy

Thanks everybody! The cloche really turned into a great chandelier/candolier...and hoping the weather stays nice so we can use it outside a little longer!

Candy - I like the pic from "down under" too - thought it was a cool view - thanks!! (too much camera fun!)

Sue - can't wait to meet you at Springfield (we've got some wire cloches to sell. :)

Janis - We don't find much garden fence that has aged...but thought we might just buy some new stuff and let it sit out in the weather for a while!

Take care & have a great weekend!

Kathy

Thanks! Glad you liked the cloche - my next post will show the chandelier - with the cloche "hiding" in the middle!

Good luck with your projects too!! :)

Kathy

Very cute! The bird is a great addition!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Janis - so lovely!!! You gave your lamp such a beautiful new life (with a bit 'o' bling" too). I like to reuse small lamps too - yours is so elegant!

Geo...you're too funny!! I want to see pics of your booth - to see "JMS - California-style"!!! :)

Kathy

P.S. And your pictures are so beautiful - love the outdoor setting!

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style and what a great first post!! Your den is junked up just right! The metal piece is perfect for displaying photos and easy to change out when you want.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

My vote is coming in late, but I also vote for painting (and distressing). And, I think a marriage of pieces would make it spectacular.

I could also picture it as a potting table (with a window and some architectural pieces attached for shelving...) - and the drawers would provide great storage for tools, pots, etc... One of the large drawers could be pulled out and the space used as a shelf - to display pots, garden junk, etc...

Or, a drawer or two could be pulled out (for components to fit in), and it could be used as an entertainment center.

OK - stopping now - let us know what you come up with - can't wait to see pics!

Kathy

P.S. Don't ya just love "free"? :)

What a great old stove - and you finished it off perfectly! It looks fantastic as garden art!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Love your fall display (and I'm also not wanting summer to end...wait we've hardly had a summer in Ohio...) - but I do love the colors of fall.

Very clever display with the muzzle and the key fob is very cool!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

This isawesome! Love the star, and like everybody else - I'm not surprised it sold right away.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Midge - Love this! A sweet Kodak-moment for sure!! And you should definitely use the "say cheese" - that's too cute!! :)

Go Midge!!!

Kathy

So much for feeding hungry chickens, huh?? Well, at least they won't get lost in the dark when they come to raid YOUR fridge!! :)

Seriously, Jim......this is fantastic! (and so clever!) Love your pics too!

Kathy

I love how you put this together! Very Janis-inspired - with your own personal touch! The added "bling" is perfect!

I love how you're using the chicken feeders - a nice rustic touch! I've got one that I've been using as a planter (I planted impatiens in it).

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great find! You've put it to good use, and the window hanging above will look awesome.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Anne - such a simple display - with a lot of style! (and cheap too - that's always a bonus)

So glad you joined in - can't wait to see more of your posts! Good luck with your booth space (and your future plans)!

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

Simply sweet!

Kathy

Marie - LOVE IT! Very clever...I like your imagination!! Such a fun addition to your gardening junk!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

No idea here...but it definitely has an angelic "look" to it! (or fairy)

Looking forward to the new life you'll give to it! :)

Kathy

Marie - too funny! - but I think we all understand - so, you're not alone!!! :)

Yee-haw! Such a simple thing, and you can use it so many ways! Fun post!

Kathy

Laurel - what an awesome treasure hunt you were able to go on... AND you were able to save so much from demolition - Yay for you - and can't wait to hear about your occasional sale (you've got some great inventory to start with)!

Take care, Kathy

P.S. I love the necklace! :)

Sue - It looks like you packed a whole lot of junk into your Charlotte visit - and found some great new places to shop too.

And, you got to meet up with MB - how cool! I know you girls had BIG fun!

Congrats on a successful show!

Kathy

Candy - you hit the "mother lode" didn't you?? And, what a great idea to donate the ones you don't want/need!

I'm sure they were SO happy to help you - and as you drove away they're saying "what's she gonna do with all those things??". (I'm sure people have said that about me before too...ha ha!)

So, no doubt we'll see a fabulous book display and/or project in the near future, and you're building your inventory to make some $$$ - smart girl!! :)

Great curb stop my friend!!

Kathy

Oh my gosh...this is so sweet!! (and free too - how nice!!) I love the chenile on the shade!

Great job - thanks so much for sharing!

Kathy

Hey - thanks you guys! This was just a little fun thing I thought I had to share! I almost hated putting it into the chandelier...ha ha So, today Terri and I made five more - to sell - we'll see how they go.

Kenda - can't wait to see how your girls junk night goes - we have so much fun, and I think we'll invite a few more people next time - the more the merrier!! :) (And, hoping I can get down to Texas one of these days - there's a few people I'd like to meet...)

Geo...I say go into mass production honey!! - ha ha!!! :) I think people will love them! (we actually did three different sizes today) (and I also thought they'd look cool hung from chains in a grouping - maybe with a big crystal hanging in the middle of them...?????)

LuAnn - you're right - so much for Tupperware... :)

Jan - can't wait to see your cloche!

Midge - I'm going to do a post on my blog - so will let you know and you can see the finished chandelier.

Thanks again everyone! Happy Junking!

Kathy

Midge, Midge, Midge - I hope to visit and sample some of your "junk food" one of these days - it looks like you know how to throw a meal together (literally...out of the back of your van - gotta love that)!!

You've got some great stuff there - the typewriter (ala chocolate)...how perfect! And your caged chicken is way too funny!

Way to go!!!

Kathy

P.S. Maybe we'll all meet up in Oronoco next year! :)

Lani - this piece is so special - lots of history... And it looks wonderful on your dining table!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Thanks for the peek of the Longest Yard Sale - the old VW van is too much fun! I went 4 years ago with three of my girlfriends - we had a great time, and filled a trailer!

Can't wait to see what you create with your finds!

Kathy

Midge! So glad things went well for you -lots of great advice here for sure - and when you love what you're talking about...that makes it all so natural!

Keep up the good work!! You're a great voice for us junkers!

:)

Kathy

Cindee - I love this (and your blog is great)! You took so many pieces and parts and created a beautiful little "home"!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Maybe an ashtray/smoking stand? Can't wait to see what you create!

Kathy

That is absolutely the cutest thing! I love it! (and so many possibilities for display)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

So cute - and love the bling! I have a bit of junk jewelry that I like to work/play with too!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

The bottle tree is fun! I would love to visit Tybee Island. I have a book with photos of cottages - and the ones there look so cute and have been refurbished.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What awesome windows you found - you've gotten lots of great ideas from everyone - I like the room divider idea - they could be hinged (taken apart easily or more added on if needed).

Whatever you decide to do - please share pics with us!

Take care, Kathy

I love how this tabletop was pieced together - the colors are awesome!

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Candy - you put your "new" backpack to work already! It looks so nice on your porch and like Sue said...the lock is to die for cool!!

Be sure it's easily accessible for our next trip though! (Gotta have somewhere to stash all your junk!)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Awesome shower curtain! Some stores are great for inspiration - you did a great job - and at a great price!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

This looks so welcoming on your door - nice job! And good luck on selling your home.

Kathy

Great stuff! I love the drawer and the pincushion is too cute!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

That is so cool - I've never seen one before. I also like it in it's natural state (the rusty green)...but if the color doesn't go with your look, then I agree with RustyDiva...paint it! :)

Would love to see a pic of it when you're done with it.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Sue - Simply natural elegance - nice display.

And, I also love the idea of simple Mondays - since it's noon, and I'm still not quite awake yet... :) (guess I was working in the basement too late last night on a couple projects...).

Kathy

Sue - well, well, well...toilet paper never look so good! Who knew a fixture in the bathroom could provide so much entertainment?!?

You've accomplished another challenge in fine form my dear! (Jim, I know you were "bracing" yourself for what she might come up with...)

Can't wait to see how you "flush" out the next challenge! :)

Kathy

Lani - You totally did this forgotten piece justice and it looks so happy in its new home! Such a clever and entertaining use for it!

(Be sure to watch out...the Pfarkel sisters' camper may be pulling up in the middle of the night to steal it away!) ;)

And, great job with the power tools!

Love it! Kathy

Thanks byapryor - wish I could have bought it all!! :)

FYI to all - I found a few pieces of old linoleum squares today at a sale...can't wait to frame them up!! Woo hoo!!

Kathy

Gretchen...

You definitely found some buried treasures! And, I know your creations will be unbelievable. It was so much fun to visit the French Flea and see your designs in real life!

I'll be keeping my eyes open for some more goodies for you too (and thanks for the bag of leftovers...I'll take them anytime!)

Love ya, Kathy

Thanks for all your comments - Oronoco was amazing - and will hopefully be an annual trip for us!

We did all come across some great junk... Candy and I will have to bring a truck next time (oh yeah...we'll need that to pull the Airstream!).

About the gas sign...it brought back "vague" memories of gas wars (I must have been really young!! ;)

Sue and the little pink dress...they were MFEO! Just too cute!

Midge - watch out...we're coming to your storage unit next!!

Hey dragnfli! Love your pic - and I wish I would have bought one of those linoleum pieces for you...guess there's a project in our future! (and keep your calendar open - you're coming along with us next year!)

Kari - you covered some serious ground on Friday...whew......bet you got lots of great junk!

Gretchen - I feel like we only saw about half the show...guess we'll have to move a little faster next time (or get there earlier - ha ha).

Sue Sullivan - we'll definitely meet up at Springfield - our spaces are 828 and 851 (will send you a map).

Lani - there was at least as much laughter as there was junk - such great memories! :) And, you know Candy and I will be back!

Amy - your space was fabulous - not to mention the music, great food, etc... Glad to share some pics - you were a busy bee!!!

Well, I'm going to be busy working on my next post...and showing off my "finds"...(sorting through a few hundred pictures...).

Take care,

Kathy

I love the age/patina of the piece - thanks for sharing & welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - hope to see more of your posts!

Kathy

Great job on your water ski bar! What a fun conversation piece too!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Great job on your hall tree - very well put together, and love the sleek look with the black paint!

Looking forward to more of your posts!

Kathy

Hi dresdenjunkshun! So glad you joined us at JUNKMARKET Style!

Your pictures are great - I like the rusty bed best of all. Looking forward to more of your posts!

Kathy

Hitting the road - what fun! I'm sure you'll be a big hit!!

Can't wait to see pics!

Take care and be safe!

Kathy

Candy - so glad to see all that great stuff in perfect order...like little junk soldiers!! You were such a good junking scout - and the best traveling buddy!!!!

And, hey, I didn't see you pick up that nifty spare parts roll - how'd you sneak that by me??

It looks like you're well equipped for our next outing - shopping cart in hand - you'll be dangerous (and your little backpack to hold all your smalls! :)

Scout's honor - you found some great junk!!

Hugs, Kathy

I love garden junk, and your flower "bed" is very cool. Looking forward to more of your projects/posts! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Kathy

Well...my favs...the daisies, the jewelry and the candles...it's all too cool though - how about a mix of candies...M&Ms, Hershey kisses, etc., etc....or bowls of buttons, or sprinkles/toppings for ice cream cones/sundaes??? A million and one uses!

Great little project there Miss Sue!! :)

Kathy

OH MY GOSH! That is a dream...to just be able to walk in and scoop up every little bit of junk you can find!!! (I seriously have dreams like that - your real life find is so cool.)

You've got some great stuff to play with - can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for letting us in on your fairy tale finds! :)

Kathy

It's so nice to be able to corral all those random items that insist on being clutter bunnies - your cute bread box is working like a charm! (and I LOVE chalkboard paint)

Love your commentary - thanks for sharing with us!

Kathy

Very cool! No Maytag repairman needed for that one - you did it up right!! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Love it - great old crate and sooo easy - you made great use of your alone time! :)

Kathy

Oh wow!!! Your garden tea house is amazing - what a great friend to let you in on some awesome salvage materials!

What a dreamy setting - kick off your shoes and relax! I'd love to have a little get-away in my yard too (I'm dreaming of a cute little vintage camper...).

Great job! Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Cute wagon - great color! I love gardening in wagons and wheelbarrows too...easy to move when you want to "redecorate"!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

P.S. The whole camping experience couldn't have been any more perfect...Thanks!!! (and hugs all around...) :)

Well, all I can say is - and being very truthful...THE PFARKEL SISTERS SAVED OUR SORRY CAMPER BEHINDS - seriously! (I guess you could say we were just a tad "high maintenance" being the "experienced" campers we are...ha ha). I really think we had just one thing on our minds when we set out that morning (a bit behind our anticipated 7:00am departure time...wink wink) - and it was nothing but JUNKING! But - at least we remembered the tent and sleeping bags!

Setting up the tent was big fun - and I believe there is a photo circulating (thanks to our dear "tweet" Candy) that refers to how many JMS girls, Pfarkel sisters AND Tomboy Tool gal does it take to set up a tent? You don't want to know...

The Pfarkels are amazing - SO much fun...and we even got a peek inside the big camper - love the flamingos ladies!!

Note to my fellow JMS contributors...Next year we'll be alongside the Pfarkels in our "Airstream"! :)

Hugs from Ohio! Kathy

jakiparrot - I've visited the Renninger's Antique Extravaganza in Mt. Dora (very cool/quaint little town) - and they have monthly shows, but the Extravaganzas are in February and November - over 1000 vendors. It's an awesome show!

Here's the link to the site: http://www.renningers.com/dora/dorahome.htm

I'm sure there are others as well.

Kathy

Looks like huge fun - I know it seems to go on forever down there - a junker's dream!

And it's so cool that you showed off Junkmarketstyle - the more the merrier!! :) (I think I'll hang a sign at my space in September too!).

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

Great stuff LuAnn - and the view is so beautiful. Hoping to make it up that way some time!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

So sweet - what a nice gift and Makayla is too cute!! :)

Kathy

Ah.....such sweet stuff!!! And you've definitely got the eye for finding it! Candy and I were so excited about being part of the fun - and we were not disappointed!!! (a little sleep deprived maybe...but oh well - there was definitely not a minute wasted!).

I loved those light fixtures too - I think it would look so cool out on a porch or patio (or an entry, etc., etc...)...what great lighting!!

And the gas pump front...well - I bet we see more of those photo opps (or oops!)!

You're right, it is definitely an awesome thing to see young junkers out there buying AND selling...great junk never grows old! (That doesn't mean we're considered old junkers does it??? I didn't think so!)

Thanks for sharing the pics Sue... We're looking forward to another camping trip (maybe Candy can "borrow" the Airstream!)...

Hugs, Kathy

There's our girls! Great pic!

Kathy

You girls rock! How lucky to be able to hit the sale before the crowds!!!! (so....you snuck right in there - with your little camper and found some great stuff!!)

Way to go, Kathy

This is such a great use of those random lids - very sweet (and love the apron!)

Kathy

Wonderful (I don't know what else to say...). I love the patina, the color, the new function and life you brought to the piece (ok...so I thought of a a little something to say!)

Love it!

Kathy

Very cool - anything to make a laundry room a fun place to look at (never mind about piles of laundry, right?).

Ingenious and sooo functional!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Janis - very cool! And, I know I'm feeling better already! Very sweet with the vintage syringe! :)

Kathy

P.S. And, who doesn't like Life Savers, right??

These are great Sue! I love their color and simple, elegant style!

Kathy

Awesome!! Love that old farm scale - great way to show it off and functional too!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

You've got some great stuff - and have used it well!

What a perfect re-use of the kiddie pools (no one will ever know!) ;) It looks so natural! (and...love the bathtub garden too!!)

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

What an awesome bench - and of course the color is just the best shade of chippy blue! It looks perfectly at home!

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style and looking forward to more of our posts!

Kathy

Sue - I LOVE THIS! What a cool find, and SOOOO functional!

You rescued it from a lonely, dusty life in an antique store...guess it was tucked away just waiting for you!

Great job!

Kathy

Jenny - high "fives" all around on this table!!! It's so much fun - and unbelievably creative - who would have thought...?(just like Janis said)- JennyK!


Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Thanks everybody for your nice comments - sounds like we all should get together for one big junk weekend (sounds good Laurel)! It could be a "BYOJ" (bring your own junk...ha ha!!) event! Hmmmm...

My friends and I have a blast - on our trips, project nights, and a lot more! The four of us have been friends for almost 30 years (since our kids were born) - so, it is definitely a blessing to have them to share all kinds of "junk" with!!

Alice - there is definitely always some kind of food involved! :) (and almost always chocolate - haha!)

Lani...ya never know (Sue's got lots to share!! - wink wink!)

Thanks again - hope to see a few wreaths posted soon!

Take care, Kathy

You did that little bare spot up proud - in fab junking style!! (And shopping at home...way to keep the budget down too!)

The wire cloche is very cool. I've got one that I made (will post soon).

Thanks for sharing with us!

Kathy

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - love your reuse of the cabinet (great color), and the lamp on top is fabulous! Great style.

Can't wait to see more of your projects!

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

So much great stuff (and I know a LOT of hard work goes into preparing for a show) - so glad you did well!

Kathy

Great stuff...I love the pink trunk!

Hope you sold every little bit!

Kathy

gailmarie - he's just double the fun...and so, so clever. And, his "hairstyle" is quite sporty!!).

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a great use for the lamp stand! Very clever!

Kathy

Jim - The whole project is awesome - the loom, the pic of your Grammy, the crusty rust, and of course the price - can't beat it!!

Very clever - as always!!!

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

So beautiful! You're a very talented artist - thanks so much for sharing with us!!

Kathy

Very clever - and super simple!! Great idea. Thanks for sharing with us - and welcome to JUNKMARKETSTYLE!

Kathy

Have fun buying and selling everybody. My friends and I went four years ago, and loaded a trailer full of great finds! It was our best girl trip ever! We drove south into to Tennessee a day early, spent the night, and then headed north for three days.

We hope to go back next year for our "five year reunion" of the World's Longest Yard Sale! :)

Can't wait to see pics!!

Kathy

This little project is playing our tune!! Super cute!

And, I love the spring-y candleholders! Great pics.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Yep - clever idea! What a great architectural piece - lots of character!! :)

Fun - thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Geo...this is super sweet! Love that label - great way to show it off!

Looks like you definitely found a treasure buried in your junk pile!

Kathy

Too funny - What a great guy...posing for you, and showing off his junk house!!

Lucky you!!! Kathy

Great idea - and a sweet way to keep some memories going...

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Lots of great stuff - I like your picture frames (yardsticks) - cute!

Glad you did well!

Kathy

Lani & Janis - this is even more fun than I thought! Junk is just fun anyway - and sharing it is a hoot!! (seems like Sue thinks so too...so far!)

Janis - you may visit and play in the basement anytime...I won't even bother to clean it up...! :)

Lani - I'm narrowing my junk pile down for Sue...(we've got a little bit of camping gear to bring too!)

Take care! Kathy

I will be at Amy's blog party (at Oronoco Gold Rush Days) - and would love to donate my piece that I made for the "junk" potluck!

See you there! Kathy

Sue - this is awesome - looks beautiful hanging on your door! (and good idea on the "illusion" of hanging)

What a great gift from Miss Georgia!

Love the re-use of the panty hose...!!

Kathy

P.S. I have a feeling that any "thank-you" cards we receive (for these awesome gifts) - will be accompanied by a challenge befitting these acts of "generosity"!

I guess I could go with Jim's hint and say I bet it's one of those thingies that puts lines down on a football field (or some kind of field...) - but just for fun - let's say it's a hand-operated snow making machine...(And you know you could use one of those in Minne-snowta!!)

Anyway...Sue - you've got some great stuff to work with - and the umbrella may be a challenge - so, if you need help - we'll be there next week for some brainstorming! :)

See ya, Kathy

Janis - what a sweet little flower bed you created! Can't wait to see it in full bloom!

Love it!

Kathy

P.S. How did your sale go???

Like everybody else said...clever, cute (or like alice said...gosh darn cute - I love that!! :) - and you put it all together so well - great job!

Such a unique chalkboard!

Thanks for sharing with us.

Kathy

Fjerda - great idea!! Will tuck a little something into a corner! :) (Will check your blog, and post a link on mine.)

See you there!

Kathy

This is the greatest idea!!! Lots of space for little ones' imagination - AND easy clean-up too!

Way to go!

Kathy

I bet the junk is flying out of your yard about now!!! :)

(Making room for lots more!!)

Kathy

Jenny - Oh man...not a "shock" to me - or anyone else I'm sure...it's another AWESOME clock - love the bit of rustiness & vintagey green - and the pieces and parts you put together!

And, when you want to lose track of time -just shut the door! Sweet!!!!

Kathy

Suzie7 - first...welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! You'll find lots of ideas here for sure...our junker brains don't ever seem to rest! :)

Second...what an awesome piece of furniture. For placement, it looks like it could sit on the floor, hang on the wall, or maybe sit up on a cabinet or table (like a small farmhouse table...).

As far as what to put in it...like others have said it could be functional - in the kitchen or a craft area (that's where it would be in my house...ha ha) to organize. And, like audlyenuf said - boxes or baskets with labels or tags so you don't forget what you've organized - for me, if it's out of sight...it's definitely out of mind.

I think a mix of a collection of things would be cool - seashells, bottles, and just random old stuff - not necessarily in every cubby - that would keep it to a less cluttered look.

It'd be great in a child's room too - they'd have lots of "little things" to stow away. And, how cool would it be in an entry??? Anyway, I got a little carried away - it IS just such an awesome piece! Hoping to see pics of what you do with it!!

Kathy

What a fun idea! I love buttons too!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Again - beautiful painting! I love the tin and teakettle (the "raggedy" handle is a nice touch!!).

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

These are so sweet! Harvest Blessings is my fav!!

Kathy

P.S. Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style - looking forward to more of your painted creations!

You've given those pieces wonderful new lives! They're beautiful - love your painting!!

Kathy

gailmarie - Can't wait to see what you make with the strainer (I have the stand and the wooden thingie that goes with it...) - hope you didn't get "junk overload" looking at all my stuff... :)

Kenda - you're definitely not the only one with lots of junk (it makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one too!!).

Sue - I knew you couldn't keep your eyes off this post...! You only have to wait two more weeks (from today)! :)

LadyCatherine (love your name!) - What a great story about your typewriter - thanks for sharing.

Fjerda - Are you going to be at Oronoco? I might be able to bring a little something for the auction(if we have room in the van)...

Take care all! And thanks for sharing in the fun!

Kathy

Alice...great finds! I love the red can caddy - that'll be fun to use! And metal stools are one of my favorite things!

gailmarie- I know what you mean - I went to a sale last week that was advertised as a neighborhood sale (and you know how excited we get when we see those kinds of sales - LOL)...well, the neighborhood must have put all their stuff at one house - that's all there was! But fortunately...there is enough good junk out there...that a little misadvertisement doesn't stop us, does it??? On to the next sale...and the next...! :)

Thanks for sharing, Alice!!

Kathy

Thanks you guys! Making the appropopriate "selections" is proving to be a real challenge for me...too much to pick from??...I think that would be a "yes"! But, I've got a couple things in a box (Candy, I promise we won't have to strap anything to the top of your van!!!).

And, Candy...way too funny - I see lots of laughing going on during our road trip (hope we don't miss any exits...).

Jim...the round thing would make a great lamp!! - and if anyone could do it...well - I don't need to say who that might be! :)

alicemom - Terri and I will be at the Springfield Extravaganza in September - but I probably won't be having another garage sale till next year.

Kimberly - I really need to learn to part with more of my junk (or get really busy and work on my projects...yep - that would be the best choice - time to get to work/play! :)

Kathy

P.S. For more of my thoughts on Sue's challenge - you can check out my blog... www.sylviasdaughter.blogspot.com - some clues...oh yeah! :)

This is a fun piece - and (like RustyDiva said) no maintenance is a bonus!! :)

You've done an amazing job! Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

This is a wonderful piece! What a great buy and you've found a perfect use for it too!

I just love it!

Kathy

Jim - fantastic lamp - rustic and vintage --- such a perfect mix! If I had a cabin, I'd want a lamp JUST like that!

Love it!!! Kathy

Great save - I bet a lot of those don't get rescued - because people don't see the potential - you did and it turned out awesome!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Love your collection of old tools AND welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Looks like your love of rust will fit right in!!! :)

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

How cute! I like the aprons - and very clever idea with the Dick and Jane border!

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

Everything goes better with Coke!!!(I think that's how it went...) - and your husband's barn is no exception - they're great together!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a great sign - and I love the "working for junk" system - I'd do it in a minute!!

Kathy

What a great table - those pieces and parts came together perfectly!

Kathy

Your chairs are awesome! Love the color.

Thanks for sharing,

Kathy

You get an A+ on your first post!! This is a fun idea - great job - and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Thanks everybody! Hoping to see some of your mosaic projects posted soon!

eveh - I looked at your bowling ball covered in pennies - it's very cool!

Barbara - thanks for the hint about coloring the grout - I'll have to try that.

Connie - have you tried tile adhesive? I think that should hold the pieces in place for you...let me know.

Kathy

I love it! Very nicely done - you and your hubby make a great team!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Nice job - chairs make such great planters!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Great saves! Lucky you - free junk is the very best!! Can't wait to see what you create!

I wish our town had trash clean up days...I'd be cleaning up the streets for sure!

Kathy

What great treasures - collected and arranged with love!!! The stories on each piece are special - thanks so much for sharing with us.

The hutch is awesome, and I love the house on top of it!

Kathy

Candy, Candy, Candy - simply sweet and useful! So clever - your project and your commentary! And, even the deer want to see it up close and personal!

One of my favorites too!!

Kathy

P.S. Love the tip on the hosta leaves!

Sue...it looks like you'll be making room for lots more great junk, right?? (oh, yeah..and for some guests as well??!)

I love all your individual "departments" - I did the same thing at my garage sale (I didn't have "quite" as much cool junk as you, but did the best with the junk that I had - ha ha) - and people came in and made comments about how they felt like they were walking into a store - just can't stop, can we??)

Wishing you lots of junk success!!!

Kathy

P.S. Candy and I will have to check out any "leftovers"! :)

Welcome to JunkMarket Style new2nc69!! Your window is beautiful and so creative. I love the vivid colors - and what a perfect way to bring new life to landfill materials!!

Well done - and I'm looking forward to more of your beautiful projects too!

Kathy

A prize??? Well...Candy and I will be cooking something up for sure! :)

Kathy

Janis - this is all so pretty - so fresh and welcoming!! I love the individual tarts you used for each guest - with your signature "bling" and simple elegance!

Would love to come to a party at your house too!! :)

And, great to see you too my friend!

Take care, Kathy

Candy...14 hours? I was thinking it was just a "hop, skip and a jump"... Ha ha - it'll be well worth the drive for those famous ice cream sandwiches, right? Oh yeah...and lots of great junk...AND best of all - meeting our friends from here and "blog land"!

I know Sue has fun planned for us (there's an itinerary :) - but no where on there does it actually say "sleep" - for sure not in a campground, right Lani?? :)

We're definitely counting down...

Janis & Geo - wishing you were going to be there!

Kathy

Welcome SalvagingAngel! So glad you found us!

Candy's post is really helpful - lots of input from others too on what they've tried...etc...

Can't wait to see your junk creations!

Kathy

I'll say it again... FIVE BUCKS?? You hit the jackpot on this..or, I should say you "cleaned up"!

Very cool and I love it as a planter!

Kathy

So beautiful and so totally clever of you! It does look too pretty to walk on - but how nice that you can!! :)

Kathy

Cheryl - we're going to have a blast meeting everyone AND hopefully a lot of JunkMarket Style members...Also, can't wait to see the demo - I want some pink tools!!

Amy - I know you're going to be the perfect hostess!!

Amy's got details on her blog...www.junkologie.blogspot.com

Kathy

P.S. Can't wait for the junk potluck! :)

Miss Lani...everything is so perfect in black and white - and like I said on your blog...the age and character of the accessories make it such a soothing combination! And a great setting to pop in a little color here and there if you want to too...

I love the motel chairs - your "married" hutch, and who doesn't love some polka dots?

Beautiful my friend!

Kathy

Another great save. All your hard work really paid off - it's a beautiful piece!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Fabulous save! And like every else said - what a lucky lady you are!! (time to buy a lottery ticket?? ha ha).

It looks great in your home - congrats!

Kathy

What a fun piece - love the old graphics and you gave it the perfect "new life"! And it has such a cute name "Wiry Joe".

Great job Jenny!

Kathy

Love your LITTLE blue bug - he may be small...but he's BIG on character!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Welcome to Junkmarket Style! These little guys have us all buzzing! So cute and creative!

Looking forward to more of your projects.

Kathy

What a cutie! Very clever - thanks for sharing with us!

Kathy

Welcome to JunkMarket Style - so glad you've joined in!

I love the paper pattern roses - they are so sweet! And like Candy said, I can see them at a bridal shower or reception.

Your vintage pedestals are nice and so versatile.

Thanks for sharing - looking forward to more posts from you.

Kathy

Well...Sue! This is all just sweeter than Candy...! :)

I love the luggage tags (it's a name tag AND a napkin ring - very fashioinably cool), the vase (reminds me of my Doris Day carafe), and the cartoon "wrapping" paper...it's ALL just fun!

Books can definitely provide some great material to work with. All of your projects are just so clever - and of course the dialogue and photos are too entertaining!

You've done it again!

Kathy

Stellaluna,

Here are some thoughts (I'm sure others have some tips too - please share!!! We can all use a little help from our friends!!)

Breaking: I put my plate, tile, etc.. in a box wrapped in a towel (so, in breaking, pieces don’t fly…). (And, check it each time you hit it - to maybe pull out pieces that are the size you want...). If you want the piece/design to stay intact, (before breaking) I’d cover the back side with masking or duct tape to hold the pieces together, so you’re not trying to figure out what goes where…(or even take a picture of it before breaking). (Be sure to wear safety glasses when breaking and/or using tile snips.)

Some basic supplies:

Gloves (use when breaking glass)
Safety glasses (use when breaking glass)
Hammer
-Tile snips (for plates or tile) (can be used to cut in more uniform pieces – try this on a practice piece to see how it works. I cover the piece with a cloth while I'm cutting it.)
-Tile adhesive (to put the pieces in place prior to grouting)
-Tile grout (sanded) (this can also be used as the adhesive instead of tile adhesive)
-Grout sealant (optional)
-File (to file down sharp edges – if necessary)

Tips:

You can lay your pieces out on the tabletop (or whatever surface you choose), and use the grout and/or adhesive to stick pieces in place…allow to dry, and then start filling spaces with grout.

After applying grout, be sure to wipe tile/pieces with a damp cloth before grout dries on surface (follow directions on container).

If you’re doing a bowling ball – be sure to clean the surface well (to get rid of oil from the bowling alley – if it was in the gutter a lot – like mine is...there will be more oil on the surface - haha) – I use soap and water, and then rubbing alcohol - you could even sand it a bit.

To work on it, I place it on a stand of some sort (I have a metal candle stand that I use - for a large candle.) – this will help hold it in place. I also put a towel over the stand (provides a bit of a cushion for it to rest on – it helps protect the pieces that you’ve already adhered to the surface as you turn it.). Allow an area to dry well (I let mine sit overnight) – and then you can move it to begin on a new area. This process takes a few days – if you move it too soon, pieces will slide and/or fall off. (Again, be sure to clean the grout off the surface of your tiles with a damp cloth after its “set up” a bit.)

Good luck with your mosaic - hope to see it in a future post!

Kathy

Thanks for your comments!

Jim - if you send broken plates, no need to mark the package "fragile" - the damage has already been done, right? :)

Janis...I wish you were going to be there too!!! We'll work it out one of these days (promise!!)

Thanks LuAnn - I'm thrilled to be a part of this very talented group!

Gretchen - I'm looking forward to seeing your "beach" ball!!

Take care all!

Kathy

See Sue - there's nothing to be nervous about, because of all the people I know - I'm positive that you're up to about any junk challenge thrown at you (don't take that literally)... I just know everyone will be ever so kind and thoughtful in their junk selections - only the best for you - promise!! ;)

I also know that in the future, I will be very careful about suggestions I make - because the old saying of "what goes around comes around" is a very true statement - especially when you're talking junk!


Kathy

P.S. I'll be delivering mine in a van!

Midge, Midge, Midge - I love your inner tube welcome wreath/message board creation! It's just too much fun, and I love how you can change it out for different messages - very ingenius my friend!! (And for the fisherman...don't forget "gone fishing") I should do one of these for my deck.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Kathy

What a great garden totem - and anything that sparkles definitely catches my eye!! These are such fun pieces to make - each one is unique.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Amazing! You've definitely brought the beach into your home in a very creative way - I love it!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Your budget-friendly wedding decorations are just priceless!! The block cake topper is so sweet - and your thrift store lighting is very elegant! I'm sure everyone was in awe...

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a great project! I've got quite a few of the clear/blue ones - ceramic ones must be harder to come by. They look awesome and are so multi-functional!!

I need a hole saw...adding that to my list!

Kathy

WOW (again...)!!! What a fabulous paint job - I had to look close too!!

These are such fun!

Kathy

audleyenuf (love your name)! I love your bowling ball creations (I've done some too) - my favorite is the seashell ball - but, I love what you did with the first one - very fun and a nice paint technique.

Welcome and thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Marie - your table is fantastic and a perfect way to show off special treasures! What a cheery porch you have - and a fun collection of "junk" on display! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Welcome to Junkmarket Style - what a great first project and post!!! The table is awesome - great save. And...I LOVE the brick flower frog - such a simple idea and just super cool!!

Thanks for sharing - looking forward to more!

Kathy

Alice - what a sweet thing to do - and so much thought that you put into it! What a creative and special piece!

All the members here are inspiring in their own way and continue to amaze me everyday! Sue's definitely brought together a wonderful nation of junkers - and it's grown into the perfect place to share the "junk" we love!

Thanks for sharing your special gift for Sue with us! Hugs to you!!!

Kathy

Marie - what an awesome find, and using it on your deck was one "bright" idea!! It is so cool!

I guess we all have gotten those looks from our husbands...but, you're right Candy - afer a while they start to get it! :)

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Simply sweet! Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Welcome Grasshopper! Sweet ladder you've reused for your flowers! Sue, you're right - ladders, doors, windows, shutters (and I'll add stools and chairs and mirrors - haha!!) - you can never have too many!! :)

Can't wait to see more of your projecs - thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Gretchen - I saw this on your blog... Love it all! So peaceful, creative and beautiful! The photos alone are so soothing, I can only imagine how much more so it is in real life - what a special place to be able to visit and relax.

The plaque that you found in memory of your Mom is really touching, and your flowers are so beautiful.

I remember you talking about the dumpster diving you did for the granite stones - :) - lots of hard work - and it's turned out (and aging) wonderfully!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Great save - and what a wonderful paint job! It's beautiful!

Kathy

Woe is me.... ;)

Jenny - Absolutely fabulous!! Love the old numbers and how you arranged them - you've definitely done it again!

Thanks for sharing - it's always inspiring!

Take care, Kathy

P.S.(hope you're feeling better!)

Thanks everybody! My favorite is the "beach ball" (and the easiest one to do too).

Candy...Terri isn't posting yet... Will see what I can do! ;)

Midge - it's definitely time to get out the grout! (and save your toes!) (And, Alice - yep - another "reason" to pick up more shells on vacation!!)

Lani - throwing plates at your hubby??? Well, that's one way to break them! ha ha!!

AND...garage sale update: (drum roll)...I made my road trip money! Woo hoo!!

You guys are the best and I really appreciate your comments!! Thanks, again! Kathy

Candy - great tips my friend! Re-sizing took me a while to figure out. I use Photoshop Elements, and it's pretty simple. Also, haven't used the setting on my camera - but I know it's there - will have to see how that works too.

On my blog I don't seem to be able to upload pictures that can be clicked on and enlarged...not sure what I'm doing (and/or not doing) there...just part of my learning curve! :)

Good luck all - and can't wait to see your pics/posts!!

Kathy

What a fun clock - love the vintage colors!

Great job!

Kathy

I love it all! The tiny fairy lamp display is super sweet, and I think the croquet balls add some great color and lots of fun to your garden!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great job! And I love your color choices!

Kathy

Very sweet - and what a beautiful and practical reuse of the cheese box!

Kathy

Your display is beautiful (you've got a great collection of platters) - I love the old garden fence - very sweet!!!

Kathy

I love rusty old bedsprings - and your display is simply inspiring! :)

Kathy

Great reuse for your tennis racket! I'm sure it will sell right away!

Kathy

Very nice - I love how you painted it! Old floor lamps are the greatest - so much character!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Jenny, What a perfect showplace for all your creations! Looks like you all make a great team (and hoping you're feeling better too)! It's all amazing - your famous table with the vintage type, and I really like your water feature too! I'm sure it was a huge success!!

Three cheers for you three ladies!!!

Kathy

I love how you mixed the fabrics - what a fantastic makeover!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Tabitha - your trunk looks great...now you've got a new place to garden/decorate! (You can never have too many!)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Geo - so glad your sale went well...(you all have worked so hard) - Congrats!!!

You're definitely missed - but you've had big stuff going on. After looking at all of your pictures - you had LOTS of wonderful things (and displayed so beautifully).

The wrought iron fence is awesome - and would make a wonderful postcard!

Take care,

Kathy

Amy - what a very cool "chic industrial" lamp you've created - and it looks picture perfect in your entry.

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Candy...love your displays - and LOVE all the shells - I've got quite a few myself (just trying to bring a bit of the beach to Ohio, right??!!).

Awesome photos as always, showing off your casual elegant style! Nice work my friend!!

Kathy

I know it'll be a HUGE success - who could pass up all that great junk (not me)???

Just for the record - when you can write complete sentences in "junk"...it's definitely time for a sale! :) Love it!!! (And a perfect way to make room for more..................)

Take care, my friend!

Kathy

Welcome to the site - and congrats on your first post! You brought a new and elegant life to your mail caddy - love the clothes pins on the sides for little "extras".

I ran out to Hobby Lobby yesterday and bought some rub-ons - thought I'd give it a try! Along with your project, there are some fun things being done with rub-ons here (Janis, etc...). Such a simple embellishment that adds so much!

Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see your next post!

Kathy

What a great potting bench! The old door is awesome and has been given a wonderful new life!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Sue - LOVE IT! What a handy dandy coat hanger you came up with - AND it's got a huge coolness factor too!

And of course your narrative puts it off the chart...

Kathy

Janis, what a lovely and elegant outdoor chandelier you created! Love your curtained deck area - it looks so relaxing!

Wishing you a happy, happy birthday!

Kathy

Sue - you've given those trays more lives than a cat! Ha ha!! Love all your re-uses...or in-house recycling! Especially the desk organizer - you could add a few more levels to store even more office-y goodies (or crafting/scrapbooking) -I love it!! Also love them being used as shelves - a nice clean look too!

Simply divine!! (And great photography as always!)

Kathy

P.S. I'm sure the kids don't mind...especially if there's food involved! :)

Grrrrrreat job, Reece! What an awesome Father's Day gift!

Can't wait to see your next creation!

Kathy

So sweet - great save and perfect choice of fabric!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a creative way to disguise that tank! I'm sure it puts a smile on everyone's face - and makes them really hungry for some watermelon!

Great job and thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Tabitha - great job - old knobs are very cool - and lots of things you can do with them!

Yep - once you start working with junk - it's a sickness that can't be cured - but that's a good thing!! :)

Congrats and keep up the good work.

Kathy

P.S. Christy...I know what you mean...finished is a wonderful word - and isn't used enough for my liking (at my house) either! :)

What a creative and fun idea! I'd like to do something like that in our garage (and just happen to have a stack...).

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Dee - great metal flowers - and they will age so nicely in the garden too!

Thanks for sharing & welcome to JunkMarket Style!

Kathy

Sue - I'm a little late (hope everyone had a great 4th), but love your florals - and the bag is awesome too!

Geo - Hope you had a productive weekend getting ready for your big sale!! I know it's going to be a HUGE success!

Take care,

Kathy

Jim - What an awesome light! Those pieces go together perfectly - and what great colors and patina (as always!!).

Great fleamarket finds - you've done it again!

Kathy

Great job Gio!! Happy 4th to you - have a fun weekend! Hope to talk to you soon.

Kathy

Lani - your numbers are so awesome - and the way you have them displayed in unexpected, fun ways is so creative! Love your junk style - thanks for sharing your home with us!

Kathy

Love it - you gave that little dresser a wonderful 2nd life!! And, it fits into your garden so perfectly! Great save!

Thanks for sharing. Kathy

Sue - great project! And you didn't have to try to drill through the glass - when I first saw the picture I thought that's what you had done - thank goodness for Gorilla Glue, right??

Another wonderful/creative addition to your party "line" of projects... :)

Bravo!

Kathy

Such a thoughtful, creative gift for your teacher, Reece! Great job!

And...how lucky for him to have such a talented junk art teacher - our own JennyK!!! What a wonderful gift you're sharing with Reece!

Can't wait to see pics from your junking expedition - a boy in a junkyard - sounds like heaven for him for sure!! :)

Take care, Kathy

These are both super sweet projects! Your granddaughter is one lucky little princess! Beautiful paint job on the bench, and love the pink on the playhouse.

Kathy

I love it too! Great repurpose - and the bed post legs are a perfect addition!

I paint most everything white, but love the black finish on your entry table! :)

Thanks for sharing, Kathy

Great idea - and so much prettier than the original packaging! The Scrabble letters will be icing on the cake!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Hi Tabitha, and welcome to JunkMarket Style!

Will the trunk be in a protected area like a porch or deck? I might just line it with some kind of vinyl or plastic (maybe a vinyl tablecloth with a print to it, or at least a color that's better than black plastic) - you should be able to staple it in place, and then put some different containers of plants in the trunk - then you could easily water or change the plants, move the trunk, etc... If you have a few small containers you could set a small table or stand inside and arrange your planters around it (for some heighth).

That's a great piece for "planting"! Good luck and please share the finished project!

Take care, Kathy

Sue - looks like I'm the first to "weigh in"! I love that you used the scale for a much more fun and functional use than that "other" use! It looks great in your bathroom and makes everything so convenient to get to. (And, love the color combo...pink, black, white, and the perfect little touch of "rust"!.)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Lani - Your garden junk is all absolutely wonderfully fabulous!! From your beautiful front porch - the park bench, fan collection (very cool), chairs, etc.... to all your great containers for your planters - it's breathtaking!

You DO have such a knack for putting things together - and like Janis said - it should be in a magazine!

Thanks for sharing, and I'll defnitely have to check out your blog for more pics!

Kathy

Great idea and what fun pics of your kids!

Thanks again everybody - and so glad you enjoyed your junky stroll around my yard!

Our rusted junk has found the perfect spot - our gardens, and it just keeps getting better!

Take care! Kathy

This is awesome! Love how you repurposed the old tins - very cool style - and colors you've put together! And, of course, I love the added bling!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Looks like lots of great stuff! I love the old school lockers - what fun storage!

I bet the happy group was ready to rest at the end of the day!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Gio - I love it (I'm going to build one this summer - at least that's the plan). Yours looks great in your garden, and house the daisies quite nicely too! Will have to stop over soon and see what you're up to!

Take care and thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Janis - super sweet! Your married pieces are matches "made in heaven"! :)

Love them!

Kathy

RustyDiva - Congrats on the camera and your first post! Great pics - cute centerpiece and I LOVE the old fireplace insert - what a wonderful piece!

Looking forward to more great stuff from you!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

They're all beautiful! Very nice work. My favorite is the shabby chic-ish one!

Welcome to JunkMarket Style and thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Ingenious! Love its new use - and it's now sooo energy efficient, right?? :)

What a fun planter!

Thanks for sharing with us!

Kathy

All that great junk so used so creatively is sooo appetizing! What fun you must have had. I've been wanting to have my girlfriends over...and would love to use some of my "junk" too!

Love the candleholders...the cooler...and of course the placecard holders...just junkingly fantastic!

Jenny & Melissa did such a wonderful job...have they ever thought of catering? :)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great chandelier! And what a pretty setting. Congrats to your new grad!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a peaceful setting - I think you're going to need more than two chairs though...there may be a few of us!! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Marie, She is too sweet! What a great repurpose for her, and with her little apron, she looks like a working girl!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Thanks for visiting my garden and your comments too! It's so great to have an audience that understands how great junk works in a garden/yard/porch...etc. I'm not sure if all my neighbors do! LOL :)

Bucky is certainly a conversation piece - he isn't allowed in the pool though...too many sharp edges...I guess you could say he's a "fish out of water"...(sorry).

Sue - You won't believe it but I found another scooter this past weekend (exactly the same - just not faded - it's a nice vintage red - should I hold it for you??).

Dana - I'm sure there are quite a few husbands who think we're a bit nuts (mine is one of them, but he's used to me).

RustyDiva - Can't wait to see your pics!!

Gretchen - the rusty, bluish planter is my favorite. I've got some little glass-topped sidetables that match too.

Thanks again everybody - and if you want to see the rest...be sure to check my blog (yep, there's more!!) :)

Kathy

You've made some great stuff! I love the ruler/bingo wall hanging too!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great garden totems - a perfect way to brighten up a summertime garden!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Hey LuAnn! Love your planter! I may have to make one too...but with license plates from the "Buckeye State"! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Oh man...I love community sales - if it wasn't such a long drive.............. Good luck and have fun (and sell lots)!!! So, do you have to move into bigger "digs" to save up more junk?? ;)

Kathy

What a great piece, and lots of possibilities for display!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Great idea, and what fun finds!

Love rust and flowers! Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

A great collection - I think cloches (of all sizes, shapes, etc.) are a popular "top 10" in the junking world! We've all got a few... :)

Thanks for sharing - very nice display!

Kathy

Christy, I love this (and the color you chose for the base is just right for your garden setting). This is a piece that will last forever, and definitely won't blow over in the wind!

Great job!

Kathy

P.S. I've heard those comments before (or gotten the look when I leave the thrift store with a piece of "junk")...but, those people should see the finished product,right?? :) They'd be amazed!

Good luck to you all! Can't wait to see more pics!

Kathy

Great re-use! It's cute, and keeps important things (like reading glasses) handy!

Thanks for sharing and welcome to JunkMarket Style!

Kathy

Sue - like they said...love the white and green - the plant stand and planters are as fresh looking as the plants! Great look, and sooo practical! You've done it again!

Bet you can't wait to start enjoying the bounty of your little garden!

Love it, kathy

Thanks for the comments everybody! It looks like we're all open to a little lunchtime junking! :) I hit the thrift stores once a week too (at lunchtime).

Gretchen - We'd have to share the "S" spoons - you could have one and I'll take one! :)

And, Jim - yep - it's a sickness - with no known cure (thankfully) LOL!

I went to some sales on Friday (on the way back from an out of town furniture delivery..and we found almost nothing...go figure!), and then on Saturday - found a van load (a neighborhood sale - love those!). So, our junking definitely has its off days - but plenty of good ones to make up for it!

Take care, Kathy

Lani - what a wonderful tribute to your Dad! I'm sure you make him very proud!! The wall piece you created is so unique and very cool. It goes so well with your microphone collection (love those!!)

A very special piece - thanks for sharing! (And, I still love the guardrail...) :)

Take care and have a great weekend!

Kathy

Glad you're all enjoying your virtual trip on my little lunchtime "junket"! There was definitely plenty of stuff to go around (and around)...

RustyDiva - My personal choice for a career would definitely be a personal junk shopper (where should I send my resume?) :) ---- I could do this every day! (Does that sound extreme?? Nah - you guys understand!)

Geo - the wooden file cabinet was very cool...and it was a steal! And you're right about hidden treasure, there were boxes stacked under the tables that you couldn't even get to (so, I may have to go back Saturday when things have thinned out a bit!).

Hey LuAnn...I told you it was great stuff! :)

There is definitely great junk in Ohio! (and I mean that in a very positive way!) ha ha

Kathy

She's beautiful! Love the layers and textures. Very creative! She's definitely the belle of the ball! I bet she loves her new home too - where she can be adored by everyone who walks in!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a lucky bride! I looked back on your other post (Janis...May 23rd) :) - such creative ideas and you included lots of great junk in such a simple and elegant way.

Love the typewriter and the wheelbarrow (blue...how cool!)

Take care, Kathy

Somehow I missed this - what a beautiful job you did with your daughter's wedding! Love the junk, the contrast of the colors against the junk, and your style! (oh...and the junk!)

The mason jars look great!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Janis - these are all tooooo sweet! Love your elegant baby style.

The lettering really adds to each piece (love the "bunny hugs") - and of course the little bit of "bling" is your signature!

The old baby shoes are cute - might have to get my daughter's out and do something fun with them!

Beautiful, my friend!!

Kathy

I LOVE THIS and the reason behind doing it all - what a wonderful work, and I'm sure the new residents will feel the love that was put into it as well!

Will check out your site too... Giving of yourself is so important, and not always easy to do - so congrats to all of you!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

How sweet! What a great imagination, and such a fun "small world" you created!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

It is "gadorable"! Great redo of the table - love the paint technique you used, and the paper is awesome as well!

You gave it a great second life!

Kathy

What a great job you did in giving those chairs a new life! Hoping you raise lots of money!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Love your photos - what a wonderful place to find on your drive - and these kinds of places are definitely inspirational...it's really picture perfect!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Jenny - YOU ARE A GREAT GAL AND SO TALENTED!! Love these - the positive thoughts and the patina of the pieces - it's music to my eyes!! :)

You've done it again!!

Kathy

Krista - Such a wonderful and fresh transformation (and I think white paint is just "magic in a can" anyway!). Welcome to the site - an awesome place to get ideas and share too... Looking forward to more posts from you!

Take care, Kathy

P.S. That was a great investment of $100!!

Doris and I thank you!;)

Sue came up with such a fun challenge - and this junking stuff is all about fun!!! So glad you all liked my projects (but trust me...I'm leaving the singing to Doris!) LOL

doggbo - Hope to see your project too!

Take care, Kathy

P.S. Thank you to my fellow-Buckeye junker, Candy, for the help getting started and the inspiration for my flowers! :)

Yep - a great save and perfect reuse! I love fun container plantings!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a fun and easy project - great save & repurpose!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Jim - this is so cool - it looks like soda pop heaven for sure! You've done these vintage beverages proud - your pics and display are amazing (as always!!).

Yikes - can you imagine soda (or pop as we say in Ohio...) tasting like a potato?? You may have the only one ever sold!! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

LuAnn, I love your garden totems - colorful and fun. They would help to add some color when things aren't in bloom.

Thanks for sharing, my friend!

Kathy

Geo - your hard work and persistence (and a little help from your friend...) - paid off! Congrats - nice green style - great pics and story!

Thanks for sharing with us (the good, the bad and the ugly of your project) - it turned out very cool! :)

Kathy

Jenny - awesome piece!! And...10 pounds of keys - wow!! Lots of history in those - and lots of possibilities for you!You've done a beautiful job as always - in your artwork and in the thought behind it!

Kathy

What a great sale - looks like lots of awesome things to pick from! If I lived in MN, I'd be hitting those "occasional" sales "all" the time!!

Kathy

Sue - this is pure movie genius! I love it - and it all fit so perfectly together! Love the little bud vase, and of course the insulator feet are too sweet!

Looks like it's party time for sure - and movie nite too??

Kathy

Thanks so much everybody - Doris was definitely an inspiration for fun!! (Junkology101 - I'm listening to Doris right now - thanks for the site! - and love the "pillow talk" idea too!)

Sharon - another Buckeye! :) We definitely need to round up these Ohio junkers one of these days!!

Have a great weekend! Kathy

P.S. Gonna see if I can find a DD movie to watch!

Jenny - You "rock around the clock" on this one! Love your clock and the little stand too! :)

Also - great tip on taking a battery along while used clock shopping!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Andrea - how sweet! I love your repurpose, and the memory of your grandma!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Too much fun! I remember there was a putt-putt golf course that used to rent those when I was a kid - we had huge fun!!! Thanks for the memory and be safe out there!!

What a great find - you're one really lucky junker that's for sure!

Kathy

Oh my gosh - that's "oh my gosh" wonderful! What a special find and you put it to use perfectly!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Rachel - nice job - your friend is so lucky to have a good friend like you! Looks like a wonderful shop!

Kathy

I love chalkboard paint - and you put it to great use here! Very cool!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Amy - great ideas, beautiful photography & love your 50s theme! My favs...the cloche and the "yummy" chippy letters! When is your diner's grand opening? :)

Kathy

Sue...love the fresh vintage look! The bottles are great - and "clearly" perfect for some colorful daisies! Hmmm...vintage stencils - how fun!

Great pics as always!!

Kathy

Those are my kind of sales! We have one in Ohio too (the Lincoln Highway Buyway - across the entire state)...in August - can't wait! I LOVE the chair too...hope you're able to get it!

Don't ya just love this time of year? :)

Kathy

Cute! I love pincushions - and have done a few too! :)

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Janis - have I ever told you how much I love your simple, elegant style??? Well...telling you again! Your planters are wonderful! Love a little bit of glitz!!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Jenny - simply fabulous!! I love lavender (my favorite!)...such a wonderful relaxing scent - and the patina of the piece that you've set it in is awesome!

Love it! Kathy

Sue - you rocked and really know how to "throw a garage sale"! Loved the merchandising, and the "dressing room" was totally cool! And, the "free" stuff - great tip! Because, everybody LOVES free! This is getting me inspired to drag some stuff up from my basement - I really need to have a garage sale!

You're a natural! Looking forward to your next "gig"!

Safe travels home and can't wait to see more "junk"!

Kathy

Alice - good walking shoes are a must! Hope to see you!!!

AND....I'm so excited (and surprised...didn't know she was "lurking") - I'd like to introduce firsttimejunker (aka Sara) - my sis-in-law! Guess this junking thing is contagious! Now you're definitely going to have to come up with something to share with us...(no pressure!) - and we definitely need to set aside some time for some sisterly junking! :) Hugs!

Kathy

Jim - what a great deal! All you had to do was add the flowers - it looks great!

My neighbor was going to take one to the dump (like yours...rusty, with holes, etc...) - but, he knew I was a "bit" of a junk collector - and asked me if I wanted it (of course "yes" was my answer) - it now resides in my garden filled with flowers too!

It's so nice of someone else to age these pieces so we can enjoy them in their repurposed life!!

Kathy

That was made to hold candles - it just didn't know it until now!! Great job, and I bet it smells divine!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Great cabinet - and love the use of the chicken wire! Fun stuff to display too!

Kathy

A "belated" welcome to JunkMarket Style - and a "belated" "WOW" - great table you made from your door - and accidents can be good things - definitely good in this one! The finish is perfectly suited for the table!

Thanks for sharing with us!

Kathy

Great job! And so useful too. Love the fabrics you chose!

Kathy

Good junk luck tomorrow! We'll be watching...and then going out garage sale-ing!!! :)

Sue, what a very "smart" redo of Elizabeth's study nook (and you did it while she was gone - what a great surprise!!) Love the colors too - and the vintage barber dish is very cool!

I had big fun helping my daughter decorate when she went away to college (I know about the moving away thing...sometimes a sore subject with us Moms...) - but after graduation she moved to the east coast (smaller space)...now I've got a lot of it in my basement "in storage"! ha ha

Take care! Kathy

Very cool! The color is awesome and suits the piece perfectly - great pics too!

Kathy

Thanks Lani! And I would LOVE it if you visited us in the fall!!! (and...maybe we could have dinner AND visit the Goodwill too?!??!)

Kathy

Great redo! I love the shell lamp base - that's beautiful!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Jenny - those wonderful, creative ideas just "spring" right out at ya don't they??? What a fun piece, and I LOVE the vintage colors. You find the best "junk"!!! Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Kathy

Geo...hey girl - you got-r-done!! And, I know I probably sound like a "broken record" (ha ha), but the tray table is super cool and very clever!

Love your lamp - you have done the "lamp of the month club" proud!! Go girl!!

Kathy

Trey - your adirondack chair IS wonderful! Great design, reuse, and thought - you should be very proud! I'm looking forward to more of your creations - hope you'll share with us.

Best wishes on your studies in interior design!

Kathy

Midge...You're just way too clever! You can now accept your diploma in "junkological studies"! :)

(They do grow up too fast, don't they???)

Thanks for sharing and congrats on graduation - it couldn't be done without the parents!!

Kathy

Very creative reuse! Can't wait to see pics of how "your garden grows"...

Kathy

Great reuse for the headboard - and love the "red" - it goes perfectly with your red door! What a cheery, welcoming home you have!

Thanks for sharing,

Kathy

Cute and fast - great combination! My friends and I went to the 127 sale four years ago...we're planning a "reunion" trip next year! Too much fun!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a fun space and fun commentary! (and what a great landlord for letting you use your creativity there)! You've thought of everything for a relaxing retreat for you and your dogs! :)

Thanks for sharing with us!

Kathy

P.S. A cottage home...sounds divine!

Love it! Yours would definitely be great inside or outside - simple elegant look!

Well done!

Kathy

Fun idea! And, your theme works perfectly with it! (I wore one of those "once upon the 70s..." - ha ha!!)

Kathy

Just wonderful! I love the look - your hard work was well worth it!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Love those trays (I think we all have a couple, don't we?? ha ha). Great reuse!

Kathy

This is SUPER sweet! What a great job, and you'll have so much filling it up with plants and such! I want to do a smaller version in my backyard too - this one is inspiring!! Will check out that website too! Be sure to share pics of the finished greenhouse!

Thanks for sharing!!

Kathy

P.S. Welcome to JunkMarket Style!!

Janis - your signature elegant style - beautiful! Love the portfolio idea (it just gave me an idea for something too!). And your 2-tier stand is so sweet (love the little knobs/feet - gotta have some feet for a little waltz, right??)

Well done! Kathy

Thanks all! Glad to take everybody on a "virtual" fleamarket trip...! I'd love to show you all around the show personally (hmmm...a professional fleamarket tour guide...I would SO love that!!) - it's an amazing show!

Geo - we would have a blast, I'm sure!!! (Candy...you too!)

Candy, every time I see metal letters, I'm looking for an "A"! :) (how many do you want??) ha ha

Jim, I laughed out loud when I read your comment about the couch...I put the green monkey there! :) (It was a good contrast...well, maybe not such a contrast, they were both pretty ugly!)

Claudia - we just can't seem to pass up a thrift store...even if we're totally exhausted! (It's a sickness!!) :)

If you want to see more great pics...I put a bunch more "junk" on my blog. (www.sylviasdaughter.blogspot.com)

Kathy

P.S. Have I ever told my junking friends - I just love you all??!! I do!! :)

Suze...will do a little research...stay tuned!

Sue - Congrats! Would love to be one of those people holding a sign in the background (maybe I'll make my daughter get up early that day and do it for me!!). I'm thinking a coast-to-coast garage sale tour is in order (how fun would that be - we have a trailer we could fill!!) - or maybe the Partridge Family would loan us their bus!

My DVR will be set for sure!

Kathy

P.S. Got some great stuff while garage "hopping" (as my father-in-law calls it) yesterday. This is my favorite time of year!

Candy - is that you behind those "Foster Grants"???

Oh BABY - What fantastic projects (and really...I can't get over that resemblence...)!

Your flowers made me smile - too much fun (I'm gonna try that)! Your photo album is super sweet - perfect for your girls' baby pics - very cute!

And a shelf...you've outdone yourself again!

Kathy

Lani - that guardrail is rusty perfection (great vision and repurpose)!! An awesome way to display your kiddos' artwork!

Kathy

Tom, Tom, Tom (I mean Jim...) - Amazing as usual! Loved your project commentary (great way to start my morning!)- and your drawing and pics are outstanding!

Kathy

I'd say the years have been kind to her...(after your great makeover) - She's so cheery - and welcoming!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Love this! Perfect use and how "cool" that you can keep things on ice as well! I'd like to be added to the guest list too!!

Love the photos - let the good ol' summertime begin - Happy Memorial Day!!

Kathy

Too much fun! Would love to pile in with all my girlfriends and cruise the thrift stores in style!!

Kathy

Melissa - that's sweet!!! :) Love it all - well done my friend!!

Kathy

Oooohhhh...so jealous - would love to be there too! The girls have done a fabulous job - there was no doubt about that anyway!! Love the look (and the metal stuff too)!

Great seeing you all together - in deep junk discussion!

Sue - the #4 necklace is so sweet and the meaning behind it too! Does Gretchen have a #9???

Thanks for sharing - do you have a pen permanently attached to your hand?? :)

Kathy

It is a great use of some things that are usually throw-aways or hidden!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Great idea - and perfect placement too! No one can miss the news of the day!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

OldBarnRescue...It's fun how a creation takes on a personality, and a name to go along with it just adds to the charm.

My friend Terri and I have named some of the tools in our workshop...we have a tiny ball-peen hammer that we named "Bertha", our cordless drill is "Raquel"...and we have a mannequin bust that we named "Marilyn" that we display jackets on...silly girl stuff, I guess! :)

Kathy

Great clocks...and great vision. I really love the pot lid - fun color on it too!

Welcome to JunkMarketStyle and can't wait to see more!

Kathy

Jenny - What a wonderful thing to do - and a great way to fuel creativity in a young person! The excitement really comes through in the pictures - Great job, Reece!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Sue - what a great place and event! A great example for all of us - and fun too.

Love the handbags made from ties and the garden spikes. Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

P.S. And, it looked like a beautiful weather day - a bonus, right?

oldtoysrock903 - It did sell on Friday... And another lady came in and saw it, and she said she had seen it on the junkmarketstyle site - good advertising I guess!! :)

Will keep an eye out for the other half (it was probably part of a pair) - ya never know! :)

Kathy

Midge - your piano desk is unbelievable and so original! I love that you could keep the keys intact too...under plexiglass - how cool!

You're definitely right in tune with this project!! Love it!

Kathy

Whew...made it back! And you've all said such nice things (thank you!)...I really have a blast here, and am SO happy to be included in such a talented bunch of junkers! So, will do my best to provide a bit of junk and entertainment too!!

We had an awesome weekend (sold almost everything) - just a little weather issue - a "bit" of wind late Saturday afternoon - I'll just say it involved human tent weights...(but more about that later)...and no...I didn't get a picture of that - my hands were full! ha ha).

Will be sharing the weekend soon - got some very fun pictures!

Sue & Co...would really love to see everyone there in September! There's plenty of great junk to go around (for a few days...)!

Kathy

OK...not sure how that posted twice...but I better go NOW! Sue, if you can delete this (thanks...)...if not, you're stuck with me twice... See ya!

Kathy

P.S. Is there training for contributors?? :)

I'm serious...you all need to be there in September...will book extra rooms!! :)

Janis - thanks...so happy to be contributing with all of you...love being a part of this site!!

junkntrunk...have you made your reservation yet??? (yes...lots of vendors - lots of stuff) :)

Leaving in a few minutes...and, hey, the sun is shining!

Kathy

I wish you all could be there with us - it would be HUGE fun!!! A great place for a junkmarket event...! :)

I've been getting my things around tonite (and trying not to pack too many shoes...that's always an issue...not sure why...) - and packing my projects away safely - time to get some rest...tomorrow's a long day (but, in a good way).

Geo...a "classified" section...cool idea!

Will talk to ya soon!

Kathy

Thanks for all your "groovy" comments!! I know the lamp will find a good home this weekend...

And, thanks Geo...It's just too much fun!! :)

Kathy

Paint is magic, isn't it??? It looks great!

Kathy

Very cute! Love the color and the new reuse!!

Kathy

Very cool - I have one of those too... You gave it a great new life - kind of vintage contemporary! Thanks for sharing and welcome to JunkMarketStyle!

Kathy

Thanks everybody - so glad you all like it! I just love it too - and I'm sure it will sell right away this weekend.

I would normally grab a can of spray paint, but this color was already perfect - and very 70s...and who doesn't love flowers??

I really think it was meant to be a hanging light too...guess it's been waiting for me to rescue it! :)

Kathy

Sue - Bart looks quite content in his new surroundings...considering it's the bathroom - ha ha!! So, it looks like his new profession is bathroom butler - offering you a handtowel when needed! Too cute!

He definitely is a piece that brings a smile!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

P.S. My friend and I name things too...tools in our workshop, etc... we have the tiniest little hammer that we painted robin's egg blue and named "bertha"...too much fun!

That is a wonderful bunch of junk finds! Looks like you'll have lots of fun with it - and the crib is awesome!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Welcome to JunkMarketStyle! Great garden totems, and I love the little angel/garden fairy inside!

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Great little table! I'd hate to part with it too!!

Kathy

Midge - what a great potting bench. I LOVE the rake head being used as a little shelf! Very cool.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

What a fun piece & so functional too! I like the faucet!

Great job!

Kathy

Sue - I love this so much more as a planter (than the hat...)...ha ha!!

Great instructions and pics - this planter has so many possibilities - can't wait to see it change with the seasons!

Kathy

P.S. The softballs add just the right touch of the good ol' summertime!

Candy - what a SWEET Mother's Day you had!! You know your parents are probably thinking (as you're pulling away), "wow, we finally got rid of all that junk", and you're thinking "holy cow...I've got a lot of really cool junk"!!!!!

Too much fun - can't wait to see what you do with it!

Kathy

Well...love the pink - and like Geo said...the little rinsing station - very cool little "guy"! I think Jenny is right - I bet Hollywood would love that!

What an unbelievable find!

Kathy

(any other goodies in your basement??)

Jim - what a junking great gift for your Mom! The flowers and great too! What a good son you are! :)

Sue, spent the day with my Mom and brothers and sister! Lots of laughs (we provide my Mom with entertainment - without even trying...that's what kids do, right?? At any age I think!).

Hope your day was fun too!

Kathy

Janis...with all that junk...the fun just had to follow, right??? :) Wish we could all take one big junking trip - wouldn't that be HUGE fun???

Christy - and the great part is that it doesn't need to have water added (well, unless you wanted to add to the rustiness)!

Eva - the photo of the fence doesn't really do it justice, but I tried!

Thanks ladies!

Kathy

Geo - beautiful display and great stuff! Those little stool/chairs are fun - and that hose reel hiding by the table is very cool! So glad you did so well! Fun, fun, fun!!

Take care, Kathy

Eva - that rusty wheel looks beautiful in its setting - what a great rescue! And, fun to add different things to keep the look fresh.

Great job, Kathy

Eva - great little shelf - and I love the pieces you used in it too! Good to see you back - I know you're having fun looking at all the new stuff - and there's lots!

Take care, Kathy

Gretchen! You've put it all together so perfectly (with a splash of "junk" with your beautiful "bling')! I love the claw foot...rusty patina and all...who would have thought it'd go so well with your beautiful jewelry (us junkers, right??) - cuz we get it!

Very creative display, and I also love how you "slipcovered" the modern display piece with burlap!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Sue - you've done it again!!! Love the look - great colors, so fun and welcoming (and I noticed the "K"...so, yes, I'll accept! :). The cuff on the bottle is ingenious, and I can picture you going through pickle jars at the store...too funny! (Remember, they probably have cameras...it makes for good entertainment I'm sure.)

I think it's going to be crowded at your table...!

Kathy

Love the flutterbyes too! How cool - some fun uses for old records...who would have thought?

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Very cute - I love using old chairs too! It's a great way to give an old chair a new lease on life!

Kathy

Midge - what a fun and great combination of "junk"! I love how you used the fork too - the handles are the best part!

Will have to look for the Salvage Studio book.

Thanks for sharing! Kathy

Shadow - works for dog treats, right??? How cute is he? and what a great story - love getting to know a celebrity!

Kathy

Janis...(fyi - I always click "awesome" before I even look at your post...cuz I know it's going to be!)

And, your mirrors are so sweet - such an elegant touch - I can picture a wall done in mirrors with these mixed in for a bit of bling!

And, the water globe was a great find! Tres chic!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Marie - What a great wind chime - and being virtually indestructible...priceless! (and what guy wouldn't like that??)

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

Very cool - I love it! I like the use of the old pulls for feet too. What a creative way to display some flowers!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

Amy - love this - what a great look - and lots of possibilities for display - I think buttons might be cute on display - all one color, or mixed!

Lots of inspiration in the Junkmarketstyle books!

Thanks for sharing.

Kathy

AtticusFinch - thanks so much for the background on my two little angels - on the back of the larger one it says "sunflower angel" - special edition - 1996; the little one is holding a heart and is stamped 1986. They're very sweet.

Thanks Eileen & Gretchen - Bridget really outdid herself! :)

OK Sue...it's on my "to do" list!!

Kathy

So happy it went SO well for you guys - just knew it would! Tomorrow should just be the icing on the cake! :)

Would love to be able to come to a junkmarket event! And a sleep over? Big fun!

Get some rest girls!!

Kathy

Candy - the chime is so sweet! I bet the girls had fun milking a cow. I got to do that years ago at my aunt's farm...but, I gotta say...once was enough for me! LOL

Have a great weekend!

Kathy

Geo...what great stuff! It looks like you've been working like a crazy woman (that's what we do, isn't it??). I love the fence light - I've got some fencing in my basement just waiting to be converted into one of these. And, I love all those green crystals!!!! I know your show is going to be a huge success!

Thanks for sharing - and can't wait to see pics of your space.

Kathy

P.S. About the conservatory - really nicely decorated...just think of this one as "baby steps"...you'll build one of your own and it'll be fabulous!

This is my third swap - it's so much fun - the giving and receiving!! And another way to get to know fellow junkers...

There's one every few months or so - so, Rachel will probably put out a post to let people know when the next one will be.

Bridget's package was really amazing - and I'll be enjoying my gifts for quite a while. It was definitely like Christmas...

Merry junking, Kathy :)

I know you're gonna do this piece very proud! Can't wait to see it!

Kathy

This is so much fun - love the ads and the great style you gave this piece! Great save - "bless you"!

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy
