A Good Day Junkin'

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Selasa, 01 Maret 2011 0 komentar

Still beats a good day at work. OK, I know, the phrase is, "a bad day junkin' beats a good day at work", but I had a GOOD day junkin', so EVEN BETTER!!! I went out to a couple of places this weekend, one which I go to once in a while, and one that I'd never been to before, and look what I came up with.

10 count em 10 uncut yards of super wide crocheted lace-it is probably almost a foot wide. Would this be great on a bed skirt or couch skirt, or WHAT?

And then there's this stool. Is it cute or is it cute??? Oh wait, I know the answer...loving those worm holes or whatever they are on the top.

I can't seem to pass up cute bags of crochet thread. You'd think I crocheted or something! I'll use the creamy ones with some others I have for display in an apothecary jar. The pastel ones will no doubt end up in a pretty sewing box that I will put together for sale on Our Cottage Garden. The little pink tissue napkins will probably land in some type of art project since I'm not too keen on using them as napkins. Like the thought of the pretty vintage-ness of it, not sure about the vintage germs (I am a microbiologist, ya know).

Love the vintage tobacco tin and the old bottle. The bottle will be dolled up, the tin I bought to alter, but I'm sort of liking it as is, so I may just leave it and put it on Etsy.

Then, as if I weren't having a good enough time, what did my little eye spy?

A LARGE cement Madonna (the mother of Jesus, not the pop star). Her chippy multi layered paint called me over and beckoned me to take a closer look. I have to admit, I started looking around as though everyone must surely be laying in wait for me to make my move and then walk on so they could swoop in. But perhaps that was just the Jeanne d'Arc Living lover in me making me paranoid. (Speaking of that, have you seen the new issue??? SHREAK! I think it may just be my favorite one yet. But I digress.) I still did the cool, disinterested mosey-over just in case. You know the one I'm talking about-if you're a junker, you've done it. Yep, cool as a cucumber, that was me. Look at something close to the piece for a little bit, then casually let your eye wander down to the item you're really interested in. Then, without looking TOO interested, check it out. Look like maybe, if you want, I could take it off your hands...pull off price tag, just in case someone else might be lurking. Try not to skip on the way to cashier.

She's not in a proper place yet, but I had to share a little peek with you because you guys "get it". Mr. FL, not so much, but I'm used to it (and so is he). Anyway, when she is situated, I'll take some more pics and share them with you. I told Mr. FL I intended to sell her and honestly, I planned on it, but she's like a hundred pounds and I'm not sure I want to take that on, and well...she is so pretty. And chippy. And perfect. And...well, you know.

And on that note, I think I've babbled on enough for one post. Do you have a favorite junking story? Like a purchase for sale that, well, never made it to the shop? Come on, we're friends, you can tell me!

Until next time,

Linking up with Kathleen's White Wednesday. Come on over and join the fun.
