I love to go junkin'

Here are some photos of one of the coolest place to go junkin'. My husband found it a few years ago and I can tell you that it is FULL of stuff in this old peeley house. There are piles outside, inside and everywhere you look. A lot of it is junk but I dig and discover treasures.

We went to several other great places today to find some wonderful things for the store and had the most fun together! I'm going to post a ton of pictures, click to enlarge and enjoy....the last ones are what I ended up with...some things to keep to make more art, drawers, books, vintage millinery flowers etc. But most all other items will be in the store.










What I ended up with:

Dawn, Great finds, I love the millnery flowers and little bisque doll, too cute.
I will have to visit there someday, looks like a really neat place to dig. Can't wait to see the things in the store and what you will do with the things you kept. Glad you had fun!

I love places like this!!! It's like rummaging around in Grandma's attic:) I LOVE your Nest assemblage!!!! So very talented Dawn!!! I forgot to tell you the other day that the hutch you painted was fabulous and I never would have known the two pieces were not partners. Awesome! Love, Jamie

Great finds. I have a weakness for hummingbird pictures. I never thought about how many I had until a friend mentioned it ha ha. That tin with soap written on it is too cute! I just love all those details. Don't you find you have to be in the right mood to dig through stuff? Right now it's a little hard with the heat that really gets the musty smell going strong.
Best,
Kathy

Dawn: what wonderful finds. How much are the ironstone butter pats (all). I'm doing a blog on Chris Brown tomorrow; I'm wondering if one of the pics he sent is of your doll head? You'll have to tell me. Please let me know about the pats, Theresa
