A few new pics of our JUNK for JMUG!!




This little trunk would be a perfect match for junkin. All the right elements! Rusty, vintage and a bent axle!! But it's too small! It would add charm to any collection or room.

I have wanted to make one of these ever since I saw others making lamps from different items. This is my first and I plan to make more funky lamps!This lamp is made from an old Thermos. It has a pull chain light fixture. I am making a different shade for this out of the bag it came in. You know... the red plaid bag! What fun!

This photo holder has lots of charm... made from an old umbrella and a glass lamp shade base... it will hold alot of your pictures with style. You can change it up for each season or leave as is. It works! And we have different ones to choose from, so stop by JMUG and take a look!
This old phone we found at an estate sale. We quickly bought it. The previous owner had turned it into a lamp. Super cool! But there is a suprise to this lamp that just made us laugh! (I'm not telling! You have to check it out at JMUG!)
Have a great day..
Do some junkin'!
Have fun today!

Busy gettin gready for JMUG!!! (Junk Market Under Glass)

Super busy getting ready for JMUG, trying to complete my online transcription course, and get all the garden work done! This is prime time for the garden, been doing alot of canning, freezing, and eating! Love this time of year. Cucumbers and onions,,, YUMMM!

A BIG thanks fo Mother Nature for giving us a break with the heat! Our shop in in the shed without air-conditioning. The fans do wonders but cooler weather really helps!


Dorothy and I have been cleaning, scraping, painting and building like crazy. Which leaves not much time for blogging but I will TRY to update every other day.

To the left is a junk locker, painted in bright lime green with black dots. Fun for the toys or blankets. It is approximately 18 x 18 x 36 inches big. We have also painted a 3-drawer mini dresser to match.



Next to the left is a small chalk board that can go anywhere as
it is about 6 x 10... and ready to take down your junkin' notes.

We have made several of these small funky frames.
Some with chalk board and some without.

Junkin Friends.... It's a junkin thing...

Also signs of the same to hang anywhere and everywhere for
your friends or loved ones that don't understand!



Here are some of the flowers we will be bringing.

Add them to your desk, office or the kitchen sink.

Made from old buttons and wire.




And to end today's post, here is a pic to get you started in knowing what smalls we will be bringing....
Have a wonderful day.
Do some junkin!
And see you in September!
