A very fun 3 day junkin weekend! Inspiration.....
Friday, we started out at West End Architure, then onto Found Things in the East Village. I love this store, the owner is such a wonderful lady who is so friendly and you know when you leave that she is totally enjoying her job. We stopped to eat lunch as we needed to take a break from all the stairs. Then we went to the Majestic Lion on 2nd Ave where we found our first purchases. A great day of finds!
Saturday, we spent the day in Winterset. We started out at an auction that was WAY out of our league! Old time jugs going for as much as $1,000 is not what we were looking for! On to the square! We parked and walked around the square and stopped by every shop. It was awesome. Two junk stores, two Art stores, lunch at the Copper Cow and then on to two antique shops. We found several items to come home with us! I was on the search for printer drawers and came home with 3 of them... I already have one transformation started. I will be posting it's progress. Love to go junkin'!
Today we are headed back to Des Moines for some mall shopping and of course we will be stopping at Barnes and Noble for a new magazine. Also Lowes for some important junkin supplies; hooks, paint, wax, and brushes.
Have a wonderful day and I will be sharing pics next time.

Getting started.
Been wanting to do this for sometime now so here goes....
I always tell people that I have ADHD and this blog may prove it! I am a jack of all trades and a master of none! I do a little of everything, I can paint a room, install a new window, replace a ceiling light, rewire my home, tile the bathroom shower, make a quilt for my bed, recover my sofa, and the list goes on. I love to learn new things to do and am never afraid to try. My interests that I try to squeeze into every day include photography, creating, quilting, and cooking.
My plan for this blog is to share with my family, friends and others things that I know how to do. The way I do things is definitely not the only way to do things but is the easiest way for me. Of course, I will be including photos with instructions. If you like variety, get ready to create.... If you want to know how to do something my way, ask me and if I have done it I will blog it.
Come along with me and enjoy!
Live simple and enjoy everything you do, even doing the dishes!
