Great Junkin Day

I headed over to that junk place I mentioned that was going out of business. I was talking to the man asking if they had any windows or spindles and he said I was welcome to look through his "trash" pile, and take anything I wanted. Wow, I found table legs, tables, chairs, a sewing machine table and lots of stuff. Then the guy who owns the whse across the ally said he was getting rid of his stuff too and was having an estate sale down the street, but He was here to pick up a load and I was welcome to look through his whse. I got 5.00 worth of stuff and headed down the street to the estate sale where I found Parts of beds, a great marble table, spindles a clock and a finial all for 10.00. We still have to go back with the trailer and pick up some of the free stuff tomorrow, but I'm so excited. Here are some pics.




All that in my little bitty car


That's an old bread box, and some other rusty kitchen stuff

I'm a sucker
for display racks, any ideas what I can do with this one?

Margo, you always seem to hit the jackpot. Lucky you!! I'm sure you will figure out what to do with all of it.
Have a great weekend!

What great "junk" you found! I love to pick things up off the curb & in trash piles too! Have found some great old furniture that way & it's amazing what you can do with all those bits & pieces you found. LOVE the BABY BIRDS!
