Come along with me as I go junking.

I thought I'd take you all with me as I went Junking today. You are all with me in spirit anyway, so Here we go.
First we need to turn on the GPS so we can get to the sales the I found in the paper that look interesting.

My Dh got me this as a gift, and I love it. I'm able to find so many places now, and the other benefit is, that after following signs, and getting completely lost, It gets me out and to the next destination quick and easy. I think I'm probably saving gas too.

Well that sale was a dud, but we are near my favorite fast food spot and it's time to get my fuel.
1 Large Sweet tea please.

now back on the road, and dodging construction

Let's follow this sign

good sign does not always mean good sale.

Nothing at that one for me.
Let's follow this sign

Nothing at that one either. Well I guess that there are not that many sales today.
It has been hot and lots of people wait until it cools off a bit, so August can be kinda slow.
So now I'm off to work, for a few hours.
When I get all that boring stuff done, I head over to the Flea Market in town that is open every week. I go mostly to visit with the nice ladies there, but sometimes I find treasures.

It is in the East Texas Fair grounds buildings, and there is another building just down the road that has opened it's doors to liquidate all it's treasures before the Fair starts. I stopped in there and hit the motherload.

Here is some of what I picked up.

I got the wire stuff at a sale earlier and these shoe stretchers had such a great shape I just had to pick them up. And the price was right. Wait till you see what I made with them.

Isn't this stove pipe divine. There is a grate on each end. Now to figure out how to get the grates off of the pipe.

I got 6 pieces of this tin, Love the flowers

I also picked up some books, and B&W Photo's and some vintage Postcards and advertising cards. You can see most of that stuff on my ebay this week. Click banner at the right.
Yesterday I was able to hit an estate sale and i picked up some fun stuff there too.

And this great box of trim bits.

Wait till you see what I made with the corks, and the flash cards will be an ebay item.
Then this evening I got a call from my Son. His adviser at his college, is a junker like me and we've gotten to know each other. She is having a sale this weekend and was offering a pre-view to her "friends" so i headed over there and picked up this great piece.

Look at those details. I think this is destined to be the back of a bench.

Out of all the treasures I found this weekend, I think my favorite has to be this little item.

You see, my DH and I have adopted several rescue greyhounds. We are on our 3rd, sadly the others passed away of cancer. Cancer is very common in this breed. Our current hound is Gigi which stands for goofy girl. When I saw this little card I just had to have it. My best buy for only $2.
Thank you for coming along with me. Here are my 2 projects with some of my finds.
The shoe stretchers are now a wall hook thingie

and the corks are now a bulletin board.

What a fun 2 days.
Take care,
Margo
