SUNDAY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME !

If you guessed  "Spanky and Our Gang"  you win! We love the oldies, especially while we're JUNKIN', which is where we just came from! Our favorite market is a sunday morning tradition with us . . . we always find GREAT JUNK!!
We look just like Fred and Lamonte Sanford on our way home . . . getting odd stares as cars pass us by. I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about! We just end up laughing  . . . one man's trash is another man's . . . you know the rest!!
Every JUNKIN' trip brings us more AWESOME JUNK for our shop . . .so every time you shop with us you'll find something new and fun! Now, back to SPANKY . . .
               (TEXAS BLUEBONNETS IN OUR BACK YARD)
I REMEMBER SUNDAY MORNING . . .I WOULD MEET HIM AT THE PARK  . . . WE'D WALK TOGETHER HAND IN HAND . . .'TIL IT WAS ALMOST DARK . . . SUNDAY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!
                         HAPPY JUNKIN!!!

There's NO PLACE like HOME !!

Don't you surround yourself with those you LOVE and CHERISH  . . . and  don't they make you laugh  and you want to spend as much time as you can with them? 
Well . . . we fill our home with things that make us laugh . . . special things that we were lucky enough to rediscover!  (And someone else will soon get lucky . . . we just put this CHIPPY LITTLE GUY in the shop!!!) update: Sorry . . . he sold in 1 day !


 We both like to spend time at home together, surrounded by our CURIOUS STYLE,  plotting where we will go JUNKIN' next .   (Warrenton is almost here . . . YIPPEEE!!)
So SHARE YOUR PASSION for JUNKIN'  . . . and make your home like no place else!  Have an Awesome Weekend and HAPPY JUNKIN' !!!

. . . TAKE A MESSAGE !!!

We've been getting into old graphic signs lately. These beauties are hand-lettered and came from our local university TLU !  Just imagine what great  conversation starters these would be !! They are CHIPPY PERFECTION !!!
Love the old cream and red metal advertising signs ! We've seen  pretty outrageous prices on some metal signs . . . not these !!


We met a man whose wife makes these old postal bags into pillows . . . how clever is that!  The original canvas with faded lettering and rope laced grommets are truly unique !  Just when you think you've seen it all  . . .  BAM . . . FRESH JUNK !!!
HAPPY WHITE WEDNESDAY & HAPPY JUNKIN' !!!
