T*G*I*R* (Thank God It's RUSTY!)

It's Friday . . . and although it's been wet and nasty we managed to bring in more goodies to the boutique!
Our CHIPPY BABY has a place of honor high atop our tower of JUNK!

RUST is like gold to us . . . you just can't duplicate what time and nature has created!  We're not the only ones who feel this way 'cause we sell MUCHO RUSTO!




I guess if we weren't so darn CURIOUS we'd be known as the RUSTY BOYS !!     Have a great weekend & HAPPY JUNKIN!                           Hope your weather is better than ours!
