Junk Party!!!


I'm part of the junk party!!!! After looking at my junk, click here to be inspired by some other junkers... we should form a support group!!!



I took along my 9 year old son who also found some of his own treasures... books and rollerblades, and had a very productive day at the Salvation Army store... here are my finds... I spent 16 dollars, including the wooden shoe organizer which is already in use by my garage entry door. Check out the spray paint cans in the background just itching to go! Incidentally, my trigger finger is kinda numb today... no lie... I guess I'll need to toughen up!



To the lawn with the spray paint I go... anxious to start my repurposing!



This old popcorn tin will be my new dogfood tin... it soaked up an entire can of spray paint and still needs more, so stay posted for the final reveal.






I decided to start collecting white dishes... at the beginning of the week I had none, now look at them all... I spent no more than 10.00 on this entire collection!!! I'm so excited because I've never had nice dishes for this hutch.






This candid family shot finally has a frame for 99 cents and some black spray paint!




Jars from the SA sore.. cleaned up, just waiting to be filled with something fun!

  3. I love redoing frames too! Great dish finds. I need to do that- I never have enough for the holidays and if I did there is always one that breaks. Mismatch is my answer! Thanks for the idea :) ~Theresa

  4. I have only recently become a thrifter, and I really will never pay full price for frames again. Love that candid photo. Really sweet. Glad your son found some treasures too!

I just bought some jars like this from an estate sale last weekend (no pics!)and I am trying to figure out what to put in them...I think the problem is that i have way too many choices! Ho, hum! Anyhow, thanks for sharing...I am now an official follower and can't wait to see more from you!
