Amazing!

Last Saturday Ron and I decided to stay in the neighborhood for our junking.  We had had a small week at the flea market and didn't have much money to take with us.  Sales don't begin until 8am so we had a quiet morning, coffee on the porch and waited till the neighborhood woke up.  I love mornings like that.  We visited severals sales without finding much.  That last sale filled our truck.  It was wonderful.

We drove up to this sale and saw this rocking chair sitting at the curb.  I was sure it was sold as there was a woman standing beside the chair.

It wasn't sold!  This chair is huge!!  Remember Lily Tomlin and her Edith Ann charactor?  She always sat in an oversized chair.  This is an Edith Ann chair. 

Look at the detail.

This photo might give  you a better idea of the size.

That's an office desk behind it.  A large office desk.  The chair sat in my booth for ten minutes before it sold.  I knew that no one could pass it up any easier than I could. 

We bought this computer desk at the same sale.

We also bought this glassware there.  Actually she gave it to us.  Love free things.

I love this perfume bottle.  The fringe reminds me of Freedom's pompom tail. 

These refridgerator dishes were found at a different sale.  I love these and pick them up everytime I find them.  But I don't have one for myself.  So sad.

These couple things round out our junking last weekend.  \

We found a couple things for the house.  Bought some new towels at one sale and a folding rake at another.  I very seldom find things for us.  That was fun.  Hope you had a chance to go junking and found some wonderful things.  Leave a comment and tell me about your finds.

My Favorites

Today I'm going to show you my favorites finds from junking this past weekend. There were some really cool things.  I don't know where to begin. 

I'm pretty sure this is a Black Forrest CooCoo Clock.  I don't know if it works.  I don't have a clue how to check it out.  I know that it can be weight driven but that's all I know.  One antler is missing but it doesn't show.  I know it will sell As Is.

I love these wire garden chairs.  I sold a child's size that was rusted and broken in spots.  This chair won't last long in the booth.  I can't remember what they're called.

These mosaic chairs are so unusual.  I wonder if someone decorated plain folding chairs or if they came this way.  If hand done, someone sure is talented.

I have this thing for anything made of wire.

The last thing is this vintage oil lamp.

What do you think?  I think I did great.  Can't wait to hear what you found. 

A Weekend Without Junking

Thank goodness, this past weekend wasn't without junking.  I think I actually have withdrawel on those weekends.  Friday we went out of our neighborhood.  Saturday we stayed around the house.  Our neighborhood is strange in that sales don't begin until 8am to 9am.  I'm already raring to go at seven, so Friday we went to a neighboring town.  I'm actually going to show you Saturday's finds.  I forgot that camera again when I took everything to the flea market on Friday.

One of my favorite finds are these chairs.  There are two matching chairs.

I fell in love with this Big Boy bank.  How long as it been since Shoney's was called a Big Boy?  When I was pregnant with my daughter, I craved Big Boy sandwiches.  Couldn't get enough of them.  Now they just aren't the same.

This Teapot is so delicate.  I thought about polishing it but I love the patina on it.

I just know you are all envying this find. 

This vase is midcentury modern I think.

My daughter loved the white bowl.  There were two of them.  Guess where they're at now.  I was going to save them for her birthday.  I'm not good at that so when she came over today I just said "Happy Birthday" and gave them to her.

This was a Pyrex weekend.  I bought some refridgerator dishes, the white bowls and these mixing bowls.  It's hard to find the full set anymore.  Usually one size is missing.  These are like new.

The next thing I want to show you is this little wooden box with the brass insets.  It was too cute to pass up.

I have more to show you but I'll wait till tomorrow.  We found a lot of nice things this past weekend.  Unfortunately sales are down and I think I'm going to cut back on the amount of junking I do.  It looks like one day a week and that I'll stay in my own neighborhood.  That only means I can sleep in on Saturday morning.  That can't be a bad thing.  Happy Junking!!
