Transformation Tuesday

Mornin'!

Remember this pile of frames from I got at a auction a couple weeks ago?  See the one I'm pointing out... here

A coat of white spray paint, a vinyl decal, and some Armor Etch and whala! 

A new item for the store.  (it's sold already too!)

Gotta love instant gratification!

Would You Buy It Wednesday

Yeah it's Wednesday again! Not only is it 1/2 way through this week, it's Would You Buy It Wednesday over at Junker Newbie http://junkernewbie.blogspot.com/ I'm so glad Stephanie brainstormed this weekly linky... it gives me a reason to hit the auctions! 

At last Wednesday's auction this item came up for bid.

I had no idea what it was, but those are sometimes the best items.  At $5.00 I walked away with it (and MANY more items!).

As I was walking away, I overheard one lady ask another lady what it was and she said it was a vintage magazine rack.  Huh... could it be?  I've done some looking online and haven't come across one, yet.

What do you think?

Would you buy it?

Would you use it as a magazine rack or as something else?

Thanks for stoppin' by!

The Junk Fairy

Look!


The junk fairy was at my house last night! O.k.... that's not my house, nevertheless I was visited!

Lying in bed last night around 9:30 (getting up early to work out, work, parent teacher conferences, running Wiley to wrestling, supper, laundry) I heard knocking, scraping, shuffling outside.

The dog is her kennel, the kids are sleeping, Mike is in the next room who could it be? Robbers, ghosts, my imagination?

I asked Mike to check, he found nothing... nada... zilch... sleepier than I thought

Got up this morning, worked out, grabbed my big thermos of steamy good caffiene and headed out the door...

*gasp* what's this...



ooh... and this...



It was the JUNK FAIRY!!!

I snapped a couple quick pix of the treasures and headed off to work... didn't even get to go digging.

I have discovered my Junk Fairy was my mother. She attended the auction that I missed last night, and this was all stuff they were going to throw into the dumpster...



yes- my fairy junk mother loves me!
