FOR THE LOVE OF JUNK

SOME WOMEN DREAM OF BEAUTIFUL HOMES AND PERFECTION. SOME DREAM OF THE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH, OUTCAST ITEMS, THE TATTERED, THE CRAZED, THE RUSTED AND SOMETIMES DISCARDED TREASURES. IM A MEMBER OF THE SECOND GROUP. I'M A JUNKER FOR LIFE!

A very cream Christmas 2009

As I told you I completely changed my color hues. It's so serene and cozy in the living room now. I sold a lot of vintage cream Christmas at the shop. I'm not always able to afford some of the things I buy for the shop. Don't feel bad for me, I'm a selective joarder. We well see what Christmas 2010 will bring. For now I'm loving it. Blessings, Marta.

More Christmas 2008 @ home

More red and yellow stuff. I brought a lot of the red decorations to the shop, one of the biggest perks of having a shop. I used to donate and give the stuff away when I got tired, the bad thing about that is that you run out of money pretty quickly. These days my husband doesn't complain about my spending because he knows I can turn around and resale.

They said when you are in the military and lived in Germany you come back to the states with a baby and a German schrank. I did both. The monster is 8 feet long and takes an entire wall. When we first came back to the United States the realtors selling homes to the soldiers will specify in their listings that the home have a shrank wall. That was last year, you will not believe the turn around I did in regards to my decor in the living room.

Fake fireplace. In Texas real fireplaces do not make sense to me. I only see a decorative value in them.Posted by Picasa

Christmas last year @ home

I told you guys I love red. The walls look like a very bright yellow on the pictures but it wasn't that tweety yellow in person.

Just like the stuff in the store much of the red and yellow stuff is gone. Most of the victorian furniture have gone home to my mom's. She was delighted to take it off my hands.

The china cabinet and the secretarie are residing @ my moms too.

I received countless pieces of Royal Albert old country roses china from my husband. Sadly it is all residing behind doors in my kitchen. It no longer match my decor but I can't part with it because I love it and my husband make such a point of getting it for me. By the way, I'm a dishaholic. At one point and time I got about 12 complete sets of china. I'm down to 4. Most of them got a story attached to them. I need to figure out how to upload more than 4 pictures at a time under on single post. Somebody...help. I want to show you my 2009 Christmas at home. i do not know if you guys will stand so much info in just one night...humm.
