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 lot of nonsense

This a White Wednesday post that comes out of sheer wanting to share with my friends, because energy wise I am findidng myself exhausted. To make matters worst I fell in the ice last week and you know, I'm a big girl so I hit hard, REALLY hard. I did a half split and I don't remember hitting my shoulder but I discovered I have a black and blue shoulder. I scrape my ankle but luckily that was the extend of that. The worst is my knee, instead of getting better is hurting more. I have been nursing it, I guess when you get older things just take longer. As long as it get better before the shows I will be a happy camper. Enough about that. I have been lurking, not leaving comments but getting tons of inspiration. How many blogs are out there? I guess millions because I keep finding them. Enough blah, blah. On to the stuff you like.

It almost feel like is black Wednesday, you see later, but I'm running out of ideas.                
I got so many smalls that is challenging to find ways to display them.

Boxes full of nonsense. Buckles, camera bulbs, vintage first aid stuff, letters, muslin bags,etc.

I kind of like the boxes full of stuff since a lot of people like to gig and see what is inside.

I believe you have seen her before, I have to move it to another space to accomodate new stuff.


This cabinet is not coming together, is lacking something.

I know is WW but is silver and black in a white cabinet, that counts, no?


More silver. I'm not happy at all with my pictures this week.

More nonsense

Stuff and more stuff.
I think I have done as much nick picking as I can muster for today.

Friends, this are all the photos I took today. I'm still putting new vignettes together around the store. I will show you the progress. Take care and have an amazing week. Thanks to our host Ms.  Kathleen @ Faded Charm. Go to her blog for a list of the WW friends. Blessings, Marta.

Aw Marta, I didn't know you fell! So sorry, hope your bruises heal quickly.
Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it. I went out junkin' today and racked up on some stuff at Goodwill so I am already planning my spring mantle! Hee hee!
Oh! Do you have any blue milk glass? I think it is also called delphite? Not looking for plates/cups, more like stands, candy dishes, that sort of thing.

Marta,
I hope you are feeling better after your fall...I am so sorry. Please be careful! I need some advice, please. I am having trouble getting the old jewelery and buttons to stick to glass....what type of glue do you find to be the best for this. TIA..THANKS IN ADVANCE!
