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!

Last year Christmas @ Marta's Room

I lied, the first Christmas pictures were from 2007. Today pictures are from Christmas 2008. Most of the stuff is gone.
Charlene, here is Noel in 2008. I will used her all over the place.

I love the rabbitt coat. I actually sold it a couple of months ago to a sweeet girl that visited last year with her new husband. He remember how much she lovet it so he came back for it and for matching pieces to her grandmother's china.

Yes girls, I love red and hot pink, any shade of pink. I have been little by little integrating more whites, taupes and creams (like everybody else) but a drop of color can never hurt.

It's all about JESUS

I'm still working on my pictures uploads. This morning my computer came as close as can be to crashing. We don't know what is the deal. My husband restarted it and noticed that my Picasa folder was gone. I tell you we are computer challenge. Since I have to download more pictures I decided to take a break and check out some blogs. So many wonderful decorations, such a beautiful season. All that beauty got me to think about my most beautiful possesion in my life which is my love for God and His Son Jesus. I see people arguing about how precise this date and details about Jesus birth are. Honestly, to my it makes no difference. I do not care about the details. I care about the truth, which is the fact that he was born with a divine purpose, and that fulfilling that purpose meant He will have to give His life for me, unselfishly, no questions ask. I could have given Him a million reasons why it was not worth for Him to died in the cross for us. I don't think he would have change His mind about he was called to do. I do not know anybody that love me that way. I do not take His birth or His sacrifice lightly. Today and always I celebrate His birth, His life, His sacrifice and the fact that He is risen. I dream about the day when I will see him face to face. Today, for now all I can do is talk about Him, share the most amazing story ever told. Jesus is my Christmas and He shines in my heart. I love you Jesus. Marta

Test, test,1,2,3
My beautiful friend Jessica from Sugar Moon helped me set up the blog last week plus introduced me to the world of Picasa. For a week I have been wanting to try but unable because of my job. An introduction is in order for the newbee. I'm an antique shop owner in Belton, Texas. We are pretty much 2 or 3 hours away from Austin, Houston and Dallas. I called it the best location in the World. We get to drive 1.5 hours to Rountop and about 3 hours to Canton. It just does not get better than that. Antiquing in this area is fabulous. I really love living here.
I figured I will go back to the past with my pictures and my postings and eventually will get to show you how my shop and my home look today. Wish me luck, here we go...
