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!

I,m baaaaccckkk!

  It feels like I have been gone forever. First, I could not find my camera, the family baby have been in the hospital twice this month and my dear mom have been dealing with extreme pain in her back and arm. She will be going to therapy twice a week for the next 2 months and I'm her ride. So, busy, busy. That have not kept me from shopping like a maniac at all the fabulous Texas shows. The shop is busting out the seams and  I see a big sale coming up soon, that is, before you can't stand to be outside in the Texas heat. I got a million pictures in this post so bear with me. 










     My precious little dolls, I have mention before I love this kind, I found 5 in less than a month.

























    Love bears, I have a project in mind for the ones I own. I will show you when I get it done.

                                       I love how the table escape turn out in this table tray.








                                                                 Such a dandy....


                                    This two doll heads I bought in Roundtop. I pay a lot for them but I love their
                                                        faces.

                                 That is all folks. Till next one if I get a breather. I'm linking to Ms Kathleen from Faded Charm for her White Wednesday party. Blessings, Marta.

My new location!

I have worked overtime for the last week or so in order to be able to accomplish this window, sorry about the glare in all the photos, it was half hour after closing time and I didn't want to over do it in my first day there. In case you don't know I have been a shop owner for over a decade and recently moved my home and my shop to the country side. My loyal costumers have followed me there but I'm very interested in making new friends. That is the reason why I decided that opening a second location downtown Belton was a great strategic move. Then to make things better I was offer the window in the best mall in town. I jumped on that one since this little town and its people have my heart anyway. The vendors in this mall were very friendly and welcoming today, they know me as a costumer now they get a taste of my good junk. I still going back on Friday to add dishes and some details to the window. I want to incorporate fabric in the window to soften it up.

I promise I will take better pictures from the inside, minus the glare. I would say not so shabby for one days work.
                  Got to do something about the blue floors. I'm already brainstorming on that one.






Something new, blogger will not let me download pictures unless I buy space. I thought blogger was free. It is not a lot of money but it didn't let me post all my pictures for this post. Then it says it will take a day or so to go thru. Humm, I just didn't know. I'm off to visit with Ms. Kathleen @ Faded Charm and her White Wednesday party. Blessings, Marta.
