Just Simply Out Junking

    

 The junk business has been good to me this summer with a few unusual items which my customers have come to expect.       
I have been so busy trying to gather items like a squirrel does for winter. 


Art Deco  Numbers & Letters


Japaneses WWII Gas Mask



Giant Metal Arrow Signage


Surveyor's Equipment  

I know I'm a little odd at times, but I love it when I walk up behind the people who don't understand different and over hear there comments!!!!!
  It can't all be tea cups and prisms.

It's Time To Blow My Own Horn

      A wise man once told me to blow my own horn because no one would do it as loud as I would. This has been sound advice.  
So with the
coming to town October 25 - 27 at the 
Hendersonville Expo Center 
I thought I would show some pictures of my 
booth at the Rare Bird Antique Mall in Goodlettsville, TN. 
Now my theme has been to get it full, worry about the 
decorating later so without further delay:

 





Be sure and bring your walking shoes and enjoy the 4 
antique shops in the Goodlettsville area while your in town.

A Letter To Myself


Dear blog,
     So glad you are still here for me.  I started laying in bed at night and wondering if I didn't get back to you would you disappear, vanish and I would never know what really happens when one doesn't post in almost two months.  It's all my fault I have had a full and busy summer and
      well that's just an excuse really I have had writers block.  I would sit and stare read others daily post and just not feel it in my soul to type another word.  Not sad,depressed nor happy and joyful just plain, I just felt like, there must be more inside that wanted to get out and be heard... then the light came on!

 I don't just want to talk about junk. The world is spinning fast and I want to share more of my life the things that worry me while lying in bed at night or things that make me giggle at red lights and some inspiring and a lot rather boring but it's me.  Then it came to me like a second light 


I can do both share my love for the junk and love for life not just the good and the sad but also the daily because is that not where we really show our true selves.

                                                                         Sincerely and Enthusiastically,
                            Lisa

When The Beast Entered My Life


          It was a hot July day some where around 95 degrees add in the humidity and I'm sure it was over a 100 degrees.
I decide to had out just hoping someone was as crazy as me and just maybe there would be treasures.  Never did I expect to meet up with the beast.



Now to some she may not be much, but you didn't have to lift the beast in and out of the van, but she's a beast alright.



The beast is dirty and needs a lot of  TLC from someone.




She must of been someones work bench.
I am in the process of cleaning her up just a little water and soap ( don't forget the elbow grease).  
Then off to the market where someone will see her as a kitchen island maybe with a marble top or a gorgeous wood grain top.  
Me I 'm just the lucky picker who gets to call her mine till someone else decides to love the beast. 
 She'll be at the 
Rare Bird Antique Mall til then.

Boot Scoot and Boogie

  



Just a little something the husband brought home for me!




I am so glad I taught my husband about trash to treasure.
Someone was throwing this out. I know, I am still in shock.



What a great old metal sign.  
Thank you husband!
