Here's to good health, and good junkin'....

Well another successful weekend of browsing the junkshops and junkyards for those all important pieces...of junk! With hubby away, yet again, I had no choice but to 'work', I sware he is the one driving me to junkheaven!

So here are just a few of my specials, not too big, so they dont clutter up my verandah!And I know what you are thinking, how can people throw these away, or sell them so cheaply, and believe me, they were very cheap! I guess that is why there are people like me , to recycle, and reuse! It has become a real passion of mine over the years,and some people just cant see the true value in the 'elements' of days gone by.Whether it be painting, scraping, fixing, of just plain washing....they are too valuable to toss away.


BRING THEM MY WAY!!

I absolutely love this bin, its huge, old and original! And look at this tray mobile, it looks like it may have come from a primary school!


Glass doorknobs, pretty lightfittings, frames and more!
As usual, I have intensions to do these up, clean ,paint, fix.....but they really need to be here for a while, a couple of them may even stay permanently! But do keep watch, on one of my strong days I might just list them on ebay!

I managed to part with a few....check them out in my store.
