Uniting Junkers , collectors, and creative people!



Your raindancing worked Jill!

Saturday's sale was a risky one, the heavy dark clouds circled us, but every now and then, the sun peeked out, just enough to give me sunburn (it doesnt take much for me to get burnt!).


I had blue tarps up just incase, and we were ready to scoop everything up in a flash!

We had a great day! I had lots of positive feedback, and handed out lots of business cards. I saw some familiar faces, and met some new ones! Sue came up to participate, and sell some of her own treasures, after I picked out some to keep! My daughter Cara also sold some things, raising more funds for her trip to Africa (5 weeks to go).


The school at the end of the lane raised lots of much needed funds with their bootsale, and there were various garage sales around. I didnt leave my post, in fear of finding to many lovely things and not being able to resist!


I forgot to take photos of my customers, but I quickly snapped a few of our items before the stampede of people arrived! Well , slight exageration,there may not have been as many shoppers as my last sale, but it was nice to see some come back, and everyone genuinely interested. So I could say it was a successful day!

Sunday, Sue and I went looking for chickens, not for me ,for Sue . Then we drove back up to the gorgeous nursery in Wentworth Falls, with the huge barn out the back! It was a great day, though we were tired from Saturday.
Well ,the cheeky pup we have been minding, has left the building, and just in the nick of time ! I thought she was going to start chewing us! I cant tell you how much she destroyed on my verandah...lets just say, I could have used her, instead of my paper shredder! We had all the boxes of sales thing there, and she ripped them all to pieces, along with some of the chairs, toys, and tools etc!
Goodbye Tiger Lily!


Today, Ive been catching up with some much needed computer work. So I will be adding some new items soon to my Website, and ebay.
My next sale will be on the 28th February, 2009.

It sounds so far away, so Ive decided to open the studio on Wednesdays and Saturdays, by appointment only, up till Christmas.
If interested, drop me an email!
Gather a group of friends together, plenty of interesting gifts for everyone!
Till later, x
