~I am FINALLY back..... with the JUNK!!~

I am back..... I think I took a much needed rest!!! I am now revived and back on the hunt!! My day job has been hectic the past few weeks so all I have been able to do is sleep when I get in. You know those days, even food for dinner did not even catch my attention!! Just Excedrin Migraine and the Bed, my two favorite companions they have been. I hope this week is better for all of us that work there. I was trying to keep up with reading all my favorite blogs but reading was about all I could get done the past week or so. I am soooo glad to be back with all you Junkers in the blog world!!! I did hit the lonesome trail by myself early Saturday morning... I tracked almost across the state in search of New Junk grounds... and boy did I ever find them, I marked them, circled them, highlighted them on my map! Anything to help me get back to them! I think my old faithful junk place is becoming Junked out with too many followers. I had made three trips over the past two weeks there and left empty handed each time.... Well, I got me some new spots!! Not to mention the most exciting news I almost forgot..... I am opening up a second spot at The Sleepy Poet this coming weekend. So I am going to have to hit the ground and run like a goat all week long to get it all accomplished!!

JUNK ...... and it all fit into my Nissan Murrano SUV, can you believe it???? Some of the littles I purchased on Friday but all the big stuff... yep it was all in the back!!! I did not unload last night when I got in because I was about to drop, boy it was Christmas all over again this morning when I popped the hatch... well at least it was for me...... my honey about fainted!! Yes, I got the lecture AGAIN.... did I pay any attention... heck no!

Also just in Jewelry maker husband Scott has TWO more of these just completed..... $25.95 plus $3.50 ship, each come on a rustic link chain with toggle clasp! Contact me for availibility, first come first get!

The little metal creation.... I found this old metal peach cookie sheet and I have not a clue what the metal piece was but they worked perfectly together, a little industrial strength glue and a Rusty Masterpiece was formed!!! Available at The Sleepy Poet $32.95.

New JUNK Jewels Hubby just finished, Blessed & Junk Junkie....$25.95 plus $3.50 to ship, they each come on a rustic link chain with toggle clasp. Just shoot me over an email for availability and to purchase sjbaker@carolina.rr.com, ~ Blessed & Junk Junkie SOLD~

More on the way...

Boy.... Saturday was Cupboard/Cabinet day!!! I love those days.... and these were exactly what I set out on the path looking for! This one is missing the glass in the doors but I love it just the same with out the glass, what ya think??

This Big Cupboard was a Fabulous find... those old doors are glass!! Just a perfect piece!

And more Cupboards!!! If I told you what it cost you would be in disbelief!!! I LOVE when I find NEW Junk suppliers, even though I may have to drive half way across the state everytime I need to go, but like my Hubby and my friend Nevada said, I should hold this one near and dear to myself only!! For once I am taking their advice..... This one just needs those little metal strips removed and some new hardware and I think it will be ready, Loving the brown and green , perfect for Fall!!

My favorite little rusted Junk box ever, SOLD the very day I took it in!!

Chippy stools and Rusty white Scale...LOVE!

This old metal laundry/wash tub basket was one of my favorite finds, actually I purchased two, one for the booth and one for me!! These are soooo crazy hard to find, I have been on the lookout for a while now!!

Crusty Rusty Old Sapp Buckets, perfect for Fall Pansies that will soon be in bloom!

Adorable old white box that had a cool color underneath, attached an old bike tag and its ready to go to the booth!!

More numbers number numbers, my weekness for sure!! I don't care their color shape or form, gotta have them!!

Thanks to all my Junker buds for stopping by to take a peek at my JUNK!! Hopefully I will not be too long before I get another post up and rolling, I have some really cool makeovers coming this week along with some new booth pics to follow!! Have a Blessed week! Hugs, Janna

~New Junk, Before & Afters & Some Sleepy Market Pics~

JUNK is here!!! I have been under the weather this weekend, almost felt like the flu but I think it is just the good old cold! The junk was not as plentiful this Saturday, a few finds but they were some good ones!! Hubby came in Saturday and delt the junk lecture once more to me...... you know the one" You gotta stop, seriously you got to , it has spilt over outside of the garage" then there came those words...."We are beginning to look like White Trash!" my reply, "Beginning too? I thought we already were!" Well... we did haul two loads to the Goodwill, you know the junk you accumulate over time that you never have a place for? So we did get it all back behind closed doors, a little progress..... for now anyway!! I did get alot of big pieces to the booth this weekend. The market has been busy as ever, what a Blessing that is!! New booth pic below of it all blended in together. I grabbed up a few pics of some of the booths and little goodies that caught my eye there today to share with you all. You will soon see why Sue from Junkmarket Style feel in love with this place when she made her visit to Charlotte!

This was another Sleepy Poet find from one of my favorite booths...except I did not even let her get it in there before I yanked it right up off of her cart. Old yellow chippy clock case made into an adorable cabinet!! Would you just die if I told you $30 bucks? I did not have to think twice, LOVE it!!

Saturday Junk find....Loved this old Cupboard the second I laid my eyes on it, I can invision it back to its old Chippy White self one day soon....This is my next makeover project. I hate that someone had already stripped it of its chippy white beauty! Little hints of the old white were left throughout.

Look at the little old cubby holes inside, too die for adorable!! I hope someone else loves them as much as I did when I saw it sitting there on the dirt floor of the old barn.

One of my fav booths in the Market, isn't it just dreamy??

This was one of my Friday purchases... best thing it required NO work, straight from the dealer to the booth. It is a huge piece, probably my biggest yet, boy I hope it sells!! Too die for yellow chippy paint, I am guessing a sideboard cupboard from the past.

Another great Saturday find.... Old Metal Medical Cabinet, in the best shape I have ever seen. This I had to get for the booth.... and yes it made it in there today.

These are a few littles Junk goodies from Saturdays Sparse hunt!! Well, the old camera case never made it to the booth, it came in the door and on of my best cutomers sent it right to the register!! Adorable little heavy rusty metal stool, was a cutie, it also SOLD by day end!

This little white old Farmhouse Cupboard below is my makeover for the week. Found a few weeks back it was in need of some help....BEFORE...Old dirty drab boring white cabinet, but a beauty in disguise it was....

AFTER.....I hit it with the sander this morning early the lead paint was a flying....and underneath were the old shades of White, Cream, Teal and a Limey Green color... I sealed in the chippys with a litght coat of almost clear stain. I love the new transformation as you can see it made it's way to the booth this morning at The Sleepy Poet, $124.95!!

My friends Karen over at Koolyukiestuff had made up these to die for feedsacks pillows for her booth!! I just had a fit right there in her booth over them! Hop over to her blog and check out her Kool Yukie Stuff!

These little glass rings are the cutest ever, yeat another great Vintage Funky booth at The Sleepy Poet, my friend Krissy over at Kitsch-y-Cool Vintage makes these up. Sue from Junkmarket Style loved her light up mannequin display, you will have to hop over to her blog and Junkmarket Style to check it out. Her blog is awesome, you gotta head over and check her out!!

This is one of my favorite little booths and the dealer is just a gem, she is truly one of the sweetest ladies ever! She is the one I nabbed up the adorable clock case cabinet from!! See the chippy green shelf laying there in the pic, I wish you could see it in its entirety...to die for, perfect chippy paint, it is huge, big rusty green hoooks, $95!! Super deal!!

Boy I loved this..... It is just so perfect sitting there!

I bet every Junker could find somthing in the adorable booth!!

Thanks for stopping in for the tour... I will have more market pics on the way soon, with 55,000 sq feet it's kinda hard to get them all in one post. Be sure to take a peek into Karen and Chrissy's blogs, tell them Janna sent you over to say hi!! I hope everyone has a great week full of good JUNK!! Hugs and Blessings, Janna

~OK....I was holding out ...on the JUNK!~

Holding out on the JUNK......... Here is a peek into some of this weeks JUNK finds! We had been planning on hitting Hillsville Va this past Monday for their big antique show.... however the Zoo sounded like alot of fun, besides me and hubby decided to get a little break in.... yeah right.... never works out that way. We did go to the Zoo but..... had to make about a zillion junk stops on the way home! How about I scored 4 more of those chippy yellow screens. And they were just as cheap as the first load I found!!
