~Thursday = JUNKday!!!~

Well a day off = JUNK Day!! I met up with my new found friend Amy over at Nanbrook Farm today. I wanted to take her to one of my favorite places I go to junk. Once I met Amy I knew I had to take her......yes, she was and still probably is in JUNK heaven!! We had a really fun day, not to mention she had me digging under the beds of 18-wheeler trailers for junk that had probably been under there for 20 years! It had to be a sight!! Here is what all I hauled back, I only hope she post picks of her packed trailor of all her new goodies over on her blog soon! And for the record I am still NOT tired of the BIG red #'s just yet!


Everything dingy and crusty .......love!

Yep.... N's, don't know what to associate them with just yet but my friend Amy was finding them left and right for me! We are new friends, hope she doesn't think I am Nanna instead of Janna, LOL!! I will find a place for them I am sure, they are awful cute right there in the chair.....

I have to admit I did not get this from my junk trip today... I was working the other night... or should I say snooping out good pieces in booths right before we closed at The Depot and I came across this cute heavy old tool box, of course in Amy's booth from Nanbrook Farms, I had to have it for my new jewelry box for my dresser... LOVE it! Thanks Amy!

I had to pick up the oar for my hubby, we'll I think I may have taken it out of my friends hand!

3 sets of old Rusty Scales... I was in heaven!!

I found enough old bottles to satisfy my old bottle fancy for a while!

OK blog world... I am off to bed before I collapse right here at the keyboard!! Blessings, Janna

~I'am back into the JUNK...!~

~New JUNK Finds for The Poet & Gibson Mill!~

Well another hectic week has almost passed. I wanted to get this post completed before I hit the trail to work at The Depot......if not it will be another week before I realize that I did not get it done. Boy did I ever pack in the JUNK at my booth in The Sleepy Poet yesterday! I have never seen so many pieces in one spot but I got em in there! I have collected alot of new JUNK goods the past few weeks. Here is a sampling of some of it all. I will hopefully have a few pics of The Depot booths soon.

This little crusted white childs chair has seen it's days for sure but I had to have it for the booth!

~I love Little (or BIG) Chippy Rusty Finds!~

Finally a few seconds to share some good old JUNK finds!!! I spend all my days managing at the The Depot at Gibson Mill, if you haven't made your trip there you gotta get there soon. We have just expanded to beyond 88,000 sq feet!! Only a few days here and there to JUNK so here are the goodies! All it I am sure will make it to The Depot booths or my booths at the Sleepy Poet. Lots of old chippy Ironstone was found today...... LOVE... it is my favorite!
We are celebrating our Grand Opening at The Depot Saturday April 3rd, 9-9. There will be lots of fun and goodies to be had. If you are in the area be sure to stop in for the fun. We will have a live Bluegrass band on the porch along with a few givaways! My hubby has made and canned up a few Cinnamon Applesauces, DELICIOUS!! I am hoping or should I say begging to have him make some extra to have there to sale in the booth!

All of my Thrift store Ironstone finds for the day.... the more yellow and crazed the better.....



My splurge for the day, Large Ironstone Pitcher..... she is For Sale $38.95 plus shipping....

Old Ironstone crazed planter.... I especially loved this find!

OK... this Chippy Crib ... too die for. I stopped by a little shop in Asheboro today and it was in the store window. I commented to the shop owner that I LOVED it, she said $20 bucks and its yours. I ran to the car to grab the cash, on they way to the car I thought I wonder if I was excited and heard wrong and it was really $120.00.... I would be soooo embarassed for myself if she digs it out of the front window and I heard the price wrong, but I crossed my fingers and toes when she got it out, $20 bucks. I heard right!! I know you should not tell the prices of things but I just had to in this case..... she actually got it off the side of the road at the beach so she was glad for me to have if for the $20. Looks like it would make a perfect piece for the front porch, just add a nice pluffy cushion!

This piece will also be available at The Depot this week.

Bee Smoker...... just thought it was a cutie so it came home with me, available at The Depot $24.95!

The rustiest scale ever..... so much so it did not have a price... just said make an offer... I did and it came home with me!

This is a few pics of some of the new JUNK goods I have acquired and added to my booths at The Depot .

My JUNK Jewels have made their way in to my booths as well!

I had to have this old chippy pie safe the second I laid my eyes upon it! It has old layers of chippy cream, yellow and turquoise paint! Available at The Depot $365.00.

Self Service..... I am running behind on this for myself lately, I hope I will be back to share more of my JUNK with you gals soon!! Off to bed I work the 9-9 shift at The Depot Friday... hope to see you all there!!

Blessings, Janna
