~It's Peely and I am in LOVE~

I had to have it....it is Peely all over, the old dirty color is perfect, the old doors don't quite do what they are supposed to but it just makes me like it better!

HELP....too much on my plate!

Here we go... I have a few pics to share.  I have been an awful

blogger, I apologize....I now admit....I have to much on my plate,

burning the candle at both ends, don't know if I am coming or going, when I wake

in the morning I have to think for a minute on what day I am on!!  I have still been

collecting tons of good JUNK,  I have just ran out of time to post

about it!  HELP!!  I have quickly found out that being in charge and running the largest

Antique Mall in the South (The Depot) is now my life, & I am just trying to squeeze the rest in!  My blogger buddies, hold on I am trying to get better at the balancing!  If you have not been out to visit The Depot, you gotta come....over 88,000 sq feet & 470 plus booths!





My Sleepy Poet Booth

 

Here is one of my spots at The Depot , my eclectic collection of

good JUNK!

I have certainly had no time for Yard Sales here lately.... Is it just me or

is good JUNK getting harder to come by???

I have wanted this chippy beauty from a dealer friend FOREVER....and I

finally got it!  It is perfect and chippy!

This was my favorite Estate Sale find for the weekend....look at this little sucker.  I have never seen another

like it! 

All the pie pans still in their slots.  I have never seen so many people grabbing

up everything so fast. I swear the buyers must have been tag teaming because I was the 20th person in line and I thought I was going to have to fight for this one piece!  24 minutes later I was putting everything in the car and headed home.  The sale started at 7am and at 7:24 all the good stuff was gone! JUNK vultures

I found myself in the middle of!  Unbelievable!!!

Thanks so much for stopping in  for a peek at my JUNK,  be sure to follow me on

Facebook, sometimes I am better with posting my Junk pics there, it is easier when

you have cell phone camera in hand!  So if you have not visited me on Facebook, come

on over for a visit, I have my link in the sidebar! Until next time I will

be dreaming of good rusty crusty chippy JUNK!

~A little Junk Re-Fluffing & Stuffing going on today!~

BOY....am I ever pooped!  A day off...really? Is that what it is called??  It was supposed to be...so I headed out early this morning to spend a little moment in my booth at The Sleepy Poet, Re-Stuffin & Re- Fluffin my JUNK!  I can't believe I have it packed this tight! It is all in....now if someone will take it all home with em!  Back to work at The Depot tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be full o sunshine this weekend....good weather brings lots o shoppers.....Back to my Booth... Here we go!


Lots of Hues of Gray & White

Great Springy colors are in Artsy Fartsy's air.......

Had to get this sign....wish I had a little bit of that "Sweet Charity" about now!

A little Rust & Tarnish fills the mood.....

Shades of Spring, it's on it's way!

"Here we go.... a little Chippy & Rusty!"



Rusty for how I feel after trying to move around this new blog template......Chippy for the goods I bring you to see.....Seriously this post is taking forever. (Over an hour now)!! I want the old template back. Not much for change I ain't!! I need some serious blog help. I will be calling on some of you soon!  I am a little sad that I have no funny stories to tell like usual , I have just been so pressed with time & work all I have to share is good JUNK pics!!! I have been collecting JUNK and compiling pics for the past few weeks....... so here we go with the first load!



My Favorite Green Chippy Chair

Adorable little chippy white cupboard...thinking about making it my new/old island in my kitchen???

 

This was my Junk collected about 3 weeks ago, little red table received a makeover,  pics to come soon....

Yelloware.....it is near and dear to my heart.....if it is chippy the better! The darn white Dental table...too cute, too bad I did not notice it was missing it's rear wheels! Kinda like how I feel lately!!! 



My most recent collection of JUNK....



Adorable yellow chippy table, thanks to Christy at The Dry Sink...

added a little Turquoise paint and coat of wax to the

top and she was sent on her way to my booth at The Sleepy Poet.....

Love the new Flea Market Style magazine....is it ever packed

full of good JUNK goodies....and ideas...I just never get time to do them...I think this is my fav issue yet!

Fresh out of Flea Market Style....page 124, got me one of these suckers...

Resting comfy in my spare guestroom (we have never had a guest)!!

And the Junk Jewels... I have created a few here and there in between running The Depot, (plug...plug The Largest Antique Mall in the South)!! JUNKING, taking care of 3 dogs, a cat, a rabbit, husband, and two more booths...yes two more....announcement NEW Shop Alert.... my dear friend Carolyn with Pack Rat Antiques has offered me a room inside her fabulous store in Monroe, NC. So stay tuned for pics to come, in the mean time hop over and pay her a visit. http://thepackratantiquesshop.blogspot.com/ Tell her Janna sent you!  I will have my chippy goods, Buttered Maple Syrup Candles and JUNK Jewels available there soon!

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments and support, in this crazy rat race I am running it gives me a little extra steam! Never in a zillion years did I think I would be given the awesome opportunity to do what I love as a full time job...what a ride. Not to mention my wonderful staff and 450 plus vendors!!! I have been truly Blessed! Until next time.....Keep a JUNKIN!!  

~I have Returned to the JUNK!~

I am trying to return back ..... a little at a time....trying to re-discover, re-purpose, re-JUNK myself!! Swamped, buried, coming up for air from my job at The Depot! I have had a zillion customers come through reminding me that I have gotten slack on my blog posts! I forgot my Blog account password, then it took me a day in itself to remember how to manuver around and get all the Christmas pics and music removed! Speaking og MUSIC...New music alert on my blog..... The Avett Brothers... yes they are awesome and from NC! You may have seen them play with Bob Dylan on the Grammys....I won't mention one of their favorite places to shop around Concord.... to those of you who have seen them out and about, we are honored!
OK....to the JUNK... a peek inside my pantry...lots of new Chippy, Crusty, Stained Ironstone and Saltwear...what should a girl do...keep or sell???

My favorite OLD mountain antique shop find.....tattered & worn they are! And for $15 bucks...just had to get em. They fit like an old glove!

I am still into making old re-purposed jewels... my friend Bonnie brought these in stamped up and ready for my shop! I just love their rustic not perfect look! If it looks perfect like it came off the showroom floor.... it is not for me! Me and Hubby used to do these but after doing a few together I figured the marriage was more important!!! Bonnie entered our marriage just at the right time!

Here she is....in all her dirty glory...my next project...hope it does not take me as long to finish her as it did to get back to blogging!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her colors found underneath her old cream paint! She is a work in progress after pics will follow, date of release to be announced...LOL!!

For those of you that did not see this beauty over on my Facebook page (Janna Jordan Baker) here it is...well I got my hands on 4 of these.... 1800 circa Old Rennaissance Revival Chairs... Eastlake... They are fantastically the best! Some have the old horse hair stuffing hanging out all over, those are my fav! One is available now in my booth at The Sleepy Poet, $105.

A big Thank you to everyone for still following me even though I have been MIA! I will have some great JUNK & booth pics on the way soon. And if you have not visited The Depots website, please check us out. We are definitely one of the Biggest & Best on the east coast, I am not just saying it because I run the place.... it truly is packed full of the best chippy, crusty, rusty finds around.... a pickers paradise....that is where I find 95% of my goodies! I will see everyone soon! JUNKER HUGS, Janna

~ I am on my way back to Blogland SOON!~

I promise I am on my way back....OMG is has been too long..so long I forgot my darn password to my Blog account and not to mention the Christmas pics on my Blog!!!! I have been caught up in the hustle and bustle of running The Depot and with the Holidays I lost sight of everything. I have still been Re-Purposing & Re-Living the JUNK!!!! All I need now is to get the memory stick cleaned out on my camera and get to snapping those wonderful pics of my rusty, crusty, chippy finds that are piling up in my garage! So stay tuned ....I am working on cleaning this page up a bit! Hugs and Blessings, Janna
