Junkin Jackpot!!!

So last Friday I ran out for lunch and  

I saw this little sign......

Estate Sale!!

And you know what that means!

I blew off my hunger pains and followed the signs!

It was a little house on top of the hill,

and when I walked in the garage.....

well, lets just say there was a light glow to it,

I heard angels singing.......

There was so much great stuff!

I immediately dug in and started a pile!

This was the first item I wrote sold on!

Sorry it has been raining here so I tried to take pictures

before the downpour started again!

Look at this, the man who lived here built this table!

It ain't fallin apart!!

Look at this bad boy!!

And look at these lockers that were in the garage!

There were 2 of them.

Here they are in the barn.

I wish the rain would stop!

I know April  May Showers bring June flowers.......

So cute, and I do have the shelves.

Look at this cuteness,

a wooden tray!

Can't wait to paint that!

And this old Avon bottle.

How cute would this be with soap in it.

Gotta figure out what to do where it's chipped

on the lid. 

There were stacks of song books.

And your basic junk,

that I can't live without!!

Bet you can't tell what year I was born.....

 There were stacks and stacks of license plates. 

I tried to find some with The Boyfriends birth year

but, they didn't have license plates back then....

An old bed, for.........$10!!!!!

It's sideways in the barn,

but you get the idea.

The foot board and the side rails are in the corner.

I can't wait to shabby that bed up!!! 

Cute little vase.......

Cute HOOSIER GLASS vase!

And in this trash bag

Old feed sacks.......

Can you contain yourself!!!! 

So far this one is my favorite!!

And as another tease.......

this is the rest of the junk!!!

Just crammed in the shed!! 

Rain please stop!!!! 

I must paint!!!

I am really excited about this table!!

And yes that is a bathtub in my yard!!

I put flowers in it in the summer 

and it's great for parties!

Fill it up with ice and it's a giant cooler!

Great Junkin Weekend!!

Happy Monday!

I have been crazy busy!!  I hit the best Estate Sale

in the world this weekend.

I'm talking 4 truck loads!! 

And 50% off Saturday at Good Will!!

That was crazy!!!  

People, junkers, like me get a little crazy!

Some of them were watching me like a hawk......

just waiting for me to

leave my cart alone so they could take something out of it!

I'm not kidding.....

Survival of the fittest at Good Will!!!

But no pictures yet.......sorry!

It was raining all weekend to I had to trap everything thing up.

The Boyfriend said I've officially now turned into 

"that yard".

You know the one.......

the one you drive by and say out loud......

"wow they really need to clean their yard"

"what is all that crap under those tarps"

"they need to be on that show, Hoarders"

New post to come this week, I promise,

but for today,

 I am posting my old post about my door knobs.

Enjoy! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I don't know why but

I love 

Door Knobs!  

Old, antique door knobs, that is.

I have kept them in baskets, put them on shelves for display......

and then one day it came to me!

I wonder if I could put them on my doors!

This is the bathroom door - front

These didn't have the "guts".

So I bought a real cheap door knob set at Home Depot 

and used it!

Bathroom door - other side

TV room - this knob I had forever!

My very first door knob.....I think I got it like 7 years ago!

And this is the other side of the TV room.

And yes, I love that they don't match!

Bedroom - these I found at a salvage yard 

Other side of bedroom door

It had the paint on it so I just left it!

This is the pantry door

It's the same on both sides.

I need to find some back plates for these!

So all the doors in my house have different door knobs!

How cute and shabby is that!

For someone like The Boyfriend, Mr. Matchy Match 

it bugs him so bad!! 

And this is why we will probably never be able to live in the same house!

Is it OK to be married and live in separate homes.......

Good Will Been Very, Very GOOD To Me

I have found such awesome stuff at Good Will lately!

All this for under $15!!!

Sand er down......

And you too........

Close up views.....before......

And after......

Days and days of sanding, till my arms were numb,

painting and then of course

messing it all up,

or as we call it

adding the shabbiness!

We have all this cuteness!!

And my pride and joy!

It was hard to take this one to the store.........

That shelf turned out so, so cute!!!!

I took everything here........

We call it "The Big CK"
Cotton Kloset!


It's my sister's consignment store!

Not your regular consignment store.........
they only take in quality items and 
lots of great furniture!!  
And lots of antiques!!!! 

They have been voted the best consignment store in

Denver, like 4 years in a row!!!

Some days I come in here and spend all the money
I just made!!! 

If you are ever in Parker, CO stop by!!


Oh and the mirrors sold as I was carrying them in 
and the shelf was drawing a crowd!


It was to painful to tell it good bye.......
I had to leave!
I don't know who it went home with!
I'm sure it will be very happy!

Drop Cloth Curtains, Hiding Baby Chicks

I added a mud room on the back of my house.

It was going to be a laundry room but the price to run the pipes

was WAY more than I could afford.

As you can see the walls aren't finished yet.....

And it's a catch all for all my projects!

I've been finding some great stuff at
my Good Will!!!

Wait till you see!

Someday I'll get this room done!

I needed a closet door, but since the litter box is in there.......

and these precious
little babies..........

Of which I have in hiding from
THE BOYFRIEND!

The Boyfriend does not share in my enthusiasm

for chickens.......

Drop cloth curtains to the rescue! 

These are perfect!

 I love them!

The funny thing is The Boyfriend hears the 
little peep, peep, peeps.......

I keep telling him it's from a nest some birds
built in the drain pipe on the back porch.


He keeps saying "they sure are loud"!!! 


HA HA HA 

When they get feathers they can go outside with
everybody else.
The Boyfriend will never notice.......

By the way,
see the brown one, 

she's smart,

she listens to me!
Believe me I know..........

Have a wonderful Mother's Day everybody!!

I've Joined The Drop Cloth Bandwagon!

First of all I really hate it when my JOB interferes with my blogging!!

HELLO.....I've been so busy doing the stuff I get paid for 

I haven't been posting or checking in on everybody.

Checking in on all of you everyday
 is........ is......

Like a drug!
Like catnip is to cats, 
like oats are to horses,
 like a bone is to a dog, 
like ants are to picnics......... you get the idea!

I feel so lost, 

I feel like I've missed so much!!!

I may have to take a day off just to get caught up with you guys!!

SO now on to my 
 Drop Cloth cuteness!

Got some cheap cushions from the Walmart!

Took em' to my trusty sewing neighbor!


She did such a fancy job! 
Little velcro tabs on the backside.

I had her sew some different sizes 
so they weren't all matchy, match!

Cute, Cute 
I love them!!

So here I am 
now a proud member of
the Drop Cloth Club!!
