junking bonanza

 I went with a friend to a relative of hers that is downsizing from a huge old farm house.  Now this is my idea of fun on a Sunday afternoon.  Rosa was junker before the name was invented and has years of accumulation in her sewing room.  We had a ball digging through old baskets, drawers and closets searching out old sewing supplies, fabric and buttons.  Her stories about different thing made it an even better adventure.  I came home with seven bags and boxes of stuff and barely made a dent.  Rosa has headed south for the winter but has invited us back in the Spring.  I am so there!!!


boxes of buttons, this is just a handful




piles of zippers, tape, spools and yards of laces.  I feel down right wealthy.

People ask me all the time how I find all this great junk.  It mostly seems to find me but I do keep my eyes open, let people know what your looking for and be open to the posibilities you may have never thought of.
