LITTLE BLUE

SUITCASES ARE STILL ALL THE RAGE.

 

THERE ARE SO MANY KINDS.

THEY MAKE GREAT STORAGE.

I PUT MAGAZINES IN MINE.

THIS LITTLE ODD SHAPED ONE
(WIDER ON BOTTOM THAN TOP)
WAS BEGGING TO BECOME HOME DECOR!

 

 

A CREATIVE URGE CAME OVER ME.

(HAPPENS ALL THE TIME)

NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CUTIE.

 

 

ADDING FINISHING TOUCHES TO THINGS

IS MY FAVORITE HOBBY.

JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING MORE CAN

MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

 

 

THE TAG WAS STAMPED USING

UNITY'S TRAVEL NOTES (MAP).

 

THE CLEVER QUOTE IS A STICKER BY CLOUD 9.

 

THE STAR IS CUT FROM BOBUNNY PAPER.

Oh Baby!

My youngest is 4 now.  This is so sad, because I adore vintage baby items.  Good thing I have a craft booth & can still enjoy the thrill of buying cute oldies at garage sales.

This charming box sold very swiftly for me.  It had the best crackle image possible. 

I wasn't sure if folks would know what to do with it, so I labeled the price tag as "baby keepsake box".  It had a pull out tray on top for smaller items.  That would hold hospital bracelets, rattles & hair locks.It would be perfect for all those newspaper clippings, artwork, photos & more!





*PUMPKINS*

I REALLY AM OBSESSED LOVE PUMPKINS. 

 I GROW THEM IN MY BACKYARD. 

 WE HAD A GREAT YEAR FOR THEM WITH ALL THE HEAT. 

 

THIS YEAR I TRIED TO MAKE SOME FUN FABRIC ONES

 TO HELP BRING SOME FALL SPIRIT INDOORS. 

LETS JUST SAY I GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY!

LAST I CHECKED THE TOTAL OUTCOME WAS OVER 20!!!

 

 

 

I CAN'T TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THE IDEA. 

IT WAS A PINTREST FIND & A GREAT TUTORIAL:

I've sold quite a few, although sales seem to be slowing way down.

Thanks for stopping by MN Junker. 

 I encourage YOU to try making a fabric pumpkin.

Cross It Off

Well, I can cross Junk Bonanza off my "bucket list". 

The event in Shakopee Minnesota mid September was WAY better than I expected. 

My mother, sister & I met up there to see what all the fuss was about. 

 

 

 

Ki Nassauer signed my tin.

  It's going to be featured in the Flea Market style wedding magazine in January!

 I picked it up to check it out & the vendor told me all about it. 

 Of course I fell for it, hook line & sinker. 

 

The story is that a little old lady kept yarn in it, so that explains the hole on the lid.

The price was right & I felt that some creative alterations could give the lid a make-over.

 

 

 

Mom & I splurged on our first cans of Annie Sloan Paint.

I've been aching to try it, so now I can!

 

 

 

I came away from J.B. with lots of chicken scratch notes.

Idea thief?  Guilty.

 

What did I pass on & now regret?

$45 olive bucket

 

What else did I buy?

 

$2 each

 

 

$5

 

$1.50 each

 

 

...and 2 tee shirts.

 

Now, the "biggie" item that I drooled over the most:

 

Isn't it great?

Way out of my league.

 

We left the show with smiles and "trucked" home.
