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.
