Junk Party .....

Welcome to a new meme called Junk Party over at Kennesha's house http://menmyhouseblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/okay-its-that-time-are-you-guys-ready-i.html#comments She wants to see all of your finds, and what you did with them.....come by and join the fun....

Well..... Y'all I have to say I'm a full blown Junkaholic, no ands, ifs or buts about it.... the picture above is just a portion of a one day shopping spree...I just can't help it, I'm addicted...BIG TIME....

If you look close at the picture right behind the rolling pin, you can see a set of canisters, $4.00 for the 4 peices, I took the set and changed it to this, isn't it pretty, I sold this set to a lady in Yonker's New York for over $100.00 for her store.......I spray painted them red, painted white Chickens on them and Bammm, like new...who wouldn't want to have them in their Country kitchen...

This breadbox also $4.00, is in the right hand corner and I painted it with a fresh coat of white, trimmed it with red and painted a loving chicken couple on the front. Sold this also for a nice profit on Ebay....

Next item from the picture is this alumnium bun warmer I got for 2.00. It got the red treatment and the cute couple on it and it went to Yonker's also, for a very nice profit...

This next item was found on a trip to Hattiesburg when I went to Dr over there, it was in a little Thrift Shop and had $5.99 on it, well it is as cute as can be and has hooks on the back to hang it on the wall, but there was no way I was paying $6.00 bucks for it, so I talk and walked and talked some more finally she came down to $3.00 so I said "OK"...I guess I can do that....

And this is how it turned out, I really liked it, wanted to keep it for myself, but was talked out of it by a friend, she has it hanging in her kitchen with a set of wooden canisters that I painted setting on it.

The next item I found in a TS for 2.00 and it just didn't seem right for red or chickens it screamed prim.....

And this is how it turned out...I use it for holding odds and ends...like pens and pencils

Last but not least and certainly not all I have to show, but better keep it short...lol..yea right, I can't do small or short blogs.....

This is a grease can that I have shown before and it sure looks better redone, cute enough as is, but........

Fantastic redone, it now sits in my kitchen with my other black and white rooster items....

Hope you enjoied looking at my trash to treasure items today at the Junk Party.
