Signs, Signs Everywhere a Sign....

In my recent travels I have been taking a few photos of signs I run across, thought I would share some of them with you....

This sign is at the entrance of one of my favorite junking locations out in the country...

Always love those bowling signs....

What do you suppose this was on, a railway car?

Speed Zone ends, ends where?

The sign we all love to see....

WE can't have this sign near the spaces where I store my junk, no limits there....

Dog and Subs, Rockford, Illinois, we recently visited it, my husband use to go there as a kid and buy a gallon of root beer and carry it home.....

Love the color, and the mighty small town....

I"m out on a buying trip at the moment but am taking lots of photos so I can share my adventures with you, stay posted for all the great things I found and seen.

What Can We Do With These?

I saw these on the Junk Jaunt in September, I absolutely love the patina, the color and the spectacular designs that are on these old cast iron radiators. These came out of the Holy Trinity rectory in Hartington, Nebraska. They are just beauties......

I'm challenging all of you to come up with great ways to use them. Now put on your thinking caps and let me know what you come up with. I'll be waiting.....

Happiness and Heartbreak All In One Day

Here is my happiness for today.... these great old photo studio cases I snagged from an auction today...

And a few other things to add to my happiness.... Notice the record player, been looking for one so we can play old records at the shop and bingo, I scored one today!

This is part of my heartbreak cause I didn't get this one but it did go to a good home, the lady who use to work for the studio for 15 years, isn't it amazing.....

These are the kind of machines that cause me heartache....

Especially when they are parked next to an cool old building like this.....

Check out the wonderful architecture on the top of this old beauty....

I am guessing it is going to be the next casualty of a demolition....

They have it all fenced off and the equipment setting there waiting for morning to come, I am going to make a few phone calls in the am to see if I can talk someone into salvaging some of that great old tin architecture from being destroyed, wish me luck!
