Friday we took off in hopes of an adventure, big junk finds, and good weather to do it in. We came up with all three....
I have a special place in my heart for old movie theatres, they are becoming an extinct species...
Showtime 7:30, well we won't be catching that show, the junk is calling.....
Bingo!! I found a barrel of stuff, and lots of them......
Some furniture, matter a fact a whole warehouse full.....
Just a few wooden shoe lasts...... approximately 200 of them!!!!!
Several old mantels, this jewel was just $975, quarter sawn oak, massive, and beautiful......
Bingo again, thread spools from an old factory, the man says there is 12,000 of them, you think he is right? Threw some of those in the trailer.......
The husband checking out the old side shed....... and what does he find?
A pile of widow's peak, only 80 some of these......Overall, the day was a success, we came home with piles of junk and a few extras, the weather held out, and we did have quite an adventure, 250 miles of junking joy, even found a few new places that I have to discover yet. But that will be later, stay posted!!

Maybe one of these days I will get to go on a junkin' trip with you! Even if I don't have a dime to spend it would be an adventure because you always find the best junk and always piles of it!

ReplyDeleteTHANKS SO MUCH for your note Lovey....I'm THRILLED to have broken loose & am looking forward to hitting the road in search of the good stuff....I only HOPE I'm able to find WAY COOL Treasures like you came across on this Iowa trip....!!
I had a chuckle to myself though 'cause when I looked at your pic re Mark Walberg appearing at the theatre in 'Fighter' & then read down to your comment where you wrote, "I have a special place in my heart...." ....My mind raced ahead thinkin', "I hear ya Sister....I have a SPECIAL place in my heart for Mark too"....But of course I was WAY OFF 'cause you went on to say, "....for old movie theatres...."....hahahahaha....Mind you I DO have a special fondness myself for old theatres also....hahahahaha....
