Found Some Great Things At Bonduel, Wisconsin~

This was the first thing I saw when we arrived at Bonduel, Wisconsin. There were no signs of "junk" as we drove into the city but things were about to change. A few blocks into the city there it was.... a weary traveling junkers paradise. The brakes on the truck suddenly made the truck come to a screeching halt!

And the next best thing was that the sign said OPEN!!!

As we got closer you can see that it looked like any whole hearted junker would have to make the stop without driving by......

Antiques and more !!!!!!! and more..... and more....

These cool galvanized nail bins were one of the first things I spotted as I went up to the side door of the shop. After eyeballing them I was sure we could fit them on the truck, I'm not sure if it was could fit or would make them fit.

I love old radios, this one was especially cute and in excellent shape....

I have a thing for old cast iron school bells but the price on those babies are usually out of my range.......

Any chair projects??? They had the corner on the market.....

The guard dog who was happy to see every visitor, he had to come and greet me and the fam....

Love old bicycles too, this was a fabulous Schwinn, check out the emblem......

Thought this was quite unusual, have never seen one of these and it was authentic.....

My husband and sons calculating how all 16 of those nail bins were going to fit in the truck....

Jack decided to be an observer and stay out of the packing process and be a innocent bystander......

One last shot of the Schwinn......

We managed to get all the nail bins in the truck and tied down, we even made it home with out even losing a single one. They are such good packers!

By the time we arrived home after driving 2,140 miles, the truck went through several processes of full and empty. Full when we left home, empty when we left Minneapolis, half full when we left the "Soo", full when we left Bonduel, half full when we left Minnetonka, and full again when we arrived home that night. Wow! can you believe we changed our load that many times?......... Neither could my husband.

Now for all the powerwashing......

Here We Go - Let's Junk !

I started this blog so I can share with all of you my junking trips, experiences, friends, and junking spots. As a child I use to go to auctions with my parents every weekend. They would bring home truck loads of antiques for pennies. At the time I hated it, but it must have had some sort of influence on me because it's what I do everyday of my life now. I can't imagine doing anything else than loving junk for a living.

My mother and I had a antique shop 20 years ago, I had my own shop 10 years ago, and now I have a building full of junk that is open by appointment only. This is where I stash all my really good junk.

I do have a family too, 1 husband, 1 daughter, 3 sons, and 2 grandsons that keep me very busy. So if I'm not junking I'm at dance, basketball, babysitting or who knows what. Of course, I have trained all the kids to love junk and now have started training my 3 year old granson. He went on our first junking trip with me just last week. He loved it.

With that said, let's get going!
