Iowa.......

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!!

Prized Possessions

I picked up these photos at a flea market yesterday, these are some of my favorites photos, I adore the ones of children at play, bicycles, animals, horses, pets and flags.










These were their prized possessions, a reminder of simpler times...... something we should all reflect upon.

It Makes A Great Photo.....

We went to Lincoln for the Nebraska game last night but when we woke this morning we had a coating of the white stuff covering the ground as well as falling from the sky.

As we travel towards home I always make my husband drive through small towns to check out the main street just in case there is a place I need to investigate for junk. This sign is what I found so had to snap a photo of it, the white stuff made it perfect.

The roads were the opposite, not so perfect. We made it home safely, got a fire in the fireplace, and are hunkered down for a snowy few days. If you are in the path of the snow, break out the hot chocolate and your favorite blanket.
