Two Pickup Trucks Full Later.... Junk Jaunt Sucess!!!


Here it is the first stop on out Junk Jaunt journey,  this is the one we hit first every year and has not disappointed us yet in three years, as you can see he anything from A to Z!


First purchase, a wire display rack, gotta love that!


Some new old stock children's watch bands, wire brushes, a perfume bottle and some crowns!


A turq bike, check out the snazzy bike seat.....


Boat motors..... 

  

More old brushes, books, and very cool roll of small cable for projects....


Stop number two, this is just the back of the building....


1963 Mercury, make an offer.....


Scoreboard....


some very cool old school chairs.....


Now this guy knows how to pack, wonder if he gives lessons?


This was a stop in St. Paul, looking a abandon, but inside they had the stuff....


Flat beds on every corner.....


A birdcage that I have seen popping up on someones blog already as the find of the day.....


Make a pile, pay a price.....


Meet Stacy and Lynnette from Netter's Treasures, they have a building full of goodies at the fairgrounds in St. Paul.  They were so happy to see us stop in, they are avid followers of the blog and lovers of the Flea Market Style magazine.  So nice meeting you guys!


Two of my favorite purchases, airplane propellers!!!!  Propeller love@@


My all time favorite scoreboard, but was already sold, darn!


An Indian print wool blanket....


These were such lovely ice cream chairs, and six of them!


An ugly lamp, with tulip globes....


This is a button quilt, this is a work of art!  scraps of material and 100's of buttons.  Some one painstakingly sewed each one of these on and even in a design!  Wow, this was spectacular in person!



A Cadillac limo, the back seat was as big as two seating areas.....


Souvenir scarves.....


One of my other fav buys, this old gate....


One of my favorite items, but just not in the budget.  Love the penny saver words,oh well, hopefully it found a new home.

So over all we had a VERY successful two days!  Will be posting pic of some of our finds and a few more stories about the journey.

Bachman's Fall Ideas House ~~ Beautiful!!


Amongst the Junk Bonanza we did manage to get to the Ideas House, but not until Sunday.  It was worth the wait, the house looks fab as usual, the Ideas House team did another fantastic job, it never disappoints, kuddos to the team!


A yard spreader gone plant holder.....


This ghost was so cool......


Gummey worms on a stick in mason jars filled with candies....


The fall party in the garage....


Mason candle jars hanging from an old bed spring in the porch...


Garden gate looking all pretty.....


Chair bench with storage, love those big old hinges....


Shoe form art.....


Old snap hooks made into shower curtain hangers.....


Chair back shelves.....


Cool old cubby box for storage behind the sink....


Widow's peak curtain rod......


Trunk lid gone frame collage.....


Grain scoop candle holders......


love this... an old mess screen with plinths and old rusty, curly hooks.....


Numbers... love anything with numbers....


Clever idea for books your kids don't use any more.....


pop crates with flash card backing....

Industrial table and chairs....


Another great use of flash cards and the blocks.....

Trunk lid table....


Very cool book shelves, love this....


Coffee table made from window frames and filled with printer blocks...

And last but not least, my favorite wall in the house everytime, a grouping of botanical prints arranged on old wood planks with a color painted on the wall for background.  Love, love, love this!!!

So there you have it in a nut shell, but make sure and hop over and see the house on your own, it is definitely much better in person, not to mention I couldn't photograph every idea, so there will be a few more surprises for you to discover yet.

And as I said, kuddos to the team of designers!
