Confessions of a Junk store Junkie

2010 in review...
I am definitely addicted to thrift stores...but I don't see it as a problem, yet!

I really enjoy setting up the photos...I find it interesting to see these pictures all at once...some of them I like, others, not so much!

So listen guys, I toy with the idea of opening up an etsy shop...but I really think that the shipping and the fees would be a hassle (I help my mom with her etsy shop, BettyLoop -- SHAMELESS PLUG!)...

I tell you what, if there is ever an item that shows up and YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO HAVE IT...bid me (send me an email and we will go from there)...sometimes I may not want to let an item go (like my $5 chairs, or my pyrex bowls - no way!!), but most of the time, I am pretty easy!  just sayin! sharing means caring!

  1. I totally get this. I love me some thrift too. But where do you keep everything? And don't you find that sometimes the things look better in photographs flooded with natural light??
    That's what happens to me.
    You found some really pretty things this year!

  2. Those are all good finds. I tried clicking on the picture but it doesn't get any bigger. Is there a link I can go to see those items in more detail? Thanks.

  3. This makes my thrifty heart beat with joy. I LOVE it. And I'm obsessed with that birdy pepper shaker fella.

    I think opening up an Etsy shop is fun but I agree, the shipping, ugh, the fees are ridiculous. I do like your idea of emailing you if we want something. Either way, fabulous stuff all round. Thanks for stopping by earlier. I'm definitely painting my chandelier. Have a happy, thrifty weekend!

  4. Hi Kim! I think "where do you store everything" is the top question people ask me...we have a large sideboard in the dining room, I have some things on the shelves in the storage room...and at the tippy top of the kitchen shelves (our cupboards go up to the ceiling)

    Hi AM DV! All of these photos are from previous posts...if you go to my sidebar, click on the category called 'junk' you can easily scroll through extra large versions of the photos...

    Hi Old Brand New! I'm happy to dropped by for a visit! I linked to your site in my friday fever post, did you catch that? I can't wait to see what you do with the chandie!

  5. I love all the pics displayed like that!! It's art work!!

    I think you have found nothing but treasures, as you have a keen eye!!

    As for an etsy shop, save yourself the hassle of the shipping rates, Canada Post is a joke!!
