Naysayers...keep your thoughts to yourself.

I think there is definitely a big divide between those who love and aprreciate junk and those who do not.  I appreciate junk.  I love the little dents, scratches and chips that an old piece or junk has because it shows that it has character, a life, a story behind it.   I do not like it when people say...and how many times have you---you, being junklovers---heard, "Where did you find that?   What are you going to do with that?" and always in a Nancy Negative Naysayer tone.   It drives me bonkers!  Now, I am very grateful that I am able to forsee how something will look after it is fixed up a bit but geez louise must I always be berated for my junk finds by naysayers!  I say long live junk.  But I guess thank goodness for those junk naysayers because then if everyone liked junk no one would be selling or throwing anything out and that, my friends, would not be good.  Here is a picture of one of my latest junk finds-old beautiful, yes it's busted up but just wait until this little number has had a spot of TLC.  Here are some pictures so you can see the before.

Thanks Joy! You are the best...I am glad you agree with my junk find-makes me feel much better to know that I am in good company. Love the pink picture-I was tortured on one of those timesharer thingys too-I believe time actually stopped while we were listening to their speech. At least you have a fab timeshare now though! Worth the pain. Talk soon....


that's a great score! it just needed to find you!! lots of people wrinkle their noses but then, they probably shop out of the Sears Catalog!

Love it!
Love it!
