This fab yellow toolbox reminded me of Jims oilcan vase.  Love it!! 
The more I found myself knee-deep in junk, the more I had to pull myself together.
Go West young junker!  Apparently this weathervane is trying to tell me something. 
Just chillin with my old gas can.  Should I tackle a junk lamp with this one??? 
Everyone has a wood thing they dont know to do with...or even know what it once was for that matter, right?
This is all I could fit in my car since my girls claimed dibs on the seats. For more of the story and additional photos, please visit my blog at Junk Sophisticate.

You can't go wrong when you leave a place with a carload of junk!  A visit to my parents' house allowed me to do just that.

That's why I come to this site...you all are full of ideas for me to 'repurpose' all of the junk laying (or is that lying?) around my old tobacco barn. Thing is...once it's repurposed, what do I do with it then?!!! Posted: 7:24 am on October 22nd

Too much fun - can't wait to see what you do with it!

I am soooooo glad you love junk. I am sure there will be more to come.! They really have some awesome junk (not sure if there is bad junk). My children will probably not be as Enamored! It sound like the girls also had a great time too.
Smiles, all around!

georgiamoon writes: Candy you are SO funny. I would go visit my parents on a really regular basis (with empty seats) if I could get great junk like this. This looks like a photo from a GREAT day at the flea market...not a trip home to visit the folks! I would be ecstatic to find this stuff ANYWHERE....they didn't charge you, did they??? Love it ALL, Georgia Posted: 5:05 pm on May 11th

monakent writes: WOWIE - what a haul!!! You made out like a bandit (as the saying goes). I am SOOOO happily jealous of you. Are your parents looking to adopt more children??? I'd like to share the wealth too. I LOVE everything shown here. You must be the favorite child (either that, or your parents junst wanted to clean house). Sure wish MY parents would have cool stuff like yours. Too funny about your girls claiming the seats! :o)

Congratulations Candy. Can't wait to see where this all ends up. gailmarie Posted: 2:50 pm on May 11th
