Can anyone say Zooloo time? Here's a little goodie I nabbed along the junking road. Awesome!! It is a military clock from a base that is no longer in existence. This will be right at home at my home base.

The bootie!! Unpacking the car when you get home is almost as much fun as shopping. Take a look at the theme I have going here. I never really plan it out this way, but it always seems like at the end of a shopping trip all of my purchases have something in common. Go figure!

My first buy of the weekend came from Amy's Junkologie booth. I didn't stop there! How cool is this?! I had to snach it up before Lani saw it because. as we all know she collects 7s. Oh well, all is fair in love and junking!

I saw this out of the corner of my eye, stopped dead in my tracks, made an about face, and bought this. Mmm.mmm,mmm, delicious.  A front piece of a gas pump may seem like junk, but I know just what I'm going to do with this treasure. Can't wait for the transformation to begin! Keep an eye out for it in the upcoming weeks.

In the meantime it will provide hours of fun as a photo op prop. Here is the adorable young couple I purchased it from. It was great to see not only young shoppers out and about at Oronoco, but new young vendors as well. This young man just recently opened his own shop in Madison, Wisconsin and I think it's safe to say that junkers will uncover some very cool stuff at his new junk outlet.

Yummy, yummy fabrics! This vendor always has the leg up on textiles at Oronoco. They are a little pricey, but yardage employed carefully can go a long way. These tickings were to die for. What a selection of color! Next year you can find her right around the corner from the information booth.

Her barkcloth selection is also extensive. The two textiles mixed together are like peanut butter and chocolate. I consider vintage textiles to be a delightful junker's splurge!

Moving on down the road to Brian and Billy's. Thes guys always have the goods. Much of their stuff is re-purposed and ready to go, but you can also find stuff in the rough. Their booth has a fabulous industrial feel and you know that will get me jazzed everytime. The base of this table is made from industrial car ramps. Love!

These hanging light fixtures from Brian and Billy's were also very cool. Even though they are industrial I think they could play well in just about any decor. If you haven't been bitten by the industrial bug yet, I highly recommend you throw a few key pieces into the mix at your home. Me thinks you'll like the look!

This is what rolled in from Ohio via the Candy and Kathy mobile. Kathy knows I love me my scooters and this one's a dream. It's going to be rolling into the water closet next for a little bathroom re-purpose. This is not all the girl's brought with them. They came bearing loads of gifts, including their Editor's Challenge items, chocolates, and of course some inexpensive white wine. Candy apparently reads the posts very carefully. Too funny ladies. Thanks a bunch for the goodies and for putting up with me and my ways this weekend! You rock!

A day without an E is like a day without orange juice and sunshine. I also found this at Junkologie. Amy had oodles of groovy letters available for purchase...a junker's staple in my mind!

Ah,hahaha! Some things just strike my funny bone. My long time guy pal was in town this weekend and I purchased these in his honor. He resides in New York and always teases me about the number of blondes that call Minnesota home. I have no idea what these are, but I do know that they are hilarious. Who has more fun than a blonde junker?! I suspect I may have opened a can of worms here and will be hearing words of contest from my red headed and brunette junking friends! Let the battle begin...
