YEARS AND YEARS AGO I BECAME A JUNKER BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD FURNITURE OR NICK NAKS. SO I WOULD HIT THE YARD AND GARAGE AND BARN SALES, GARBAGE PICK, AND FRIENDS HAND ME DOWNS. SO YOU CAN SAY, I AM AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE. PEOPLE LOVE TO SEE MY HOME JUST TO SEE WHAT ELSE I HAVE DONE. JUST RECENTLY I MADE AN ISLAND FROM A $10 DRESSER, 4 LEAVES FROM MY DINING ROME TABLE, WAINSCOTTING AND MOLDING. ITS THE BEST!!!! WHEN I SAW JUNKMARKET ON THE MAGAZINE RACK, I WENT NUTS. THIS IS ME!
