FUNky JUNK

Well trained eye? More like eye in training. Things that grabbed me today...

...a jadeite (ish) pepper shaker



..an old bread factory loaf pan (I think???) to store collections



...an old black clock that still ticks, rather loudly


...a very big old graduated baby (?) bottle to add to the crusty shelf


...another big jar for $1


...and lastly two unusual items that are project bound. Here is a little hint...



Today was an exciting day on the hunt. As you can see I found some cute small items, some of which were from the thrift store.

I use to be a haphazard collector. I'd just buy whatever caught my eye. I'm enjoying collecting so much more now that I have set limits on what to grab. I look for things that add to an exhisting collection and I try to group things by color, style and even age. I'm still learning how to control my urge to buy something I fall in love with. If it doesn't fit with my existing decor I leave it on the shelf. That's one of the reasons I love blogging! I love to LOOK at log cabins and dark european decor and even retro stuff...I love it all but I don't buy it. I find cool niche blogs and admire from afar.

Thank you so much for coming by to look. If you know anything about the history of any of my items shown I love hearing about it!

Have a thankful Thursday-
♥Linsey
