Did you know today was Friday??
Cause I didn’t. I mean I did as in like for my daughters class Christmas party, but for some reason I didn’t connect that it was time for….
Gosh if this were a full time job that actually paid, I would be fired
Thankyousomuch.
So I’ll show you my junk if you show me yours….
No huge purchases this week. The DI seems rather dried up on craptastic furniture. Hopefully after Christmas it will get awesome again. Also did you know that my almost 2 year old says “Awesome” every time I pick something up to look at at the DI? (You know you’re a serial DIYer when….)
You know sometimes you see something so ugly you don’t know if you want to look at it again. That was the case with these fellows. I was immediately appalled by the neon colors and sweet air brushing. But I also kind of was intrigued enough to pick them up. They are banks and I thought “Self, how cute would these be painted white and glazed in Dylan’s room?” $3.00 they were mine. They make me happy every time I look at them.
Super cool lighthouse. $1.50
These ceramic seashells are really big. And ugly. I am going to awesomefy them for someone special for Christmas….$1.50 each.
So lets see yours!
Remember the (not so) strict rules….
1. Junk you have found
2. Crap you have made out of junk you have found
3. Anything that you have done that you would consider Crap or Junk.
4. Go an visit some of the other links and make friends…guarantee that whomever it is, is a ROCKSTAR cause they hang at Vintage Revivals.
Please use your “raw” junk as your linky image, its more fun that way….
Those are some great finds! Can’t wait to see how you transform them.
I spied YOU at DI today… I was the frazzled mom with two toddlers that dressed themselves who were screaming and crying because I wouldn’t rescue any toys today. Upon entering DI, I realized we looked like we belonged there! Sorry I didn’t make you feel like a celebrity by introducing myself (kinda had my hands full)
Hi Mandi. I posted my How to Repair Veneer post so that anyone who is finding craptastic stuff and needs to know how to do this, they’ll have a handy dandy lesson on what to do. If you don’t think it belongs in the link party, feel free to delete.
Hope you’re having a great week.
I picked up these two huge brass lamps at my favorite thrift shop a few weeks ago and they’re still in my trunk. I had been spying those lamps forever and scored them for half off! So maybe next week I’ll pull them out and snap a picture to add, because they’re pretty awesome 🙂
I am loving those banks. They are going to be fabulous!
I love finding crap and making more crap from it! I think those banks will be fab!
Ummmmm, creepy blog stalker confession… I spent a good portion of my evening (last night) sitting at the computer reading over almost all of your posts. I couldn’t help myself, I got sucked in by the awesomeness!
Kay totally loving the lighthouse.
Can I still post my floating dookie post??
I wish I had found something cool recently… I think i’m overdue for another thrift store spree!
