JUNK SALE JUNKIES

It has been a while since my sister and I ventured out Junking. First of all, the weather has been crazy, and second, I have just been WAY too busy with other important things..WHAT??? too busy for junking?? YIKES..

So, listening to the trustie weather guy, it was suppose to be a beautiful day for junking,,ha,,wouldnt that be funny if they said that?  I was up bright and early , with all the must have junking supplies, looked outside,,looked pretty windy, nothing new around here, so I wrapped up warm , and off I went to pick up my sissy. 

We always try to make a game out of it, so this week we had to accomplish 3 things each. #1-find something that we can Sling on ebay that all we have to do is snap a pic and list, Love that word, Dont you? "Sling"
#2-Find something to repurpose #3 Find something Pink

First stop,,A HUGE rummage sale at one of the High School, we were the first ones there, IMAGINE THAT. The only problem with being the first one, is that everyone had not finished unloading, and since we were anxious to get going, being our first junking day for the year, we scrambled through what was there, found some goodies, and off we went to the next.  And by the way,,It was FREEZING , with blowing wind, my sister didnt dress for that kind of weather, so we didnt stay long at each location because she was freezing..There were yard sale signs up EVERYWHERE, we just love seeing the multi colored signs all over the neighborhood. Unfortunately we took my little mustang, BIG mistake, I could have filled a truck. So we had to settle for filling my little car to the top .

A very successful day, I must say. Here are some of the items I found. THis is just a little bit . I didnt feel like taking pictures of everything today. But These are items that are already being REPURPOSED!!
LOVE THAT.

Ill show these when Im all done, making them Pretty.   Today, being Sunday, and the day was beautiful , perfect for spending the day outside getting some fresh air. I already sanding down the table, and it will have a fresh coat of primer and cottage white paint by the end of the week , weather willing. My little Milk glass lamps will have the wood and brass painted white, and new shades made custom just for them, I love doing this, but I hate giving them up in the end, but that is why I do it, Its my little income, so I can keep doing it :)

As for our little game, I found a couple things to SLING, a bunch of stuff to repurpose, but couldnt find anything PINK !   Maybe next week.

Hope Everyone had a wonderful weekend, And I hope you all remembered to SPRING your clocks forward .

Happy Pink Saturday

Not much pink going on around my house the past 3 weeks, all preparations for my Sons Boy Scout Eagle Ceremony in full force, as you read this , we will be celebrating his achievement.

We are so very proud of him, he has grown into a wonderful young man.

Another fun story this week , My husband is helping out with the renovation of a house for an Academy Award Nominated Actor, Jeremy Renner.  He was on The "Today" show when they announced the nominations for the Acadamey awards and found out there that he was nominated for Best Actor in the Movie 'The Hurt Locker". At that time they interviewed him and asked how he felt, and he said,,"Im going to have to "Break some Serious Legs" , I thought it would be fun to make him a hankerchief with that statement embroidered on it. My hubby gave it to him and he was very gracious .  Then later this week my hubby brought home the "People Magazine and told me to read an article in it. 

Jeremy mentioned the Hankerchief that I made for him, as his Lucky charm for the Academy Awards..WOW! I never expected anything like that.  Even though my name isnt mentioned, it is still one of the nicest things anyone has ever said.

All of our love and positive energy to him on his awesome achievement. He was really good in this movie.He totally deserves it.

I want to thank Beverly for hosting Pink Saturday

Its always so much fun

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Pink Saturday

Hugs to all :)

Happy Valentines Day

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentines Day!!
Its sunny and 70 in So. Cal, today. PERFECT. Im taking advantage of having all my windows wide open , Air out the Winter gloom.  It may not last long , and Ill have to close up all the windows again.

My youngest wanted to make valentine cookies,,yes, he is 10 and still wants mom to do stuff with him, I know that the preteens will hit soon, and he wont want anything to do with me until he is 24  :(  so I suck up all of it, as much of it he wants to give me until then. He wants to be a chef, but is the pickiest eater ever. I told him he needs to at least try everything, and as you get older your tastes change and you may like even more, but at least give everything a chance especially if your going to be a chef, How will you know if it tastes good if you wont even eat it. He loves cookies though, so maybe he can be a pastry chef.  I know that will change too. My middle guy wanted to be a Paleontoligist for as long as I can remember, but now at 18 and getting ready to go to college, he wants to write and produce music for Movies . BIG DIFFERENCE.
So , again, I hope everyone has time to Hug your kids today, and have a beautiful and safe Valentines Day
