Junkin' is Dangerous sometimes ~

I think I have recovered from this past weekend in Charleston. I packed in my junkin' trips and even hauled along my sister and nephew. My sister doesn't get why I like what I like, but she goes with it!  It was pointed out to us that at least we don't fight over wanting the same item. No chance of that! I like old, she likes new. I like rust, she uses WD40.  She did buy a lamp at one of the antique stores though. I was so proud, there is hope for her after all! I had no trouble filling up the truck with rusty goodness and my table and chairs.

At one stop, it was raining so hard, I jumped out of the car to look at some stuff and slipped on the wet, rotted walkway and the next thing I know, I'm looking at the sky. It hurt. I was soaked and covered in wood chips.  Junkin' is painful, people!  Luckily it was only my arm and not anything vital, like my knee or head! Then I would have had to go home early!

Sunday, I helped a friend clean out her storage locker. After her divorce, she just packed up everything and stored it. She just couldn't face sorting it by herself.  Well, lucky for her, I love to sort and clean out JUNK. It's costing her $150 a month to store JUNK! And a lot of it was just that, JUNK! She did great making decisions about what to keep and what to donate and throw away.  We took 2 car loads to Goodwill, 2 car loads to a consignment shop and 2 loads to the dumpster.  We got through the majority of the stuff but we still need to sort through 25 boxes of books.  Our goal is to have her out of the unit by the end of the month. Anyway, that was my weekend.  Here are a few of my finds and a look at my horribly messy house...

Love this chair. Love it more because I don't have to paint it!
