Can we talk...

You know all that junk you got sittin' around the yard...
start puttin' it to use.

As the sedum starts to droop, put the cut stems in an old mop bucket,
the colors will stay when dried, the pink and rust hues
will last all winter when dried, the leaves will fall off and
the moisture will be consumed by your dry house
during the winter months.

I love wind chimes of all kinds...
I attached assorted cast away iron
on to an old ice saw, the clunk of a cow bell type sound
can now be heard around the yard...
here come the cows!!!

I love old sewing machines, but finding a use for the heavy beasts
is a burden. The old oak cabinets just don't go with today's
antiquing style, but tear it apart and you can find
lots of uses for the parts.

Use your noodle, look at a piece before you discard,
then save it for our first Spring flea market at
the Junk Revival...!

right next door to the Candle Shed...

but was in this Saturday...

BE AFRAID!!!

remember...what goes around, comes around...

Just gittin' started...


Well, I been thinkin'(scary)...

OK, here's the deal...
I have 6 acres of prairie scrub,
I now have my lil' shop on the prairie...
so the next phase is a
flea market for artisans and junkers.
You know...US...
the crazy peeps that build stuff
and sell stuff and create stuff.

I'm thinking maybe 3 shows in May, July and Oct...
or maybe even once a month,
of course that will probably change due
to other events, but it's a start!

I know there are lots of 'junker slash artisans'
that would love to sell their wares in a different location...
and why not.
So this is what the 'Junk Revival' is all about,
friends and trash...
gimme yer thoughts!

I know, I know...she's qwazy!!!
