Cool Junk!

As a first time visitor to Ki's Junk Bonanza, I was blown away by the amazing treasures filling the aisles and tables. Although I started out shopping with Jenny Mead, I soon realized that that kind of shopping has to be done alone: a personal experience, if you will. It has always been my way to carefully examine nearly each and every item in a shop that I like. The Bonanza was like having everything I ever wanted under one roof.

Shopping heaven...in technicolour!

I also realized that I could easily be swayed to change my entire decorating style based on one strategic purchase. Cool junk abounded under each roof, and if I could have brought home any of the following items, I'd have been a happy girl, indeed.

Check out this wall of galvanized lockers from Mustard Moon. I couldn't fit them all into my puny camera screen, but you get the picture:

Who could ever get enough retro letters?

More metal baskets, perfect for a mudroom or pantry:

This doll house, with its jaunty orange roof, would be just perfect for a spooky Halloween scene. It didn't fit in my suitcase, however...

I tried to convince Matthew that this would be the perfect Halloween costume for him. A sword and a pair of tights, and he'd be good to go!

Now, this is a much better use of a tire as a planter than what some country folk do.  A few strategic cuts, a wash of paint and an old wheel well and it is ready for some fall mums!

Last but not least, this is Ki's little friend. He is missing an, ahem, appendage, but I turned him around and he went about his business. You just might be seeing more of him...in time.

So, have I sold you on joining us next year??
