Ebay and Junkers!

I have been meeting a lot of fellow junkers lately, and its pretty cool seeing other people's stuff. I don't think anyone likes to reveal where they get their stuff from though! I don't want people to know I get a lot of stuff from garbage piles, but most of the people I meet who are in to old stuff like "clean" junk, and don't want to get dirty. Not me, I don't mind dirt and dust.

 And my mom's newest favorite mode of purchasing things is EBAY.... There are boxes showing up at least every couple of days!

NEWEST JUNK

Grey-Poupon Dijon mustard jar with spoon. I love this thing. It looks bigger in the picture then it is!

My mom bought this old coffee mill, turned lamp from a store. I want to paint the brass...but she doesn't.

Hanson scale (From Ebay). I love it! It goes well with my vintage ice crusher, and our GE 3 beater mixer.

Lysol bottles (From Ebay). One even has the label AND original cork (And there are some contents inside!). 

Not too sure why my mom bought this, but it IS old! a saw blade tin container. (EBAY).

Marking outfit for stamping metal, back from WW1! These were used to hand stamp dog tags. (Its missing 4 letters, but still very cool!)

Singer sewing machine Teapot (EBAY)

My mom's enamelware collection is growing heavily! And she has more pieces in the attic she has had for many years but I have not gone up there to drag them down yet.

Singer sewing machine foot pedal we found in a garbage pile... Why would they throw that away?  Now it is wall art until I figure out what to do with it!

Metric scale (EBAY)

Old rusty tools! I love these, very interesting shapes with some of these. And a couple random railroad ties. I am trying to come up with a windchime or piece of art using the singer sewing machine pedal, and these....

Another piece of enamelware I just picked up today from a fellow junker.

A rusty metal funnel (From fellow junker)

Rusty metal pitcher (From fellow junker)

Hand strainer. I actually pulled this out of a garbage pile on my way home from the fellow junker's house

Old cheese grater (From fellow junker). This actually also goes good with my vintage kitchen stuff.. 

Old metal strainer (From fellow junker)

Metal minnow bucket (From fellow junker)

Shabby chic corner shelf (Usually I don't buy stuff that is already upcycled, but it was a good deal). I didn't take a full picture of the lifeguard board pictured behind it, but I got it from the same garbage pile as the strainer,

Shabby chic milk stool (Another good deal I couldn't pass up).

That Is All For Now!

Even more new junk!

I am running out of names to title my posts... I can only call so many New Junk!

Teachers desk, and student desk (Vintage, solid oak).

My cat rescue friend who I have gotten a lot of my things from gave these to me!

My mom got this child's potty chair from an antique store

Horrible picture, I was too lazy to go back outside and take a better one! I got this metal shelf from my cat rescue friend, and the ladder from someone's curb!

My mom came home with this little phone

Mom got this from a yard sale

Singer sewing machine tray and tins (Came from an antique group I am in)

That is all for now!

EDIT TO ADD:

Kiwi shoe shining kit (Someone was throwing this in the GARBAGE!).

Phillips 66 oil can (From the 50s) and someone was also throwing this away! People pay a lot for these kind of things

Rival ice-O-mat ice crusher from the 50s. Got this at an antique store

Recent Nubbles pictures!

Did a cute little photo shoot with my baby Nubbles!

First it has been VERY hot, in the hundreds, the last few days and Nubbles needed to cool off:

And then modeling her new sun dress:

Thanks for looking!

Newest Project done!

We have had this dresser sitting in our driveway for a month now, and finally got to working on it. My mom did the sanding and prep work and added in the shelf on the bottom. I did all the painting. 

BEFORE:

AFTER:

It is being used for our Buddha/Indian stuff. We just need a few baskets to put on the bottom area.

Yard Sale Finds

We went to yard sales the last couple of Saturdays, and I am just posting pictures of our finds.

The two middle cans are our newest from a yard sale. The other two we have had for a while now.

Put some burlap down on our buffet table thingy we still haven't done anything with! It just holds our junk.

Quaker Oats tin (1982) I just bought at an Estate sale!

 My newest lantern

My little lantern collection

Dinosaur cookie jar I got from an Estate sale.. I don't know why, but I love her!

Got this bookshelf from my cat rescue friend who always gives me furniture and stuff! Thanks Deena!

The taller seaman belonged to my father, he got it from his father. Its atleast 100 years old. Its a little inappropriate because the top half lifts up and exposes his male parts! The two smaller ones we just got from a yard sale. (All are hand carved from wood).

An Indian pocket watch ashtray, really neat! Another great yard sale find!

This is not the least bit old, I bought it at Home Goods. But its an addition to our Dachshund collection

I am really regretting not getting the entire box of these Mcdonald's (And a couple non Mcdonald's) pins from a yard sale

Succulents!

Just a few random garden pictures!

 I just moved these guys to an area with more sun...They were in complete shade, and some are looking really good, but some are not because I think they needed more sun.

 These are my newest succulents

 This was just a tiny leaf from my neighbors plant, and now its getting pretty big!

 My garden helper, Callie. On one of my ladders I plan on having some potted plants on eventually.
