When my brother Les told me about his pending garage sale, I kinda figured he’d get rid of some cool stuff. He’s been a collector for MANY years. But know what his answer was? “I don’t think there’ll really be anything valuable to you. It’s all kinda just junk that you probably wouldn’t want. I […]
My sweet Grandma lived only 10 minutes from us while growing up. I never knew my Grandpa as he passed on way too early, so it was always Grandma’s house. Grandma’s place was kinda cool. It was a really old, cute home with one of those scary basement with cement walls, spider webs and creepy, […]
“I can’t start now, I’m too old!” I was met with a very unimpressed face. Â And a disgusted reply of, “SAYS WHO?!?!?” This very small but significant conversation transpired approx 4 years ago right before I fired up Funky Junk Interiors. The thing with birthdays is, they come once a year whether you want them […]
Ohhh the memories! Growing up on the farm was an amazing life! I also clearly remember all my favorite toys like it was yesterday. Footies, Easy Bake Oven, Jane West and all her gear, Barbies, Clackers, Flatsy, Kiddles, Etch a Sketch, Chrissy, Tippy Toes, black velvet horse posters and of course, Gumby and Polky. (check […]
This post was about missing my Mom at Christmas, but it applies to any occasion. You have the power to choose joy. Read on… – – – – – I drove into town the other day, thinking nothing really of it. Until I happened to go by my mom’s condo complex. I slowed down and […]
It’s an exciting and busy season right now. With Bella Rustica (story here) only a short 2 weeks away, my FOLK Magazine Christmas writeup due this Saturday, and helping put together a family slideshow for Cindy’s Celebration of Life coming soon, my DIY plate is a little on the shy side. So I felt this […]
I could never have planned last week in a million years. We had planned to go camping. Work was cleared off the calendar, and I worked at deadlines so the time could be freed up. But there were always delays and reasons not to get out the door. And now I know why. Little did […]
Remember the branch handled tray I created for Mother’s Day? As promised, I used it for that very day, with someone special in mind. I made it for both of us after all. (photo heavy post on tray and the outdoors) … continued … I took my mom on a little picnic. And I knew […]
Everyone, this is my mom, Agatha. (pronounced A Ga Tha, not Aye Gatha) I grew up on a 40 acre dairy farm. I don’t remember having fancy things, however I remember living in an old farmhouse, plenty of space to run, a never ending supply of food on the table and above all […]
While most of you would no doubt drool over priceless antiques, a chunk of barbed wire had me salivating during a recent junkin’ trip. Surprised?!? 🙂 Especially with fancy schmancy camera angles and against the right backdrop.. totally drool worthy material here. Add a little rope, moss, leaves off the lawn and a scrumptious Jeanne […]
