Well, look who’s first up in line over at HGTV.com HERE.
This was by far a category made for me so I submitted a few of my projects. You’ll also see some well known blog superstars in the mix so I challenge you to ‘name that photoshoot!’ when you glance through them. 🙂
Thanks Farima at HGTV! I’m thrilled to be a part of this!
Let’s see… what else… big agenda today…
I was going to wait until I received a copy to tell you that I’m featured in Flea Market Style Magazine. However many of you are already holding one in your hands, you lucky ducks!
And just maybe if I can hunt one down myself, I’ll throw on some movie star sunglasses, sign a copy and send it to one of you…
“Well, these are taken! Keep lookin’!”
(This is my friend Sonny btw. And you don’t want to see the rest of this pic. )
And just maybe I’ll do that every time I’m IN a magazine from now on to celebrate it!
Word has it that the mag article is making quite a stir.
“Oh my stars…. I must try this!”
And just when I thought my demographic was mostly women…
“HAHAHAAA! NO WAY! Who IS this girl? I need to go find her. Because I’m awesomely single, cute, I build, I made a coffee table out of rusty gears, and I have a killer plaid jacket collection! Oh. I love cats and love cat hair even MORE. And I’d cook and have the coffee pot on all the time for her so she could just create. Dumpster diver too?!? Well rust my bucket! Wait, she says that too!”
But word is getting out to the famous as well….
“Woaa baby… Momma! Takalookatthis!”
“THIS… is DEEP.”
“*SOB*… I can’t hold it together! Nate, call this girl to NYC! She can crate up MY stairs!”
“Thanks for the tweet, Liberty! I’m on it! This is outstanding junk! Can someone ring up a limo suitable for a Canadian junkin’ sign fanatic?”
“This’ll do, eh boss?”
“Nate! I loved the limo!”
“FJ Donna, I can’t believe you’re really here! Hot new perm by the way…”
“Do a little junkin’ and coffee later?”
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
And then this!
I know. I can barely believe it myself. Thanks Val!
“Do a little junkin’ and coffee later?”
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
I know. How silly. 🙂 And for the record? I have the highest respect for the stars above. For they are displaying a talent and status most could only dream of.
But I hope this feeling of humble elation never leaves, even with the smallest features somehow, somewhere.
Thank-you Flea Market Style and HGTV! I’m so honored!
Which only proves…
Oh my Lord! You are TOOO funny. Especially love that “Junk It : the Movie”…had to do a double take ’cause I thought that was you in the picture for a second :P.
It’s all so exciting! Congratulations!
Looks to me like you’ve worked hard and deserve these recognitions…and it goes without saying, you’re a hoot.
I think my favorite part is the very last quote about wasting time. 🙂
Okay now I HAVE to have that issue of flea market style!!! I know at least two of the bloggers in it! Congrats and you deserve it all!! 🙂
Funny post but so true about blogging.
I got my copy of Flea Market Style and was so excited to see you in there. This post is to funny and I love the quote.
Congratulations, Donna!! I saw the magazine this weekend and was so stinkin’ proud to call you my blog friend. 🙂 (I can call you that, right?) 🙂
The best is yet to come….

I’m so excited now that my DD works at Barnes & Noble she can bring my favorite zines home to me right when they hit the shelves. I think she’s figured out that this is one way mom will always be giving her money!
Congrats on the HGTV spot! Yay you! When will they give you your own show? 🙂 Just think’n ahead!

Thanks, Donna, for the shout out for those of who just participate sporadically…and that no time is wasted if you’re having fun! Perfect analogy.
Of course, I can see you in many venues in the future…You go girl!
Also, got my Flea Market Style magazine through another blogger…and it is terrific and not a blogger I didn’t recognize…guess I’m IN THE KNOW!
Best regards,

I think you should play yourself!!! lol Funny post and congrats! Can’t find Flea Market Mag around here, have been looking for sometime…going online….and get a copy!!
I love your can do attitude! No stopping you!!! Great job!
Oh my gosh Donna, you’re hilarious! And Congratulations. You deserve it all! You work so hard and you’re authentic. I love Valerie and I totally think she should play you.
Donna,
You are a rock star!
Congrats on HGTV – I was just looking at it!
What a coinky-dink.
And, I need to get my little on Flea Market Style. That baby is right up my alley.
All the best!
I keep seeing the Flea Market Style magazine and I WANT it, and I keep asking around here at all the shops and I get a deer in the headlights stare! I also want the Flea Market Garden to no avail! I will keep on looking, guess I will check on line. Love the post, by the way. You always brighten my day.
Well, I think the next SNS should be Junky Sunglasses. I have some ideas already. Waiting with bated breath (whatever that means) for the desk reveal. Give us a few hints – is it 12 feet long? 16 feet? What will come first, Gaddafi’s resignation or the desk reveal? Ann
Love the post! My mother in law says “Kiss old rusty” instead of….Gotta love the rust! I’ve cut back on frantically trying to make something just to link up….what is this crazy world coming to?? Relax and enjoy….
Nutbird, 12 feet. 🙂
Donna
Congratulations for all the wonderful, well deserved things happening for you. Sometimes I think all of those kinds of things would be awesome to happen to me and other times I think, no way. I’m looking forward to some of those themed link ups!
You are so fun Donna! Love the idea of a movie and Valerie as you. Congratulations on the magazine and HGTV, you deserve it 🙂
You are a highlight of each day of blog reading. You teach, you provide humour, you enlighten. Thank you for continuing, for sharing.
Wow! How exciting! Two major features…you’re totally famous! And I was cracking up at your fantasy fame convos at the end. 🙂
Yay Donna! You are so funny and so talented! I love the sign about time not wasted. Makes me feel so much better 🙂
Keep it coming…
Becky C
So glad blogland and junkland are treating you good! You’ve worked hard for it…well deserved!

You are a CRAZY woman and if you keep doing these kinds of blog posts I’ll have to invest in Depends for when I pee my pants laughing!
Congratulations all around!
Congrats to you!! Thanks for the laugh, even though it all could be reality; after all, the stars are just people like us, right?! 🙂
I’ll have to find that magazine. Looks like a good one!! (I’m not up on what’s out there in magazines. My scoping out the magazine aisles have ceased for a while whilst I generally shop with 3 little ones.
