American Pickers Dream

I know you've heard of the guys of the American Pickers show, while some are die hard fans that faithfully watch the show or maybe you don't and you've just seen them in passing, either way, I stopped at a place the other day that could be considered as the American Picker's Dream place to stop.

The junk is literally piled higher and deeper and you have to crawl on top of stuff to just reach what you think might be something good.  For fun I thought I'd show you some pics of this place:

I may go back and get this arbor.  It was cool but even pricey at a junk shop.

A lot of us strive for this look when we are setting up our displays, but here it just comes naturally:

Loved loved this, but again a bit pricey:

Yes, you would think prices would be better here, but I get the feeling the owner doesn't really care if anything sells.  He's just happy to have more junk.


See what I mean about all the junk piled up:

And this was a pretty cool looking cubby piece.  Lots of metal things were in this back part of this area.  I did find a few pieces.  He didn't even give me discount for hauling them up to the front, oh well, at least I was happy.  Sanford and Son would have been happy here too, it kind of reminded me of them.  

It could be a little scary digging through things here because you didn't know if you moved something if a snake, spider, or angry wasps would come toward you. I guess with the cooler weather we've had in Texas we didn't encounter any of these and it didn't seem to mind the owner that you dig around in his property. After all, this is a true "junk shop". Now, just don't ask me where it's at, I do have to keep some things a secret you know!!

 

Check back this week for several great places we stopped at and two Open Houses we went to this weekend.  Can't wait to show them to you.  Happy Sunday!!
