Good Junkin Day

Today we decided to head out to a different direction than where we would normally go junkin and I say it was a good day.  You know you are serious junkers to be up at 3am, but that's what time we were up. We wanted to hit the road by 4am and we didn't miss it by much time.  Coffee and homemade pizza bread in hand we were all set. 

We found so many great treasures.  Take a look:

Can you see my husband found another bike! A Schwinn no doubt. He's sold each one he's taken to the City Wide Garage Sale and this one will be there too.

I know you can't really tell by this picture, but can you see the awesome cabinet we found. It originated in someone's kitchen and when she decided to add "new cabinets" she took this one out.  My questions is why? Why would you part with such a great piece. Here's a close up:

It has the original glass door knobs on it.  And to give you idea how solid it is, it takes three people to load and unload it.  It's one solid piece and would look good anywhere.

I also found a great silver french horn from the 1800's that's engraved. A metal swing, loads of old screens, an industrial cart, industrial table, clothes rack (I've been on the hunt for one of these for a while), a fold up metal bed, an industrial stool that originally came out of gas station, old burlap sacks, a primitive ladder, old bottles, silver, ironstone, and several other things. I'll post pics hopefully tomorrow of all my treasures from the past two days that we found. You can find all this and so much more at City Wide during Thanksgiving weekend.

Another thing I love to do when we are on the road is stop and take pictures of old houses. I wonder why they are abandoned and no one seems to want them anymore. They always have such character:

If only they could talk.    Hope you are having a great weekend.
