Hiking

Here is what I have been up to lately--camping and hiking. I have to get busy painting and junking this week, I sold a lot at last week's farmer's market.

Child's Play

I picked up this children's adirondak chair at a garage sale for $3. It had seen a Montana winter or two and was peeling and weathered. After a little sanding and primer, I painted 'er up. I think I want a grown-up princess chair like this.

Junk Funk

Been in a bit of a junk funk. Tired of the clutter of it all--so I am trying to deal with what I got and have put a moratorium on purchasing anything. I have had a good week--only a teen and me home, and he is pretty much only home to eat and sleep.

Here is a moose I saw after taking my son to camp on Sunday. Hope you are having a good week!

Junk-Fest Hangover

I think I have had a Junk Fest hangover this week--have done little to no junking. I have been working in my yard and hiking with the kids and enjoying the beautiful weather. Here are some pictures from the sale--not great ones, I took them at the last minute. The sale was a success--in spite of the fact that is was freezing and rainy most of the day!


My friend Tina made these--don't you love the candle box?

These are Missy and Mary's booth--the owners of the Antique Barn where I have my stuff.

Getting Ready

Here are a few things I have ready for our show.

I made this sign--we stole the name junk fest from the North Dakota girls--we did have permission from them Ü.

I planted up an old ice cream maker-see the paddle in the top. This coat hook, purse hanger, etc. was made from the top of a different ice cream maker. I didn't have a complete one.

Here are some more junky plants on a cool tripod thingy I got at a garage sale for $3.

This wooden box was plain--I painted it and decoupaged the Little Red Riding Hood pictures on it (they are from a 1953 book).


This is a simple little side/drink table made from a tray and stool.

Oh, and some people wanted to see the green shutter plant hanger with flowers--I chose white lobelia (sp?) and white dragonsnaps.

Two Dollar Trunk Transformed

Here is the $2 trunk I got last week with a few coats of paint to tone down the bright blue that it was, and my swirls that I love.

I also painted up this little table that was a bright blue to start with, and this shutter that will hang on the wall for photos and letters.

Lots More Projects To Show

I am so behind! Sorry--last week was not the week to try to show you a project a day. First week of summer, hubby working 14 hour days in preparation of leaving for 3 weeks to take classes, rain (it is still raining today!). But this week you will see lots of things because it has to happen. I, along with 3 other ladies, are having a big junk fest this weekend with 30 + vendors! I have been making stuff, but now I really must kick it into high gear! Since I don't like to leave you without something pretty to look at, here is an old project, a drafting table that I painted with a matching stool.


And for a Monday morning laugh I thought I'd show you some goats on a roof in Victoria, Canada, because who doesn't love some goats on a roof.
