Got some junk in my trunk....

Well, not yet, but once I haul the Mister down to ol' Plainwell, MI I'm going to!

I met the fabulous "AMY" (wedding photographer extraordinaire) Wednesday for lunch and a chat.

This is the cutie that took our wedding pictures...

So anyway, Amy and I met up today in a little town for lunch and a quick trip to an antique/art shop.

I use to call on this town years ago when I worked for Kodak but since I called on retailers who we developed pictures for, I'd never seen the downtown.

We didn't have much time, but after a yummy lunch we headed to the cutest shop!!

They had a lot of furniture and accessories made by taking other pieces and parts and putting them together...❤ that!

I quick like snapped some pictures while my friend was chatting to the guy in the other room... I know some places are weird about people taking pictures IN their stores, so I went all "Secret Squirrel".

Ok, I've got rhinestones to heat set!

Stuff, stuff, and more STUFF!

Well, I've only been loading pictures for 3 hrs... NO joke! My connection is snoozer-ville slow today.... ugh! Well, let me show you what I do have loaded:

A few months back my cousins were going through my Grandma's things (she passed away a few years ago) & thought I might like to have her old "craft" supplies. I forgot what a crafty-gal Grandma was! This is my Dad's mom. She was from Tennessee & was one of those soft spoken southern gals with the tackiest taste ever (NOT that Southern Gals all have tacky taste... you've seen Mrs. Jennifer Hayslip from GA, haven't you? Go see her blog: Sweet eye candy creations!). Haha... she just liked all kinds of stuff like plastic doll heads with tea towels hanging from them.

Anyway, you can imagine my delight when I saw these giant metal boxes FULL to the gills with STUFF... some call it junk :)

This drawer had her high school autograph book full of witty quotes like: Be careful when you get home from a date, cause love is blind but the neighbors ain't! Oh yes, those kids were quite the cards...

Then there is the HUMOROUS MONOLOGUE book...written by: Mayme Riddle Bitney- with a maiden of Riddle, it only makes sense she would write a book like this! She's also the proud author of: Monologues: Grave & Gay. I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with homosexuals purchasing burial spots...

whole drawer full of..... itty bitty things...Darling Daughter is afraid of those doll heads... yeah, they ARE a bit creepy!

4 Vintage glass Christmas ornaments!!

I promptly smashed the green one after this photo by pushing the drawer in without making sure they were sitting on the bottom of the drawer....Grrrr! I made homemade glass glitter with it...

and then this box, not a lot of goodies in here, but a little bit of stuff & of course, the metal box!

There was another drawer full of trims & ribbons but it's almost 2 in the afternoon & I have been downloading these few pictures for hours... the 8 inches of snow we got must be interfering with my connection!

Have a geat day! I'm going to try those Mexican Hot Chocolate cookies later... Darling daughter was sick & there's nothing worse than a kid sneezing in the cookie dough!
