Hey all, this is just a quick post to let you know that if you want to follow along on my junkin' journeys you should follow me over on Instagram. I just haven't had to time to post content here, but I wanted to let you know that it doesn't mean the junkin' has slowed down at all. I hope to be back here again one day, but for now, this isn't in the cards. I do hope you'll pop over and follow me there.
See you soon,
Melissa

I took a couple days off of work before I left for the 127 Yard Sale, which occurred last week. I planned to just relax and run a few errands before leaving for 9 days of awesome junking -- pictures will come sometime soon.
Anyways, I was browsing Craigslist when I came across the title "Never Been Gone Through Estate 40 Years." First, I cringed a little because of the grammar, but thought it may be worth my time to go. Of course, I asked mom to tag along to be an extra set of hands!
Ladies and Gents, we were not disappointed. In fact, it was one of those sales that y ..read more

It has taken me so long to get all these pictures because I bought SO MUCH stuff during the US 40 Yard Sale this year. The above picture were my Day 1 finds.
A rusty crusty wheelbarrow for $5? Who can turn that down?
Another cooler for my collection. It currently resides on my front porch.
This was Day 2, when everything was still boxed. It also includes 2 items not pictured below: an old red rocking motel chair and big heavy white door.
This was Day 2 unboxed. It was a pretty spectacular day
An old greeting card rack.
Never used GREEN cha ..read more

So, I've been trying to find time to tell this story for nearly a month now.
For nearly 4 weeks to be exact.
Some of you who follow me on Instagram may have seen these photos.
But, I'll never tire of seeing photos of what I'm calling...
The. Most. Epic. Yard. Sale. Ever.
Period. Hands down. Bar none.
You take all the cans that were going to go in the dumpster to find gems like this.
Nothing will ever beat this.
Seriously. Look at those tin toys!
Original Erector set? Check.
Aqua Tom Thumb typewriter? Check
Glass minnow trap?

We had our first truly nice weekend this past weekend! I went around town to a few garage sales that had popped up and I was not disappointed.
No wild and crazy junkin stories for you this time, just a few pics for you.
This cool Pan-Am zippered tote.
Large enamel tray, blue aluminum ice mold, mini tonka truck, and a thermos in original box
Styrofoam can coolers from a local university.
Books from a church rummage sale.
Always pick up old cookbooks!
Now starts a theme!
I found a lot of vintage Christmas, including some books.
