I owe you all an apology.
I'm sorry.
You see, if you went out junking last weekend but you weren't able to find anything good, it's totally my fault. I was hogging all the Junk Mojo. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were some kind of non-stop junk bonanza for me, what with estate sales, garage sales and thrift store shopping. It was heady, it was junky, it was heaven. And also, it was a wee bit on the greedy side so this weekend I'm staying home and bequeathing all of my Junk Mojo to the rest of you!
The spoils from last weekend:
You've already seen the two quilts, but they're so pretty let's just have a look at all of that feedsack goodness one more time:
At an estate sale I found another folding ruler, bringing my in-house total to eight. I also picked up a silver cheese server thingy for another project to be shared later, once I actually get around to it. The vintage linens were from a church sale: a printed runner and cloth napkin (which would probably make a darling throw pillow) and a tea tablecloth & matching napkins with pagodas worked in the teeny tiniest of cross stitches.
From the Christmas files, a pile of pink lovelies from a garage sale that looked like nothing special from the curb, reminding me that it's almost always worth a quick look. Also, a pair of quilted satin vanity boxes, headed for etsy.
From the thrift, a set of six darling salad plates in blue with red strips and gold rims, just a few weeks too late but perfect for next year's Fourth of July table. Also, three tiny gold-striped glasses and a handful of colorful vintage plastic clothespins marked Denmark.
A matching Vera tea towel & apron set, a Pyrex bowl and a Fire King bowl that match, and an unused set of NOMA bubble lights.
Not pictured is a vintage glass light fixture and an awesome 5' x 8' space-themed area rug for Porter's room that will be perfect once I get it cleaned.
May the Junk Mojo be with you!


Wow! You really did get lucky!
