Roadside Junker Finding and saving the discarded junk of days past. I enjoy finding it and bringing it home to you! Vintage, rust, and upcycled. I still have this box!

My earliest memory of "junking" was going to a barn sale in New York, when I was about 5 years old. My mom gave me a quarter, and I purchased my first find for a nickel....a "Take Along Chest of Circus Animals". The box was empty, but the graphics were beautiful. Since then, I've spent my weekends going to garage sales, thrift stores, any place I can find that special "something". I love that I ha

ve unique items in my home, and that I can find that special "something" for others. Items of the past were well made, durable, and stand the test of time. If they no longer serve their original purpose, I will find a way to make it current. Recycle/reuse is my motto, and if I find it, and don't need it, it will be ready for you!

Awesome find at yard sale yesterday! Takes me back to the last latch hook rug I made in 1978, which I still have 😆

Part of junkin’ is seeing the potential in the discarded and unwanted. Although they’re past their blooming glory, they’re still pretty awesome.

My mules have served me well for over 20 years, and would’ve gone longer if a certain dog didn’t chew off the heel straps. New pair gifted to me for Christmas!
