SHE SAID YES!!!!

What a fabulous day of junking!



We began at a rarely visited haunt and found amazing lamp parts and,(be still my heart), a 1920's Pendleton blanket. I made a ridiculous offer and SHE SAID YES. I found the perfect spot for it when I got home.



Next, we found a vintage sconce at another place and A SOLID WOODEN WIGMAKERS STAND.



It has a deliciously rusty clamp on the bottom!

We started home, but I pulled over at a pile of junk on the curb, made inquiries, and we were invited to pick a hidden basement....AND BOUGHT AN ENTIRE BOX OF VINTAGE CHANDELIERS!



We unloaded at home and Glen hung the chandeliers and went in to order parts.



and THEN HE MADE THIS AMAZING LAMP FROM THE BASE AND PIECES WE FOUND AT THE FIRST STORE.



We picked up a few other vintage rusties along the way for our spot at Camas Antiques.
Does junkin' get better then this?

Lazy morning after successful EXPO sale!

Today, I'm a sleepy cat.
Wow, We had a great Expo experience. We were hot and exhausted, then wet and exhausted, but we sold over half of our stuff and grinned all the way to the bank. Thanks to Kathy P. and the staff at Palmer Wirfs and my wonderful daughter, Paige, for all the help!
