Toot! Toot! I'm Outta Here...

My favorite find this week?
This collection of vintage model train props. 
Gnarly...
...nostalgic...
used alone or in a group, they have  a funky, fun vibe.
Kitschy, sculptural, worn - love em!
These are all packed up and ready to go to Junk Jubilee, April 21st in Des Moines, IA.
Hope you'll come see us there.
In the meantime, I'm off to play.  I'm headed to Portland OR to visit my niece and then off to CA to see my Mom.  My niece has the "junk gene", (hooray!!!), and we'll be doing a little shopping. I'm hoping to visit the mall where B is for Bella and Kathleen of Faded Charm are set up.  I don't know that I'll be doing any blogging, but I'll be sure to get some pics on my Facebook page from time to time.  
Have a great week...see ya!

  5. Jan, All those signs and lamps are adorable. I could see it all in a nice shadow box, hanging on a wall. Wish I could come junking with all of you. Smiles, Susie(She Junks)
