"good" Junk

I LOVE "GOOD" JUNK


I love junk! Now when I say junk, I mean the good kind, slightly worn items of furniture or home decor. Finding "good" junk is a gift of mine. It may be genetic, inherent or learned, in my case I think a little bit of all three, but for some reason my entire family is great at finding "good" junk. My mother has deorated her entire house with it, my older sister has transformed many homes as well. My younger sister, well she has a tough time picking out things that don't cost a lot, but we love her anyway.


I do believe that this gift is directly descendent from my grandmother. I remember being maybe 8 years old and going to the Mcallen flea market to look for Blue Ridge and Fiesta pottery. When we would leave the flea market I would sit in the front seat, little sis relegated to the back, and look up all fo the plates we bought in the Blue Ridge book to "see how much they were worth".
