Today You Can Be Anything You Imagine.

I stood up on stage and said those words 4 years ago.  Yesterday, I graduated college & am moving on to bigger and better things.  This blog is intended to help me stay on track in achieving what I imagine - a farm!  Lots of land, some cows, some chickens, a rooster, some sheep, and LOTS of old buildings, and JUNK! So, I'm going to share things like this along the way.


Yesterday, before my graduation, my family & I went antiquing. Instead of going to the usual places, I suggested we drive up towards Tennessee to look at some junk yards I found.  I had stumbled across this cool junk store (I went to this store 5 times before and she was FINALLY open!)  I picked up that blue tool box, the lamp bottom (which I'm going to use as a planter), the oil can with the teasel, the gas can, and the muzzle for $30!  I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK.  At another antique store I saw the white lantern and wanted it so bad, but my sister wouldn't let me buy it.  Instead I was shooed out of the store (how subtle of her) and her husband bought it for my graduation present.  They also got me the Yoo-Hoo crate in the photo.

It was a crazy day, but I managed to crutch along (I recently had surgery on my ankle) and was the most memorable graduate of the day (as some stranger told me).  Even though I'll be unable to walk for another month, I'm a dedicated junker and will hop anywhere for some cheap stuff!  I can't wait to show you more stuff, especially when I tackle cleaning up my childhood room and moving across the state!
