    Old board that will be used in my garden room and a very handy scoop.

    This is painted with chalkboard paint and will also hang in my garden room.

    Piglet feeder that I just couldn't resist.

    I don't own piglets but now I have a feeder for them if I ever do own them ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden )

    It's just so bright and cute.

    These rods are about 4 feet long and made of cast iron. I think they will become a teepee trellis out back next Spring.

    Small table, I will be redoing our front porch over the winter and this will be put between a couple of chairs out there.

    Don't know it's original purpose but I am going to paint it and use it .... somewhere.

    This fellow used to have a rod in his middle, Randy is going to drill out the broken part and put a new one in.

    I love your junque. I wished I could find good things like that. I am going to look for something to make a chalk board. I could really use one in my kitchen so I thank you for the idea. But, my favorite is the pig feeder. Great junque you found.

    Thanks, I have lots of fun looking for things, most often they just holler my name or get into my mind and niggle at me until I finally go back and get it.

    Most of the things I find are in Antique Malls, almost all of them will have a few booths with the good stuff in them. We have yet to go to one that doesn't have my kind of stuff and they never put those booths up front, they are usually in the far back corner or along the back wall.

    Yippee... more junque!
    That scoop could be used for so many things, but why do I get the feeling that it will find a different kinda life at your house?
    I love those cans and that board is the perfect backdrop for them.
    But on my... that piglet feeder! I think it's my favorite. Could be bird or squirrel feeder... or planter.
    Those rods will make a great teepee (or maybe you should try to make a yurt?) :D
    That's a cute table.. looks in too good of shape to be called junk.
    Cute stars/moon... but I keep thinking that one of the stars should have been a sun. Can't wait to see where and how you decide to use it.
    Hmm... worm or caterpillar... maybe a hanger for doodads or wind vane?
    Yep... now I've got the urge to look for junque!!

    You've done it again!! You've made me wish I could be with you when you find all your great junque items. I love the chalkboard, the little table and the star and moon screen. I could put that scoop to good use here too.

    We used a scoop like that, when I was a child, to scoop ashes out of our wood burning stove. wannabe

    Yes, we have a scoop like that in our coal scuttle by the wood burning stove that we heat with in winter. I use it for a lot of different things in summer.
