Things I love......


I moved to the main floor of Camas Antiques on September 1st and have been working hard at filling up my new booth. It is finally filled up with things I love!



This work cabinet was one of the junk finds that I brought home from the ReGifting Store. I had to clean it up a bit but basically left it as found, because it already had perfect layers of chippy paint. I love chippy paint. I really wanted to keep this piece but I have to remind myself that I can't keep everything!



The white drop-leaf table was also a ReGifting Store find. It too only needed to be cleaned up a bit. A little more chippy on top than I would normally prefer but I am in love with the size of this table.



I have a thing for old keys, blocks, photos and tools, I only buy what I love so you will find plenty of these items in my booth!



Another view of my junk... I really love junk.



Another thing I love is old books. They can make such a statement in decorating and even if they are worn and torn they work fantastic to be used in collage,mixed media and other paper craft projects.



The creamy colored table is another junk find from the ReGifting Store. It was actually more of a yellow color so I sanded it down to reveal the cream paint underneath and glazed over it. I have collected many black mailboxes recently and I am in love with them. Several are being used right now on my porch to decorate for Halloween. I think I will use them afterwards to store my old letters and other ephemera in. Another thing I love...... ephemera!

From my point of view, all this looks more like "treasures" than "junk". :)

Nice displays too.
