A Good Day for M R Ducks!!!

Rain, Rain, Go Away, Little "Johnny" (my friend and me NEED to go junkin'!!) Wants to Play!! Even out on the lake the only living things I see are the DUCKS (m r ducks? o s m r!) and they are having a hard time staying in the water!!

I love signs and sayings. I get a KICK out of the emotions that a few choice words can trigger. The old junky discarded ones are true finds! From the hilarious to the sentimental I enjoy all of them!

My favorite ones are those based on scripture. These little tiles are great used as coasters or just "cutesy" items to give as hostess gifts.

And the CROSSES...

So many of the newly engaged couples are registering for gifts that include items which include a message...

Old and new marrieds like these...

"SIgns, SIgns EVEryWHere a SIGN..." This one is perfect for when I worked and the stress built, in my mind I would "go the beach"...

Living on the lake we compile a vast assortment of "huggies"...

These need no explanation...(my #1 son says live in a climate where flops are the norm!)

This could very possibly be my motto...

Hope you've enjoyed my tour of signs! Next time you're out shopping look for those that give you a little giggle or better yet some inspiration!

Have a Blessed Day!! And see ya down the junkin' road!!

April Showers Bring on the Flowers!

On this rainy morning in April 2010 I begin my new Blog, a southern girl's and her friend's adventures in "junkin'!" Now "southern junkin'" covers a lot of territory. The "hunt" is always on for those great buys to make our homes more comfortable, cheerier, prettier--CHIC! Of course flowers make a place all those things. And as soon as the downpour turned to sprinkles my friend & me headed out to the local landscaping supply store. Alas! Excitement turned to dismay as we realized "the truck" had not yet delivered the new shrubs and flowers we needed (not just wanted!) On the advice of another friend we drove on to Montevallo to check out "Cedar Creek." Boy, did we hit the mother-lode! We loaded the truck with ferns, vegetable plants, hydrangeas, marigolds(because my grandmother always planted marigolds as a deterrent to BUGS!), and mosquito plants (any help with those pesky rascals I need!). Another stop to pick up some bulbs, stop to eat, and it's home to plant. Ahh! Another good day of junkin'!
Have a Blessed Day!
