Junkin' stuff~great haul!!!!!

Hi everyone~my mom and a special family friend came up for the weekend and we did tons of junkin'.  We also so went to The Barn Sale in Gonzales, Texas.  Tons of fun!!!! I will be sharing my finds with you today and tomorrow {Try It Tuesday}.  Old chalk board eraser, it was pricey, but haven't seen one $9~this is her business card!! Love it~

These are little peeps shoes!!! I'm thinkin' Christmas ornaments and pin cushions~
$6 for all of them~
 
Original idea~cutting the numbers out of the license plates~$1 each!!!
 
I could not pass this up~rhinestone buttons, not a bad one in the bunch{all have their stones}
I paid $4
 
I have been looking for months for the perfect frame to make a chalk board out of {for the hall, leading into the laundry room}~I will re-paint{Connie green} paid $12~
 
These were not a good deal but when you find something that speaks to you either loudly or softly you HAVE to act on it~this was screamin' at me.  I have never come across this type {PO numbers} before~$10
 
Two little locks with the keys~$1 each.  I have started collecting these for my grandson and the small license ~ I saw necklaces made from these on Betsy's blog HERE~so I will be making one. Check it out!! I paid $3 for these two, they came together.
 
Stay tuned, lots of re-purposing to do!!! Tomorrow's {Try It Tuesday}post is more junkin' finds!!

  13. WOW...what fun. Love all your 5's. Can't wait to see what your wall is looking like. Such a neat idea. Our family is still growing, but I would love to do something like this, it sounds so fun to have a "quest" of specific things to look for. Love all your goodies...those little shoes are adorable...can't wait to see what you do with it all...
