If you love to go junking…if vintage makes you SMILE…if refurbishing an old beat up piece of furniture makes you happy happy…if a thrifty bargain does your heart good…if you love to see what your friends snatch up at Good Will and garage sales…if you adore a good party…well then you are in the right place…it’s time for another episode of
JUNKIN JOE!
 Let’s take a peek
at what JJ found this week!
Budget is still set at $5!
Did I ever tell you that everyone in my home has a book addiction? Well we do! Even though we are all totally connected in every possible piece of technology…we all are still in love with the crack of the binding and the sweet smell of an open book. We have been donating 1000’s of books (that is not an extra 0!) to an inner city project in NJ…they are creating a library for the kids…that makes it a lot easier parting with some of our books knowing that they are going to such a wonderful home …so when JJ saw this collection…he snatched them up to add to the pile. When you see them…you will agree…they are a perfect addition.
Here’s to Reading…as Levar Burton would say…
“take a look…it’s in a book”
Reading Rainbow : )
First we need some light!
Isn’t he cute!
Truth be told…Joe’s “super focus” was off…he thought that this was Winnie the Pooh!
 Winnie on a eucalyptus leaf??? Well…he’s still a cutie lol!!!
Ah…what a fabulous book for a child to open…
A bit of Americana…

The best of the bunch!!!! By the way…I know that many of you are Downton Abbey fans…there is another FABULOUS English show and that is Sherlock Holmes…do yourself a favor and check it out…it is set in modern day settings and it’s AMAZING!
