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!
Well Joe is still on his budget of $5 a weekend visit. What he came up with this week is interesting. I am really thrilled with one of his finds…more books! Another great little donation to the inner city book project…great classics! Then there are a few odds and ends…let’s go check them out…
 A little set of F. Scott Fitzgerald…
 open them up and you are instantly transported to another time and place…
 this is an A+ find!
Would you like some butter on that roll?
 This is so much cooler than the box we put in the fridge now!
 I did a little research and the Lambrecht Dairy is no longer open.
 So I am going to hold onto this little vintage gem…I feel like I have a piece of NJ history.
 Joe saw these little cutting boards and thought it was a good idea to bring them home…
 his thought process was I could make something with them…we will see!
 Now here is one that said take me I’m free…so that is what Joe did (no surprise there)…
 he thought that I would find it interesting…and that I did! When I turned to this page and saw the chocolate cake batter drips…I wondered who the cook was…what was the special occasion for yummy cream puffs! Maybe it was for a family dessert or a wedding…
 then I found a coupon with a great cake recipe on the back…it was sooo cool! I just might have to make it…sounds really good…
so retro bakery : )
 So that book that was sitting there for free was actually my favorite find in a long time…I feel like I have a little time machine that is taking me back to this wonderful time…filled with yummy food made with love. My adventures with Rose (that is what I have named my fictional lady…the owner of this cookbook) will continue and if I find a prize recipe…I will be sharing with you!
Well it is your turn…
Let’s start with a MOD SQUAD find by

I love her flair and style…I think I might have a hand at this…the only difference is I will be using a faux leather : )Â I know…I am a pain…but a devout vegetarian and always have to let you know there are options : )
And what would an episode of Junkin Joe be without a beautiful craft from
Tissue Paper Pansies!

My favorite part of Friday morning is sitting at my computer with a cup of coffee and checking out what junkin Joe discovered during the week! Once again, he did not disappoint! Thank you so much for hosting and for featuring my pattern covered window. Have a great weekend.
Love the butter crock! What a great find.:-) Thanks for hosting.
Thankyou so much for the feature andrea. I cant wait to see what you do with the cutting boards. Have a great weekend xxx
You can’t go wrong with some F. Scott Fitzgerald! What great finds. Can’t wait to see what other great recipes you might stumble across in Rose’s book either. And thank you for featuring the picket fence 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend!
Hats off to you Joe, this week you have done extra well. I adore the butter jar but I LOVE that cookbook. Andrea will have a fantastic time cooking from that little treasure. Maybe you could sit and read to her while she bakes that yummy chocolate cake ! lol
By the way Andrea, I have some news on my business facebook page I think that you should know about…..
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I just finished re-reading that set of books. You will be surprised just how self-absorbed those characters are! Thank you for my blog birthday wishes – I have so appreciated your support. I have been over twice and will need another trip to see all the wonderful finds. If I was near, you would be missing the butter crock about now :>)
Old cookbooks are really the best!!!
I just linked up and typed mermaids too fast – oh, no…..
What a great find those books were! I’m always looking for great classics
Kelly
