Welcome everyone to the Baseball edition of
Junkin Joe!
Why am I calling it that…well in my families opinion…JJ hit a
HOME RUN this week.
Everyone may not agree…but we LOVE his find…his budget was
10 dollars and he only came home with 1 piece but he scored!
In honor of this find…this post will be brought to you in pinstripe blue!
Meet Mr. NY YANKEE Bobble Head…
He’s smiling…why…because he is a NY YANKEE…if you notice…there is a little chip on his face…the only blemish he has…
he stands proud…
he wanted to have his picture taken with some of the greats…so Micky and Yogi came off my sons shelf and joined in the picture taking…
oh yes…Phil joined in on the fun too…doesn’t he look like a real star…
this family is a sucker for a man in uniform…
circa 1962…
a real score…this little guy is now up to bat in my sons room and I know that he would kill me for telling you this…but he has put him under a cloche…I tell you those things are fabulous for everything!
SCORE JUNKIN JOE…

August 31, 2012 at 3:24 pmWhat fun….I love this little guy of yours. Now you have me wanting to hit the charity shops today…haven’t done that in awhile so I think I may just have to call up my daughter and GO…thanks for the inspiration my friend. Sorry I have not visited for awhile …vacation and now school prep with the first day of school on this coming Tuesday has kept me away from the blogs…boo hoo…I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. xoxox Happy weekend.
