Clock themed New Year's party!

Happy New Year! Just thought I'd share a few pictures from my New Year's party, featuring clocks, clocks and more clocks!


The dessert area began with greenery and this decorative door which was a "save" from a piece of disgarded furniture. (Just goes to show a junk girl shouldn't throw anything away as a good "use" for an item usually presents itself later on...!)


A no-longer working clock was taken apart and the face was the perfect platter for the main dessert...sitting on a silver base for some height.


Here she is! It was pretty yummy!

A while back when my junk sisters and I were out junkin', I found these old round Bristol Recorder charts. They worked just right as placemats.






These old, totally "cool" metal clock faces were used as drink coasters...




I just love 'em!


This recently found two-piece silver dish was used to hold the ice cubes for drinks -

it worked great!






Have a fabulous junk-filled 2011!

Show 'N Tell

Yes, as Andrea mentioned in the previous post...garage sale season is among us! You got some great stuff Andrea.....here's a peek at mine:

I seem to gravitate toward the same things every time I'm out.....white ironstone, vintage frames, and wonderfully tarnished silver! But that's okay, there'll be plenty to go around at JunkFest '09!





















Oh yeah, and chairs! Love those chairs....especially those begging for a little attention and TLC! This one is oak and in great shape, minus the caning.

This last find actually came from a great little shop in Lingle, Wyoming.....I was passing through recently on my way to Denver and spotted a teeny tiny little sign that said "flea market." Well, you can understand to need to stop and check that out, can't you?! I spotted this vintage dress form and promptly made room for her in the car! I've never seen one made of heavy paper, but this one was assembled and resting on the adjustable wire stand it came with. My family thinks she looks a little "Madonna-esque!"
Aside from the dress form that I had to go all the way to Wyoming for, I did pretty well for only stopping at 2 sales!!

What did you find this weekend? Check out Today's Thrifty Treasures, hosted by Rhoda at Southern Hospitality.
