the perils of traveling with junk...

it never fails.  everytime i fly, my carry on is always searched.  i don't get it, doesn't everyone travel with rusty old trycicle wheels, old license plates, etc?  And then there was the guy at the gate check who gave me the stink eye when he went to lift it and nearly pulled his shoulder out of the socket.

for me it's always about good junk wherever i'm at and doing whatever's necessary to get it home.  you might notice one thing is missing from my baggage...clothes.  i've been known to wear 2 pr of socks, all my underwear, undershirt, tshirt, button down shirt, sweat shirt, vest AND coat...all at one time, just to make room in my suitcase.  after all, who needs clothes when there's good junk to transport!



you might be a hoarder if...

your storage balcony looks like this...

or this... 

or this...

or this...

but, unlike a hoarder, i am willing to part with my "stuff"...grudgingly.  it's all going over to the junk posse for our memorial weekend reopening.  so be sure to stop by and join in my therapy session!

the junk posse rides again...



we have moved from our former location under the historic olympia hotel.  we are now located at 120 s. third, the former marigold mercantile building. 

the mercantile items have been cleared out to make way for droves and droves of antiques, repurposing possibilities and cool handcrafted items fashioned from vintage materials.

we will remain closed while reworking the store, reopening around may first.  be sure to stop in then and check out all the new things!
