I finally got my "rear in gear" and dug through 4 large boxes of pottery.  It was like a treasure hunt!  I re-discovered pottery that I bought months ago.  Some pieces I will keep, others will be sold, and Goodwill will become the recipient of some not-so-great pieces.

A new look!

My blog has been re-designed and the re-design totally suits my style and personality.  I love the colors, graphics, and layout- I am very pleased with the finished product!  

I thrifted yesterday and today and bought some fun items.  I'll photograph them and share them in the next few days.  Hope you are all staying cool (it was 100 degrees today in Illinois).  See ya soon!

Blog Re-design!

In case you haven't noticed, I'm an absentee blogger.  I realized that the main reason is that I REALLY DISLIKE my blog design.  So, I took a birthday check from my parents and decided to put it towards a blog re-design.  I'm hoping that a design that better represents me will provide motivation to blog more consistently.  Michelle at shabbycreations.com is applying her skills and creativity to this project- I can't wait to see the finished product!

I've bought a ton of treasures recently- there is so much to show you.  Hope to see you soon when the new and improved junkstufftreasures debuts!
