Hi Friends
Hope your week is off to a great start.
Last week I found some great new treasures for my etsy shoppe and
perfect for a redesign.
I can hardly wait to get started
You know I love to find these old vintage lunch boxes.
Paint, trims and more will give these "a new life"
What a treasure this leather and wood box is.
Lots of plans for this beauty.
This vintage bowl has lots of charming distress and I love the raised flower design.
Perfect for a fall shabby rag basket is this wire treasure with handle.
I was also thrilled to find this bag lot of wine corks.
This little shelf with a plate tilt is going to be wonderful repainted with chalk paint.
Great details on the bottom.
Love this darling little butlers helper, or vintage server.
Whatever it was used for in the past, it has a "new life" coming soon.
This little wood box is a fun find and perfect to accent and change the paint color leaving the
graphics in place.
I think this one will be perfect to hold crochet hooks or sewing machine bobbins.
LOVE this rug and I am thinking of a chic painted graphic around the flowers for this beauty, which is perfect for fall. Great Autumn colors.
The best find of the week is this wonderful wood night stand.
Inside was marked "Made in Brazil"
I have plans for a complete redesign with chalk paint, distress
and accents
Maybe I'll take out the drawer and replace it with a basket drawer or leave it and change the knob.
Not sure, but I will share the "after" when I complete this wonderful find for a guestroom
night stand.
I better get to creating.
These goodies (except the night stand) will find places on the shelves in my etsy shoppe soon.
Nothing like a few new treasures to motivate my creativity.
Have you found any junkin treasures lately?
If so, Happy Creating and Decorating!

You found some wonderful items! I always look forward to your recreations.
some neat finds, definitely. :)
Wow those lunch boxes sent me back in time! I remember those when I was a kid- adults used them for work. I like that wood/leather caddy- those are cute for wine. That yellow wood box is my favorite- that color on it is so vintage- I love it. What a perfect accent for a sewing room.
I would keep the little nightstand too!
You have lots of projects ahead of you! Have FUN!
warmly,
deb

I love the old lunch boxes...I know you will do great things with them...Makes me want to hit some great thrift stores..you just never know what you may find.. Blessings!
My dear, YOU SCORED! I did too. I found a French table ( I think I told you) in the trash that said, "FREE!" And then I found....get this....a crystal chandelier! I took off all the perfect crystal pendants and did I ever have fun using them to embellish existing chandeliers in my home.
You are going to have a blast! I am on my lunch break before I go into my first course of the day. AHHHH!
Can't wait to see your transformations. I know they will be beautiful! Joy to you and yours, Celestina!
Celestina, I enjoyed our antique hunting together. Great finds, I can't wait to see what you do next with them.

Wow, you really hauled in the good loot, Celestina! Your vintage lunch boxes will be gorgeous with your special paint treatment! And the wooden boxes you found are so neat too! Can't wait to see what you do with everything. The rug is so pretty, too! What will you create with the corks? You really hit the jackpot this time! Oh, and the night stand is going to be super cute, I can see a pretty crystal knob on the front!!
Great treasures, especially those lunch pails. I hope you will show the "after" because I know they will be beautiful.

Celestina,
OMGosh what an amazing treasure trove of found vintage goodies to transform. I can just imagine all the fun recreations you will embarking on. I will have to check out your etsy shop and see the creative magic you do.
XOXO,
Vera
You found some great items and you are so creative imagining a new lease of life for these treasures! My favourite here is the long wooden box with the lovely vintage image.
Wonderful finds! I love vintage lunchboxes too. I haven't been able to find ones though that weren't beat up. =(
Jeanine
Wow, you found some really neat items, especially that architectural element, you have an eye for this. ~Diane
Oh, I can't wait to see what you'll do with that nightstand, Celeste, and I know it will turn out as gorgeous as ever. I came across a couple of special finds at the thrift shop the weekend before last, Mr Oakley (our new hall tree in last week's post), and a vintage mail holder that was quite a mess until Mr G got a hold of it. I love that leather wood box.
Happy Labor Day, my friend.
xoxo
Lots of fun junkin'.
I just read your story over at Junk Chic Cottage. I am surprised that you must be close in age to me. We celebrated 43 years of marriage last April. You look so young in all your pics - what's your secret?
Hi Celeste, How fun all these treasures will be to repurpose. Wishing you a nice weekend.
Oh wow, this vintage lunch box is so cool - I remember those! I like the wine corks too. Jess collects unique and pretty wine corks and displays them on her bulletin board. You found so many great things, Celestina. I really like this wood box also.
love,
~Sheri
Wow! I want to go junkin with you! You found some great stuff! I love the box, reminds me of paper dolls? The rug, I have almost bought at Walmart. It's pretty and how cool that you got it way cheaper I'm sure. I can't wait to see what you do/ paint on it :-) The lunch boxes are great too! You are a professional junkin shopper ;-)
