Oh for the love of "pickin"!!!

So you got to just love family!!!!  Recently I had two family members approach me saying they have "stuff" for me to pick through.  Well, my eyes light up at the thought of digging through unwanted "treasures"!!!  I just want to shout out a great big THANKS to my family for letting me discover many great "picks"!!! Below is a picture of my cousin's barn that my mom & I got to pick through!!  It was a lot of fun we felt like those guys on "American Pickers", we had our flash lights out scavenging through all the dark corners of the barn discovering many fun exciting things!!!

Let the Pickin begin!!!

To many this may look like a pile of junk, but to us it is a pile of true treasures to be brought back to life!!!

Was quite leery of going up these stairs! Oh the adventure!!!


Then the second pickin journey begun at my aunt's.. She was looking to get rid of "stuff" & I was in the market to gain more "stuff"!!!  Gain I did!!!  Oh the potential all my finds have is so exciting & I can't wait for you to discover them @ SuLaine's Antique mall!!!!

2nd truck load of great finds!!!! Time to get busy!!

My Aunt Jane waving goodbye to all her old "junk" & my new Treasures!!!!

Phew all that pickin is fun, but hard work!!!  So this morning I decided to not go pickin(hence rummage sale day). Instead I grabbed a cup of coffee headed to my front porch & took in the peaceful beauty of the morning.  I got to thinking of my in laws that are traveling Europe and who just recently visited Paris, Oh Paris someday maybe....  Anyways I thought of one of my newly collected peices and thought of Paris and how romantic and carefree it would be & renewed this piece below!!

Paris serving tray!  Perfect for serving coffee, tea whatever you desire!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying summer as the month of June just flew by!!!  What is the saying...Time flies when you are having fun/pickin!!!

And so it has begun....the warm weather, swimming, flea marketing, garage sales, gardening etc...  Summer can get really busy for many of us!!  I know I have been busy getting the garden in (finally!!), running kids to summer camps, & working on new creations for Beautiful Junque!  During these busy days of summer we all need to remember to stop, relax & smell the roses!!!

Have a wonderful HOT weekend!
