It was time for another trip to my favorite junk shop. I bought a truckload of stuff, including rusty junk, a table, chairs, and lots of blue Ball jars.
First, I wanted to show you what the outside of the junk shop looks like now. Mr. Butler cleaned it up a few months ago because the city was giving him a hard time.
I don’t know why. All of the stuff was confined to his parking lot, and he does have a commercial business.

The photo above is a shot from one of my many shopping trips before the clean-up. See, it doesn’t look bad, and it looks a lot more inviting than that wood fence.

This is a look at what’s behind the lattice fence. There are many reclaimed windows, bed rails, shutters, etc.

The view above is the side of the shop and it’s all fenced in too.

Now for my purchases. What do you think of the iron piece? It is really heavy, and the rust and chippy paint are perfect. The cost was $20. It would make a nice work table or maybe a kitchen island.
