Junkin AKA Trash Pickin

It's no secret, I LOVE picking through other peoples trash. I live in a upper class town with *tons* of disposable income and people throw everything away. 

{For the record I am soooo not one of those disposable income people, which is what started me on the whole junkin thing}

Last night and this morning my friend and I went out and I brought home a tile top kitchen table with matching Windsor chairs, antique wooden swivel stool with claw foot legs that are holding the old school crystal balls, as well as half a dozen other random small things. 

But my favorite find was this piece
 The back is marked Roma Italy and it has aurora borealis beads.

  4. That is most definitely a keeper! It's amazing to me what people will throw away, but lucky for us who will gladly take it home to give it a new life! t.xoxo

  5. I will NEVER understand people and why they throw away things with such beauty, history, charm? Not to mention the impact on our planet! Oh, well...as the saying goes, one man's garbage...Much love, Lisa
