WHY I LOVE JUNK AND ANTIQUES...
.for me its because it pays my bills and buys my groceries!!! mainly....but then it lets me be creative, make things out of good old parts that were deserted...and explore so many design ideas and appeals to my interest in history.... AND THE BEST PART....THE PEOPLE ...i figure the antique /recycling/do your own thing people i meet at the store and out and about and cyber junkers, are about the most interesting, adventurous and fun group of customers anywhere.... like the lady who makes art out of old bedsprings, or the customer who comes in to tell me what to do with old knives, as in take the blade out and make a vase...
....and then for nice relaxation and eye candy i can go see everyone elses projects..when im tired and on the couch...for instance if i want to get a view of whats going on in texas i just tune into . http://www.redneckchic.com/ OR http://www.robomargo.com/

..the junk i dont like is the piles that didnt work out and need to be gone. ...LIKE OUR FREE WINDOW PILE RIGHT NOW.....



GOTTTA LOVE THIS PICTURE!!

















A GOOD DAY AT
GREEN OAK...
A NEW LOAD..

.it happens every week.... and you just never know what it will be...
this week it was big sets of drawers, old shutters, old tap shoes, another cool antique typewriter, an awesome silver set, with a big sheffield waiter,
from the carpenters...a big 5 ft wide porch post cupboard...and 2 more counter/bar/cash wraps...
a beautiful pair of antique oak bookcases..



4h...CUTE STORY OF THE WEEK.... from a mom, whose daughter made a big collage starting with one of our old windows...she won at the county fair...then went to the state fair and got second....the MAN JUDGE, said she should have sanded it more.... !!!duh!! 4h must have a recycling project we have seen several 4h kids looking for parts...

the depression.... sometimes you get something that just tells you a lot about the depression era....yesterday i got one of those.... an old screen door with a patch in it....
i love the homemade things from back then...like cubby holes made from old cheese boxes......or the totally wild...like a spool of string i found in a box once, with a note...string too small to save.....
so many people are coming out to the store now that the weather has changed....
THANK YOU... we are totally packed with great stuff....and all the really cheap indiana farm junk that spent the winter out under the snow is out in the sun and looking good now!!!
