    Good finds, tho hope you don't break the grape plate. Its so pretty. I really like the glass rabbit.
    I had hoped to go to GW today but didn't get too, so am a bit bummed. Maybe next week.

    Susie, glad you found inner peace, you deserve that. And thank you for being our sunshine here.

    hugs, Karen

    Inner peace is much more important than any junk find Miss Susie!! I'm glad for you...
    The grape plate was bought to break...but will remain whole until the perfect project comes along.. the blue plates will be totem or plate flower parts.
    TS and yard sale shopping has been cut here due to gas prices..but this is a new one 'Value City' that if I go light to light I drive right by on my way home from work. Friend at work told me about a purse they had that was reduced to $7.. Of course I had to check out the other goodies while I was there. Bought the purse too... Brand new from Pennys!!!

    Great finds! I like the bunny. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

    Susiesunshine, peace of mind can be some of the best "junk" around! I know what you mean about the folks around here. I have had people contact me regarding Bob's health (my B/F) and have helped me keep my own sanity. Junkers have got to be some the best people! Must have something to do with repurposing things that would otherwise end up on a trash heap somewhere. Kind of like treasuring lost souls or having a deeper appreciatation for the small things in life.

    Yes.... LLF aka Ms Kathy: I think it is far more
    rewarding to recycle.... I think Ms Bright & her plates
    are just amazing finds.... Oh the character of the pretty plates... the facts that Ms Bright will use her Creative
    brain to make something BRIGHT & PRetty....
    I know that when the Light goes on in her brain....
    POP ~~~~ ! ! ! She will know exactly what to do...
    & the
    same for PEOPLE>>>>
    WE DO GET DO ~~ OVERS ! ! !
    People Help us along the way....
    People see us down and out.......... & they
    see us sinking... or struggling to climb the
    mountain...
    * * * * * POP ! ! ! they think.... I can give
    them... a HAND UP ! ! ! I can Reach out to this
    person...
    perhaps because they have been through something
    similar..../ or NOT ! ! !
    But being KIND>>> Reaching Out.... HELPING...
    E N C O U R A G I N G....
    One another....
    it is a form of Recycling...
    I think LOVE is a Beautiful form of ART ! ! !
    I think
    it is much easier to be Kind and Sweet &
    helpful....
    & the REWARDS OF CREATING>>>
    with the Plates.... With Kindness....
    ALL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Make the World a Much Prettier Place to BE ! ! !
    Garden Junkers.... A a GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT
    example of compassion....
    Love & Creativity ! ! ! !

    well, I could've sworn I posted to this thread..but I don't see my comments,lol!....Beautiful plates, I would've gotten them myself,not sure if to decorate or mosaic with...just got my china cabinet back from the finisher,whoohoo!!...Sorry to hear of your troubles SusieSunshine, I hope all is well now... I haven't been "yard-saling" or shopping at my "gettin' place"s..but one sister has been bringing me treasures for my art works, like sky blue feathers from her bird, beads,charms, old jewelry, etc., and another sister bought me a wine-making kit from a yard sale, she just brought a huge box full of bags of fresh corks,too, I suppose I'd better actually make some wine instead of a HUGE bottle tree :P'''....another sister got me a Japan blue willow cup and saucer for my tea cup bird feeder chandeliers...Thanks to whoever mentioned goodwill online, because I LOVE it; I've only spent $17.99 in the last couple months and bought 2 silver plated teapots, sugar and creamer, so no gas money spent, no heat to deal with and it was delivered right to the front door..they're for mosaic'ing...I've been making altered art collages and Artist Trading Cards..so much fun..I killed my digital camera,the lens won't close all the way,or come out all the way(what's up with that??) and gave some away without taking pics, so don't know if I can take any pics, this cell phone doesn't take the best pics,either.lol....and babysitting youngest grandson from morning til night keeps me too busy for much.....

    Thanks Ms Bright for your Lovey
    Post of the Grape Plate & pretty blue plate...
    and the precious little bunny....
    I haven't heard from Ms Karen...
    I'll just bet that she has packed her bags...
    and that she is on her way to snatch that
    precious little bunny. WATCH OUT>>>>> SHE MIGHT
    SAY THAT THE OLD WOMAN MADE HER DO IT>>>!!!!!
    Happy Junking!
    God Bless!
