"Yard Coasters"

This is the tops of the "Yard Coasters" you can't really see the leaves. They are on a dowel that you poke into the ground and then you can use them either for decoration or for actually putting you cool summer drinks on them. Another thing to do would be to put a candle on them at night, I think that would be really nice.

So finally here is a picture of myself, Sharon and Mike at the Farmers Market in Puyallup. We have a great time and are enjoying creating and comeing up with new ideas. I will show you a few close-ups of my "Yard Coasters" as Rey calls them. They sold really well. I saw something similar in a magazine but didn't like the flower shape that they used and I wanted to try something a little different for the surface.

Ok so I lied!

So here is a picture of Teasha and her two friends, Teasha my daughter is on the left and her friend Ashley is on the far right. Both of the aprons were some that I made, however after I cut the dress up that I already posted there wasn't enough fabric to make a full apron so I did this one. You can't see the beadwork that I did at the top of Teashas but it is really cute.

Trash to treasure here we go

Above is a picture of an old school dress. The fabric is just what my daughter Teasha wants as it looks kind of Meyan(sp) and she wanted me to make an apron that she can where to fesivals that she sometimes entertains and somtimes she sails her baked goods and Lemonade. So look for the finished product when I am done.

I am so excited to start my new business and so scared at the same time. I have gained a couple of partners and dear friends who are starting on this venture with me. Thank you to Sharon and Mike Fuller for inspiring me on a daily basis and for being such wonderful friends. I love you! Welcome! To anyone who likes repurposed things. I love to change old worn out or worn looking items into something new and beautiful. Thus the name Junktown Junktion. You will notice that my other blog is thekitchenkloset.blogspot.com. and that I have fallen in love with the simple and old ways of living. Anything that belongs in the kitchen has truly inspired me and brought back wonderful memories. All of us seem to be turning to the simpler way of living. So here we go again, for the second time around. Join me in an old new way of living.
