Retracting Past Statements over Shiney Pants

2010-11-23T13:45:00.000-08:00

In the past I have been less than complimentary over the wearing of shiney leggings circa 1981. I retract any past statements. These just came over to my house for a playdate.

it's about time to show you where I get my good genes from aside from my pop.

Sad, Sad City

2010-11-15T11:01:00.001-08:00

Can I shake off the weekend's snow? The lyrics say sad city, I say dance your Monday butt off in the middle of whatever you are doing!

Desk for a Pretty Princess~SOLD!

2010-09-19T11:26:00.000-07:00

Now that you have gone back to school don't you need a pretty desk that is freshly painted and a newly upholstered chair?

Red Table District

2010-08-30T14:22:00.000-07:00

3 coats of lacquer on top of the red..yowser

Well you're always saying that red is your accent color & having a red pillow and a red vase is not enough!

SOLD~Starsky & Hutch

2010-08-17T13:54:00.000-07:00

By far my most challenging paint job. I am so excited that it is finally done that I am posting pics before I even put the hardware back on. As always freshly primed & painted just for you and your hipster lifestyle~because grey is huge. Has a charming little groove for your plate collection or just load it up with books. Drop down desk for organizing bills & letters. Do you still get letters?

Tighten Up

2010-08-17T11:30:00.000-07:00

Ok, everyone just loves when dogs or kids lip sync and I am not immune.

The kids smells like ranch dressing. You gotta love that!

Morgan Creek Vineyards

2010-08-12T17:12:00.000-07:00

Morgan Creek has live music & wood fired pizzas in addition to fantastic wine. My favorite is their Collure.

Mankato Wine Bar home to fine wines and insanely cheap top shelf liquor

coolest fire bowl on earth...made from left over distilling parts

at this point in the evening The Junk Man's Daughter's Man got his head cut off in self portrait attempts

More young lovers

Okay so here is the lighter side of Vineyards & Wine tasting down in Southern Minnesota. An evening combined with college buddy and a vineyard = great fun. We began vineyard at Morgan Creek Vineyards in New Ulm and ended at the raucous Wine Bar in Mankato. All in all it made for a lovely evening. Started with delicious wine (can I tell you how they have perfected cold hardy grapes into bold red wines!) Ended with some insanely cheap Hendricks gin martinis. What a nice weekend. Why is this vintage...Wine is vintage and so AM I...

The Shins..painting avoidance

2010-08-09T09:10:00.000-07:00

Well, here I am leaving you another vid for your listening pleasure rather than facing my heap of beautiful basement furniture that needs painting and reupholstering. Been on the hunt for mainstream sources of income which is distracting and computer focused and not tactile enough to keep me sane.

Digress, digress...last night the Junk Man's Daughter's Man and I were watching a movie and half way through we decided that we had seen it and loved it so we continued and watched it again. Garden State is such a sweet movie and moreover has an awesome soundtrack. Listen & love.

The Heavy

2010-07-14T08:18:00.000-07:00

It is a super sultry humid day and I can't help thinking that The Heavy is the perfect soundtrack for a day that has already started out so hot.

This was a great rainy day outing with my buddy Lisa. Lunch a Cupcake afterwards wasn't too shabby either.

Red & Blue for You

2010-05-18T09:03:00.000-07:00

This chair looks so spiffy with a new paint job doesn't it? Swivels and rolls...what fun while you sit at your desk.

Who buys your stuff anyway?

2010-04-24T07:59:00.000-07:00

I get this question a lot. Here is a home that I have never been to but I have met people like these http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/house-tours/apaks-creative-cottage-house-tour-101610 They are the kind of people (along with others) who buy the unpredictable stuff at the Mall of St. Paul. There sense of joy and creativity is palpable when they come in. They also have a sense of humor mixed with a sense of purpose.

And there you go.

I am in love!!!

Going Commando?

2010-02-05T08:43:00.000-08:00

Rent, Rent Rent....the overhead issue. Wondering how all the etsy sellers are doing without walls. Breaking even is nice but then I cannot buy more inventory. What to do? Chad calls my business click and mortar since I do some online selling and I have a physical space. I might have to go commando so to speak and get rid of the mortar.

Good evening, I am moving booths to an even smaller space but UPSTAIRS Jan 1st. Need to sell a gem of a table mostly, but here are some other things available....My booth is a hot mess, usually my booth is cuter/less clutter so help me out and help yourself to a nice warm table to host THE HOLIDAYS. love, peace & a nice glass of red wine to all (I forgot to mention that Uncle Paul treated me to an AMAZING RED that is too rich for my blood but an ever so lovely Cabernet from Sequoia Grove Vinyard...a real treat for those of us who are usually in the $8-12 crowd)

Okay, well this post has nothing to do with my behind but to some lovely little ones who came over to play on Friday. The kids were both wearing matching t-shirts (I do art!) of their mama's creation and how very cute the are! http://www.roundbottombaby.com/

Very sweetest 3 year old asked me if I would make her some sausage...how could I say no to such an earnest request.

Junk in My Trunk, Junk is my Name...?

2009-11-15T13:39:00.000-08:00

Where do all the pretty girls get boot worthy jeans that cover their booties? Specifically those of us with a tushie, some junk in the trunk....an ASS? I know that all those waspy, willowy assless blondes can find little tubes of denim everywhere that lithely go into their cute boots.

I bought one pair of jeans a couple years ago that were great if I was standing up or standing still. Otherwise it was crack city when I sat down or bent over. I have too many cute boots to only wear with skirts....Help me, help a girl with a booty wear jeans with her booties. NO Stop laughing at me and send suggestions. I won't buy any 200 dollar denim either...can't do it, my conscience will not allow it.

Next order of business. Junk, I love junk, I love the word though it has been coopted many times since my dad & I first talked about this name. Some people are scared of junk & what it means. ...thinking of changing my name. Or just ride the junk wave, I dunno.
