My first post! Woo-hoo!

{Yay! It's my first post!} I'm super excited because summer is just around the corner, and that means nearly 3 months of rest and relaxation (and curriculum planning) for this teacher. Most importantly though, it means garage sale season is officially here! I have always been a fan of garage sales, but my passion took on a new twist after I learned of the existence of the Junk Gypsy sisters. Have you seen these ladies? They are awesome! My mom first (virtually) introduced me to them several years ago while I was in college and since then I have been hooked. They can seriously turn any piece of garbage into an amazing work of art.

Needless to say, after seeing their amazing talents, I was inspired to become a junker myself. I have been visiting garage sales over the past few years and re-purposing everything from bookshelves to dressers, and anything in between!

This year I am hoping to put my junkin' game into overdrive and find the best trash treasures along the Lake Michigan coastline. I was lucky enough to score some amazing SOLiD wood end tables last weekend ($4 a piece... crazy cheap, right?!) and already have BiG plans for all of them!

I can't wait to share my junk journey with you! I hope you continue to check back throughout the summer to see some of the cool things I work on! HaPpY jUnKin!
