concrete & tv crews…

November 18, 2011

we’ve been a little off the radar lately…but we assure you, it’s all been for a good cause. for the cause of spreading goodwill and junk karma across the globe. it’s been for the love of junk. and for the love of the road.

2 excuses. that’s what we’ve got: 1)concrete. 2) tv crews

1) concrete – it’s been a long wait…it’s been 12 years in the making…and FINALLY…we’re building our first-EVER stoRE! (*read our ‘there goes the neighborhood’ blog here to catch up*)

{best. day. EVER.}

 a junky home for all our junky stuff. a place for our junky friends. a place of happy thoughts and happy things.

{the whole family. it takes a village.}

 the concrete is poured. we’ve left our mark. the walls start going up soon!

{the big rigs makin it happen}

 and the other little thing we’ve been working on…

2) tv crews

{LaRGE MaRGE gettin’ her close-up}

I have a junk-lovin’ electrical crew that I would love for you to meet. redbpower is awesome. If you ever, like even for the eensiest thing need an electrician call this red headed electrician and his crew. They will travel for great junk and good electrical jobs! Oh, oh. OHHH. Happiest day to you all. I am so happy for you. Congratulations!

    You have worked so hard and come a long way. We are so proud of you.

    Bravo! I’m, applauding while I type LOL! I watched your show and it was SO NICE to see your beautiful faces, hear your voices, see your family members, the shops you’ve discovered in Texas and watch you work your magic to transform a plain room into a Junk Gypsy masterpiece! I loved the room and everything in it! Funny moment – when Jolie was stacking up the cans and talking about making a light fixture, I turned to my husband and said, “Is she gonna make a light or shoot them?” well by golly, ya did both! Cracked me up! Then, I almost died when y’all were talking about painting that fabulous aqua cabinet – NO!!! I love the color! I was hollering at the television! Amie and Jolie, the show was awesome! It was realistic, personable, informative and fun. I felt like I was right there – it wasn’t pretentious at all, which is what I love! I want to be able to relate my junking and creating to folks on tv and y’all nailed it! I even got to see Large Marge! LOL! Can’t wait until the full season starts. It just goes to show you that good, honest work, faith and family can conquer mountains and make dreams come true. Congrats on a HUGE success! Love ya! Leena

    You girls have made me look at things in a whole new way! What I once saw as just junk I am now looking at and thinking how could I change that and make it useable. Love the show and love you guys!

  • Reply Lynn Ponto-Peterson January 2, 2013 at 8:14 am

    I absolutely LOVE your show! My Dad use to pack up our family on the weekends and we would hit the junk shops, garage sales, and flee markets. These were such amazing memories for me. We even dug at a few local dumps for treasures. (I love old bottles because of this) He would remake furniture from his finds and it instilled a love in me for old items and today I feel like it lives in my artwork. I actually cried during one show because it reminded me of my father so much . This is my new favorite show. Best of luck to you ladies, from one treasure loving soul to another 🙂 I’ll have to have to design my art studio one day 🙂
    God Bless!

  • Reply April Fain May 25, 2013 at 9:25 am
