I Need A Junk Trip...

 These are photos of one of my favorite junk stores. It's in Kokomo , Indiana. It's called the Treasure Mart. The original store is in a 3 storied building.  But this one is near Lowe's.
 Since we need to go to Lowe's on Monday.....well  doesn't it make sense to go here too?
I'll have to think about what I would like to buy. I would like a couple baskets. I see this big blue coffee pot and think vase. :):) I have to have a purpose to buy something now. Because it can become clutter if not used.
  I loved going to this store with my mom. She would see things that she could make a story from, something that she would remember from her youth.
  Today is to be so nice here. I am going to spend part of the day with my daughter and granddaughter.. Hope you are with loved ones . XO

  3. Your trip to that store sounds completely justified to me! I often find things in antique stores that remind me of something I grew up with too.

    1. Hi Kelly, I knew some of you would totally agree with me wanting to junk. LOL. Love it ! I like seeing some of that stuff...but oh my, I have been place when you have to truly call it junk. But recently I saw a sign made out of broken tols and gears , that normally would be junk. It was cute. So who knows. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  5. I like stories! And I think I like that junk store. Our local junk store is not quite so interesting, but it have found a few great buys there. Would be interesting to hear one of your mom's stories.

  9. I was just at that Treasure Mart last weekend! I went up to Kokomo to the Elliot House for a Downton Abbey tea! Then I stopped at that antique store on my way out of town. I just love that place and did find a few pretties there.
