Welcome and a Great Big Howdyyy! From the Texas Hill Country!

O.K. I admit it! I'm a junkyard junkie, dumpster diving grandma, passionately recycling unwanted materials into one-of-a- kind creations. I take discarded items found anywhere, and everywhere, even the side of the road, and rework them into works of art. I'm a little Folk-Artish, a little dreamy, a little whimsical (sometimes), a little odd, and over-the-top (sometimes), and very serious about other things, but I love what I do!

As I said above , I live in Texas, Dripping Springs, to be exact, just outside of Austin!
I have 2 grown sons and 2 grandchildren, 2 wonderful little dogs, who think they are human, and oh, yes, a wonderful husband!

I just love taking something that is broken, old, rusty, forgotten...and transforming it into something new and useful again, saving it from its destiny at the junkyard.

Actually, one of my dreams, is to have a Junk-Junkies Junk Shop. A place where artists, or aspiring artists, hobbyists, or shabby chicers, assemblage and altered anything enthusiasts can come to find the materials they need for a project. I pray this will come to fruition some day!

Until then, I am here at Etsy, which I am learning more about everyday and finding out it is a great place to be! So, here I go, I am just jumping right in, so please put up with my newness for a little while! I am sure I will be updating and changing some of the things I am posting here soon. As I learn more, I will be adding more!
