Shopping carts in junkyards???

Today I went to Brady to get some paints and was going to run by my grandparents to pick up my 68 Chevy tailgate I was buying from the Brady Recycling Center.  He hadn't picked it up yet so we ran out there together to get it and see what other goodies I could find. I had some little things in mind!! We asked the guy if we could walk around and look and he said sure and told me where to park.  When we walked back up he was standing there with a shopping cart!! Really?? I couldn't help but just bust out laughing and actually, the laughing continued until we left!  Now, I go enough places with my grandfather to know that he likes to push the basket because it gives him better balance (plus, I was still laughing too hard to push).  So away we went!  My grandaddy is 84 years old and when he has his little better balance basket in Wal-Mart or HEB, that man can move.  He doesn't browse or waste any time.  He zooms down the aisles and takes corners on two wheels.  It was pretty much the same way at the junkyard!!  I would be looking at something and turn around and he was gone!  I'd hunt him down, look at something and he was gone again.  Now I'm laughing not only because I know I now I have a sEriOus jUnkIn addiction, since we are pushing a shopping cart around but I'm also laughing at the fact that my grandaddy is a nut job! I hope I can move like that at 84.  Now that man is on a mission!  I'm pretty sure the men working there thought we had gone nuts!  Oh well!  It was absolutely the highlight of my day!

Oh, and as for the awesome tailgate (yes, tailgates can be awesome), they didn't have time to take it off today.  Grandaddy will zoom out there again tomorrow and hopefully pick it up for me.

Fun chairs for the kiddos!

Here are my two kiddo chairs that I've completed.  Both only about a foot off the ground.  These were once old orange school chairs I found out junkin'. They got a much needed facelift with some handpainted designs!!

Enjoy.

The hippie chair!!

I'm working on a custom order chair for a college student, but can't share those pictures yet!! Soon though!

SCP's second, first blog post!

I would like to say that this is my first blog post for SCP, but it's not.  I had another blog that somehow got deleted.  I say somehow, but I know it was my fault.  I know this because I am not good at computers.  I have a way of making them mess up and doing things I have no intention of doing.  Like deleting an entire blog.  Oh well.  Get to start over.  Which is actually a good thing!  My other blog had posts about the name blocks I made, but since I have sort of revamped SCP, I guess a revamped blog will do too!  I'm really enjoying painting!!! I have found that painting furniture and signs and re-purposing other fab finds is more my "tHiNG".

I'm also really enjoying the "JUNK'N" I've decided to add to SCP.  And I know my mom has as well.  She was my shopper this weekend and found awesome goodies and at great prices. (Thanks mom)!!!

An oldie but a goodie! Awesome clock!!

Twin size headboard and footboard with some odd but interesting design.  This will not be painted but will remain just as it is.

Chalk covered wagon wall decor.  This will be cleaned up before being sold.  Dirt dobber nest not included!!!!

ONE OF MY FAV's!!! I debated on if I should repaint and decided on no.  I loved it just as it was maybe someone else will too!

Below is just one of my signs I have made but have a growing list of others to make.

Some of my other goodies I have found out running around or up in our barn.

Cant wait to get started on this chair!

Finds in our barn!! (This was not all)
