Junk Train Treasures

15 years ago

J.T. will be moving out tomorrow (Tuesday). I am posting the picture of the Cleopatra bed she slept in. The gold and white Swan soap dish (or planter) came from the Junk Train Treasure box.

Go to the Link to see all of the goodies that I kept!!!!

Wow, susieroses, very creative use of your JT finds! Love all your decor ...so very festive at your home! What a perfect bed for JT.

Well, personally, I am happy for JT that her journey is winding down...she started off with our NM GJ friend & it looks like she's headed back home there! I hope everyone enjoyed her feisty attitude & that she brings home lots of souveniers! Her journal would be really interesting to read ,... so I am happy you could see it all, susieroses!

Thanks for sharing your home & all the pics! Happy New Year! Jeanne S.

News of the Junk Train??!!!

Bright 199 is right - I haven't seen any wish lists, either. I know we can't guarantee that wishes can be met but it would be nice to get some ideas. If it was already posted, sorry, I missed it. I missed the chat room, also. DH and I were in the cellar/crawlspace wrapping a frozen water pipe with a heating cable and insulating it. I was there from 7:30pm to 10:15pm Saturday night and he stayed until it thawed - I was already in bed at that point. We (currently) have running water!!!! Anyway, it would be good to have some ideas. Thanks, Colleen

He is the perfect mascot, like Kirk said! And I hope he doesn't CROAK in the box either! Tee hee! I'm ready whenever you are, nmgirl! Maybe everyone could get signed up in the next couple weeks & the train could take off on Valentine's Day (or something)...I mean, Campbell hitting the rails on a special day of the year, "mmmm, mmmm good!" LOL! Jeanne S.

Boy, Kirk & Robert...looks like you both hit the JACKPOT..Miscellaneous assortment of mail and parcels piled in the aisle of a baggage car and requiring removal before the mail in the stalls can be "worked"...that's RR lingo! LOL! Looks like you've both kept that train a-rollin'! kirk...your blue bottle tree looks BEAUTIFUL in the snow even w/that "orange thing-y" hanging in it! LOL! Good to see JT pics, too! Looks like Campbell had a bear-able time! robert...nice salvagable stash, too! (>even though the pkg suffered a head-on collision! Kirk, maybe ? you can post & link this to nmmexico's original "Junk Train 2011 has left the station!" thread...so that your post here w/pics doesn't get lost on down the line...more RR lingo! This is GREAT fun! Jeanne S.

Oh, I'm so happy that the clear glass flower vase? made it safely! Yeah! I thought it was a beautiful pc & I got it for a bargain price! (& I was hoping it wouldn't break in the box) And I remembered that you collected little watering cans...so am glad you liked them! excessfroufrou made a 'rainchain' out of those black ones w/sunflowers ...some time ago. And I have a twin to the cast iron sun...he's in my enamel pan of 'herbs' ...happy home for it! I'm sure you'll find a good use for the colorful glass birdy, too....I thought it would be good totem material! Lots of goodies there, luna! Have fun! & I hope Campbell isn't wearing you down in this heat...altho it's starting to improve here so maybe up there, too, uh? TFS! Jeanne S.
