Wow!! Beautiful!! You better give that several coats of clear sealer if they didn't. Really charming & so upscale like the finest jewelry stores are of course!! Enjoy!! Jan

OH WOW! love it love it!
I thought of all kinds of different buildings for the Junktion, but that's one I never thought of was a jewelry store!! And I had a bunch of old jewelry right next to where I was working and tried to fit a pc in everyonce in a while but couldn't make it work.
That's fantastic, great job tenderlee & DH!
I have to go back now and look at those pics some more-so many details. Really wonderful, Even stained glass!

So glad y'all like it, especially Miss TMG/Kathy! It was such fun to work on, and now I miss having my lil project to tinker with!

Stay tuned, I'm gonna start a thread soon and let y'all in on where we got most of our "parts".

And no, that's not stained glass, just a little board I painted, behind the metal front. I was going for that look, though, so thanks! I'm not much of a painter, and that's why most of my project is glued-on.

BTW, They have 2 coats of clear varnish on them already, but might need more. ~tenderlee

Here's different angles and details.

Those are wonderful Tenderlee!!! I love all of the details...they will make a wonderful addition to the town for sure!

OH HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE!!!!

tenderlee (and DH)....LOVELY, LOVELY!!! What great ideas! Just sparkles and sparkles! And TWO for ONE even! TFS pics! Jeanne S.

Totally Incredible and gorgeous. WOW. Mayor Toomuch must be beaming over her town's latest additions. She has a truly amazing town thanks to you GJers being so creative and artistic!

Tenderlee, thank you for showing another view to see the 3-D effect. Kudos to you and Steve on all your work.

hugs, Karen

Tose are just too cool!!!

How lovely! I thought of volunteering to do one but thought mine would look like one of those tacky houses on the wrong side of the tracks because I can't paint worth a lick either. lol! The two buildings tenderlee & her DH made are just fantastic and didn't require much in the way of painting ... although they still required some great talent! Love them both. I can't wait to see Garden Junk-tion in all its glory.

That is so special, your "town" is getting very UPSCALE LOL
Great use of "stuff" and charming as all get out!

WOW WOW WOW! That is just so fantastic!!! Bling town all the way! Yes Tenderlee is amazing!!!

Neato! :)
I've seen several mentions of Garden Junk-tion, but haven't actually seen it.
Are there more pictures?

Here's the link to the album of Mayor Toomuch's Garden Junk-tion done so far.

Tenderlee those are GAWJUS!!!!

You've done such a beaut job!

TMG I can't wait to see you put all these houses together for your fence. You are still going to do that, right?

I'm having second thoughts -- I Starting putting a few up -- and the squirrels tried "moving in " -- and NOT IN A NICE WAY . I'm so afraid of damage .... they are on my plate rail in my dining room . I might have to have an "Indoor village" .... *sigh* - I Wanted it along my railing so bad ,too . In or Out ---- everything is gorgeous !!!

On the Potting Shed, we'll pretend the little silver chair left of the door is a child's chair, because it isn't in scale with the hoe, watering can, etc, but I couldn't resist using it.

Did ya notice the tiny license plates on the Shed? Those little Tenn plates came in an old cookie tin containing nails & screws that a neighbor had placed at the curb. It was probably on a key chain at one time, and now made it to WI.

One thing missing is a mini bottle .... and I'm talkin' mini. It needs to be even smaller than an insulin bottle. On the hook holding the Shed sign, is a perfect spot to add a colored bottle .... anyone want to add a mini colbalt blue? LOL

The shed itself came from a thrift store , it's actually a ceramic piece 3/4 the size of the wooden one. This will give you a better idea of the size difference ....

Y'all been using words like "upscale" and "high class" well what else would you expect from someone named tennesseetrash?!? LOL I really didn't mean for it to turn into a jewelry store, I was doing a fairy house, and as I got closer to finishing, I either had to learn to paint real quick, or get busy gluing and just used what was at hand. It just evolved.

TMG/Kathy I am hearing you loud and clear about those destructive squirrels! I can just see them munching down on all your great creations, so I'm sure you'll do what's best. I vote that your DH hop out back and build you one of those beautiful greenhouses made from old windows, then place the City inside all that glass :-) .... if he reads this he ain't gonna like me lol, so while he's at it he could do some custom made shelves for the lil houses .... snork ....

I appreciate all the positive comments, I was so shy about it, but now I need a new project! I didn't even know what GEII smelled like til this project, DH gave me some cool tools I can handle .... been a lotta fun. ~tenderlee

In case ya missed where the parts came from, here's the link for that .....
