Moving, wanna share my junk?

16 years ago

I am in the process of selling my farm and clearing out the "stuff". One large thing that I have is a stack of 8 large (3' x 7') double glazed skylights. I purchased them to use in the building of a sunroom/greenhouse onto my farm house. Unfortunately I was never able to get that project started because of my progressing disability. I live in south-central PA and would love for someone to come and get these goodies. If anyone is interested and lives within a reasonable proximity of me drop me an email or post here. Let me know if you have questions about them.

Buyer Beware> I have bought items from Goodwill off and on for the past few years. We didn't have a store close by. One thing you need to check is the outrageous shipping charges and handling charges. I saw a lovely metal vintage style tea pot I would love to have....bid 3.00 reasonable............shipping 10.00........handling.....2.00. Hmmmmmmmmmm tea pot not so attractive at 15.00 and that's if you get it for the 3.00 bid. I love looking thru all the items Goodwill has but some of their shipping rates are way out of line. All these items are donated and I know for a fact it doesn't cost 10.00 to ship one tea pot. Don't want to rain on your parade just want to make you aware. I also bounce between goodwill and ebay and yes I am a wicked sniper...............LOL Does anyone remember Andy's Warehouse Auction? It was run by Fingerhut no less..........oooooooooh the bargains I got there and their shipping was reasonable. How i miss them. There were a couple others but I don't remember the names. Sigh! Hmmmmmmmmm maybe I should google. Then there's freecycle.............I can't begin to tell you all the goodies I have gotten off there. Ok so I belong to 5 different ones.............:) I subscribe to all that are within a 50 mile radius and try to pick up two or more items on one trip if possible. Anybody watch the Junk Brothers? Boy would I like to find some of the loot they find. And that Workshop............ ChelCass

Whoops, didn't realize this thread had been added to! Karen, I posted about your tray on the other thread but if you want an opinion on the beads please take a pic showing another tray scape. Ya know how we love pics! :-) Kathleen, this is such a coincidence - the blog you posted is one I recently discovered thru another blog. For anyone who loves blogs this is one I recently discovered: http://thepassionatehome.blogspot.com/ Then found this one from there: http://janisgurney.blogspot.com/ Then to the one you posted. These 2 are both Canadian blogs and the first has a shop in a city we occasionally visit so I'll check it out this spring when we travel again. The other blogger makes things from silver objects and sells them in the other blogger's store. Also the lady with the store posted one of my pics I put out on the 'net on her blog!!! Link below. Small world. Thanks Punk! I have lots of other silver things that I'm thinking about using in vignettes and I'll post when I do. I've only recently had my DH paint a silver thing and I like the result but I'll only have him do the ones that are not very good silver. Here is a link that might be useful: my J O Y window 5th down

Up north, DH is working on his garage, which barely had enough walking space to roll up the door and walk to the back corner to go in the basement....which was my route when snow and ice were everywhere. Now, he tore out the spot inside the basement where he hung all the skis from when his kids were living at home, and is turning that area into a mudroom. But to get this work accomplished, he has a huge pile of pure junk out in his driveway. Up there, no good municipal trash pickup like we have in Mobile, so it will cost him a minimum of $200 to call John the trash man to pick up when he has a sufficient size load. It is surprising how MUCH JUNK collects in a man's garage/workshop after 45 years or more. But that was HIS decision to toss the trash, but find new homes for his extensive tool collection. I do not think he realizes just how popular old hand tools are for resale. The stained glass man in Mobile gave up on the business, that is how I could afford the antique window in my bathroom. Now, he is creating cement countertops in the same workshop. Maybe the stained glass business is declining all across the country, and you'll find even more offers of glass from closer to home.

here a Trash to treasure store is going out of business...i work for the owner on occasion for store credit! heres the list of goodies: 41/2 ft. cupboard (has joint compound on it,everywhere but the doors,bun feet and a cool butterscotch glaze! 2 crosses made from oak barrels w/ dream and love tiny metal plaques. shutters made into a coat tree 5 ft tall 2 wooden wall bins 3 rag rugs 2 chrome peg racks 3 pottery spice jars gecko wind chime (noah bells) I think after i used my store credit up i forked over $65 Not too bad! The owner is amazing and taught me to "be one with the Junk" and look beyond the despair and you can find a thing of beauty in a pile of crap no one else wants. This is a good time to put an ad in the newspaper, folks are cleaning house to make way for the new. Just list specific items so you dont get roped into taking all of their unusables to the dump. I would always have cash on hand to give them a tip or something as a thank you if you get into a good pile of goodies, word will get around and you will have more than enough stuff to keep you busy.

I sent emails to both of the posters above and asked for a copy to be sent to my email but have not gotten my copies. So it made me wonder if the system is working. Have you gotten my messages?

Hi Spiderwoman, Where are you moving in California? There are several of us GJ's around the LA area and the curb shopping is great here. Linda

Hi Linda,
Thanks for asking, I will be living with one of my sons in Encinitas in San Diego County. I've already met a couple of the gardeners down there on previous trips. It is a gardener's heaven down there with all the greenhouses. Or I guess you could say it is a gardener's hell with all those greenhouses! One of the GW girls met me on one trip and we spent the day plant shopping and came home broke.
Regards,
spiderwoman (aka: martha)

Just curious spiderwoman, I'm from Central PA too. What city are you closest too?

I am in South-central just outside of the town of Littlestown, PA and 2 miles north of the PA/MD border, 42 miles from Baltimore. Is that any help? Are you interested in the skylights? I have lots of garden goodies to share before my move as well. If you are close enough to come visit me, I would love to share. I am not up to shipping things though. I have woodland things like Goldenseal and a few ginseng that should be moved out but they really require a woodland setting.
Regards,

Hi Spiderwoman,
I just looked up where you are located and I could come for them if they would fit in the back of my Jeep (with the seats laid flat). If I need the pick up truck, I'd have to wait until my DH gets back from a trip, because the brakes are acting up and I'm afraid of it right now. I'd love to see your other goodies, also. I have been working on a woodland setting for the last three years. Maybe you can let me know when is a good time for you. I can come on the weekend or on Monday? Would that work?
Thanks!

Hi Again,
I forgot to ask if you would like canna rhysomes or seeds, perhaps some daylilly seeds. How about a wisteria seed pod or dahlia tubers? All of those should be happy in Ca. Let me know what to bring you!

Hi, I will send you an email with additional information about the skylights. You would need a truck I believe as well as a loading helper. I am physically disabled and of no help when it comes to things like that. I will be very happy to have these go to someone who will use them. Thanks,

Diane, Sorry I have not gotten an email from you. I don't think the GW email system is working. Please realize that the plants are a come and dig them yourself affair. If you still want to email me try: (menehunefarm@comcast.net)Sorry that I can't be more accomodating but I am just too sick to do much physically at this point.
