New items added this week

RoboJunker items can now be seen at:

Ye Old City Antique Mall is located in Tyler TX, near downtown. Go east on Locust Street and it's just past the RR tracks. More than 30 booths are filled with antiques, arts and crafts, home decor items, & collectibles.


I saw his project in an antique store last week. I am always wondering what to do with old piano rolls. Well they've taken it and added a graphic of an old player piano, placed the piano roll behind and framed it. What a neat project for that music room.



***Newsflash***

Last week I promised some news from the Junk world, so hear goes. Ki Nassauer, Junker Extraordinaire, is going in a new direction. She will continue her monthly column in Country Home magazine, and having her annual Junk Bonanza . In addition to that, she is starting a new venture called Junk Revolution . Junk Revolution will be a FREE website devoted to Junk, Junkers, Ideas, Projects, Shopping etc. I was lucky enough to spend some time with Ki on the phone this week and she’s got lots of great ideas for the Junkers out there, so be sure to pop on over to her website and sign up for updates and information on what’s coming in the Junk Revolution.


In addition, this is a reminder that the annual Junk Bonanza is coming up in September in Minneapolis . Ki has put together a wonderful gift bag for purchasers of Early Bird Admission tickets, in addition to getting to shop EARLY, and snag all the great Junk. And as I’ve mentioned before, the Red Shed Girls can make it easy for you by booking your flight, hotel, transportation, getting your early bird tickets, and some added excursions, all for a great package price. Be sure to check out their package here I’ve already booked mine so come along with us for some fun in the north country.
