The thrill of the hunt is the best part of junking. I believe the thrill is created by the not knowing. The possibility of finding a gem in a tattered box of seemingly worthless kitchen utensils, a treasure left to rot on the floor of a fallen down barn, or a love note hidden in the pages of a time worn book.
Every so often I stumble upon a place that excites and energizes the junker in me.
Behind closed doors I found a room of wonder. A once busy train station used as a storage facility for unwanted pieces of history.
The prettiest robin's egg blue walls spoke quietly, urging me to explore.
I found out the building may be for sale. Wish it was in my neck of the woods.
I know you too, have experienced this feeling of wonderment. We never know what lies behind closed doors. I have learned over the years if you are brave enough to open the door your life will be richer and way more fun!

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I get an excited nervousness every time I hit a weekly auction wondering what's going to be in field after field, what treasures I'm going to find!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Linda that it would make a fabulous shop! Where is it?
So true! I am super curious about opening that trunk door :) Lovely little building by the way.
ReplyDeleteYou've excited the junker in me, too! I LOVE that old train station building!! Wouldn't that make a beautiful home...or shop... or guest cottage(sigh)... love it! I would love to know where it is, too.

This is how I felt every time as a child I went into the attic of the barn where my grandfather did woodworking. And then to his garage where there was always a hidden treasure to be found. I can still see and smell the rooms today.
ReplyDeleteThe thrill of the hunt is addicting, isn't it! I know my heart always starts beating a little faster when I spot a new place to dig for buried treasure! What a great find! I love all of the pictures. How I'd like to ramble through that building! ~Sheilla

Just found your new site after purchasing the wonderful new magazine. Hate to tell you...but Ray Pelley's store closed this past week ( had a store wide auction to clear it out) Didn't you love Kirchoff's!! Am not from Paducah, but have a good friend that has a wonderful antique store downtown. Anthony Barnes antiques
ReplyDeleteWhere is it - where is it?! AWESOME! :)
