junktiquing with lulu

JUNKTIQUE: A home design and fashion look that borrows heavily from the past, and portrays a shabby, vintage, often French feel. A.K.A.-unique use of junk.

These pictures (mostly taken by Karly) are from our recent trip to Temecula, where La Maison Rustique held it's monthly Barn Sale of all things junktique. Some items are old, some are new, all are junk. The ladies who were there selling their tattered elegance and fluffy finds were all too happy to ignore us, so Karly and I were all too happy to linger around, take it all in, and take photos.

We bought zero vintage, no shabby, and not a drop of chic or French. But we did stop at the Home Goods up there, and scored some NEWTIQUES! I like new stuff. Stuff you can easily return if you change your mind. Stuff that has not been used for mice nesting in someone's attic.

This thing is real, and made up of about 4 little guys. One winked at me.






Crowns - the new headbands?


Should have bought the ring - only 9 smackers, and so shabbylishly cauute!

Furry skitten heels - the new flip flops?




A new use for those old doll heads we all have lying around. Just put 'em in an urn, and instant centerpiece!

JUNKTIQUE may not be your cup of tea, but it sure is fun!

What? You didn't buy those baby doll heads? We use Tegan as our centerpiece... what's the difference if you just used the heads?

Check the comment on the Westhaven trip. By the way, Holly's room is always open. Loved having you and can hardly wait for your return. See you Friday.
