Ain't Got No Junk In MY Trunk

Pffffffffttttt.
HA!  It's not even MY trunk.
It belongs to my friend, Ruthie.

I think I left you hanging
a few days ago.after
I promised a peek at what 
was inside some trunks
at Ruthie's house.

Ready to see?
Well, I am only opening ONE
this morning!
But both trunks are FULL of the same thing.
It's a bride and groom.
No! Not a REAL bride and groom, silly.
It's a set of Storybook dolls.
It's a whole trunk full of 
STORYBOOK DOLLS.
The other trunk is full of antique dolls.
LOTS of antique dolls.
I have SO MUCH MORE stuff to show you
BUT---
I have to get going.
There is lots to do.
SO---
If you are good-
very, very good-
tomorrow I will show you
some of the stuff that went 
out the door to the 
auction house!

Got any junk in
YOUR trunk?
Huh?

    There's a lot of junk in my trunk, dear, but I am not showing that on here ever.
    Hope you have a good day and you had better post the stuff that went to auction.

    Oooh, I love looking at dolls, Diana! I have no place to put them myself, but I do like looking at them. I guess they make me think back to when I was a child. I'd like to hear if these dolls went to auction.

    Oh the dolls are like my nieces collection. Wow interesting in that junk first look.

    I went to a Greek wedding many years ago and in the trunk a little more modern trunk. My friend who is the Mom had made over the years so much needle point things. knitting, and blankets to know end for her daughter as a surprise. I never knew Tina ever did anything being a full time hairdresser. Was all for her daughter as an extra surprise. If you know Greeks. They are so big in gifts for showers and weddings. I was so blown away when I was there.

    So I was thinking in that trunk was things like that you would show. So your still going to surprise us to-morrow. So who knows what is in that trunk. Role call please.

    Thanks for the peek a booo lady dear..

    Have a nice day.

    I think all that is wonderful - she looks like she has saved for a very long time. Have you ever watched the show on the history channel - American Pickers - I wonder if you called them - they would want to come and pick in her things lol sandie

    Mine is full of vintage linens but outgrew the trunk so I have some in those big office depot clear boxes you can see through. I have them separated like Spring, Fall, Christmas, Valentines so I can find them! Her dolls are terrific. Thanks for sharing Diana!

    Hi, The junk in my trunk is not appropriate for auction.
    I don't even want it but it keeps following me around.
    We are home now and I am still tired. I did get the laundry finished. Hope to catch up on blog reading.

    Okay, Now it is time to see what I have been storing around here. I really think I do not want to have to go through all of it when we get ready to retire or whatever!!
    A trunk of dolls??
    Some doll collecter will go bonkers, just not for me!
    Know what I mean?
