So, where does all the yardsale junk go after a yardsale is over?? Well, to junk heaven, that’s where. There’s a place out past where we live called J & J Junk Sale (right on Hwy. 280 East for you AL girls) & I’ve stopped in there a couple of times. The place is jam-packed with all sorts of things. Not sure where it all came from, but it looks like it might be the remants of yardsale stuff all over the Southeast. In case you’re wondering, I’m not much of a mall girl. Now, I can get dressed up with the best of them, but in my spare time, I’d rather hang out in a junkstore than the mall any day!
This is outside under the shed. All sorts of things out there to dig through. If you don’t mind digging…which I don’t.
Inside, there are rows & rows of stuff! A whole row of nothing but lace, ribbon, & old sewing items. There’s no telling what you might find in here.
Rows of old kitchen appliances, cookware, etc. I had fun walking through & looking at everything. I’m sure if you took the time, you could find some real treasures in here. I haven’t seen a junk store as big as this one…ever!
Plates, glassware, cups & mugs, all things glass. You know there has to be some great items tucked in here among the discards.
Knick-knacks galore! Granny would be proud to own a few of these.
Look at all the plates. You’d have to take a lot of time going through all of these to find a treasure.
More kitchen items.
Kitschy things abound.
Seashell wreath anyone?
Lamps and baskets. Everything I saw was very reasonably priced. Almost as good as yardsales.
Clear glass things & a few old tired vaccum cleaners.
Lampshades for those hard to fit lamps. Maybe this is where I need to look for a new lampshade for my recent vintage lamp find. Hummmmmm!
Lamps & floral supplies.
Remember those Floraline pottery pieces I wrote about awhile back…here’s 2 of those, very cheap! I still like the color of these.
Old linens & there are rows & rows of clothes too.
Pillows a’plenty.
White vases and tucked among them was a pretty white pottery piece. I didn’t buy it, but I will definitely check back from time to time. I think this one was $4.50, which isn’t bad for a pretty white vase. This would definitely look good with my collection. Maybe I should have bought it!
More vintagey items.
Great junk store-I love it! I too would rather rummage through a junk store than the mall any day. Thanks for the tour.
You’re a better woman than me, Rhoda. Thought I could go junkin’ as much as the next one. But after seeing all that, my eyes are glazed over!

Wow – this shop looks like Junk Store heaven :-} … If we had a shop like that in my town, I’d be there weekly :-} Thanks for the pictures Rhoda.
OMG! My mouth just dropped I would LOVE to spend the day there. I wish I could talk my husband in going there for a vaction. Well I think you might know that answer.I will have to try to find out if there is somewhere like that here in CA.
Have a wonderfu weekend

Oh my gosh, what a heavenly place!! I would LOVE to spend an hour or two there. I am so not a clutterbug, but I’m sure there are pieces of perfect treasure to be dug up.
Wow, that junk store looks like my kind of store!! I could pack a lunch and stay and dig all day.
Blessings!
Hi there…found your blog and a woman who thinks like me. I need to take a picture of our Goodwill where I love to spend time and search for that bargain. Great pictures!
Wow! That sure looks like a place I could spend some time in. Just imagine the treasuer you might find around the next corner…
Have a geat weekend!
xoxo,
Mary
oh my goodness. I need to go. How long does it take to get to there from Minnesota??
OH MY GOSH!! I have never seen so much stuff!!
The mother load of all junk stores for sure!!
I’m with you Rhoda, I would much rather go junkin than go to a Mall. Do not like Malls.
Wow! Can’t imagine living near that temptation!
I don’t remember how I found your blog but I’m SO glad I did! I LOVE it!
You HAVE to tell me where this junking bonanza store is! I’m in West GA, right on the AL border, so I’m dying to know if it’s in driving distance from me!
Rhoda, we can’t help but run into each other sooner or later. J&J is one of my stops. Actually, it’s one of the first things I ever blogged about! LOL I had a few pictures, but yours capture the the spirit of the store so much better.
OOOOOooooooooo I’m just itching to get into that place! I saw lots of things I’d like to investigate…….unfortunately I live too far away!

Wow. If you didn’t post pictures it would be hard describe how large this place is. I don’t I’ve ever seen anything so large. I hope you had fun.
Boy, would I like to take a stroll through that place. It would be my downfall I am sure. I have so much “stuff” now. Thanks for the great pics.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure applies to this shop!
Hope you had a great trip, we just went up to Hendersonville NC today. Wow! I love that junk shop, that’s just my kind of place!
OMGOSH!! I think I’m in heaven looking at those pictures!! I think I would have had to pitch a tent right there in the middle of the place and stay until they kicked me out! 🙂
Thanks so much Rhoda for stopping by my thread with the lovely words, I am going to put you on my blog desserts list so I can always come back here and drool. I just LOVE your banner.
*muah*

Rhoda,
How big is this place? I would definitely walk through…you never know what awaits…buried behind something you wouldn’t want…..
We will go going to our cabin in a couple of weeks to winterize…sometimes we ride over to Murphy…..have fun….Betty
What a wonderful place. I could spend an entire weekend there! It reminds me of this great junk store we used to go to in New Bern, NC. It looked like a GIANT barn and it was filled with everything under the sun. My sister and I spent almost 3 hours in there one day. Loved it!!
