Junk Finds: $2 Church Print, Antique Mason Jars, Furniture, More

My junk finds from the past couple of months have been fantastic. I bought a variety of things from the local online auction and my favorite junk shop.

Things have been a little crazy around the Owen house, and I didn’t realize it had been over two months since I shared my finds. I know how you guys like to see them so enjoy!

This large print is a beauty, and for only $2, it was a good deal. It was rolled up in a cardboard tube and perfect shape. The Reckoning” Print by M.E. Stokes has a certificate of authenticity with information about the church.

Certificate of Authenticity certifies that the print of The Reckoning is by M.E. Stokes. The Reckoning is located at Hurricane Mills. TN. It was used as a hospital during the Civil War in 1863. The battle was fought on the north side of the old Plantation home of Mr. Anderson, where several soldiers were killed or wounded in battle.

Loretta Lynn and her family now own and live on the property—the one that inspired the painting. The Reckoning depicts Nathan Bedford Forrest arriving at the scene of his dead brother with reckoning on his mind.

Hurricane Mills and Loretta Lynn’s property is only about an hour from our home. I pass by her campgrounds and highway to her property every time I drive to Arkansas to visit Dad.

I drove through one day and stopped at her old mill store by the creek, taking several pictures of her mansion and the surrounding area. I couldn’t find those photos to share with you. This was several years ago, and I know I have the photos. When I find them, I will share them.

I bought the colorful framed art for $14. It was sitting on the fireplace mantel until I started redecorating around our new furniture. It will be at my booth at Warehouse 41.

The miniature Elvis cars collectibles item was in a box lot of stuff I purchased.

These heavy-duty scales were $7.

I bought the small glass case to display jewelry in my booth. I will replace the knobs with a lock. It’s sad. but we have to lock things up these days. The display case was $12.

A photo of the box lot of stuff that included the Elvis cars. It contained a lot of Disney stuff. I mainly bought it for the basket. The price for all of it was $8. Yay!

The following four photos are of a box lot of stuff I purchased for $15.

These were a bunch of items, and if you have not read the blog post on painting the silver plate trophy, you need to see the color!

Most of these items will be displayed in my booth for sale.

I love miniature things, and the perfume bottles were calling my name. I think I got a good deal since the entire box lot was $15.

The miniature reverse paintings/silhouettes were $6. I love silhouettes, but I haven’t decided what to do with them.

The “Kirkland” stool was $12. It will be featured on the next Thrift Store Decor tour.

The large blue ball mason jars were $17.50.

The small group of blue ball jars with lids was $20. I think I got a good deal on all the blue jars. Do you decorate with vintage mason jars? Do you think they are still a thing?

I probably paid too much for the group of jars in the photo above. The lot of them was $12.

The vintage waterfall chair was $12. I don’t know why I bought it but you can the details are lovely. I already painted the chair and recovered the seat.

The following photos of junk finds are from the junk shop. I bought several pots like these on two different junkin’ trips.

They were only $1, and they are made of plastic.

The wrought iron piece will be hanging on a wall somewhere in my house. I was going to buy the ugly chest of drawers but it had just been grabbed up.

The round table is also a finished piece painted in a nautical design. See, I told you guys it has been a while since I posted my finds.

The twinkle sign and the tiny gold mirror are things I can upcycle. I think they were a dollar each.

The candle holder will be going to the booth.

I’ve already taken these wrought iron pieces to my booth, but if they haven’t sold, I’m bringing them home and maybe using them in the family room as part of my new decor.
