It's that time for my favorite Junkin Awards
I've been doing this annually since 2009
My 'junkin' has slowed down, but I still love the thrill of the hunt and finding special treasures for my home!
Favorite Find in Pyrex
I had to skip this category last year as I didn't buy any Pyrex...I know! But this year I found this wonderful piece of Town and Country and knew it would be perfect for my Thanksgiving table.
Favorite Find in White and Blue
These two mini pottery pieces are just so sweet!
I see another collection in the making!
Favorite Find in Green
This ironstone creamer was my choice for this category. The green on it just made me fall in love with this sweet piece.
Favorite Find in Red
I've longed for a pair of S&P's with red tops so finding these for $2 just made me so happy!
Favorite Find in Pink
Usually a hard category to choose just one favorite from, but this wonderful pottery vase made the top of the list easily this year.
Favorite Find for Tiger
The favorite find for Tiger by far is this tray table
He uses it every time he visits to eat from. Those cups came in handy also but the tray is the winner and was so inexpensive!
Favorite Find in Plates
Tablescaping took a 'vacation' on my blog this year and I didn't find too many additions to my dish closet. But these 4 little Christmas plates for $1 were too good to pass up. Look for them next year when I hope to be doing more tablescapes.
Favorite Find from the WLYS
I didn't make this event this year since I was in Colorado visiting my friend Kathe! We did do some junkin and many of my favorite things from that day made it in other categories but this was a pure 'Colorado' find
These Coors pottery bowls made in Colorado!
Favorite Find for Christmas
This cute sleigh was my favorite Christmas find and became the centerpiece of my table this year!
Favorite Find 'in' Paris
Well last year I did find some items IN Paris, but since I do find items to add to my Paris collection I'm keeping this category
This made in France gravy boat is the clear winner of my favorite Paris find this year
That wraps up 2014 for me!
Wishing you JOY,
Linda

What a fun post Linda. You know I always enjoy seeing your treasures. Here's to a good year of thrifty finds in 2015!!
That little salt and pepper set is very sweet! Love your awards post! It's so much fun to look back and our favorite things. One of mine would be the reader that you gave me! It's right here on the table beside me. Happy New year my friend and Sis! Hugs, Diane
I love all your finds! It still amazes me what wonderful things we come across! The pink vase is just perfect, oh and the salt shakers, and of course, the Paris find...well like I said I love them all! Hope we have another fun year junkin in 2015! Jane Flora Doora
All wonderful finds but I am partial to the Coors pottery of course :-) And the Paris gravy boat was such an unusual treasure!
My list:
1. The gravy boat for France
2. The pink vase
3. Tiny pottery pieces
Love the post!
How fun Linda! Here's to good hunting for 2015!
Good to see all your junking awards for the year. I too, love tiny little pottery pieces and your blue and white ones are special.
Blessing for 2015

You have so much fun with your Junking! I treasure the teeny tiny white ironstone pitcher I won on your blog giveaway soapy years ago!
Miniature pottery was one of my first collections. Then I moved on to THE BIG STUFF. But, I will love the wee little pieces. I thought of you when I set my completely thrifted Christmas table! Dishes, glasses, decorations and all! Happy 2015 Linda and thanks for always coming to my blog! <3
You found some fun things Linda, the plates are adorable:@)
My favorite is the pink vase, I love pink.
Hugs,
Meredith
Hi Linda...
Pretty finds! I love the Christmas plates and sleigh...and of course, the Town & Country Pyrex. I'm a collector too and just did a post about SOME of my Pyrex...please stop by and take a look! You're on my Blog List to follow!
Hugs,
Jan
the small pottery pieces were my favorite until you showed the french gravy boat! Wonderful winner!
I am hard-pressed to pick a favorite because these are some great finds, Linda, but I flipped over those salt and peppers with the red tops. CUTENESS. Loved them. You found some great things, and I enjoyed seeing your favorites!

Sheila :-)
Your had some wonderful finds, Linda! My favorite is the beautiful gravy boat!
Love the S&P shakers! What a neat idea to pick something from categories at the end of the year.
Brenda
Beautiful finds, Linda! love the pink vase!
Looks like a great year for thrifting! We went out today and I got 3 terrific tool boxes and a tackle box. We found these amazing red bottles and I even got a minnow bucket. What fun we have buying other people's junk! Happy New Year!
I do think the Paris creamer is the best find~
Happy New Year.
warmly,
deb
How much fun it was to see your favorites from 2014! You have a real knack of finding things that please you. xo Nellie
My favorite post of the year from you. Seriously, I wait all year for this :) Love those sale and pepper shakers!
Love this post you dO each year! You found some great things throughout the year! I look forward to seeing this year's finds as well. Have a blessed Sunday!
Hugs, Vicky
I love all your finds, Linda. But you know I have my eye on that mini pottery!!!

I remember my mother having the exact same set of S&Ps....fun!
Now has Charlie selected his faves of the year? Anything he was exceptionally interested in when you unpacked it?
Linda,
Fun post! I have a green vase exactly like your pink one. I too am trying to downsize so I can have less stress and more fun. Sounds like heaven to me.
Clara
What great finds, Linda! Loving the pretty little S & P set with red tops! Happy New Year! Cecilia
Lovely finds, cheery and useful too. Great idea for a post about your best junkin finds. Happy New Year.
Joy
Hi Linda - so nice to 'meet' you! Thank you for your sweet visit! I love all of your vintage finds - especially the Pyrex and I am particularly coveting those red-topped shakers! I just switched my kitchen decor to white and red....I love your blog and congratulations on being a Grandma in April. I am going to be a first time Grandma in May. So many blessings for both of us. Happy New Year! xo Karen
I remember when you found some of those - I have to agree the French little pourer is so sweet.
Oh Linda! I am so glad to meet you through blogging! I love your blog and cannot wait to see and read more! Hugs and best wishes for a brand new year!
Those red-top salt and pepper shakers have to be my favorite. Great find... great price!!! Here's looking forward to 2015 favorite finds!!!
I am thinking the creamer with the pretty green leaves and the dainty little yellow and orange flowers is my favorite. I can see a little bouquet of daisies to decorate the summer breakfast table in it.
I can feel my resolve to cut back on the thrifting this year dissolving.... along with my resolve to thin out my collections of this and that....Candy
Hi Linda I love all of your vintage pieces! I really like your new blog design. Enjoy the rest of the week and hppy new year.
Julie
What a fun way to remember your treasures! I really enjoyed seeing your goodies. I do LOVE those snowmen plates...just so dang cute.
Hugs,
Linda
Everything is so lovely - I have serious vintage envy!

Dropping by to give you a big hug to start the week off right! xoxox
And I am still crushing on all your goodies!

Sheila :-)
what a great idea to celebrate a wonderful year gone by! so many treasures to choose from! (but i think the pink vase is my favorite...)
I love your Christmas plates! Since they are just snowmen and not overtly Christmassy I would be happy to use them year round :)
