Okay, okay two posts in one day I know. I'm not an obsessed weirdo, I promise. I just thought I'd explain what most will wonder when they see the URL, title, and signatures to my blog. "Rag-N-Bone"!?! Nope, not the clothes line.
Well my friends--It is the epitome of this blog. Thanks to the music geniuses Jack & Meg White of the White Stripes (one of my all time favorite bands) their song, Rag and Bone, says it all....
"Well can't you hear we're selling rag and bone?
Bring out your junk and we'll give it a home
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and give it to me."
The song goes on and on, but you get the idea. I used to jam out to this song in my car, just because it is so dang fun, but now it takes on a whole new meaning due to my obsession with flea markets and re-creation of old to new!
Go ahead...give it a listen! (Hopefully this works!)
I ran into a book at Barnes and Noble that is pure genius. It's called "Junk Beautiful" by Sue Whitney & KI Nassauer. These rockin' ladies raid the flea markets, buy some junk, and make that junk into a glorious finished product. I don't know what is so intriguing to me about this process, but it's amazing. People throw out things they see as old, damaged, and well..JUNK! But thankfully there are those out there that can take these nothings and turn them into something sweet, something beautiful. In the words of my boyfriend, "SWISH!" These cool people can be known as "Junkers," and I'm setting out to become one myself. Booya!
Okay so back to Rag-N-Bone. For a more proper or traditional definition of this, let us turn to our true friend of all knowledge...Wikipedia!
Satisfied? So now that all the introductory biz-naz is out of the way, let's get this party started. I already have some pics to post, so keep a watch out!
