Who Are Junk in Da Trunk Girls?

Hello Peoples that have found this blog:-) We are a mother and daughter team of vintage treasure hunters. We believe in Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. What is old is always new again to someone else.  We run this shop , and we love the feeling of a good ol' treasure hunt and get super happy when we find something we truly think is special.  Sadly to us though, we by no means have any "junk" in our trunk as the hip hop songs would say, we literally just put the junk we find into the trunk of whichever vehicle we are driving.

Now I know I may have offended some of you by calling things junk but honestly to the original owner that threw it out, donated or is selling it at auction/flea market/garage sale/estate sale it was/ is  junk. They didn't want it and didn't realize someone else maybe looking for it, they just wanted to get rid of it.  That's where those of us that are interested in the old come into play.  There are some fabulous things that we have come across but aren't necessarily what we collect but we know that there is someone out there that either had one before or is collecting them now, and we feel a deep need to rescue said object from the inevitable garbage. Our shops mission is that by either looking at, or taking home, your heart is touched, and you are blessed with a sweet memory of your past.

Without further ado we bring to you the junk we are drawn too:-)


 Mom is drawn too:
Sprinklers
Watering Cans
Flower Frogs
In general garden fun
Picnic Baskets
Clocks
Globes


Daughter is drawn too:
Pyrex
Cameras
Children's Books
Owls
Cake Carriers

Now we do not necessarily want to limit ourselves on what you can expect from this blog. But some of the things we are  interested in are reusing something and making it into something else, or finding a new purpose for the object, showcasing of new inventory for the shop and a history lesson on some of the objects we have found or would like to find. Thanks for stopping by and we hope to see you around here again soon!
