Hello again to all of our friends and family! After MUCH hard work and and a WHOLE ♥ LOTTA ♥ LAUGHTER, Paint Pan Patty's is finally ready to reopen on Saturday, March 3, 2012. Rain or shine (but not tornadoes!), we'll be there. We've worked our fingers to the bone tearing down, rearranging, dusting, painting, and we're really anxious for you all to come and check it out!

In between work days, we've also managed to slip out to some of our favorite junking spots and load up on new treasures. Patty's been hard at work pricing the new merchandise.

Those of you who have actually visited our shop will remember our backroom where anything we couldn't find a place for was dumped! Well, it's a different story now. Feast your eyes and take a look at these Before & After's.....

Great.......right??? I know!! Patty and I are very proud of the fact that this whole kitchen re-do cost us almost zero dollars. Of course, we operate on a shoestring at Paint Pan Patty's, and Reduce, Reuse, Recycle whenever possible, which turns out to be about 99.9% of the time. For instance, Patty found the old Hoosier cabinet in pieces on a trash pile beside the road, brought it home, put it back together, painted it blue, and now we have this great old piece in our kitchen. I purchased the old tool cabinet at an auction for $5 and gave it a whole new life with new green paint outside and yellow inside. It now makes a bright and colorful home for our Pyrex collection.
We hope you'll come check us out when you get a chance. We are so anxious to share all of this funky, vintage lovliness with you! And for those of you who don't live
anywhere near Wetumpka, Alabama, USA, we greatly appreciate you reading about our little shop in the country and hope you continue to enjoy our blog. Patty and I are always on the prowl for great new junk, and there's usually a funny story or two that goes along with our adventures.
