Description: In this companion volume to her two previous Junk books, Mary Randolph Carter brings her usual enthusiasm and fanciful ideas to the art of collecting and decorating with second-hand items. Here is everything you could imagine for the kitchen -- coffeepots, vintage stoves, old milk bottles, tupperware from the 1950s, cookie tins, toasters, clocks -- found at flea markets, auctions, and tag sales. Carter's unique talent for gathering the right junk and arranging it in imaginative ways makes this book a wonderful springboard for the reader's own ideas about decorating a kitchen with vintage items. Carter tells the reader where she found each item and how much she paid, and offers valuable advice on how to "junk" along with tips such as cleaning old linens and how to avoid rust on baking pans. The Junk Guide at the back of the book lists stores and flea markets across the country.
