Old items have been given a makeover and a new purpose at Funky Junk N' More, located at 6670 Crystal Lake Road, Three Lakes. The items will be available for purchase Sept. 3-5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"We're a vintage/retro thing and we do repurposing," said Faith Rutowski, owner. "Our motto is 'rescue, repurpose, reuse."

The shop sells lawn art, home decor, flea market-style items and more.

Just a small sampling of their creativity includes benches made out of cribs, lawn art made out of old farming machinery, kitchen items that used to be used in farm life, refurbished shelves and furniture, and towel shelves made out of the backs of chairs.

"There's things that you have that are mainly going to be garbaged or thrown away, we'll try to take it and repurpose or reuse it and make it into something you can use in your house, your office, your yard, wherever you want to use it," Rutowski said.

This is the second summer for the sales, which are held once a month for three days from May to September.

Other hours for the shop are by request only.
