Thank you "Salvation Junkers"!

Thank you to all who stopped by my booth and for all your sweet comments!

I enjoyed having the gals from thequietnest.blogspot.com as my neighbor. These two are so cute and fun....umm, to their husbands....still no Krispy Kreme? Come on guys!!!!

 I did my best not to travel far from my space because I would of went home with way more things than I started with! Unfortunately, I did not take any photos during the event other than just a few pics of my space.  Hope everyone who attended had a blast and was able to take home some vintage loveliness!
A special thank you to my mom for all her help!  I loved having her at this event with me! Love you!

Junk Salvation

I'm cleaning out the closets and digging into my personal stash of "junk" just for this event!

I'm overflowing with junk....so its time to clean out the garage (a certain somebody will be tickled "pink" to hear about this) and give you a chance to take home some vintage loveliness for yourself!

So be sure to grab yourself a "martini" and stop on by and say hello!  See ya there!

Happy Valentines Day!

So I'm at the store, buying large quantities of dog and cat food for donations (please remember the shelter animals this holiday season and make a donation of food, blankets and chew toys) and as I'm making my way through the store, I glance around to see hearts.  Yes...as in hearts for Valentines Day!  Really????  I guess it is only a couple of months away.  So, Merry Christmas and Happy Valentines Day to you!!!!!

This time last year I was in New York City enjoying the holiday season.  I loved seeing all the window displays and just being in the city days before Christmas. 

 I was surprised by the size of the tree at Rockefeller Center.  Much smaller than I expected.  It always looks much larger when you see it on television.  I guess living in the Pacific Northwest I'm a little to use to LARGE tree's!

The window displays were by far my favorite!  Bergdorf Goodman and Lord&Taylor had the best displays in my opinion.

I loved the dress used in the display for Lord&Taylor and since all dresses were marked down 30% I was on a mission to find this dress before the store closed.  Ummm, found it and it was lovely but at $4000, a picture is almost just as nice.  But I was able to find a super cute dress that looked like it came from Anthropologies without the steep price one would pay at their store!

Of course I did do some of the usual stuff you do while in NYC during the holidays.  Saw the Rockettes, The Nutcracker, cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery, Top of the Rock and ice skating at Rockefeller Center while it was snowing!

If our weather does not warm up soon I think I will be spending this holiday season in Arizona!  Brrrrr!  I'm off to Snohomish this week to check out all the antique stores and hunt for treasures so I will be posting pictures from my adventures!  Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas!  Happy Holidays to all!!!!!!

FuNky JuNK....hope you were there!

First let me say what WoNderFuL vendors and such nice, nice ladies I had in my area.  This was my first sale and I ended up having the best time meeting other vendors, bloggers (Miss Aurora Suzette & Miss Catty Wampus) and such nice people who bought my junk(she said lovingly).  It was such fun being with people who love JuNk just as much as I do! 

I saw the pillars and fell in love, instantly!  I so wanted these but alas they did not come home with me!  It wasn't the lack of Jennifer trying to sell them to me....I just imagined the conversation I would be having with my husband explaining how I had bought these beauties and how we would be loading them into the truck and  coming home with us!  Not a conversation I was willing to have!!!!!

So many talented artist at this show and seriously....a lot of incredible finds!  The night before the sale, when we were trying to unload our truck of stuff, I had to keep myself from walking around to look at all the incredible stuff from other vendors.  I could have easily loaded the truck back up with new finds that night!   

 I managed to clear out a lot of stuff.  Some things that did not sell, I piled up and told the vendors around me that they could have what they wanted for free!  A win win for all.  They get new treasures and I get to clear out some goodies!

Thank you to my friend Michelle for helping me out on this sale!  And big thanks to my husband for all his help and lifting of heavy, heavy items like the wood stove!

There were a few vendors that I had to keep returning to their booth just to make sure I did not overlook anything!  Friday night was CraZY!  A lot of people came out to support the Ta-Ta's and get first dibs on some pretty great treasures! 

 

All I can say is sign me up for the next FuNkY JuNK sale!
