Junk Bonanza Review

Just back home from Junk Bonanza and a good time was had by all.  Once again, it was a great show with lots of wonderful vendors offering unique and fun vintage items.  Following are photos of some of the booths that offered everything from primitive to industrial, shabby chic to rustic...

We made some stops on the way to the Junk Bonanza and will be listing our finds in our Etsy shop in the near future.  Watch for our return on September 24th.

If you missed this Bonanza, mark your calendar for next April - for the first spring show.

Sightings at Springfield

Just back from my junking adventure at the Springfield Extravaganza and the Vintage Marketplace in Ohio.  We enjoyed a day and a half of shopping for vintage treasures.  A great time was had by all.  Following are some of the sights of Springfield:

Junking Trip

I traveled down to Dixon, Illinois, yesterday to visit a very good friend and her family.  Besides catching up on recent news, we had junking on our minds.  I found some fun items that I will be listing in our Etsy shop - or saving for my booth at the first ever Vintage Flea & Finds Market to be held in Madison, Wisconsin, on April 21st.  If you will be in the area, be sure to mark your calendar for this event.  Coming soon: you will be able to view more information about the market and dealers at http://www.vintagefleaandfinds.com/.
