Junk Bonanza

In case you didn't make it to Junk Bonanza this fall,

I have a few recap photos to share.

My original shopping buddy bailed out on me,

and thank goodness for my replacement.

She was the perfect partner, 

we are both die hard shoppers.

She's a great city driver & introduced me 

to the Khans restaurant.

I got to see Kirklands & World Market 

for the first time too!

Yes, I live under a rock.

These wire columns were so eye catching.

The vertical spectacles looked sharp stuffed with bittersweet.

This cool old desk caught my eye!

Those butcher block looking legs gave

it a very unique appeal.  The interior 

organization nooks would be so handy!

The flat surface angled up for a comfy

writing surface.  

I just had to buy one of those film strip bows (on the goose)

after having year long regrets.  1st Pick Antiques is one

of my favorite vendors.   They always have some shock

power in their booth.  Last spring it was a VW bus checkout

area.  This year....a huge clock.  It was marked sold.

I loved the color tones in the next booth.

gray, coral, turquoise & white

This booth is Ramshackled Treasures, 

 their blue jar candles smelled delightful.

If you were in need of a suitcase,

you'd find the perfect one at the Bonanza!

Not to mention dress forms, crates, buckets, 

basket, urns, pillows & bags.

This arbor bench was darling, with a tin roof

and porch spindle sides.  Let's just say it is now on my

honey-do-list!  Many people go to the show to steal 

ideas and gain inspiration.  You leave there on a high,

from endless knowledge & ideas.  It's amazing.

The new Canterbury Downs building is much better than

the former tunnel area, which was so congested.

This tote is from last spring, 

but I jazzed it up a bit with burlap & vintage lace.

It was fun to carry my purchases in it there.

It was my first attempt at ruffles!

I adore that look & left the edges tattered for a junky look.

I'd  like to share what I bought in future posts,

so please keep checking my blog!

Maybe you'll see a few crafts inspired by the show 

as well.  If YOU went to Junk Bonanza, leave a comment

sharing your favorite vendor, purchased items or 

the best idea that you spotted there.
