Plan Ahead

One thing about selling junk

is that you always have to plan WAY ahead.

That means when it's spring, you're pricing

summer items and when it's fall you're finishing 

up the Christmas stock.  A month before the ground

thaws up north, I've got my spring items out for all 

the anxious people to browse.

This theory is also true 

if you're considering any shows!

Today I submitted my Junk Bonanza

application for the FALL show.

I'd like try a table, rather than a full booth space.

Being a vendor is an investment of money 

and a large amount of time.

But when you sleep, eat & breathe junk....

being part of a show like Junk Bonanza

is a dream come true.  If you've never been,

it's a MUST SEE!  They've expanded their

show locations to several more states. 

 Minnesota is April 16-18

and September 24-26 in 2015.

This old matted photograph is part 

of the mock show display that I recently set up.  

The copper fireplace screen makes 

a great clip board back drop!

Many of my crafts feature book pages,

especially dictionaries!!!

I used Distress ink to make the checkerboard

pattern on this LIFE sign.

What could be better than old sewing drawers 

filled with upcycled vintage greeting cards???

I swoon over those old floral 

images & meaningful sayings.

I really enjoy stamping on items and finding 

darling new ways to use old junk items!

I love jazzing up old bottles by

draping rhinestones & old bracelets

around their necks.  The bottles shown here 

are old syrup and ketchup containers.

I've been mass producing the

flag stamped dictionary page

votive candle jars!

I'm excited for summer and

my new patio we installed late last year. 

 The Fourth is always a fun holiday

 to decorate for and we have

 lots of relatives coming.

Thanks for scrolling through my 

blog post, I hope you enjoyed it!
