Today's double feature: Too cute!

 
Emily Steele of Burlap & Grace definitely has the corner on cute when it comes to hair accessories! Of course her living models are sweet on the eyes too!  Emily will be vending at JunkFest 2013, and rumor has it, she will also be bringing some furniture with her! Wonder if those cute models are tagging along?!
  Check out her photos on FB here. You're sure to find something you like! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
And if that wasn't enough cute overload for ya, take a look at these pint-sized outfits from JennaRose Doll clothes!  Shelly Corbett & Bonnie Aamot from Grand Forks will have your American Girl or Bitty Baby dressed for playtime success with their hand sewn doll clothes.  I am seriously tempted to invest in an American Girl doll myself....unless I can talk the gals into replicating some of these outfits in my size!

 
 


Whether you're a collector, junker, or just like to play with dolls, there's something for everyone at JunkFest!  Don't forget, food vendors also on sight!  And, music by Amanda Standalone and her jug band Alien Brain & the Jugular Vein!

Be Still My Heart...Central Pharmacy

 
You heard it here first, folks!  Cassie and Lynette
are over the top crazy excited for JunkFest 2013!
 
(Missy hasn't been seen.  Rumor has it the temps were so hot
in her barn when she was working on junk that she may have melted.  True story.)
 
 
Anyway, like the sign below says..."For a happy life you need three things..."
 
but then the next part should read..."good junk, lots of vendors, and
wonderful sponsors to bring them all together!"
 
 
 
You see, JunkFest 2013 was sponsored in part by
Central Pharmacy.
 
How great is that!?
 
 
And you won't only find your medicine at Central Pharmacy,
there's a ton of uber cool stuff, like furniture, home décor, cards and SO much more!
 
Check them out on facebook HERE.
 
 
And woodsy things too, for a lake girl like me.  ;)
 
 
And even a boutique!!  Gorgeous!
 
 
 
JunkFest and the Flea Market 2013 are sponsored in part by Runnings, Central Pharmacy, and the Carrington CVB.  These sponsorships have enabled us to reach farther, and to spread the word about a fabulous event offering over 90 vendors, on Saturday September 7th from 9am-3pm at the Foster County Fairgrounds in Carrington, ND.  $5 admission (children 12 and under free), free parking, food vendors on site, and live music

Welcome Countryside Designs & Signs!

Have you noticed how popular typography has become? Especially when it comes to vintage decor? Along with that, vinyl decals and wall words are certainly holding their own. Karen Brandt of Countryside Signs & Designs has made an art form out of combining the two...vinyl & vintage!
 
 
 
 

 
 


 
 
 
 


 
 
Along with her home decor signs and decorated windows, Karen will also be bringing her own unique repurposed furniture, as well as vinyl clad tiles to JunkFest. Karen also has a FB page, Countryside Signs & Designs.  Stop out to JunkFest on Saturday, September 7 to help us welcome Karen!

Crooked Goods at JunkFest 2013

New to JunkFest this year is Crooked Halo Designs from Moorhead, MN. KC and husband JR started Crooked Halo last June and business has been booming ever since!
I can certainly see why!!
 
 
 
The Clarks upcycle old barn wood, repurpose old windows, screens & doors...and whatever other "junk" they can find into wall hangings, signs, stars, and furniture.

A-door-able!

Oh! I'm also playing over at Jenny's today! Stop over and see how!

Simple Sunday Project

My project today happened a bit by accident. A serendipitous accident I would say.
I started with this rusted thing that I had spray poly'd some time back.
 
 
 
 
 
I have several glass insulators in my stash just waiting for the right job...
 
 
 
 
Throw in a metal numbered tag...also from my stash...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A tea-lite candle and a bit of skinny twine...and here's what I came up with:







 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
It really doesn't get much easier than that!  Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Today's Double Feature!

 
Okay, people....have you figured out yet just how incredible JunkFest is going to be this year?!?
Aside from the magic that is JunkFest, our flea market vendors will leave you giddy with their wonderful wares, if not inspired to whip up something fabulous of your own! We've got it all..from fancy rehabbed to stuff in the rough! Remember our tag line: Bring your friends and bring a trailer, cuz this ain't your grandma's garage sale?  Well this is the year to track down that trailer because there's no trunk big enough for the junk you'll find!
 
Today's vendor feature is a two-fer....you know....2 for the price of one!! First up Fiddlestix, from Watertown, SD.  That's right, our neighbors to the south know how to impress with their repurposed furniture, hand crafted items, vintage, and one-of-a-kind finds!
Fiddlestix is a retail store, owned by Shelly Moon Palmer, and has been open for a little over 2 years.
 
 
Chalkboards in every color!




School never looked so fun!
 
 
 
 

Gorgeous details...
 
 
 

Great kid's room decor!


This is just a small sampling of what Fiddlestix has to offer.  To see more, check out their FB page
here.  Can't wait to see what Shelly brings to JunkFest! 


The paparazzi will be at JunkFest!  Paparazzi Accessories by Carrie Beth brings their affordable fashion accessories to JunkFest for just 6 short hours on Saturday, September 7th!
 
And when they say "affordable" they mean $5 affordable!  With a children's line for $1-$2.
 
 
Carrie says "After attending JunkFest last year, and the great day that I had, I am excited to return!"
 
 
Well, Carrie, we're so glad you're coming back! Hard workin' junkers like their fashion accessories too!
 
Hope you've cleared your calendar for Saturday, September 7th!  JunkFest is the place to be!

Oh yeah, I do need some more sandpaper!
 
 
Aahhh...just look at that paint selection.  Yummy!
