A Fun Week...Shop, Show, Shop...

Wow, what a week!!

Here's a little photo (heavy) recap of what I've been up to...

 

 

The fun started last Thursday when we did the window for the shop we have a booth in...

Antiques Downtown, Elk River, MN

Here's a look around...
 

An old coat rack from a Kindergarten.

 

We are "in love" with this old post office piece.

 

Cafe table from a wash tub...why not??

 

This metal baby bed is a "unique" find...so many fun re-purposing options, but PLEASE don't put your baby in it!! 

 

 

And then on Friday we headed over to Otten Bros. to set up for the JunkMarket Trunk Show on Saturday.

 

Our booth was in the garden shop...we were surrounded by LOTS of fun gardening goods.  Great for shopping...not so great for photos.  Hopefully you get the idea :)

 

 

 

 

It was a GREAT show...lots fun catching up with junk friends and meeting new ones.  It sounds like there will be more on the calendar...I'll keep you posted!!

 

 

Then on Sunday we got a call that Joan's cool post office desk sold out of the window...so on Monday back we went to fill the space and add some more :)

We even had a "little helper"...future "junk girl" for sure :)

 

 

Again...all of the pillows and signs in our booths were made by my booth partner Joan from Signs of the Times.

 

 

Here's the "new" look.

 

The "baby bed" got a new look too...wine bar??

 

 

As we say in MN..."UFF DA"...I'm ready for a "Jammie Day"!!  

And that is exactly what we are doing today :)

 

That's an "overview"...I'll be back soon to show you some of the little projects I made for the booths...until then...

Have a great week!!

Chat soon, 

Old Windows...

Old windows...gotta love them.  I have tons of them...in my garage. 

When I saw the theme for Saturday Nite Special over at Funky Junk Interiors I thought "Fun...I've got lots of great ideas for those".  Then I realized...ideas are all I have.  The windows pile up but I have yet to accomplish much :)

Then I remembered these "Honeys"...my husband and I got these old chippy windows 11 1/2 years ago on our Honeymoon.  I posted about these special windows and the hutch my sweet husband made around them in one of my very first blog posts...way back when.  You can see the original post HERE...Sentimental Junk.

And here is another one...we got this window on our first anniversary getaway. 

You might also remember that little house he made for me. I'm trying it out in a new "home" above the smaller cupboard.

I'm not really thrilled about the placement...but it's the only other spot besides the top of the hutch where it has ALWAYS been...and you know sometimes a girl just needs a little change. If you read that Sentimental Junk post you know that it is a VERY special piece...but it is also a very BIG piece :)

So anyway, those are my old windows...I'll be linking them up over at Funky Junk Interiors for Sat Nite Special...and then I'm going to go peek around to see if I can get some more inspiration for the ones I've been hoarding collecting in my garage. 

See you there :)
