| Jesus, Joseph and Mary, ok just Mary, but you will not believe all the cool stuff in this post. This is a long post but if you want to see pics of everything possible, hang in there till the end! |
 |
| Sorry I haven't photo shopped or cropped any of these photos. I wanted to show them to you right away so the quality of some of these shots are a little rough, but you get the idea! |
 |
| I still never figured out what these were for! |
 |
| Happy Birthday to me! |
 |
| "We are Siamese if you please...." |
 |
| I think this was made to be a headboard! How wild is this! I think it use to be a fence. |
 |
| Poodles were everywhere, must be the new trend?? |
 |
| I loved this! It was a bit out of my price range, yikes! |
 |
| OK, now where are the mini motorcycles!?! |
 |
| I loved this booth, lots of cream and pink everything. Look how she covered the piece right in front with sheets of music. too cute. |
 |
| I think Jennifer Hayslip would love to have this but it wouldn't fit in my suitcase! |
 |
| Adorable booth and vendors, this is either Cindy Cochran or Michelle Leistad. They had so much great vintage stuff at great prices. Their booth was called "Iris and Ivy." |
 |
| I can't remember what these are called but they would make cute pin cushions! |
 |
 |
| Agh, I wanted it all! |
 |
| My gal pal and super fun roomie Karen Valentine. We had a blast at the Bonanza and Creative Connection where Karen did a panel discussion and sold a ton of her books,"Building Beautiful Blogs." You can find Karen's book at Mydesertcottage.blogspot.com. I needed all the help I could get and her book was a great help! |
 |
| What a great idea for a photo holder! |
 |
| These were old 78's that had been cut down to coaster size. I bought several for Christmas presents, I just thought they were fun and different. I can't believe I just said Christmas presents, can you believe it's less than 4 months away?! |
 |
| Every time I see Mermaids I always think of my friend Charlene. I'm not sure what she would have done with these girls though so I passed. Well, that and they were pretty dang pricey. |
 |
| "I got a pair of brand new roller skates, you got a brand new key..." |
 |
| So many great ideas rolled into one display! |
 |
| Don't you love the doll head displays! LuLu can you hear me? |
 |
| This gal made hat bands out of all kinds of hardware and findings. It's so fun to see such new creative ideas that people come up with. |
 |
| Pretty neat huh! |
 |
| Another great hat band. |
 |
| I bought a great cuff from Annie de Jongh. Her business is called "Grace and Corazon." She has an Etsy shop but I think right now it's sitting pretty empty because she said she was selling out of everything! She said this was her best show ever! |
 |
| I bought this altered lumber yard apron and plan to bling it out just a tad more.... |
 |
| Great pearl chandelier! |
 |
| Altered Bottles are still the rage and this vendor said she couldn't keep enough of them in her booth! |
 |
| How could you not buy something from this sweet face! |
 |
| MINE-MINE-MINE, I wish! |
 |
| My new BFF Junk Bonanza buddy Gretchen Schumann who took it upon herself to find me a ride back to my hotel. The taxi ride out to this event was $70 which Gretchen just refused to let me pay again so she found an adorable young girl who was a vendor out there to take me back to my hotel.(and of course I have forgotten her name!) |
 |
| I mean what an guardian angel! Her booth had so much wonderful jewelry t was hard to decide what NOT to buy. The name of her company is Mimi-Toria's Designs. Her Etsy shop can be found at, www.gretchenschaumann.etsy.com, check her out! |
 |
| So much great junk and so little time! The prices were great, the vendors were friendly and if you're ever anywhere near their next sale, GO! |
