Funky Junk or Bust!

On the road again... can't wait to get on the road again. This song is driving me crazy!!! It has been stuck in my head for the last couple of days.

Today is the day for the ROAD TRIP! Funky Junk Sister #1 (aka. MOM) and I are going to be on our way to Puyallup, WA. Even though the show isn't until Friday there is a bunch of work to do before the doors open. We have to transform an old workout building into a fatabulous junkin retreat.

First off we have to get there!

MIA! Sort of!!!

Wow... it has been awhile since I have written on here!

I have been working really hard on my website orders, my kids birthdays (yes... all 3 of them within weeks of each other), and the FUNKY JUNK SISTER's Show! Something else that has also been thrown in there is that we are finally moving into our place. Lots of painting, cleaning, and moving =)



Next week is the big FUNKY JUNK SISTER's Show! We are doing a special girl's night out (men can come too) this will be a fun event! We have a PINK tree that we are doing a raffle which will benefit breast cancer awareness.. there will also be giveaways.. and some yummy treats! Buy your tickets before hand, so you can get right in.



Saturday it all starts again! We have some special guest coming on the JUNK BUS... Timi has some wonderful ladies coming from up North wanting to get some great junk! They should have a great time... because Timi is a hoot! We are opening up at 8 am with an Early Bird entry. From 10 am on is our discounted entry price.



We have some awesome vendors... some people who have never even done a show before, but let me tell you that we have seen their junk and you will be happy to see them there. This will for sure be the best show of the year!



I will try and update more this week! Maybe about my road trip over to the Funky Junk Sister's Show....

The Mad Hatter Flea!

These girls have done a wonderful job of changing the Old 5 mile grange into something fantabulous! The girls I am talking about are the Junebug Furniture & Design. When I lived up on top of the 5 mile.. I did many yard sales and they would be there trying to score the next find. I love their style and taste!!!

We think they should come and do our show so you could experience what I have! So, write them at junebugfurnitureanddesign.blogspot.com and tell them they should do our show too!

This is what you saw as soon as you walked though the doors! WOW! Sparkle and Shine!!!

These bags lined a window seal... stinkin' cute!

I think this was another one of their booths that was down stairs.

The popcorn wrappers are a great idea!

They did a wonderful job of picking vendors... everyone complemented each other. Antie Joy and Luluz was there. I met the ladies of Chaps and also Serena of the Farm Chicks. I would of had more pics, however, I was to busy talking..lol

When they have their next show... you will not want to miss it =)

South Hill Mall wants our Junk!

Ok, HUGE EXCITING NEWS!!!We are moving our Fall Funky Junk Sisters Show to the South Hill Mall Campus! We finally put everything together (it's been alot of work) and now we are going to do it. Our Fall Show will be in the old Ballys building on the north side of the mall.

Don DeSalvo, northwest partner of mall owner Cafaro Co. attended set up of our June Show and loved the concept. After much deliberation and conversation Dixie and I have decided this is the best move for our vendors and our business! This show will be in a much more desirable location with easy access to freeways, parking and traffic flow. Since our show has doubled in size we needed to find a much larger venue. We are very pleased to partner with the mall in this new venture! Just think how much junk we can fit into 55,000 sq. feet! It will be a junk extravaganza for the hardiest junkoholics!!!!

The address for the new location is 3600 9th St. SW Puyallup, WA 98373.

Here we go again!

Here is our flyer for the Girl's Night Out! Copy and paste it so that we can spread the word about the show and the event!!!

Barn Barn Baby!

Last weekend we took a little drive to Rathdrum, Idaho... to see one of my favorite barn sales. The Vintage Barn! I was at her first one just a few years ago and I think she might of had 3 other people besides herself

(Rolane Hopper~The Hostess with the Mostess) doing the sale.

All I can say now is "WOW" it has grown so much in just a few years.

Something that I am hoping for our show (Funky Junk Sisters)!

The end of summer sale had about 50 vendors... each one was just eye candy for me. You will have to go to her website www.barnbarnbaby.com to mark your calendar for next years sales.

This was so cool! If I had a place to put it right now... I would of bought it!

I just loved the colors mixed with the rust!

I never knew rakes looked so cool!

I have a fetish with schwinn bikes... Love them!

This would make a great island for a kitchen! It just might show up at our show... From Ann Caster of Nestting.

These were also at Ann's booth! She also does more shows from her Fire Station! How cool is that?!

This was from the Junebug booth! I would show you more, however, my sister wants to blog about the show too.

Don't forget about the Funky Junk Sister's Show!

You need to buy tickets to the GIRL'S NIGHT OUT on October 23rd... we are raising money for breast cancer awareness! Help support a great cause...!!!

Country Sampler Magazine Ad!

We are in Country Sampler this month... I am very excited! It is small, but so worth it! This is a wonderful magazine to get into and spread the word about your products. It is time for growth! I have been wanting to do some advertising and wasn't quite sure where to start... then out of the blue I received an email from one of their advertising specialist. With a great special for their fall issue. Everything is done so far in advance... I didn't have anything ready for a christmas product, except one last sign that was left over from last christmas.

So what the heck! I wrapped it up and sent it off with my payment. Now the wait is over!

I am now offering vinyl lettering, signs, jewelry, and furniture... growing in other areas are clothing and kitchen accessories (more to come shortly) In the near future we will also be offering burlap pillows made by moi! You might even find me doing a few website designs.... that is a work in progress.
