A HOT JUNKIN' TIME IN THE OLD TOWN

Hey, Y'all! What a fun time we had at the Funky Junk Sisters Junk Salvation Vintage Market at the J. Lorraine Ghost Town near Austin, TX. After a wonderful somewhat (by Texas standards anyway!) cool spring, we were treated to a taste of summer in the form of hot, humid, and windy days at the ghost town. Nevertheless, we true junkers glisten a little more sparkly and just keep on doing what we love to  do--

 JUNK!

visit with each other --

 and JUNK! some more--

We caught up with Naomi of Heirloom Vintage. Sadly, I did not get a pic! Arugh! Anywho, Naomi and I met at Junk Salavation and then at Plucky Maidens Junk Fest  in Portland a few years ago. I did find this pic of Naomi's pretty booth at Junk Salvation in Hillsboro, OR. Promise I'll get lots of pics of her booth next time!

Since we were both Texas girls living in the Pacific NW, we found out we had many things in common...like someday returning to Texas. Well, we both got our wishes. Naomi and her family moved back as recently as March. Her Heirloom Vintage wares still have the same farmhouse fresh look and she still sold everything she took...just like in Hillsboro! I look forward to catching up with her again at many future vintage markets. 
 

  I was thrilled to see so many familiar faces, including Jennifer and friends of Covered in Glitter.

Your Hippie Cousin Designs and Finds had the old General Store lookin' quite cool and funky!

 Just love their colorful, funky-chic vibe!

The Vintage Farmhouse had fantastic chalk painted sideboards--she mixes her own chalk paint. Beautiful!

 Distance didn't detour Chic to Antique from being at Junk Salvation. They traveled all the way from Cocoa, FL!!

Friday night was fun! As the sun set the flickering lanterns came on...night JUNKIN'!

Thanks to Funky Junk Sisters, Linda and Dixie, for traveling across this great country of ours to host such a unique, fun TEXAS 

JUNK SALVATION Vintage Market! 

Y'all ROCK!

Until next time, 

Peace, love, and all 

the good stuff, sweet friends!

IT BEGAN WITH A LITTLE JUNK SALVATION

Hey, Y'all! Are ya ready for some Junk Salvation? 

Just what is Junk Salvation, you may ask? 

Well, it's an incredible vintage market hosted by sisters, Dixie and Linda, a.k.a. Funky Junk Sisters. Their brand of Junk Salvation Vintage Markets was recently named one of the

top 25 Flea Markets according to Romantic Homes magazine. In fact, it's also been rated one of the best vintage markets by both Flea Market Decor and Flea Market Style.

So now y'all know the facts...here's the low-down.  This Friday and Saturday, May 17 & 18, the Funky Junk Sisters will be hosting their 15th vintage market in Manor, TX at the J. Lorraine Ghost Town. This awesome venue is only about 12 miles east of Austin, TX. 

Early shoppin' for junkin' happiness begins at 6 p.m. Friday night until 9 p.m. Shoppin' fun continues Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be LOADS of fantastic vintage, repurposed, and antique stuff, yummy food and drinks, and a live band...what's not to love about that deal? 

I first experienced Junk Salvation Vintage Market three years ago in Puyallup, WA (for my Texas friends...PULL-Y'ALL-UP.) I went to the spring Junk Salvation Vintage Market with some junker buddies and experienced pure JuNkin' BLISS!! I'd never been to one place with so much rust, patina, beautaciousness. I was totally HOOKED!

So, I signed up for the fall show. It was my first time to take Garden Cat Vintage to a vintage market venue. 

   

It was a blast! That wonderful experience as a vendor led me to do four more Funky Junk Sisters 

Junk Salvation Vintage Markets from Puyallup, WA to Portland, OR over the next few years. 

It's a wish come true...I've met so many wonderful, creative people and had so much fun! I have met many life-long junker friends

When I moved back to TX last summer, I didn't think I'd get to experience any JUNK SALVATION Vintage Markets again...at least as a vendor. So imagine my complete excitement when Dixie and Linda announced they were coming to Manor, TX again this year!! This will be my sixth JUNK SALVATION Vintage Market! 

Garden Cat Vintage will be set up here at the "Doctor's Office." 

I'll be bringing a whole lotta star-spangled-rusty-wicker-GARDEN wonderfulness!!

 

Life is Good!!

So don't be shy...come on out and experience Dixie and Linda's Funky Junk Sisters Junk Salvation for your very own selves this weekend!!

Come get your own Junk Salvation!

Until next time,

Peace, love, and all the good stuff to y'all!

PRETTY PINKALICIOUS JUNKIN'

Hey, Y'all!! I'm tickled PINK to have been a vendor at the first ever Pinkalicious Vintage Prom and Antique Show at Anna Acres.

Anna Acres was the perfect venue for this glitzy bash hosted by Texas Trash Jewelry.

During the Prom Friday night,the band, Southern Cross, played blues, country, and rock in an old barn lit with tiny twinkle lights and chandeliers.  

Prom attendants wore vintage prom attire, including 

lots of lace, rhinestones, ruffles, satin, and even a few white tuxes! 

Texas Trash Jewelry hosted this awesome market of  more than 50 vendors. From her funky decor in the barn and prom 

area to her fabulous vintage trailer, the stage was set for FUN!

There was no shortage of 

lace, bling, and all things PINK!
Garden Cat Vintage was all about white 

wicker, hot pink roses, and lots of vintage garden junk!

There were lots of wonderful vintage trailers...like this one owned by The Girl on the Go!

  Dee Dee Style was there with her special creative shirts and jewelry.

And y'all know it's a Junkin' Party when Girls Gone Junkin' are there!

 

 Girls Gone Junkin' had so much cool stuff from 

funky vintage wares to pink flamingos to hot summer junkin' fashions. It was a plethora of vintage goodness all around! 

"I believe in pink. 

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.

 I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. 

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. 

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. 

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." 

Audrey Hepburn

Until next time, sweet friends--

Peace, love, and all

 the good stuff to y'all!
