Announcement!

did you like the drama with that title? i just wanted to share that i've started a second blog, called "flea market junkture". it will be little posting on events that i come across (think "Farm Chicks type of venues) as these flea market extravaganza's and barn sales are the wave of the future. it will also include indie type events like indie craft/art shows, etc. if you know of an event, drop me an email and i'll blog about it. (these events will be flea markets or barn sales that happen a few times a year, not weekly type of flea markets).

i have more pictures to show from our trip to Adamstown, Pa and a few pics from my soldering class on sunday. but they will have to wait until tomorrow as it is way past my bed time!

these were called the "Quint" dolls and they each had their corresponding name pinned to their shirt. so cute! only $300 - what a steal!

this was a really cool piece that i would love to have (at only $545!) - it was labeled "industrial metal baskets"

cool weathered bookcase

basket of rusted toy railroad tracks

we saw these beautiful exotic finches at Shupp's Grove and i just loved how the owner decorated their cage.

this little Pug puppy was for sale at Shupp's market (only $800 ya'll!). oh my god, he was so cute. when i broke out my camera, he started barking this tiny little pup arf sound.

We have an early day tomorrow. We are going to hit "Renningers" flea market. we are looking for some things to create a booth for my next show. i am going to use a vintage vanity and build around it to create a smaller version of my normal booth. my next show? i don't think i shared the news yet.... i'll be doing the Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio; September 18,19, & 20. It is also my birthday and i've invited a couple of friends to come join me there.
