This past week I was a dealer at Junk Bonanza with my daughter, Liana, and our friend Kris of Cottage Dreams! It was such a FABULOUS time and our best sale ever! There are many bloggers posting about the sale with lots of fun photos, so thought I'd share our little corner of the show! Liana and I specialize in Itsy Bits And Pieces...our big bins were fun places for artists and scrapbookers!
This great galvanized barn cupola was one of the first pieces to go...
There were lots of vintage decor items...
and lots of unusual funky junk...
There were lots of vintage French vocabulary flashcards...
and these wonderful 1872 maps were very popular!
And here's Connie of She Dreams Big ! She was up from Nebraska and I really enjoyed our visit!
She made me the sweetest gift! Look at this cute clutch purse! I LOVE the vintage inspired fabrics and the checkbook cover~ I'm going to use it to hold my business cards! Thank you so much, Connie!
I also met up some other great bloggers on day one~ Cammie of Daffadowndilly's~ she has the most fabulous space, and the sweet Deb of Garage Sale Gal ! She is also from Minnesota and we met up earlier this year, too!
On my next post, I'll share more photos of more blogging friends! I've missed stopping by and visiting blogs this last week, so hope to catch up with lots of you again soon!
Until next time...
Linda

Oh Linda -- Congratulations on such a wonderful and successful sale! Everything looks perfect -- how I would love to shop there. You and your daughter set it up in such a way that it's inviting and intriguing -- Perfect Marketing! No wonder you are such a success! How I wish I lived closer so that I could play too!
ReplyDeleteDo you post a schedule of the shows you will be attending? Who knows -- perhaps someday you might be close to where I am. Actually, girl, you would be worth the trip all on its own!
Now do you get to rest or are you on to your next show?
Linda, my goodness, what a fantastic booth you 3 had, stopfull, of wonderfull goodies, and so much to look at, AND BUY--oh take me to a trip like that,just once in my life-LOL.
ReplyDeleteHappy for you ,you had a big sale, I can see why, with all those great little wonders,collected in one place.
Have a lovely week, dear.
Hugs,Dorthe
WooHooOoo! What an awesome display of your goodies! How long did it take you to set up? Hoping you had very little to haul back and from the sound of your post, that was indeed the case!
ReplyDeleteSigh...your booth looks awesome! I would have done some serious damage in there!! Glad you had fun!!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you were going to do a post on the Bonanza!!! Your booth looks wonderful. I may have to take a road trip next time so I can check it out in person.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic displays! :) That looks like it would have been a blast. Wish I could have been there! They just don't have great shows like that around here.
ReplyDeleteI could spend a lot of moolah here! Love the soda fountain stools.
ReplyDeleteYour space looks very inviting.
Hey Linda, your booth was so great. i enjoyed meeting you. My only regret was flying home and not having my big 'ol SUV to fill with Junk Bonanza goods. Maybe next year...
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm so jealous! Looks like you had a great time. Everything looks wonderful, I wish we had places like this up here.
ReplyDeleteYour space was so beautifully styled, Linda. Love all the wonderful treasures you offered. Wish I could have been there!

Sweet Linda,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find
you when I was
trolling around
JB!!! It was such
a great sale! I
thought maybe you'd
be at the blogger
party Friday night.
I did meet Tamarah,
there, at the very
end. I hope the
sale was as successful
for you as I've heard
it was from some of
the other blogger/vendors.
You'll have to let
me know if you sell
at any of the local
occasional sales....
Happy Monday!

How neat!!! I see lots of stuff I like!
ReplyDeleteLoved your booth, I wish I could have visited with you, but there was so much to see. Love your hardware bins but especially all the itsy bits you sell. See you next year.
ReplyDeleteMargo
Linda, your displays look splendid and I know you had fun! hugs♥olive
ReplyDeleteHello sweet Linda, What a wonderful booth!!!!! I know I would have spent hours pokin' and diggin' through all that great stuff! There were so many things I loved especially the wheelbarrow and I think I spotted a bird cage too! I'm so glad you did well and seeing your booth I'm not surprised!!! Love, Julie
ReplyDeleteLooks like the path to heaven.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Linda--this is beyond amazing!!! It all looks so fabulous! I am so happy for you...it looks like so much work...you must be exhausted, but I bet it was loads of fun!! So neat to meet other crafters...how amazing and love the purse too!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and your daughter,

Hi Linda!!! It was great meeting you too. I had so much fun there. your bin of goodies was one of my favorite things. loved it. i took a pic of it and will be posting it soon. i thought it was yours. I will definately link back to you when I do.
ReplyDeleteMan oh Man oh Man......
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling as I type....
Such way cool stuff - my house would look like a booth if I could buy everything I liked.....
Oh, the purse is adorable! I wish I could have been at this event.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Linda,
ReplyDeleteFirst I must say that I instantly liked you! You took the time to chat, take pictures even when your booth was full of shoppers. I am so indebted to you for the leg up with Jane and getting a space for next years event! That was really sweet of you to walk with us and to search out Jane and introduce me!! You are truly a "make your self at home" kind of person!
I loved your space and all of the trinkets and bits that you so cleverly display in all of your bins! I am so looking forward to vending at the 2011 Junk Bonanza and maybe getting to know you better!
I did fill out the application and put down the deposit,,, so fingers crossed!!
What a pleasure to meet you,
Lisa
It sounds like it was so much fun. I'll bet your booth was very popular!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
This looks like it was so much fun for everyone involved. I hope to be going to a similar event with my friend, SueBee, in late October. I will be watching her work her magic. I wanna see a picture of your pug's pumpkin teeth! Perhaps in honor of Halloween? Thanks for your sweet comment.
ReplyDeleteOMG! How did I miss this post? I absolutely LOVE those Itsy bits and pieces for crafting! I would have gone nuts there!
ReplyDeleteOh man Linda. I missed seeing you again this year... :( Where was your booth? I didn't hardly see anything, nor did I shop. The only shopping I was able to do was some vendors brought me things right to my booth to purchase and one group had a showing in their hotel room for me after the Thursday show, otherwise I was in selling. I'm sure you were busy too and it was definitely a fabulous show.
ReplyDeleteMaybe see you at AA/JMS and actually get to visit with you.
Gretchen
Oh my goodness...I clicked on each picture of your booth to peer closer! What a neat booth. I just love all the "what not"! I'm glad you had a great sale. Maybe someday I'll get there.
ReplyDeleteDidn;t know you were a vendor!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I have bought ittle letters and numbers from you!
I recognize your booth and I wanted to buy your big green round hardware stire bin!
I also think that my business partner Jenn may have bought a vintage game table from you.... it had a game board and pieces under the glass? She got it two years ago.
Does that sound familiar?
Too funny.

Good Morning Linda!!
