Junk Bonanza 2010 ~ Vogue

Vogue
My theme for Junk Bonanza.

Not that you had to have a theme, but I needed something to kind of run with when I was planning and buying so I could put on a show.

OK. I promised you pictures.

I thought I would be able to post before now.... but man the work involved. I swear I had 3 hours of sleep a night....and it started for me on Tuesday.

We, Mr. Miller, Daniel-son and myself, started loading the truck....17 ft U-Haul
on Tuesday evening after everyone finished a long days work. We didn't finish until way after dark, in fact, hours of loading, rearranging and lots of *#&^'s from you know who...
We finally finished and the truck wouldn't start!!!!
Yeah, no juice.
All I could think of was what if they told me I needed to get a different truck "(
A half hour later and a jump from a really big tow truck and we were on our way home for the night and the morning adventure....

Unloading at Canterbury was a different story. After a calm drive down and lots of coffee we were ready... see how happy Daniel is. Mr Miller, not a Sherpa, still not so happy... omitted his picture.

My friend Lori setting up my wall for the greeting cards for me.

Lori and Christine drove all the way from upper Michigan to help me at the booth, to play and of course to shop...more about the fabulous duo later

oh boy the mess I had going

Well here she is!

Packing crate walls, my ladies, birch, packing paper

and my fav Pearls AND Books

Many many stopped to photograph, oh and ah and say hi.

I gave out 1000's of cards and directions to the Barn over and over again.
I told you I wanted to put on a show...

The couch carcass with the mantel and chair turned out exactly how I envisioned it

love my foxy

I could have sold the grain scoops by the 100's unfortunately, I only had 3 chains

I came down with 7 of my ladies and went home with only 3

I will miss them

the burlap lamp shades were a big hit.... many shop owners asked if I could do them wholesale for their shops... It about killed me to get the 12 done for the show

long live vintage

Most didn't get my mix of bones and pearls

I loved it

these fab posts did not sell... they will be back at the store

my Vogue and Paris canvases were a big hit

I did up some trinkets before the show

they sold like crazy... everyone loves numbers

the burlap numbered bags were also a big hit

my friend Todd built the walls I designed for the show

LOVE them

my wallpaper made a good back drop

sold

here is a hint for the start of part 2

exhausted but so worth it!

everything we brought home is now parked in my garage...

it'll be another long week ahead ~ L

Fall at the Barn

Just because I am packing up for Junk Bonanza doesn't mean the store has been neglected. Just the opposite, I have been working like crazy to get things ready for Fall.
This time of year we get a ton of out of town visitors and as they say, "the show must go on."

I will be missing in action at the Barn for the next 5 days, but my lovely and talented Barn Girls will be available for all your needs.

hello fall

love the crown

happy to you

I will be loading the truck tonight, set up is Wednesday all day and the show starts Thursday at 8 am or is it 7am ....aaaah I don't even know.

Anyway, I hope to see you there! Be sure to say Hi
