more info...

The sale this weekend is going to be held in the garage...so don't pull into the west driveway, keep going to the driveway to our house. Like I said before, I just don't feel like battling the rain in the shed+tent. As I was setting up the garage last night in the 75 degree heat, it was hard to imagine that its going to be cold and rainy this weekend...blah!!!!

There will be lots of bargains!!! I am weeding out, getting rid of lots of stuff! Also, any holiday creations leftover from Christmas and Valentines will be on clearance. I'm sure that no one wants to think about Christmas right now, but I want to get rid of this stuff!

Hope to see you there!

Spring Junk Market

I am hoping to post some preview pictures in the next few days....bare with me...it has been a busy few weeks around here. Prom was last weekend and I am one of the co-sponsors...SOOOOOO glad that is over!!!

The sale will probably be held in my garage this time. It is looking like rain and temperatures in the 50s for Friday and Saturday...I am just not going to battle that! So, no worries on trudging through my sloppy, muddy yard to get to the goods!!!

More to come soon!

Life Happens...

My apologies for being very absent the last six or so weeks...all I can say is that I have been a lot busier than I had planned and some other things took priority over my businsess. The etsy site is not updated and I am not sure when it will be updated, although I am working on product to upload to it soon.

Signs of Spring WILL NOT be March 23 -24 as planned...I am hoping for a date in the next few weeks after that, but not sure yet. I will decide in by this weekend and let all of you know.

Again, sorry for the absence...thank you for hanging in there.

Changes for 2012

The last three years have been awesome for this little business of mine. Still, every January as I look back on the previous year I try to think of things that I can do to improve upon it even more.

2011 was by far the best. I am still thrilled at the success of Junkin' Around the Christmas Tree. It was amazing! As soon as it was over, I started counting down to this year's event. I can't wait. November is far away, but I am already deep in the planning and creating.

Therefore, I have decided to focus all of my attention on my business at home, my etsy shop, and selling through local retailers. So, starting in 2012, I will not be vending at any junk/craft shows. I have withdrawn my registration for Junk Bonanza and will not be attending that or any other shows. This is not only due to the shift in my business focus, but also due to a much needed shift in my overall focus. My family needs to be number one! My boys are getting bigger and busier! In the past year, they have been involved in baseball, soccer, wrestling, basketball, church, etc, etc....the list goes on.

In addition, my etsy shop will be getting a much needed makeover and inventory boost. I will be working on this behind the scenes and plan to will rollout a new improved shop in early March. Look for it...I will be keeping you updated as well.

Finally, my next sale, Signs of Spring, will be held on Friday, March 23 and Saturday, March 24. Times will be announced later.  I have been working on this since before Christmas and can't wait for this event!
Mark your calendars!
