Junk Bonanza

Oh my goodness, last week saw me traveling to Minnesota to be with a few friends I met at last year's Creative Connection. This year the Creative Connection didn't happen but our own version did.  We found ourselves delving into the world of junk and what a splendor it was too.

I found so many toys from my childhood and a million things that were either in my home growing up or at my grandparents. 

Along with selling vintage there was also a lot of repurposed. People are so creative and clever.  Usually I love very soft things with lots of color but I found myself on this trip really loving old industrial items. They just sort of called to me. 

Our evenings were spent crafting and talking to all hours of the morning. Today I'll just share some of the wonderful junk that was found, and tomorrow I'll share a little crafting love. ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. oh that place looks like heaven on earth. There is a market that happens three times a year in Massachusetts, called Brimfield. It’s sooooo tempting dangerous. I haven’t gone it two years, because I know I’ll spend too much money. You and Emily and I should all plan a trip there some day. SOME DAY.
