Junk Jubilee Finds & Other New Additions....

Last Friday, the hubs and I headed West

to Des Moines for the very first

Junk Jubilee.

It was soooo amazingly awesome!

There were about 35 or so vendors

(which may not seem very big to some of you, but for their very first year, I think its great!)

in the 4-H building at the

State Fair Grounds.

Seriously...

the amount of talent and creativity out there

BLOWS my mind!

It was almost sensory overload,

so I had to do a few walk throughs

so I wouldn't miss anything!

I of course did get some new things for the store,

but I thought I would just show you some of the things

I had to have for myself!

I love decorating with fun and unique things....

I HAD to have this old milk crate

that I upcycled into a wine bottle holder.

I added two more seltzer bottles to my collection.



I fell IN LOVE with this lil' pink lamp

with shabby shade! 

And then I layed my eyes on this hanging beauty!

She may not seem like much, but I find it

to be interesting and soooo cool!

I hung it over my clawfoot tub

and I couldn't love it more!

This new mantle addition didn't come from Junk Jubilee

but I still wanted to share.

I have wanted a mantle FOREVER

and now I finally have one!

I of course had to paint it white.

Or should I say, Clay painted it white for me!

I still owe him 20 bucks for doing it!

And lastly, this white rocker with burlap seat.

It fits perfectly in this spot next to the piano.

Believe you me, If money were no object,

there would have been a WHOLE lot more to show you!

I hope that they plan on doing this every year!

It's so nice to have something like this so close to home!

If you are curious to see what I found for the store,

you will have to stop in soon!
