A VERY PLUCKY PARTY!

Hey, Y’all! What a junktabulous time we had in Forest Grove at Plucky Maidens Junk Fest on November 19. The McMenamins Grand Lodge and Children’s Cottage was stuffed to the rafters with the most incredible vintage wares and hand-crafted items. Thanks to Pam Fromuth and Maria Raleigh for organizing such a terrific PLUCKY MAIDENS JUNK FEST!

Customers shopped in the warm glow of a

 cherry fire downstairs in the Children's Cottage.

Jennifer Cramer-Hughes and Kim Crutcher of JUST CHIC in Forest Grove

had some great vintage furniture and tre's chic home accessories.

fond of the "Paris Cafe" stenciled window.

JUNK FEST FABULOUSNESS

Hey, Y'all! Most of you already know her by her award-winning blog, "One Gal's Trash." --If you don't, well, get ready because you're about to meet Junker Extraordinaire and a good friend of mine, Pam Fromuth. I was lucky enough to have Pam as a neighbor at Funky Junk Sisters Junk Salvation in Hillsboro, OR this past February. After that we got to catch up again at the Puyallup FJS Junk Salvation in May. Pam and her friend, Maria Raleigh of collage, both very smart and savvy ladies, came up with the brilliant idea to put together a wonderful vintage market this past summer called, PLUCKY MAIDENS JUNK FEST.

Pam and Maria are self-described as "two bold sassy and spunky women who have teamed up to host the best in junk and vintage shows." Their first PLUCKY MAIDENS JUNK FEST was a big hit to say the least. So, now they're at it again -- this time with a holiday theme and a new location at the super funky  McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove, OR., from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, November 19. 

Since the dictionary describes the word, "plucky," as "courageous and spirited," you can just bet this vintage market will be a Junktabulous smorgasbord of vintage wares from some of the best vendors in the Pacific N.W. 

Here's a sneaky-peaky at what we're loading for Garden Cat's booth at the Plucky Maidens JUNK FEST:

Hope you're feeling PLUCKY too and will come see us at the JUNK FEST on Saturday.

PEACE, LOVE, AND ALL THE PLUCKIEST STUFF TO Y'ALL!!

A JUNKIN' JUBILEE

Willownest of Burton, TX were special
 guests at the November 2nd Saturdayz.

Hey y'all! What an incredible weekend it was here in the Pacific NW -- even a little (okay, a lot!) of rain couldn't dampen the great junkin' vibes going on all around. From 2nd Saturdayz to Girlfriends Holiday Market, to an estate sale and finally to Sumner to visit my buddies, Amy, Kris, and Catt at Todays Country Store.

It was so wonderful to see so many friends and find so many goodies to share as Christmas gifts.
