PRETTY PINKALICIOUS JUNKIN'

Hey, Y'all!! I'm tickled PINK to have been a vendor at the first ever Pinkalicious Vintage Prom and Antique Show at Anna Acres.

Anna Acres was the perfect venue for this glitzy bash hosted by Texas Trash Jewelry.

During the Prom Friday night,the band, Southern Cross, played blues, country, and rock in an old barn lit with tiny twinkle lights and chandeliers.  

Prom attendants wore vintage prom attire, including 

lots of lace, rhinestones, ruffles, satin, and even a few white tuxes! 

Texas Trash Jewelry hosted this awesome market of  more than 50 vendors. From her funky decor in the barn and prom 

area to her fabulous vintage trailer, the stage was set for FUN!

There was no shortage of 

lace, bling, and all things PINK!
Garden Cat Vintage was all about white 

wicker, hot pink roses, and lots of vintage garden junk!

There were lots of wonderful vintage trailers...like this one owned by The Girl on the Go!

  Dee Dee Style was there with her special creative shirts and jewelry.

And y'all know it's a Junkin' Party when Girls Gone Junkin' are there!

 

 Girls Gone Junkin' had so much cool stuff from 

funky vintage wares to pink flamingos to hot summer junkin' fashions. It was a plethora of vintage goodness all around! 

"I believe in pink. 

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.

 I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. 

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. 

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. 

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

Until next time, sweet friends--

Peace, love, and all

 the good stuff to y'all!

WONDERFUL WHIMSY IN THE WAREHOUSE

THE GOOD STUFF TO Y'ALL!

BLUEBONNETS, FRIENDS, AND JUNK--OH, MY!

Hey, Y'all! Hope Spring has found you in your neck of the woods/prairie. Spring has definitely made its way in all its glory to the Brazos Valley and south central Texas prairie--it has been resplendent with a bounty of Bluebonnets just in time for Texas Antiques Week. This go-around I was only able to do a little junkin' due to family scheduling and threatening spring thunderstorms. Never-the-

less a junker has to do what a junker has to do--wear your rain boots and junk FAST! Here's a glimpse of what I saw in the lovely cow pastures at the Warrenton and Zapp Hall Antique Shows. 

Love this little vintage trailer!

Junkin' to your heart's desire!

Got skates?  I'm thinkin' Roller Derby fun for all. 

This great old truck body reminded me of "Old Blue,"
 Jimmie Rae's trusty vintage truck. It was for sale
as an architectural  piece! Pretty cool. 

This is a fun combo of cool sign with concrete statuary
and olive trees.  They had  wonderful garden stuff.

Here's the inside of their booth--fab french garden items!

The one and only incredible Jill Suzanne!! A wonderful creative soul and person.

The Girls at Rodeo Royalty Roadshow had a fantastic
Americana, gypsy-soul, funky booth--including this amazing gypsy wagon!

 This is their granny's crocheted doily inspired sofa--very cool! 

As the clouds got darker and the wind picked up, I took the cue and headed back to my SUV with my fresh treasures, giant ice tea from Royer's, and happy Junkin' vibes in my heart. 

I know the magic will happen in the cow fields again in a few short months.

 Until next time, sweet friends...
Peace, love, and all 
the good stuff to y'all!
