Texas here we come!

Our tickets are purchased and we both got new cowboy boots, but we are still lookin for the perfect cowboy hats. Maybe we will just have to pick those up in Texas when we get there!

Our recent show just reduced the inventory in our storage spaces so we need more junk! Marburger Farms will be the first stop on our trip to Round Top. At first we thought we'd be limited to just buyin the small stuff....but we now have discovered that we can have someone with a BIG SEMI TRUCK load up the stuff we buy and deliver it right to our doorstep! It's a good thing too, cuz we are gonna be sellin at the Puyallup Spring Fair in April.

We're packin up our cameras and our laptops so ya'll can come right along with us! It will be absolute junk heaven....so stay tuned!

We Love Spokane!

We are thrilled to share our love of vintage with anyone who will listen... so you can imagine how we felt to visit with a reporter from our hometown newspaper, The Spokesman Review! The last time we were in the Spokesman was many years ago when Dix and I were both riding on floats in the lilac parade for our hometown of Deer Park. My time was many moons before Dixie but needless to say it was an awesome experience for both of us.

Cheryl Anne Millsap of The Spokesman Review visited with Dixie at our booth at the Custers Show in Spokane! Here is a link to the article "Funky Junk"!

A quick peek at our booth!

Just stoppin for a sec to let you see our booth set up at The Custer's Show in Spokane, WA. It's super busy and we have sold tons, most of this stuff is gone already, but you know us, WE HAVE MORE!

We gotta get back to work, we will blog more later!

If you are here stop by to say Hi! We had a fun chat with Serena (of The Farm Chicks) yesterday, she is such a sweetie.

Whoops gotta go!

Vendor Profile Michelle McClinn and Isabella's Blue

Michelle has such a talent. These images show you better than our words can.... Michelle told us that these beautiful boudoir dolls just seem to find her. They are so lovely and she embellishes them with such gorgeous vintage style.

Dolls aren't the only thing she does, here is more of her finery.

Michelle shares a booth with her sister Isabella of Isabella's Blue. The two ladies have such a love for art and it shows through in their creations.

Stunning, isn't it?

Make sure you look them up at our upcoming Funky Junk Sister's Vintage Flea Market, May 14 & 15th in Puyallup.

Feelin a little Red, White and Blue...

Right now everyone is inspired by the Olympics and we all feel very patriotic.

GO USA!!!!

Lately we have tried to implement that into our designs. Here is a pic of a wonderful flag that Dixie created out of an old table top.

Next we used old feed sacks as pillow shams on this bed. Cute huh?

We are always drawn to things with our names on them, like this one. (I am usually luckier than Dixie at finding my name.)

Found this old mirror at a thrift store for $4! It looks great in this red, white and blue room.

Geeez I forgot about the big tin sign that says Albers Feed that FJS #4 made me steal off of an old abandoned feed store while she stood watch! (I just know she would have deserted me if we would have gotten caught!) Oh, and the Albers Feed wall desk that Todays Country Store found for me a few years back! (Love those gals, they are always takin care of us).

We will put those in the room next week.

Have a great weekend, it's beautiful here in the Pacific Northwest!

Mom's at it again!

So Dix does her magic and it turns out adorable, don't cha think?

after pic

Now Mom thinks she wants to keep it....Dixie used her "stern" voice to convince her "no way"!

Glad I wasn't around for that conversation!

Lookin for good junk?

We will be in Spokane on March 5,6 &7th at the Custers Show. It's at the fairgrounds (same place as farm chicks). All our junk sisters will be there, even Funky Junk Sister #1 so stop by to shop and chat! We have been working on all kinds of special treats for this show....can you say burlap, wonderful creams, whimsical whites....well, you get the idea. Our specialty is one of a kind items so when they are gone, they are gone! Get there early!

If you can't make it east of the mountains, then stop by Today's Country Store in Sumner, Wa for their big Spring Open House on March 6th. They have such great junk and have been vendors at our Funky Junk Sisters Show since we started. Here is a chance to see them in action at their storefront!
