On a visit to to see my son at college in
Fargo, that's right
Fargo - ya sure you betcha, I discovered one of my new favorite things. A small store located on a quaint street in beautiful downtown
Fargo named "
Funky Junque". It seems a little out of place from what you would assume to be the norm in
Fargo. The idea we get from the now famous movie by the same name, is a picture of a town that is somewhat behind the times. But
Funky Junque is far from that. It in fact, it may be a little ahead of it's time.
Funky Junque, a store owned and operated by Kriss LeCocq, is filled with wonderful vintage finds, lovingly married with many new items. You'll will find great vignettes displaying old rusty farm pieces refurbished as candleholders, chicken feeders filled with sand and tapered candles used as a table centerpiece, and large church windows used as a backdrop to a picnic table. You will also find shelves loaded with many new items such as dinnerware and glassware, tablecloths and rugs. Clothing and jewerly are also some of the items you'll find.
So if you happen to venture to Fargo, you are a current resident, or just want something to do, be sure to check out Funky Junque. And don't forget to say hi to Kriss, and tell her Lanette sent you, ya sure you betcha!
