So I'm doing it! I'm biting the bullet during this busy time of year and having a sale in my home. I've thought about it like forever and decided no better time than now! And since I really do love decorating for Christmas, this IS the perfect time, right? So here's just a smattering of what I have. Please note, as hard as I tried, I couldn't take everything out, so everything is not for sale. Oooops, my bad. Hope you enjoy the pictures and it gives you some inspiration!</div>

Well we've survived the holidays and some of you may have already put those holiday decorations away. But not me. Winter in Minnesota still has some months to go, so rather than put all mine away, I'll just use them in "winter" displays.<br />
<br />
My front room, or parlor as you will, has an array of my silver plated collection of different serving pieces displayed on my mantel. With some trees and extra bling, I have created a little winter wonderland.<br />
<br />

A couple of wool pillows with silver snowflakes on them adds to the winter theme. I'm already for the rest of winter in Minnesota...bring it!<br />

If you know me, most of my home is decorated to the 9's for Christmas. Even my main floor bath has been holly-fied. Okay, maybe that's not a word, but anyway. I get so wrapped up in the Christmas spirit, not one room is without Christmas-filled with decorations. And I certainly didn't want the bathroom to feel left out, now do I?<br />
<br />
I have this beautiful vintage cupboard in my main floor bath that was a built-in in it's former life. It's like it was made for my current home and as the seasons change, so does it's contents. It houses many of my favorite vintage pieces.
<br />

The hands on top that might hold rings or other things at Christmas time holds a linen poinsettia, along with a vintage ornament.

Alongside the hands display is a vintage scale. You know me and my scales. They are a "love" of mine.

A top the vintage scale you'll find a brown transferware commode which holds a new, but old looking bottle brush tree. And the sign? Well you always have room for some humor, especially in the bathroom!
<br />

<br />
Inside the cupboard houses more vintage goodies. Another piece of my transferware this time holds some rock salt to mimic snow and another vintage looking tree. It sits a top another project of mine. The corbal was simply stenciled and a key added. The patina is just natural perfection.<br />

You also find this sweel little glittery deer. It's displaying another little ornament. The picture in the back is entitled "Lost" in reference to the parable of the lost sheep. And again another piece of transferware.

I have to say I love this vintage casserole bowl full of the vintage white Christmas lights. Just plain simple. And anther bottle brush tree sits next to it in a vintage looking boot. Can't have enough trees, now can you?<br />

Another thing that I have to say I love is old ironstone that's worn, chipped and discolored. You have to wonder all the places and uses they've had. The piece on the left I'm particularly fond of.<br />

Inside the cupboard houses more vintage goodies. Another piece of my transferware this time holds some rock salt to mimic snow and another vintage looking tree. It sits a top another project of mine. The corbal was simply stenciled and a key added. The patina is just natural perfection.</div>

All my trees are up and decorated, shopping is done and I've finally gotten all the presents wrapped and under the tree. Let the celebrating commence! And this year I decided to have my presents have a more natural feel. I had this vintage twine, which I have to say I love. With some new faux sparkly elements and some fresh greens, I think they turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself.<br />

The paper I used was actually for wrapping packages to be mailed. It's a little thicker and I liked that about it. It has a very natural feel to it.

It started with this Pyrex piece. Not exactly sure what it was originally used for, but it's perfect as a cloche. It sits atop of an extra-large farm cultavating disc.

If you come to my home, you'll be greeted by my vintage mannequin. I think she's probably from the 50's, though I'm not quite sure. But as the seasons change, so does her wardrobe. With Christmas on the horizons, I dressed her up in a festive way. Now she's all ready to join in all holiday merriment!

The first item added to her wardrobe is this linen and crinoline dress. Though it's really not vintage yet (probably from the '90's), it certainly has that feel.

There was no significance to the year 2008 when she created it. But you could say it's a nod to the year my son graduated. I guess that might symbolize a new journey for us, with minus the one child at home.

First, this is not a new or original project. I saw it first in the Decorating JUNKMARKET Style book. But I had the fencing and the insulators, so thought it was certainly about time I did something with them! <br />

For this project, a bolt cutter is a must if you want to save your hands as the old wire is very thick. You still may get some scratches so you should use gloves as well as wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt.
<br />

You'll also need a needle nose pliers and some wire. I used rebar wire.<br />
<br />

First thing, cut the fencing and bend it into a chandelier shape. Use the rebar wire to secure it together.
<br />

It won't be perfect, but isn't that what we love about vintage? I also bent the top tines towards the center.
<br />

<br />
Next attach the insulators to the fencing with the wire.
<br />

<br />
To add a decorative element, the remaining wire is twisted around a pen.
<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally to finish it off, I made a hanger with the rebar wire. You can also use chain if you'd rather.
<br />

Here's another fun vintage project to add to my back deck! The insulators can hold candles (that's what I did), flowers or plants. Again, like in my previous post all I need is a cup of coffee and that good book!

And no, we're not taking about food here. But this<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> piece started out with the inspiration of just the glass. I picked up at a local retail store and knew I wanted a vintage base for it. When I was out and about junking this past Tuesday I came upon the perfect base. I don't know whether it came out of a farm or actually from an industrial factory, but it certainly was cool and foot the bill. It has an amazing patina. With a little clean-up and some poly it is the perfect table for my deck!</span></span><br />

And yes, it has these little arms on the side of the legs, but that's okay. That's what's so great about junk. We delight in the little imperfections of things!

I have not been on this blog for well over a year! I thought I'd do a post and see if there's anyone out there anymore. I still show followers, but in this tech age, one never knows. <br />
<br />
I purchased this cart probably as long ago as my last post but it was just collecting dust in the garage. Time to do something with it! I knew I wanted to add glass to it and it already had the slots on the four corners a piece of pipe would fit into. With a flange added to the top of each pipe, a piece of glass could easily rest on top. My piece certainly seems to have all come together! I hope you lke it as much as I do!
I'd love to hear if what you think about my cart redo!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I forgot to take a before picture of the cart...my bad! But it was just a dirty piece that probably had been used in a factory or farm when I purchased it. I bought the pipes and flanges at the hardware store so I could add another facet to the piece.</span></div>

I did manage to take a bunch of pictures before the sale, and a few during the sale, so I thought I'd share them with you. <br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">After recently seeing a coffee bar in one of my friends bedrooms, and then seeing a recent post by fellow JUNKMARKET Contributor Jasmin Marisett on the JMS site where she was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">showcasing a coffee bar, I decided it would be a great idea to add one to my bedroom. I had recently purchased this vintage medical shelf at a local occasional sale and if you've followed my blog, you'll know I am a huge fan of medical pieces. I think this one is perfect for my coffee bar, don't you? It's just what the doctor ordered! </span></div>

It sits on top of a vintage yellow milk glass dental tray. Again, a favorite piece of mine with a medical theme. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Come spend Ground Hog’s Day with us at the 3<sup>rd</sup> Annual JUNKMARKET Style “Pamper Yourself” Trunk Show sponsored by JMS and Otten Bros. Garden Center and Landscaping. This show is back by <strong><em>serious</em></strong> popular demand…just for you! We started this “girls just wanna have fun” event three years ago on kind of a whim to put a little ray of sunshine in our Minnesota winter. What has happened is not to be believed! Women come out by the groves to take in the sunshine, the plants, awesome product, and the AMAZING group of vintage vendors gathered at Otten Bros. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Signs of spring will be most obvious in the tropical greenhouse so you won’t have to travel all the way to Punxsutwany to find out what Sir Ground Hog has to say. Rumor has it he’s staying above ground this year…or at least for just one day we can believe winter is over. We deserve that much, don’t we?! Most of the uber talented dealers that cater to all your womanly needs will be returning, not to mention some very cool, fresh, and all new surprise vendors will be on hand to make your day a whole lot better than your average February 2<sup>nd</sup>. Doesn’t get any better than that!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let’s face facts together…the holidays are lovely, yet exhausting and the Minnesota winter weather has a way of zapping our energy. That’s why Otten Bros., JMS, and a few of our favorite friends continue this tradition that has now become as watched and followed as Ground Hog’s Day. OK, maybe that’s stretching things a bit…but not much! One thing is for sure, this trunk show remains to be focused on one of your favorite people…you!!! Come join us in the sunshine without shadows…you’ll be glad you did.

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: inherit;">Welcome to 2013! I've decided to try to put a new spin on my blog and when I find a great recipe I like, feature it! And of course it has to be served up ala-junk style! This was a recipe I first saw on facebook. Unfortunately, it didn't give any attribution to the originator of it so I did my research. Thank you Google! And thankfully I did find the creator of it, Rebecca Crumb of Ezra Pound Cake, and decided to try my hand at it. I'm definitely not much of a cook, but it was easy. And I can most certainly can say it was a tasty meal. My family loved it! It makes a fairly large batch and can probably serve up to eight people. But lucky us we had leftovers! Since we are such a Scandinavian family, we're from Minnesota after all, I did cut the amount of diced green </span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: inherit;">chilies</span><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> down to one can, and added only about half of the taco seasoning. But for us it was perfect! You'll find the complete recipe after my pictures. And if you do give it a try, I'd love to hear your </span>opinion<span style="font-family: inherit;">! </span></span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />

But this has got to be the first chalk tree I've ever had. Nice thing about this tree is it doesn't need water, it doesn't loose needles, and the cats can climb up it or play with the ornaments! Gotta love that! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #10405d; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">I removed some of the other pieces on the wall, but kept my dustpan chalkholder. I just added some small vintage Christmas balls to make it look more festive!</span><br />

I know....my bad, though the break was kind of nice, and maybe a little deserved. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But here I am trying to get back into the swing of things. And after recently having my house featured in once again another local home tour, I thought it would be the perfect time do some posting and share with you some of my holiday decor! </span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
In the past I'm sure you've seen many a wine bar, but how about something everyone can join in on! I decided I would feature a hot chocolate bar on the recent tour. It's something everyone can enjoy, both young and old! And who's says you can't through in a little additional "spirit" for the adults to enjoy! Here's my take on the hot chocolate bar!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">I love these little frames from Ikea. A buck a piece....seriously! What can you get for a buck now a days. Not even a cup of coffee (okay maybe at McDonalds). And A little sign was needed just so you know for sure what you'd be gettin'. Ha!</span><br />

</div>Well hello there! You may have noticed, but I was absent again for a little bit. I actually was on vacation. Yippee skippy and lucky me!! But I just had to pop in and say "hi", to let you know I haven't forgotten about y'all. I was actually in Texas takin' in some of their good ole southern hospitality! Loved Texas! Hopin' I'll be able to get back there again real soon. It was for the National Disabled Hockey Tournament and got to watch my daughter play with her team, the Minnesota Special Hockey Stars. I didn't get any antiquing in (darn nab it). But that's really okay. It was a family affair, so they took precedence. <br />
<br />
Stay tuned. I've got a give-a-way in the works. Keep your eyes pealed!<br />
<br />
Until then,<br />

Does this side table stack up? I think the answer is a definite YES!! I recently purchased these newspaper books. They're all from the City of Glencoe, Minnesota and house each year of the Glencoe Newspaper, from the early 1900's up to the 1960's. What a great find! And how fun to flip through them!<br />

Most of them were actually hardbound, but this one had a cardboard cover with the date stamped on the top. It was also nailed together. Yes, I said nailed. Very unique!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">So maybe it's "late" April Fools, but I snatched this picture of our cat "Indy" in the only spot of sun he could find, bathing himself. He even placed his paw in the appropriate spot so to be more discrete. It was so cute, I felt it would give everyone a good "April Fools" laugh, or if you read this tomorrow, maybe just a Monday morning pick-me-up. He's a strange creature and sometimes I can't figure out if he really thinks he's a dog, or perhaps even human. And yes, I have caught him watching TV sitting like that! Like I said, he's a strange creature. April Fools or Happy Monday! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Of course my top pick would have to be "Industrial". Does that surprise any of you, coming from me? Ha! I've had a great fondness for industrial pieces and have found many ways to intigrated them into my decor. And whether it be farm industrial, office, medical or manufacturing, it seems to all work. And I simply can't get enough of it! Let me tell you, I have plenty of it in my home. And I do think it will continue to be a big collectible in 2012. So without further ado, my top junk pick is....drum roll please.....Industrial!!</span></div><br />

Industrial vintage store displays have great repurpose in kitchens. And of course this one has to be a wine bar!<br />

And one of my most cherished industrial pieces is this highway guard rail. Who would have thunk a guard rail could look this chic!<br />
<br />
Don't ever be afraid of industrial. It can fit into so many different styles. And it doesn't have to be hard. Soften it up with plants, painted furniture, wicker, natural woods. You may find you'll love it as much as I do!<br />

A picked up this little table runner beauty from Sarah Smith of Smith's Salvage at JUNKMARKET Under Glass in the fall of 2011. When I saw it, it was love at first sight! Sarah had two of them, and I had already missed out on one. Luckily I snatched this one up. I knew it would fit in with my industrial style and with my eight foot tin top table, it would work magnificiently! Sarah tells me she get's these all the time and she'll be at <a href="http://vintagemarketplacestyle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Vintage Marketplace</a> in Springfield, Ohio on May 18-20. I better let her know to bring more of these beauties! They are an amazing find!<br />

This was the second annual event and was once again held at Otten Bros. in Long Lake, MN. It was a huge success! Lots of people, lots of buying, lots of laughing, lots of lots! I love these small venues as it gives you a more intimate setting with your customers as well as the other vendors. Here's a few pictures of this fun event....because it was all about you!</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Talk about a road trip! Ventured to Nashville, Tennessee already this year with Sue Whitney and JUNKMARKET Style. Next destination, Ohio! Yippee skippy! I get to see all my junking peeps once again! I'll have pictures soon of the Nashvillle trip, but here's the info for the Ohio show. And if you've ever been to Springfield, I hear they really know how to do it right!</div><br />
Here's all the details.....<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Sue Whitney of JUNKMARKET Style will be on board to help launch the Vintage Marketplace to the Springfield Extravaganza in Ohio. This was a wildly popular addition to the Music City - Tailgate show in Hendersonville, TN this past February. So popular in fact, that the show can now be found this May at the Springfield Extravaganza. There will be returning vendors from Hendersonville, dealers from JUNKMARKET Under Glass, long time participants from the Extravaganza, and some brand spanking new vintage experts. Sounds like a not to be missed combo to me!!! JMS will be present a design booth (which means she better get my rear in gear) featuring fresh ideas for your home and garden all done up JUNKMARKET Style!! We are busy working on all of the details and events so stay tuned for for the nitty-gritty! Rumor has it there may be Friday night festivities, treasure hunts, shop alongs, possibly some good old fashioned Bingo for Show Bucks, and more! Woo hoo! i seriously can't wait. This promises to be way too much fun.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For those of you who have never been to the Vintage Marketplace or the Springfield Extravaganza- here a little bit of the back story. The Vintage Marketplace is a new edition to the Jenkin's shows. Think all things vintage, stylish, modern, junky and chic. This group of dealers will be housed in a series of large tents in the center hub of the May Extravaganza- May 18-20.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Extravaganza itself is a 40 year old institution featuring 2,000 vendors and over 20,000 customers. The show boasts antiques, collectibles, garden, vintage, & flea market finds. Simply put, if you can't find it here, it can't be found.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The addition of the Vintage Marketplace to the Extravaganza means one thing. Take out your 2012 calendar and write the words "can't miss" on the dates May 18-20,2012. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please visit <a href="http://www.vintagemarketplacestyle.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">www.vintagemarketplacestyle.blogspot.com</span></a> for all of the details. I you would, please grab the badge on the side of my blog and put it on your blog to help spread the good news.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As she always says...."Create Your Own Style...One Piece of Junk at a time! At the Vintage Marketplace in Springfield, Ohio you can do just that. See you there!!!<br />

Wow, a lot has happened in the last few months. You already know I worked a Christmas job (at Target). And lucky me, they liked me so much they kept me!? Oh joy?!! Then I went road tripping to Nashville (for the Vintage Marketplace) with my gal pals Julie Broshat of JULZ, Annie de Jongh of Grace and Corazon and Sue Whitney of JUNKMARKET. That's a story in and of itself (always is with Sue)...and it was an absolute blast!! Then...I quit my job at Target (happy, happy, joy, joy, happy, happy, joy!). Can you say relief? Let's just say it wasn't my dream job. But in Target's defense, it's an Amazing (with a capital A) company with amazing people. That's why I stayed on after the holidays. I just didn't want to say good bye to all my new friends!<br />
<br />
Ok, now where was I?? I get so easily sidetracked! That darn A.D.D.! Oh yes, just some little thing I was doing next. Nothing big. I was just co-promoter with Sue Whitney for JUNKMARKET Under Glass "March Madness". Did I forgot to mention that??? It was really, really exciting (and a lot of work). Needless to say I have been a busy girl! And now I'm on to my next adventure. And with Target behind me, back to blogging. Yeah!!!!<br />
<br />
So where do I go from here? We'll it's off to Ohio in May, for The Vintage Marketplace that's part of the "huge" Springfield show. I am so excited for that!!! I'll be back on the road with my gal pals. Yippee! And I'll also get to go hang out with Lisa from Urban Farmhouse (love her!), and meet more fun an exciting people. Wow, life is good! <br />
<br />
I've got tons of pictures from the past events and will be posting them bit by bit. Guess I wasn't too busy to take pictures :-) I've really have missed my blogging friends. Can't wait to get back into the swing of things!<br />
