The July Second Saturdayz Market is coming!

It is that time again!

Time for some fabulous shopping, treasure searching, maybe stopping for an early morning coffee with friends on your way...

Yes, this coming Saturday - JULY 10TH - is a Second Saturdayz market!!! As I missed it last month, I am anxious to get there and do some serious shopping!

The list of vendors is fabulous, and this group is really getting into their groove now. The July theme is "A FAMILY PICNIC" - I can't wait to see what they have planned this month!

They really do have something for everyone who loves vintage, worn, "chippy crap" (a favorite term in our home...) the way I do.

I love that they have everything from small fabulous very original pieces of jewelry...

to larger pieces like furniture - I am always looking for the perfect chippy industrial piece...

to wonderful *accessories* to brighten your home!

I would love to see you there so if you see me walking around with Ruby - my rather large camera, please stop by and introduce yourself!

The junk tribe has generously offered this coupon for you to use so that you can make it a morning of shopping with a friend. Print it off and bring it along for discounted entrance rates!

The market is held at Magnuson Park on Sandpoint Way in Seattle. More information can be found here - directions can be found here.

Early admission is $10 from 8-10am and general admission is $3 from 10am - 3pm~

I hope to see you there!

Second Saturdayz - not to be missed!

fabulous sale alert! fabulous sale alert!

This Saturday- June 12th- is the second Saturday of the month. Do you know what that means? If you love vintage, if you love chippy paint, if you love fabulous - you will love Second Saturdayz! We are so fortunate here in the Seattle area to have a new monthly sale to shop!

I was there last month for the first sale and honestly - it is a sale not to be missed.

The vendors are topnotch.

There are endless treasures to be found.

And it is the only one of it's kind in our area!

Second Saturdayz is held at Magnuson Park on Sandpoint Way in Seattle. The directions can be found here. Honestly, if you love vintage, old, chippy, rusty, eclectic, or fabulous, this is a sale you really don't want to miss. It is my favorite monthly show and if you go, I bet it will become yours~

funky junk sisters vintage flea market

Friday night I spent the evening with some fabulous ladies from the local flea market junk world. The ever-fabulous Linda and Dixie of Funky Junk Sisters fame were hosting their semi-annual Funky Junk Sisters Vintage Flea Market. It is one of my favorites and if you are ever in the area when they are having one, you really do need to go. It is that good.

I thought I would share some of the images I shot that night. It is an easy show to shoot as there are so many treasures there and they are displayed in beautifully displayed booths~

I also was able to meet and spend a short time with a fellow Minnesotan - Sue Whitney. This gorgeous and incredibly tiny woman had more energy and spirit in her right pinky than many of us have in our entire bodies. It was inspiring to talk to her and absorb some of that enthusiasm! I think this woman will help to change the way we look at recycling and repurposing items and finding ways to integrate these items into our lives.

There were also a few of the Sisters on the Fly in attendance- a fabulous group of women who pull their own incredibly cool trailers to a vast array of locations, in search of adventure and exciting times with other women. And, of course, they completely inspired me - I am absolutely joining! Mabel belongs in a group like that! We will have a ball, I am sure!

Finally, I want to say hello to these three darling girls~ They had a booth called *4th Avenue* and it was (I believe) their first show. They were so cute and I had such fun shooting them in front of the old truck that the sisters had borrowed (and I am sure are still trying to figure out a way to make their own...).

There were so many fabulous vendors but unfortunately I didn't get cards from them all. For instance - this photo:

I love this photo but didn't get a card from the sassy lady who ran this booth. She was so fun - and looked marvelous in her boots and skirt!

I do want to share a few links - those that did give me their cards. If you see a photo of your booth here and want to send me your link, I will happily add it to this post!
