Junk Bonanza is a huge flea market event held this year at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN. It runs this week from Thursday September 17 - Saturday September 19th. I have been wanting to go to this for years and I am super excited to be able to attend the 4th annual event. "Junk Bonanza is the brainchild of Ki Nassauer, author, designer, merchant, junker and co-editor of Flea Market Style, a new home décor magazine created in partnership with Celebrity Style Editor Matthew Mead." Ki is also the founder of JunkMarket and "co-authored Decorating JunkMarket Style and Junk Beautiful, Room by Room Makeovers; had a regular column in Country Home magazine; made appearances on HGTV’s "Country Style" series and the "TODAY" show; and hundreds of public appearances, nationwide." Source I'm so excited by this that I thought I would show a few projects others have made with "junk."

or how about this great teapot lamp?
Or Becki's great chair makeover:
I thought I'd keep today's post a little shorter as I have several other posts I plan on doing this week. If your anywhere near Minneapolis, MN you should consider going to Junk Bonanza. I'm so excited! Bring on the Junk!Happy Crafting!
Take me with you! I adore the teapot lamp (but I sorta feel like the shade needs to larger, no?)...

If you can get to Minnesota by Saturday morning, you can sure come with! ;) That shade could be a bit bigger.
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring me on your blog! Perhaps it's the angle of the photograph, but the manufacturer of the lamp shades, which I had custom designed for these lamps, provides a formula for correct proportion. It's more of a guideline than a rule, so I had them make the same black fabric shade in 2 sizes, the smaller of which is shown with the particular lamp featured. The shades are sold separately from the lamps, so the customer is able to select a size to their liking.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will check out my blog and Etsy shop to see more of my work! Thanks again - you have a great blog!
