It’s all in the details…Springfield Extravaganza & the Vintage Marketplace

 

Hot off the presses…here is the scoop (or scoops) and in very random order…on all the fun going on at this weekend’s Springfield Extravaganza & the Vintage Marketplace (and, I’m sure there’s more to come…)  So, grab a cup of coffee or your favorite diet drink - and take a peek…

The official schedule of events…click on the beautifully junky centerpiece below for all the “deets”!!! (These links are from the JMS website…check it out, and become a member while you’re there too!  We all love junk and LOVE to share – it’s the perfect place to be!)

You can also stop by the Vintage Marketplace blog…we’re just overflowing with information!!

And, my friend Sue Whitney (as seen below…”repurposing” a drill – a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, right??)…well – she’ll be busy sharing junk with EVERYONE!!!

A sweetstakes…I mean sweepstakes – can’t contain the excitement…click below and LIKE the Vintage Marketplace on facebook (and hurry…time is running out)…and peruse some of the photos, etc…

City Farmhouse, of Franklin, Tennessee, will be shopping the Vintage Marketplace AND Extravaganza…see what the experts are looking for…  They’ll be sharing their treasure hunting expedition at the JMS tent…

And, as mentioned in the Schedule of Events…there’s gonna be a party Saturday night – from 4-8…music, food and fun AND a birthday or three…to be celebrated.  This handsome devil is sort of the mascot, or maybe the theme…so, it’s a BYOB…Bring your own BEARDO – and join in!!  (I see dancing and/or singing, (or both) “beardo’s” in our future!!)

I’m working on my “Beardo”…it’s gonna be stinkin’ cute!

of Nostalgia’s Cottage

How do you like our three chairs????

 

P.S.  See…we’re all packed up and ready for some happy trails to Springfield!!

Hey, can we fit just one more thing to fit into the trailer??????…ha ha – just kidding. 

We could hardly get the back door shut!

 

Alright…stepping away from the computer – and hitting “publish” as I go…

It’s fall y’all…and you know what that means??? EXTRAVAGANZA & The Vintage Marketplace

 

Sweet chalkboard, right???

Hi and happy September!  I’m planning on doing a few posts over the next week and a half – keeping you up-to-date on what’s up at Extravaganza & The Vintage Marketplace (which, by the way…is less than two weeks away – September 14-16 – oh my gosh…my “to do” list is definitely not a “ta da” list yet!). 

The first thing I want let you in on is a sweepstakes – $500 gift certificate – that’s right 500 big ones to spend on antiques, “junk”, or whatever your little treasure hunting heart desires at Extravaganza.  Here’s the link on facebook – get over there quick and enter…

 

There are plans being finalized as we speak, well…as I type…for more fun and…well…more fun!  I don’t know how much more fun it can get…over 2,000 vendors at Extravaganza, and an amazing array of talented vendors in the Vintage Marketplace tents – it’s a bit overwhelming – but in a GOOD way!!  Wouldn’t you agree???

Terri, Susan and I are busy as bees…(even though this pic doesn’t tell “that” story…).  I’ll share a few pics of projects and fab “junk” we’ve found (with more to come…)! Sorry, I don’t want to give it all up – you just gotta be there!!

We’ll be in the same spot as in the spring – just across from the Mercantile Building – spaces 573 & 586 (not sure what the official Vintage Marketplace numbers are, but will let you know as soon as I do).  There should be a map available as well.

Just a few of my things…

Some junky bling!

       

A wonderful (previously ugly) lamp – that I painted and used Annie Sloan dark wax on – and it gave it such a fab “old world” patina…and shabbied “up” a lampshade to top it all off! 

Two old child’s metal chairs…with some fun vintage nursery rhyme style…Jack & Jill!

And the fabulous 60’s luggage that we found in Michigan!!

This great old chair…waiting to be given a nice dark wax!!

Some “lovely” cowboy boots!

Alright – that’s it for the moment…(this has to be a record for one of my shortest posts EVER!!!)  But, if I shared it all right now…well, I just can’t…you’ll have to keep checking back! 

I know Sue Whitney (of JUNKMARKET Style) has got some big fun planned, and I believe there’s a rumor that it’s also “someone’s” birthday too…or maybe a few “someones”…  Stay tuned!

Happy junking!

Kathy

P.S.  (ha ha…like always!)

Here are a few projects in the “works”…

Hmmmm…a few more pieces and parts, and this old drawer will make a great jewelry display piece…really!!

Trying to figure out what to do with these…

So, here’s hoping that I get a “round TUIT” all!

(a fun wooden nickel, wouldn’t you agree??)

OK…going now!
