It's time for an EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

A little "flea-ological" education for today...

.Extravaganza [ik-strav-uh-gan-zuh] :

any lavish or opulent show, event, assemblage, etc.

AND...We'll be there...this weekend!

The Springfield Antique & Flea Market - Extravaganza Weekend: September 17-18-19, 2010 - check site for hours, directions...etc. http://www.springfieldantiqueshow.com/

Terri and I will be in spaces 621 and 634 (just across from the Arts Building), and we've got LOTS of great things to sell - something for everybody - I promise!

The weather report looks simply divine for Friday and Saturday - and a slight chance of rain on Sunday) (The Weather Channel) - AND with over 2000 vendors - the crowds will definitely come...(woo hoo!!).

We're heading out on Thursday afternoon to get in line, catch up with some friends, and git-r-done! Our trailer is packed to the top - with no room to spare - hoping it doesn't explode as we open the door...(everything from vintage redesigned jewelry to fabulous pieces of furniture). Our friend, Ginny, is coming along too - she'll have some wonderful (and unique) antiques and primitives - and she's intending to sell it ALL!!

(It's an old pic - but this is us - in all our "Sanford & Son" glory!!

Here is a link to an old post...you can see some of our "junk"! Springfield Extravaganza

Hope to see you there - and maybe at the Country Living Fair (and pre-fair party at Sobo Style in Columbus) next weekend too!!!

Thanks for stopping by - and have a wonderful (almost) autumn day!

A JUNKMARKET Style event in O-H-I-O!!!!!

First...I know you were expecting to see a post on my finds from our trip on the 127 - World's Longest Yard Sale (I'll be getting back to that soon...promise!).

Life has been busy, and this past weekend...our baby got engaged!

Congratulations to our beautiful daughter, Kristen and her fiance Tom - they are a wonderful couple (MFEO....a little "Sleepless in Seattle trivia) - and we're so happy for them!
(and he's good with kids too - haha!)

But...back to the reason for this post.

I'll be going to the Country Living Fair this year (for the first time),

and will be in the company of JUNKMARKET Style's founder, Sue Whitney.

Sue is scheduled to be in the Gorilla Glue booth and will be doing demonstrations each day (and I'm sure she'll be out and about doing a bit of shopping...you know how us girls are...).

AND, on Saturday, she'll be on the main stage.

The Country Living Fair is held in Columbus, Ohio on September 24th through 26th.

Also........SPECIAL EVENT NOTICE:

Sue Whitney will be having a booksigning the day before (September 23rd - from 6-8pm) at one of the most unique stores in Columbus - Sobo Style, located at 3282 N. High St.

Katie Palmer, owner of Sobo Style AND our hostess for the evening, is planning a pre-Country Living Fair party, along with Sue's booksigning. It's going to be a fun night, hanging out with Sue and checking out her newest book, "JUNK Beautiful, Outdoor Edition...

AND shopping Katie's awesome inventory of old (repurposed, renewed, etc...) and new home furnishings and gift items. AND, of course the store is all decked out in fab fall-ish finery!!

So, we'll be saying so long to summer in a very stylish way.

Oops - almost forgot...there will also be a few giveaways throughout the night - and wine and cheese as well (our table will be set with a little JUNKMARKET Style) - what more do we need??? Well...maybe some chocolate!?! :)

Here are some pics of what you'll see...

Aren't these "gourd-ious"???
