Anniversary Market Wrap-up~

We had a great time at our January Market - thank you!

We're all wrapped up and ready to roll more out~
Congratulations to our gift certificate prize winners! Just in case your name matches any listed, the winners have all received a call~

We love smiles! Blair was here, and posed for us with her tiara~

You all deserve a crown, thanks for nine great years (that's just in this building - The PORCH had its start in Elk River and has been around alot longer~)

One of our Atelier entrance urns had to come indoors (after breaking off its anchor bolts and trying to roll away). Now, I kind of like having it inside~
So, the shop is dimmed and quiet, but only for what seems like minutes~

So much behind-the-scenes here, and we love it!

A fresh palette to build on, transition is good --and basic to what we offer you~

We can quiet down for just a moment~

And, savor how lucky we are.

Thanks for everything, TERESA

Our January 2012 Market weekend~

Welcome to our colorful 2012! I'm loving this terrarium, a glass snifter with moss - just add bracelets~
Natural moss & bling - ooh, makes you stop for a moment~
The blue & green enamel & rhinestones like it there~

In fact, we're finding alot of blue tones here right now

What great color during this time of transition - in the shop and our homes~

Like these blue goblets

Do you like peeking through the French door glass and seeing this petite vignette, too?

More color - in PARIS pink~

and aqua blue (a great trunk/box)

Old canal print

Soothing black/white and light, too~

Iron with a bit of fluff~

Great mirrors, one and...

...two

The grand armoire is still available

The dimensions, for those who have asked (yes, over seven feet tall)~

A grand pressed glass bowl, too

Old parlor table, perfect beside a sofa~

Like this newly upholstered one ($245)

THANK you for all of your anniversary wishes! It's been a great time, talking with everyone who has been coming for nine years, along with those who just found us~

We've given away a PORCH/Atelier gift certificate each day - two more to go!
So, we hope to see YOU - join in the celebration with us. Open today & tomorrow for our annual clearance Market (Saturday 1/7 9-5, Sunday 1/8 noon-5)~ TERESA

More JANUARY 2012 Market Preview~

Wonderful pieces are arriving! You don't see pieces like these very often - old and grand~
The armoire~

With full dressing mirror door~

Original, adjustable shelves inside

Detail of the matching queen bed (yes, a grand bed size for its age!)

The bed sets up complete with its side rails and supports - ready for box spring and mattress~

Every flourish and detail is intact~

Now to the lower shop level - a great red chest

The bright tags are all sale prices - this is our annual clearance Market.

30's twig table

Great shed doors, and that's an old industrial cart reflected in the mirror

Very tall column on base, with a hook

One of a pair of lamps, $22 each with their great shades

That's a corner cabinet on the left - nice size. When you're here, look high/low/all around and have a great time - we're looking forward to celebrating our anniversary with you! ~TERESA

Our 9th Anniversary Market: January 2012~

We're excited! As the new year rolls around, I think about our first PORCH Market in this great old building (2003), and how many incredibly wonderful people (YOU!) we have met here over the years~ I'm filled with gratitude and humility. Thank you for enriching the junking experience beyond the best~
Let's look at a few photos of what's here. You know we offer our very best prices - well, when January rolls around, we hunt and peck and pull it all together with a SALE!

We're still hauling in, setting up and marking down~

Watch for more photos as we fill it up. We're open Tuesday January 3 (9-noon); Thu-Fri-Sat January 5-6-7 (9-5) and Sunday January 8 (noon-5).

And of course, we're wishing you the best of the New Year! ~TERESA
