Taking our shop on the road~

It's that time again - this week we load up and head out to Shakopee MN for JUNK BONANZA~

We've also been junking all the more and getting it all together - aka we'll be FULL for our October 1/3-4-5-6 Market at The PORCH and Atelier in Buffalo, too~

 Also on our October calendar - MILK PAINT 101, October 10, 6:00pm.  Preregister by calling 763 684-1254.  We LOVE Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint!

Our tester size is a great way to sample a color before committing to a quart size bag~

 18 colors (15 are here now - three new colors in late Fall)

 Yes, the lights will be dimmed here for a bit.  Atelier is closed September 26-27-28 (call and leave a voice mail if you need Miss Mustard Seed products - we'll work something out).  And---

---as always, we'll return all the better for the new experiences we'll have and friends we'll meet.  Watch The Porch and Atelier Facebook page for Junk Bonanza photos throughout this week - thank you, TERESA

JUNK BONANZA Spring 2013

Thank you to everyone for a grand experience and all the great energy at the Spring JUNK BONANZA!  

 Once again, more able help and work than you can imagine.  Kari and Doris (find them at Kari's shop: Past Perfect) spent a full day staging, with awesome results.

 If you think about it, it's a great lesson in layering and stacking by color, texture, size and style~

 You can see Kari in the bottom/center of the mirror - planning what to do next.

 Always the details - vintage wallpaper as a runner/rug under the furniture

 So much stacked and layered in one space - I wondered if everything could be seen and found --- it was!

Thank you to JUNK BONANZA staff for a wonderful show, everyone who helped me with the show and all of its prep, and of course to everyone who attended.  Hoping you love what you found, and see you at the FALL Bonanza!  ~TERESA
