Same but different

My last post was about
The Vintage Nest
moving to a new shop
 
JunknLove
 
.....fast forward a couple of weeks
 
I'm still at the same great place
but it now has a new name
 
(and new management)
 
Junktoria 
 

 
and the Vintage Nest
has a few changes too
 

 

 
The hanging sign is a new addition to my booth
 
It's made out of a twin foot board from an old bed
 
 
 
the blue and white shelves at the front of
my booth are new also
 
The blue one was free and I scored the
white one for $10.00 at an estate sale
 
 
 
 

 
 
Here is my latest piece of painted furniture
 
 
A Cute little desk with baskets on the side
 
 
 
I'm constantly bringing in new
inventory so the booth is filling up nicely
 


 
However merchandise is selling well
so I'm staying busy working
on more "junk" for my booth!
 
Here's my latest project
for my booth
R A G
B A N N E R
 
 
And one last thing
 
I have a new neighbor
 
Sherry moved her cute booth in next to me
 
Check it out!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Isn't it darling!!!
 
THINGS ARE HAPPENING
AT JUNKTORIA!
 
STOP IN AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF

Funky Town

I've spent the last three days
movin' over to the funky side of town
 
(As Marianne @ JunknLove calls it!)
 
 
And girlfriend, once you cross those tracks
there's no lookin' back!
 
 
 
My space - B E F O R E
 
 
    My Booth - AFTER
 
 
 
BUT BETWEEN
THE BEFORE AND AFTER
 
There was a great "team effort" of work
that brought this all about
 
 
First hubby and I had to build
the space
 
 
Second, re-think it and make changes!!!
 
(Now do this over and over until you think
it looks perfect - yea right, like that
will ever happen)
 

Love my ladder
 
but not in this spot
 
(I'll find another place for it, maybe)
 

 
Close but still not right
time to make more changes
 
 
It was about here that
a lady walked into my booth
and bought the blue desk and chair
 
.....time to do the "happy dance"
and then start moving things around- AGAIN! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Things are lookin' good!
 
 
 This might be a good place to stop.....
 
FOR TODAY ANYWAY
 
JunknLove may be on the other side
of the tracks
 
B U T
 
Believe me baby, it's on the fast track!
 
Furniture has been flying out those two
front doors all week
 
THE VINTAGE NEST
HAS FOUND HER HOME!!
 

 
Every Little Birdie says
 
Many thanks to
My hubby for his expert skills in building my booth
My girlfriend, Judy, for all her hard work and help
and to David and Aaron for being my "strong man" movers
YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!

There's Change in the Air

I know I promised my friends & family
my next post would be about our
time in France.....
 
However, I just couldn't wait to tell
you about a change that's going on.........
 
The Vintage Nest is moving!!!!!
(again)
 
 
You know how it is, Autumn comes
and you can just feel the change in the air
 
Well, I've felt this change a comin' for a while
and now that it's here I couldn't be more EXCITED
 
 
There is a new place in town
and girlfriend it's right up my alley!
 
And I bet it is yours too!!
 
 
The Vintage Nest will be moving
into
J U N K N L O V E
the end of November
 
It's located at 1412 Juan Linn in Victoria, Texas
For those of you that are local take Laurent Street
South pass the big Laurent Antique Mall, cross over Hwy 59 and hang
a right on Juan Linn. 
 It's the shabby building on the right.
 
I absolutely love the atmosphere and energy
of this great new shop!
 
Michelle and Mariane (partners in the shop
and two awesome junkin' gals)
have done a great job putting together
such an eclectic group of vendors
and I'm proud to be one of them
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Aren't you in Junk Heaven!


 
 
Oh but wait, it gets junkier
and if you love junk you'll
know that's a good thing!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is the hottest new place in town!
 
 
 
 
and I'm thrilled to be joining
all the excitement very soon....
 
That blank area in the back
is soon to be my space
Can't wait to show you how I Junk it Up!!!
