junque gal at 3 Vintage Chicks

junque gal has moved into 3 Vintage Chicks! They are located  at 13012 N Cave Creek Road in Phoenix! They are open  Monday through Sunday 10 am to 5 pm! The girls there are sooooooo sweet and helpful and made me feel right at home! There is a theme every month and for June it is "Summer Lovin"! After I heard what the theme was it seemed like everything I found was turquoise and apple green! I have a spot by the front window it lets in so much light and gives me tons of design options! 

I have already sold 2 of these clock faces and getting more ready! 

This wooden shelf would be great to hold pool towels and toys! 

I just love these flowers in this blue box it has green paint underneath the blue I just distressed it so it was more visible! See what I mean I just kept finding blue & green! 

This bench was wood tone and had an ugly tweed fabric on the seat so I painted it white and did a dry brush of gray paint! I found this material at Joanne's I thought it was perfect to tie all the colors together!

 

Junque Gal at Sweet Salvage on 7th Ave Over The Rooftop!

My one year anniversary of being lucky enough to participate in Sweet Salvage on 7th Ave was the "Over the Rooftop!" Show but  Since I am not into the traditional colors of Christmas I decided to go with the muted tones of gray, white, black & a little turquoise and a small amount of metallics and of course galvanized! I pretty much love anything galvanized!

Cute white vintage metal birdcage with flocked tree and ceramic bird candleholder!

Joy to the World globe in a very nice wooden stand!

A few of these clock faces went to new homes! I will have more at the December Sweet Salvage Sweet Flea where I will be inside!

I used this cute vintage Christmas card holder as a tree base and it went to a new home! So did the nice gold metal piece behind it, it looked likes sleigh!

This silver tray went to hold goodies at someone's holiday celebration!

I love the turquoise color & rust of this corrugated metal trim, what's great tree skirt it would make!

This chalkboard with a fantastic frame and a little of my chalk work went to a new home!

This cute vintage shabby dresser sold!

This cute burlap covered tuffet sold, I love the grey frilly trim! 

For 1 year, I have been loading the truck with my goodies on Wednesday evening, rising at 4 am on Thursday to beat the traffic through Phoenix, pulling up out front of Sweet Salvage to unload and vignette while I watch our Sweets, some of our regulars & some for the 1st time, arrive to line up in anticipation of what awaits them inside but next month, I too, will be inside!  So while you may have visions of sugar plums dancing in your head I have vignettes and furniture placement in mine! See you at Sweet Flea!

Junque Gal at Junk in the Trunk

What a great time Junk In The Trunk is! I get to meet so many junkers who get my visions and appreciate my ideas! We had a great day, me with my rusty and painted finds and Pat with her vintage shabby finds. 

Well we started out with our booth cramped full of goodies! 

Hated to see this Comet pedal car go but it went to a good home!

My refurbished office chair was a hit and sold as did most of these items!

This red cart sold right away and my recovered doctor's chair went to a favorite customer! I wasn't sure if the bright yellow table would be for everyones taste but one special someone bought it!

These 4 outdoor metal chairs with recovered seats went to a great lady!

Saturday Junkin'

Just love the rusty goodness!

These legs will make a great base to table!! And after I add a basket to the stroller it will make a great cart for shopping at the flea market! The cart with the basket came from a midwife's house, it used to hold the newborn babies!

This watering trough will make a great planter or table or hold ice and drinks for a party

Junque Gal at Sweet Salvage 'Tis The Season!

Well imagine my surprise and delight to be asked to be a part of Sweet Salvage 'Tis the Season!! I set up out side by the front window. I went with a white, black, silver & turquoise theme!

The round table with a Paris stencil sold as well as the almost pristine white metal kitchen cart!

I thought this sign would be cute for a Holiday decoration 25 days of Christmas!

I just love this aluminum coated table so much it almost didn't make it to the show, it would look fabulous in my living room but it is kinda fancy for me!

This cement Madonna would go any where inside or out!

This sparkly pine tree with vintage jewelry decorations went to a new home!

I took a vintage hand vase and painted the nails silver and added a burlap bow!

Kim was nice enough to add some of my junque inside when the rain started! How exciting!

I was inspired to make this galvanized container into a decorated tussy! It could hold mail, magazines, guest towels or whatever!

And I even added some glitter with this MERRY sign and the lamp shades for these gorgeous glass lamps!!

2 weeks to Junk in the Trunk!!

Well it's 2 weeks to the Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market and I am not painting or creating...why because I am in Indiana getting acquainted with my newest grand daughter!! But I think I will get to visit the vintage show in Carmel next Friday so that will be fun!!

....finally a new laptop

Well I finally got a new laptop so I can get back to blogging!! So many projects in the works but I need to do some catching up and post some pictures from Green Table Gifts 2nd Anniversary Celebration that I was at last Saturday as soon as I can figure out how.....

Today I finally bought a Chromebook so I can continue with my blog!! Yay no more sharing with the hubs or trying to type on my Iphone. So the journey continues.... more Junque gal projects ahead!! 

Junque Gal in the City at Green Table Gifts

...So I have been very busy getting ready to sell at Green Table Gifts 2nd Anniversary Celebration. I have been having great luck picking in the last couple of weeks - it's always feast or famine. I will probably have a dry spell soon and get frantic about having junque for the Junk In The Trunk November show!!
I have been getting a lot of what I like to call "New Country" or I have been styling it to be. I am staging in my living room to see how all these pieces go together, lots of gray, creamy white, distressed wood & rusty metal! I recovered a couple of stool seats in a tiny gray and white checked material, I love it! I will post some pictures on the blog when I get done staging!

New Tablet for my blog

So today my new tablet  came so I can take & post pictures and blog from anywhere.....how exciting! Since my laptop crashed I was either trying  to post from my phone or sharing the desktop with the hubs! So now I  feel as free as a bird and can share alot more of my painting projects!

Mixing Paint at Green Table Gifts

Junk In The Trunk Vendor Open House

So this afternoon I left Casa Grande early to attend the JunkIn The Trunk Vendor Open House! As expected I was not disappointed of course the JI T T girls had a great spread and lots of fun in store! Met some new dealers & lots if old friends, in fact I will probably be horse tomorrow from talking so much! So happy to see my friend Pat Vintage Gypsy we will have so much fun selling at the April Market!
I did stop along the way to visit Green Table Gifts at the new location and try out the new free workshop and learned to mix paint to make some great brown colors. I will def go to future workshops.
Along the way I could not resist stopping at some thrift stores and scored a birdcage and a vintage bicycle basket!

An estate sale, an auction & a visit to Gatherings

Well left in the dark Friday morning to go to an estate sale. The hubs came with me since his truck was in the shop and I was dropping him off at work. It turned out to be a good thing as he was 2nd in line. Once I got inside I spotted a beautiful green medical cabinet so put a SOLD sign and as I entered the next room saw another green cabinet so i said to the hubs, which one should we get, his reply get them both! I love that man! So Saturday we went to an auction that was outside, brrrrrrrr! But I got some really cool stuff, no pun intended! Came home unloaded the truck and went down to In a Pear Tree to meet up with my buds, Kirstin & Amy and headed down to Gather Vintage Market in Tucson. What a great venue A corrugated metal building with lots of wooden beams, so cool to hang stuff from! Really great vintage items displayed in great ways, wish I could have gone everyday so I wouldn't have missed anything! Will definitely go again! Then we went to 1702 for some of the best pizza &a beer! Then like true junquers we stopped at a few thrift stores where I got a cool old cement swan! All told a fab day!
