Junkologie Adventure: Second Hand Rose in Buffalo, MN

Pin It



Are you ready for the summer junk season? Garage sales, flea markets, occasional sales, auctions, and estate sales abound! Thought you might enjoy these photos taken at Second Hand Rose in Buffalo, MN. Their April sale was excellent as always. 


Not a lot of chatter today...mostly photos. Why? For junk like this, it's all about the photos, baby! 














That chair above? It's not a normal size chair. That coat rack is a long, vintage ski...probably 6 feet, which means the chair is probably 7 feet tall by 6 feet wide. Yes, massive! Wouldn't that be a fun conversation starter at your poolside or lakeside retreat?


MORE JUNKOLOGIE ADVENTURES COMING UP!

Junkologie Adventures: Found Salvage, Rockford, MN

Pin It


Are you ready for some more junk adventures?


You might have seen my recent post about Found Salvage in Rockford, MN. Rockford is just down the road from Buffalo...one of the infamous occasional sale hubs of Minnesota. It's worth the short drive from Buffalo to Rockford to check out Angela's amazing finds.


Angela is the creative guru behind Found Salvage's urban chic collection of vintage and junk items. Seriously. This girl creates high end style with her eclectic mix of finds.


Can you see why I love her store and style?


Visit Angela on the Found Salvage Facebook page. Tell her Amy sent you! :)

A couple weekends ago, we went on a bit of an adventure. The main purpose was not junk-related, but we were able to sneak in a stop at a place we hadn't been before:

Flour Sack Antiques
State Highway 371
Pequot Lakes, MN

Here are some unique items that caught my eye...













Have any of you been to Flour Sack Antiques in Pequot, MN? Or maybe you've been to other stores in the area. Any recommendations for those traveling in Northern Minnesota? Please do tell...

Junkologie Adventures: The Marina in Buffalo, MN

Pin It

The handsome couple above are the owners of The Marina in Buffalo, MN. Everything about their store is eye-catching, breath-taking, and bordering on heart-stopping!


As I continued on my journey through Buffalo's April sales, I came upon their well-appointed store. Let me show you what I mean...


Are you captivated my these two large industrial planters like I am?


Seriously massive and seriously cool!


Add an iron bed with white linens to a rustic fence backdrop, and what do you have? The perfect mix.


This Litchfield Ice Cream Co. container...with casters!...would be great as a statement piece in a room.


How about this rolling industrial step stool? I'll take one, please!

Sheryl's stylings combined with her husband's ingenuity make for a fabulous shopping experience! The vignettes in their store were truly amazing. I chatted with them forever about their store and the special way that they help out the community. I'll get more details on that and share that with you in the future!

This wraps up my adventures in Buffalo. Here are the places I made it to on my last trip:


The amazing part is that these are only a smattering of the shops there. Next time, I'll have to plan for spending more of my day there so that I can visit the rest! See the full list of Buffalo shops at:

Found Salvage is the style child of none other than the vivacious Ms. Angela! I totally have a junk crush on her and her store in Rockford, MN! Why? I tend to love everything about her style and stylings. This was the first time I had been able to visit her store, but now that I know where it is, she might have to keep me away with a stick...or a junk restraining order. :) Since I don't live nearby, I love when she posts photos of her store on the Found Salvage Facebook page. Hear that, Angela? Photos! Photos! We want more photos!
