Calling all junkers! If you are in the Minneapolis area this upcoming week, a stop at the  Art+Architecture JunkMarket Style (AAJMS) event should be at the top of your agenda!

The event kicks off this Wednesday with a charitable gala involving food, beverages, music, and {wait for it }...early bird shopping! While you are enjoying the epitome of junk goodness, your admission fee will be benefiting the Freedom to Fly charity. Yes, your junking is helping other people!!

Our clever friend at Junk Exchange was the closest guess in our mystery item challenge. He was almost right on the money! The contraption above is a bull blinder. It slips over the bull's head to cover his eyes.

Talk about an uncomfortable bra! Okay, I have no idea, but that was my first thought!

Cassie @ Primitive & Proper said...

oh my goodness, anita and i are so on the same page! i was going to say a very primitive and painful bra!!

afistfullofweeds* said...

Looks like a primitive BOOTY POP!! A chasity belt comes to mind also!! eewwwww!!

Junk Exchange said...
