Cambridge Antique Fair

Pin It

This year was the first time I had ever been to the Cambridge Antique Fair in Cambridge, MN.

I loved this set of St. Peter Jr. High School drum corps cases.

Loved this pair of mirrors, too! Hi, Angela of Found Salvage!

This great double bench is perfectly comfortable, 

and it has an umbrella hole in the table to make it extra fun!

Sonic was the perfect place to head with friends, Lani of Cottage Elements, and Jan of Summerspell.

Nothing like a cherry limeade on a hot summer day of junking!

Beadboard Cabinet: What Would You Do?

Pin It

Saw this cute cabinet with beadboard and cup pulls at the Grand Rapids swap meet. What would you do with it if it were yours? Would you change the finish or keep it as is? Where would you put it? How would you use it?

Junk Photo: All Feet on Deck!

Pin It

Loved these fabric dummies/mannequins at the Grand Rapids swap meet! These belonged to Todd, a vendor in Old Town Antiques in Duluth, MN. Wouldn't these be fun for Halloween? I'm sure some of you junkers could come up with a few other fun ideas!

Junk Photos: Vintage Jeweled Pins

Pin It

I love when flea market and antique store vendors take time to create beautiful displays. Well-vignetted booths attract me like a moth to a flame. 

This simple table-top vignette, with a burlap table cover, a carved mirror as a tray, and three vintage jeweled pins, was a delightful display by a vendor at the Grand Rapids swap meet. This is from the same vendor with the silverware and rusty bed spring display. Loved her booth! I'll have to see if I can find out her name!

Junk Photos: Silverware & Rusty Springs

Apparently, I'm drawn to things that are shiny and swirly. 

This silverware, nestled in a bed spring, knew how to work the camera.

Couldn't get enough of this junk goodness at the Grand Rapids swap meet!

Junk Find: Brass Bank Teller Window

Pin It

Meet Alvin. Alvin is a vendor out of Perham, MN, who was set up at the Grand Rapids swap meet. He's holding a fabulous item I picked up in his booth. It's a brass teller window from a bank. You can see the hinges about 3/4 of the way down...that's where the bottom window can fold up, if needed. This will make for a fun decor or project piece!

Junk Find: Vintage Goalie Pads

Pin It

This is Kim & Walt of CareFree Transition...an estate sale company in Minnesota. They were some of friendly vendors set up at the Grand Rapids swap meet last weekend. They are holding a pair of vintage leather goalie pads I purchased from them. If you are like my hubby, you are now asking, "What in the heck are you going to do with those?" You'll have to stay tuned here at Junkologie to see!
