Plucky Maidens Junk Fest Fun

 I spent yesterday at the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest.  That Pam, the Pluckiest Maiden Of Them All, really knows how to throw a party!  I had the pleasure of visiting with two of my blog land friends and a fun encounter with a fellow button lover.  The Party Bird above was made by blog-friend Laurie, aka Magpie Ethel and she very kindly gifted it to me. Be sure to link over and check out the photos of her booth.  She has a magic touch!  The two Mr. and Mrs. Snowman sweethearts were gifted to me by blog-friend Amy from Into Vintage. She has an amazing eye for vintage goodness!
 She included the cutest little Christmas gift card.  Dang!  Why don't I ever find these!
 Naturally I had to do some shopping, as well.  Vintage white hankies, pocket watch lenses and a lovely lady that will make her way to an inspiration kit or altered Altoids tin.
 A big score of vintage sewing trims wrapped on wooden spindles.  I am not sure how I will put these to use but for now I am content to get my eyes filled up with the beautiful colors and patterns.
 A nice little packet of vintage bling for adding to my ever-growing stash.
The scale doesn't show up right in this photo because this is a large jar of buttons.  Stay tuned and I will show you my favorites in the next post.
I hope your weekend was filled with wonderful junk!

Oh my gosh, you get so much beautiful and wonderful stuff from your trips. I went today, and I found 4 spools of non-vintage, okay looking lace, okay looking wallpaper, and 2 pink rolls of yarn. I never find buttons, and doily and all the things I want to find. But I also can't find a good thrift store with prices I like either. Today I went to goodwill.
