Plucky Junk Fest Loot

 As promised, The Plucky Maidens Junk Fest loot.  Those folks sure have the right stuff!  A partial roll of very vintage wallpaper, something I almost never find around here.  You will be seeing THAT show up in my projects here and there.
 A sweet postcard that you will see heading up a post at a blog near you very soon and a nativity for my collection.  I'm having a hard time getting in to the Christmas decorating so far this year so that collection might be it!
 A little metal Eiffel Tower, another one of those odd jar sifters and a big pile of glass vials for adding glitter to my Altoid inspiration kits.
 A pile of findings, also for the Altoid kits.  This gal had a whole table full of this stuff and I could have "poked" all day long.  I think I went back three times.  It's the pirate in me.  8+)
 And WHAT was I thinking??  I adore wallpaper covered boxes and the shallow drawer at the top was love at first sight.  Thank you to Melanie at All My Favorite Things for helping it find it's way to me!
I got home and chaos ensued as I moved things this way and that and re-arranged and re-organized and did what I needed to do to make it fit.  Oh.My.Gosh, I do love this little set of drawers and the ones I covered just the other day look right at home on the top.  Tell me you've never done it...!

Plucky Junk

I had a fun time at the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest last night and picked up a few little treasures as I strolled around.  There was SO much fun stuff to see, if only I had more room!  Most of what I got will be headed to my Etsy.  The little rectangular flower frog is one I don't have and I adore the little rubber stamps and the hankie with the all-over floral design so those will be staying with me.  You might need to click the photo bigger to even spot them in the center.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Melanie from All My Favorite Things plus I ran into a gal I work with that was vending.  I didn't even know she was in to vintage so it was one of those small world things and fun to find out.
Our weather continues to be lovely and I am ready for a relaxing weekend ahead.  I hope your is the same!

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!
