A Girls Weekend, Junk Included

Last weekend, some of the Found on Fremont gals and I were vendors at the Junk Salvation show in Puyallup, Washington. My friend Joan showed up too, and helped me with the heavy lifting and booth beautifying. Here are some photos...

The S.S. One Gal's Trash and the cutest nautical hat in the universe.

English elf decal on dotty paper in a vintage frame, candy beads and a sweet floral print.

Home Sweet Home pillow (SOLD!), 1930's print.

A trip to the beach, anyone?

Yummy stuff on a yummy pink shelf.

Pick a number, any number...or letter!

Vera is ready for a dip in the pool. Gigantic flower frogs are practical and pretty.

A glass lamp with a fabulous shade...(SOLD!) and other wonderfulness.

Fruits and flowers.

Cork floats and driftwood and a green seahorse family (SOLD!). What thing would you like to get your hands on? Please advise!

Sticking out like a sore thumb isn't always a bad thing

I've been out of pocket girls, and have missed you! Last weekend I was a vendor at the Funky Junk Sisters' Junk Salvation show. It was such great fun! One of my neighbors was my old friend Lisa from A Thing for Roses, and my other neighbor was my new friend Lisa from Peace, Love & all the Good Stuff. The show was chock-a-block with vendors selling fabulous wares. During set-up, I felt a little awkward as most of the gals were featuring country and shabby; you know, whites, creams, feathers and lace. It was a very different story over at One Gal's Trash. I'll show you what I mean:











I don't really do pastels. I guess you could say the same for my personality.

And sailing above it all, was my mascot, the S.S. One Gal's Trash. I could have sold her several times that day, but she is, absolutely and forever more, not for sale.

P.S. I'll be selling at the next Junk Salvation show May 13 & 14 in Puyallup, Washington. Just find the booth that looks like a carnival and you'll be in the right place!

Ship Shape!

Remember this treasure I found recently?

She'd had too many voyages on rocky seas and needed some TLC. I asked Mr. One Gal's Trash to work his magic...

He repaired the broken masts, glued the bits that were falling off and added rope for saving the pirates that go overboard.

Oh! And I christened her!

I'm bringing her to the Junk Salvation show this Saturday. She'll be high up on a shelf in my booth, so you'll be able to find me easily. Ahoy, mateys!
