Junk Salvation...Can I Get An "Amen?!"

Salvation comes in many forms, it is said.

And truth be told, 

I've experienced more than a few.

But prior to last Spring,

I had yet to relish firsthand the

"hallelujah, lordy

will ya look at all that heavenly JUNK !!!" 

form of redemption brought to junkers

far and wide by the beauteous and beneficent 

Funky Junk Sisters,

otherwise known as real-life sisters

Dixie Kazmark DeRocher and Linda Kazmark Albers.

These dynamite bundles of sibling junkin' energy

are responsible for Junk Salvation Vintage Flea Market

shows that the sisters tirelessly put on across this great land of ours,

rounding up the cream of the crop to join them.

Although they are based in Puyallup, Washington,

that hardly stops them from venturing to parts near, far

and in between to share the Junk Salvation love. 

Hooray and another Hallelujah for that!

Last Spring, I caught up with the gals at their Texas show,

held at the J.Lorraine Ghost Town in Manor, Texas,

near Austin.

And whaddaya know?

Fifi O'Neill caught a gander of the photos

I snapped there, and has featured them and my photos

in the Spring 2013 Romantic Country Magazine

in their "Best of the Fleas" !

The sisters....sweetness, beauty, talent and junking goddesses!

And coming back to Texas this year!

Here's the best of the rest.

Enjoy!

The ghost town setting was the perfect backdrop

for a day full of spirited junking. { groan, I know... }

Magic Mike's got NOTHIN' on this guy.

I finally had the pleasure of meeting 

this talented and gracious lady,

Jana Holland of Collected Treasures and Nettie Jane Designs.

And then I bumped into sweet Maggie Lopez of The Veranda,

and she graciously allowed me to snap the photo below,

full of her wowza stamped spoon jewelry....

Which in turn caught the eye of one Sue of Vintage Rescue Squad,

which led to this.....

Thank you, Maggie and Sue!
You too can have a copy of the 2013 Dreaming of Junking Calendar

And another favorite...there is NOTHING that Brandy does

that I do not love! Her creative mind works in magically

twisted ways, and her creations never fail to astound and inspire.

Visit her Etsy Shop, but make sure you have your

credit card number handy, you're gonna need it.

Her creations are wonderfully, quirkily addictive!

But my favorite photo of the day

had to be THIS one below....

That pretty much says it all.

The beer was cold and wonderful, but the drins?

I wouldn't know.
