Karen Scheffe from Elan Photography will be at the market running a vintage themed photo booth!  It is free and all you have to do is pay for your prints for only $15!  This is an unbelievable price that she is giving just to our Junk in the Trunk shoppers and friends.  Christmas cards anyone??  You won’t want to miss it!  She is amazing and this is a great opportunity to capture fun memories with your family and friends!

 

We are also offering DIY Demos throughout the day.

At 11:15 Trouve will be demonstrating how to use Annie Sloan paint!  They are trained and willing to share their secrets with us!

 

At 12:15 For the Love of Old will be demonstrating how to distress furniture to create that awesome old, chippy look.

At 1:15 Mandy from Mable Dear (and our wonderful guest blogger) will be demonstrating how to create those Zinc inspired letters, perfect for your kitchen.

 

All of these are included with your admission ticket!

As well as each admission ticket purchased will get you a ticket into our hourly giveaways from our amazing vendors!  More on that later this week.  So stay tuned.

Students from Young Life will be there raising money to go to camp.  They will be available to help carry all your fun vintage finds to your car!  We will also be raffling off this amazing mining cart from Modern Manor to help them raise money for camp!  Make sure to stop by and purchase your raffle tickets!

Paint Chip Garland

Over here the Junk in the Trunk Trio, along with our husbands and families, have been very VERY busy preparing for the quickly approaching Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market.

So today I have a quick and easy project for you, one that I have been working on for the market.  If you are looking a great way to decorate on a budget, I have a fun garland for you to make.  Supplies you need are paint chips from your local hardware store (or I discovered this week you can also find that at Walmart!  They really are the one stop shop), a paper cutter if you have one (or a pair of scissors work, just a little more time consuming), and a sewing machine.  Are you ready?

All you have to do is cut the paint chips into different sized strips, the randomness of the different sizes adds to the garland.

Then you take your strips of paint chips and sew straight through the middle (across the short side) of each chips creating one long string of paint chips.  One long paint chip garland.

And that’s it!  Quick and easy.  I don’t know about you, but I love that kind of project.

2 weeks away!

On Friday the Trio had an open house so we could meet all our vendors and answer any questions they had for the upcoming market.  We were so blown away at how wonderful they all truly are.  We knew they had talent, because we saw their work, but we hadn’t all met most of them.  We are excited to offer you one of a kind vintage, antique and handmade items from these amazing people!

It is only two weeks away!  We can’t wait!  You won’t want to miss this…

Shopping for a Cause

I had the privilege today to join 80 wonderful women helping send teen moms to camp to learn about Jesus.  We had our annual YoungLives tea fundraiser and it was so powerful to hear from these young moms and the way YoungLives has changed their lives and their family trees.  YoungLives is a group in the Young Life organization for teen moms where they can come and feel accepted and loved for who they are.  And guess what?  You can help too!  What do you have to do you ask?  Well, just come to our market!

A portion of all ticket sales will help support Young Life of Paradise Valley. Young Life is a non-denominational Christian organization that reaches out to adolescents in the greater north Phoenix area through caring adults that spend time with youth in order to empower them to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose.

If you want first dibs on all the goods, early entry starts at 9am and is $8.  General admission is at 10am and is $4.  12 and under are free and after 3pm admission is free.

 

More exciting news…Modern Manor graciously donated this amazing industrial cart that will be given away at our show!  Raffle tickets will be sold for $1 and all the procedes will go straight to Young Life!

 

 

Most vendors will accept credit cards, but some can only take cash so there will be an ATM on site to use! :)
