Vintage Valentine Frenzy

I hope everyone had a romaaaantic Valentine's! Woot woot! 

Men were buzzing in and out of Kalona Junction buying their honey's gifts. I guess chivalry isn't dead yet.

So, before Karen and I put everything away at the shop, here are pics to commemorate the occasion.

We love vintage v-day cards!

Karen got in scads of vintage flour sacks!

Scrabble letters were perfect for decorating.

Red jewelry was a must around V-Day.

For the quirky decorators, we had heart anatomy cards!

Junk Jubilee Jingles 2013

Karen and I had a blast at Junk Jubilee this year! We had great sales and met up with our junk friends!

Even little Roslyn came to the show!

My first show back!

The Nursery: In-Progress

Well, I don't know if I have made my pregnancy blog-official, but here it is: I am pregnant! My due date is 9 days away! Not much of a warning! To busy myself until our little angel appears, I am stocking my booths and preparing our apartment. Here is the nursery! It is still in-progress, since my mom has a quilt for it, and I hope to get the walls painted a light gray, but it is a good start.

Antique Buffet Redo

While in Kansas seeing my sister, we junked around like maniacs, and I found this beautiful buffet! You may remember it from a past post. Well, after weeks of renovation on it, it was finished and brought to Kalona Junction! It wasn't even in the store 24 hours and it was sold!

 I love this piece so much! I am going to miss it!

Going shabby chic at Kalona junction

Almost every week when I stroll into Kalona Junction, Karen has a new hair-brained idea to switch the entire store around! She loves change and so do the customers... So I oblige her. She wanted shabby chic incorporated into the store. And I do love shabby chic! So, we gathered all of our antique whites and began the transformation! A day later, this is how it turned out!

Karen's New Old Couch

Karen got this fabulous antique couch at an auction, and thought it needed to be revamped for the store. So, she took her favorite fabrics, quilted them, and hauled the couch to the Kalona furniture man. He did his reupholstering with great craftsmanship, and this is how it turned out! I love it!!! Totally unique and funky! Karen loved it so much, she can't part with it. So, sadly, this beauty is not for sale. It is staying in Karen's living room! But, be inspired by these pics!
