Some of the fun at the auction

The fun started early, gathering on the lawn to listen to the music.

The Bandanas played/sang again this year. These three sisters know how to have fun!

The wine for this years event came from local MN/WI wineries.  I hope everyone will make a trip to visit these great wineries this fall.  Cannon River Winery, Danzinger Vineyards, Garvin Heights Vineyards, Salem Glen Winery and Whitewater Wines.  I loved visiting each of them to select the wines we used for the event.   Thank You to each of them!

The' Queen of Junk' was in attendance for the event along with Lani.

2nd annual vintage Treasures Market

Vintage Treasures Market will soon be upon us.   June 18 & 19, 2010  Starting at 9 AM to 6 PM.  Are you ready?   Our vendors are getting ready for you and we even have a couple of new vendors  this year.                                            This is one of the tents as it is being set up last year.

                                                              of days.   Stay tuned.

We still have room for more vendors

Junk {re}defined gets together with other junker friends

Kountry Junkers, Emma's Nook and Granny and other friends joined us this past weekend for a little fun, food and relaxation... Plus alot of discussion about JUNK.   Making plans for Arts & Arch. Junkmarket Style in May, Vintage Treasures Market in June and Junk Bonanza in Sept.

4 days before the Auction and more items

This window box was donated by the Kountry Junkers in Chippewa Falls, WI


Two outdoor items my uncle made the chairs, we
just did the painting of them. The Chaise just needed a little cleaning and a new cushion with pillow.

This magazine table has been around awhile, used at college by a neice and then in her apartment and traveled to Las Vegas until she moved into her new home in May and then it returned to MN. It was chippy beige woodtone and has been repainted and some placemats cut and adhered to the surface for a texture.

Will have to take an additional picture of this one in better light. We received a very large table a couple of years ago for the auction but did not have time to work with it until last years auction when the top and leaves to the table became a deacons bench. The base was still remaining so part of it was placed on the bottom of plywood and painted black, mattress places on top and a fitted cover & pillow.

5 days to Trash to Treasure Charity Auction

These are some of the items coming in for the auction from other junk bloggers.
Cheryl of Tomboy Tools, Pine Island, MN 2-Kathy of shabbychick, Ohio 3-4- Amy of Junkologie , Duluth, MN donated these two

Other items coming in are:

Vintage Treasures Market a Success!

Saturday was a very busy day. We will probably have to go junking before Junk Bonanza in September as our inventory is now very low.

Group photo taken after Ki came to visit.

It is always a delight to talk with her and of course, her husband Kerry too. They had a busy day planned and it was nice that they were able to make time to stop here too.

Junk {re}defined Market

The Pfarkel sisters are getting ready for our spring market on Fri - Sat, May 8 & 9 from 10 to 5 at the Victorian Lace in St. Charles, MN. It is like spring cleaning with a little bit of a twist. We also will be having City-wide garage sales and city-wide cleanup day on the same weekend, which means we will be running in all directions. Our junk market sale will be in the house while the neices will be taking care of the garage sale at the garage and driveway and we will still have to make it around town to see what everyone else is throwing away curbside. Curbside is where we get our best things.
