I found these amazing guages at Tamaras booth. Had to go back for them because I couldnt get them out of my head. Glad they were still there! Wish I had snapped a photo of Tamara, she is just a doll and always has the most fab finds! You can check out her junk at Sweet Salvage and The Buffalo Nickle.
Lori and I at her Round Barn Potting Company booth. They had such fab junk, I think it was almost sold out by the end of the first day! Loved seeing Lanettes (Cottage Elements) corbel shelf for sale. Even more beautiful in person. Great Job Ladies! BTW, I still want the sink! Wonder where the bidding is now???
Lori designed these uber cute, environmentally friendly, bags for her shop. Love it!
Andy from Architectural Antiques and his handy dany organ pipe. Just to prove that it really worked, I had him blow it for me! What a guy! He always makes me laugh! Thanks for playing Andy!
Cheryl, Cherwood as we know her, was hard at work on a very sweet project in her Tom Boy Tools booth. Ask her who broke the drill bit! 
Had the pleasure of meeting Don and the rest of the crew in attendance from West End Salvage in Des Moines, IA. What a terrific group, who I hope to see much more of in the near future! They had this incredible mantle that I dreamed of all last night! Hmmmm, might have to go back for that one too!
Check out these beauties! The gang down at West End are making the coolest trunk tables. Better snag one of these before they are gone!

CottageElements writes: Amen, to what Gretchen said. I love them both and readily support them in their new endevours. I told Ki at the Bonanza how awesome it was, I love her to death. I choose to remain positive and support them both as they go their own way. Let's keep this site positive, please. That's why we're here. Posted: 8:15 pm on October 2nd

MimiToria writes: Nebrjunk456 and retrogal - those of us that posted in response to Kimberlys post are quite aware the Ki is in charge of the Junk Bonanza. CottageElements sold at a booth there, and met Kimberly in person, so thanked her for stopping by her booth. Same goes for Cherwood. I too met Kimberly for the first time at Junk Bonanza. I was a shopper at Junk Bonanza, Kimberly was shopping at Junk Bonanza and all we are saying is that it was a fabulous venue for shopping and letting other members know what a great time we all had.
If you reread everyones comments, no one gave Sue or Kimberly any credit in regards to Junk Bonanza. I'm sorry you somehow that was happening. Ki and her group did a fabulous job with the Junk Bonanza in my opinion and I personally told Ki so at the day I attended the Bonanza. I felt it far exceeded the past years sales, and I know it was because of her hard work and sweat.
Both ladies are extremely talented that were partners in the original Junk Market and I wish both of them own successes wherever their future journeys take them.
I hope this clears any misunderstandings up, as my hope is that this site can remain positive, supportive and uplifting to all lovers of junk.

retrogal writes: I second that Nebrjunk: Ki worked her rear off for this event and it came off flawlessly. Best of luck to her, I know she'll succeed at all of her future endeavors.
And for the record SHE FOUNDED the JunkMarket.

Nebrjunk456 writes: Does anyone here realize that Sue and Kimberly have nothing to do with the Junk Bonanza? Why are we thanking Kimberly!??!?!? for what, the person we need to thank is Ki. Are Sue and Kimberly riding on Ki's shirt tail? Seems a little deceaving. The Junk Bonanza is a great success because of Ki's blood, sweat, devotion, and hard work. Ki is one of the hardest working people I know, she is also the most true, pure, and honest person I know. So if we are thanking anyone, let's give credit where credit is due, Thanks Ki.

We were thrilled with the junk we bought and with the junk we should have bought. What a great time. Even the power outage was sort of fun! Thanks! Posted: 2:56 pm on September 19th
Cherwood writes: Hey Kimberly! It was great to see you at Junk Bonanza last week. Thanks for stopping by the Tomboy Tools booth. We had a blast meeting everyone, especially Joan Steffend. She's the one who broke my drill bit and gave us a good laugh. The famous broken bit will be framed along with Joan's autograph and our photo taken together. HA!

CottageElements writes: Hi, Kimberly! Fun seeing you again! Love the picture of the trunk table (and the box on top). How awesome are they? I don't remember seeing them at the Bonanza. I do remember the wonderful tins they had, though. Thanks for stopping by!
