"Flea Market Under Glass"...Name That Flea!

Tulips and Gerbs will put a "spring" in your step even if you're experiencing inclement weather.

I'm a big fan of old flashlights and these three are awesome!

First I took the tops off. They're cool pieces of junk all on their own.

Flaslights are not water tight so don't try filling them with water. You could tackle the water issue several different ways. I taped some plastic on the inside with Gorilla tape and then filled the flashlight handle with floral foam. You could also probably find a narrow glass cylinder at a craft store and slip inside.

Using some twine I attached the tops to the flashingligts for some bling effect. I also duded them up with some springs, keys, and other miscellaneous doo-hickies! It's all in the doo-hickies!

Yep...it sure is!

Time for flower power.  I chose Tulips, Gerbs, Cherry Blossoms (love!), and twigs.

Stick the stems right in the floral foam.

Cover the unsightly foam with moss or a moss alternative.

Enjoy as a single....

Or in a grouping!

Now it's time to NAME THAT FLEA!! Please??

For more info on "Flea Market Under Glass" go to www.junkmarketstyleevents.com.

The introduction of a new term comes first! While sitting in my house enjoying some beautiul Minnesota "white out" weather conditions I crafted some little flashlight vases for the upcoming Otten Bros. "Flea Market Under Glass" with JUNKMARKET Style. Some of these ideas will be featured on the site while others will only be seen at the show. While at the show look for signs that feature our little mascot flea and read "Flea Ideas". This, of course is a play on words...one of my favorite games! Free ideas for flea market finds with JUNKMARKET Style!

Now comes the favor. Our little flea, at long last has been properly adopted and resides happily under the cloche in our logo, but sadly has no name. Poor little  flea! I am asking for all of you to help NAME THAT FLEA!!! Right now I'm thinking "Frosty the Flea" seems appropriate, but I am confident spring will come. Please join in the fun and put in a plug for your name of choice in the comment section under this post. We only have a few days... so act fast if you want your voice to be heard!

If we get (and I hope we do) enough submissions I'll pick my favorite 3 and put it up for a one day vote by the  JMS members.

Help!!!! NAME THAT FLEA!!!!

Now for the "Flea Ideas" project!

EmmasNookandGranny writes: Love the flashlight vases! Anxious to see your other flea-ideas. Would those be flea-deas or flideas?

Fleasa is my suggestion for the mascot name. I like Flewsy, too.

1. Fritz (things go on the fritz, become junk, only to
be transformed into treasures...)

2. Floy (as in "boy oh boy!" when some good junk is found)

3. Glee the Flea (glee! as in junker heaven!)

Groan....
Actually, I like Rusty the best from FunkyJunk Donna and Jim Posted: 10:14 am on February 21st

Funky_Junk_Donna writes: Ohhh the flashlight idea is adorable!

As for the flea? I'll give it more thought and come back if I get a brainstorm. But thus far, I think Rusty is pretty darn perfectly junkafiable. :)


Ok... got one. FleaStyle. :)
