Junkstock 2012 ..... Peace, Love and Junk

If you haven't heard about Junkstock yet, let me fill you in.....this weekend was the first Junkstock of the year, where all you found was 6,000 people, a mountain of really good junk, music, peace and love...... the love of junk!

This was the line up early Friday morning, the line continued like this for another 4 hours, couldn't see the end of it for 4 hours!

There was some very cool junk.....

More cool junk......

Maddy and I had to take advantage of a photo opp by the Junkstock bus.....

Our picture perfect organizer, Sara......

 A few parking lot deals went on......

Welcome to everyone......

And even our friendly traffic police, who were not to happy that the traffic was backed up from Dodge Street to Center Street on both sides of the street, plus two parking lots!!

Some great cast iron curly q's....

Even had some visitors from Woodstock!

These girls really said... Peace, Love and Junk....

My husband and our neighbor Jeff, who kept me hydrated with ice tea from Starbucks everyday...

The help... my sister and daughter.....

All of the vendors from Junkstock on Sunday, we were all tired, happy, and sweaty....

 My niece and daughter loved the bus too....

Shelby was wondering how you get this party bus started?

 This was the most famous photo opp of the weekend, our booth was right by it, there were hundreds of pics taken with this peace sign over the weekend.....

So if you missed Junkstock, you really missed the boat, this was one of the funniest things we've done in a while.  For more pics go to facebook and look up Junkstock along with many vendors who have been posting pictures.  Try to make it next time, you won't be disappointed!!  Promise!

I'd also like to thank all the customers, old and new, who made the trip out to see us, all of my family and friends who help set up and load, and to Sara for all her hard work, kuddos to you girlfriend! 

Peave, Love , and Junk!

Two Days of Junking with Ki..... Might Be a Little Fun!!

Here are a few pics of places that we have been before.....

Getting down and dirty, digging the junk out of the grass....

Searching entire farms looking for the good stuff....

and finding it!!

Exploring houses that have been abandoned for decades....

I can't tell you where we are going, but I do know we will be having FUN, and lots of it!

P.S........ we'll take pics while we are gone...

Purple Is Perfect.....

Aren't they lovely?  I gave these to my sister yesterday.....

Pansies are always so striking....

Especially in this old galvanized milk separator bowl.....

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I was able to see all of my children yesterday and spent the day with them in the glorious weather, seen my mother too, so it was a good day!

Enjoy the flowers!

There's a New Addition at the Milkhouse!!

We had ladies day out this past Wednesday, so we headed down to The Milkhouse to see the new addition...

Here it is, a very tall, handsome looking windmill, with the blades twirling in the wind with all the squeaks, and creeks that you would have heard years ago when it was a hard working windmill and a staple of the farm.

And here is the bonus!  Look at the great shadow that it casts upon the lawn right in front of the shop, could it be more perfect?  Makes you want to lay down in the grass and dream of childhood days, laying there watching the clouds pass by....

There is a nice springy welcome as you enter....

Great finds lay ahead for the shoppers to find.....

Cheri took the best shopper picture ever, she is a natural!

Paula, a friend of mine whom I drag around with me on junking trips, and Connie the proprietor of The Milkhouse.....

One of my favorite people.....

Two of my best friends.... what more could you ask for?

The address is 54335 843 Road

My First Junk Truck Sale.....

Here she is, the old beauty, getting ready to head to her new home.....

We made it to our destination, even the sheriff had to come over and check it out!

It took a little analyzing....

 A little innovation.....

A little patience....

Some machine power.....



There she is in her new home, getting ready for her second life, greeting all of the customers at Holly's new shop called Cottonwood Lane in Ponca, Nebraska.  Make sure and stop by and check out the new shop as well as the old pickup truck!

Hauling Lessons 101

 There is just a few feet sticking out the back, that shouldn't hurt anything?  ....

And if you don't have a red flag just try the red cinch strap instead.....

You may have to use the ENTIRE length of the car, even the dash, so be prepared, also, passengers in the thrid seat may get a few slivers, but they can be removed easily, so not to worry.  Passengers in the second, you have doors, what a great deal for you!  I guess this just goes to show you...... "Where there's a will, there's a way!
