Due to the Covid-19, The Olde Farmhouse Vintage Market has decided to postpone the market until further notice.  As much as I love our vintage market, the safety of our vendors and shoppers are most important.  Please keep following along on The Olde Farmhouse Facebook and Instagram pages for updates and a new date for the event.  I hope everyone is staying healthy and soon enough we will be able to enjoy a weekend of Junking together.  Take care and best wishes to each and every one of you!

The Olde Farmhouse Vintage Market is happening on May 30 and 31, 2020 at the Tradex in Abbotsford, BC.  There will be 100 local vendors with all things vintage, farmhouse, rustic and shabby chic.  You will be able to hunt for repurposed and upcycled treasures, collectibles, jewelry, home decor and handmade items.  It’s the perfect time to spruce up your outdoor patio and gardens with unique, one of a kind finds.  

We have some exciting news….on Saturday May 30th, the market will be open until 6pm!  A couple of hours longer than last year, which means more hours to shop!!  Remember that you can always buy a two day Junking Pass so that you can come and see the new treasures that vendors put out for day 2.  

Check out The Olde Farmhouse on Facebook and Instagram for updated market info and prizes leading up to the event.  You won’t want to miss out!

Are you ready to go Junking?!

The weekend is almost here, so I thought it would be a good time to give you some tips for Junking at The Olde Farmhouse.

1.  Gather your family & friends, it’s always fun to shop with someone!

2.  Bring re-usable shopping bags.  The Olde Farmhouse is all about re-using & re-cycling!  If you purchase something big and bulky, most vendors are able to keep your purchases at their booth until you are done shopping.  When I go junking, I like to snap pictures of the items I have bought and are leaving at a booth, so at the end of the day I can refresh my mind!  Scroll through your pictures and make sure you have picked up everything.

3.  Bring cash.  Most vendors are cash sales only.  Some do accept credit cards and there will be ATMs on site, just in case!  Admission fee is $7 for one day or $9 for two and children 12 and under are free.

4.  Day 2 junking is as great as the first!  Vendors usually restock and spotting that hidden treasure often happens on the second day!  You can buy your 2 day junking pass for $9.

5.  Bring a measuring tape & make notes of sizes and spaces at home that you are trying to find items for.  You can never be too prepared!

6.  The first 15 people in line on Saturday and 15 on Sunday get a special little gift from me!  A little reward for being so eager to get inside!!

7.  The market gets quite busy, so if you are bringing your little one along with you it may be a good idea to leave the strollers at home.  Strap that little munchkin to you and leave your hands free for grabbing those treasures!!  Sunday is typically the quieter day to shop, so if you prefer a less busy market experience that may be the day for you.

8.  If you have loaded up on treasures that are heavy, you can drive your vehicle closer and load it up at the large item pick up.  There are two pickup locations, the North end and the East side of the building.  Check your market map for the location.market shoppers

9.  All this junking can make you hungry!  Tradex has their cafe services on site for you, to keep you fed and hydrated!  If you decide you want to take a break off site and then come back to the market, just get your hand stamped on the way out.  The hand stamp also works for making those many trips to the car to unload your finds!

I hope these tips have helped you get prepared for this fun weekend!!  On behalf of all the vendors, thank you so much for coming out to the market and supporting our small businesses.
