Save The Date!!

Well… it has been way too long since the last posting!!!  How quickly time goes by!  It has been a busy time since the last Olde Farmhouse Market, spending time with the family, taking a wonderful vacation, enjoying the Christmas season and getting settled into the new year!  A few weeks ago I went on my first junking trip of the year!  This was just the beginning of the trips that I have planned this year for scouting out unique farmhouse treasures!!  All to prepare for……

 The next Olde Farmhouse Vintage Market!!!

Saturday, September 28th, 2013

9:00am to 6:00pm at The Albion Fairgrounds in Maple Ridge

I think that the fall season will be a perfect time of year for us to gather together for yet another wonderful day of Junking!!!  Great vendors with amazing booths full of one of a kind items, and a perfect opportunity to spend time with family and friends!!  Mark the date on your calendars and get ready for another Olde Farmhouse Vintage Market!!!

Applications are now open for vendors!!  You can submit your application online, under the Vendor title on the main page.  Applications will be accepted until April 30th.

Market Day

July 4th, 2012 | Posted by Leah in Vintage Market - (2 Comments)

There are so many things to be said… it is hard to type the right words to express what we truly felt. The amount of excitement that was at the barn started during the setup and continued through to the take down!!

 

Our first “early bird” that came fully prepared to enjoy a full day of fun and shopping!!

 

It was amazing to have so many “junkers” all in one place!!!

 

All of the displays and items in each booth were beautiful!! We are in awe of each and every one of our vendors!! They all have a love for what they do and it showed!! Stephanie of Retrospect Photography did a beautiful job of capturing the entire day and you can see it all here!!

 

We wanted the market to be a fun filled day of “junking” with family and friends. Where you could find that special item you were looking, as well as the other 5 that you weren’t!!

 

A shout out to Renata, from Grow & Gather (Trice Farms).  She graciously lent us baskets of flowers to decorate around the outside of the buildings.  What a sweet and helpful lady!!  If you are in need of some flowers, she is the one to visit!! Thank you so much!!

 

 

 We want to say thank you to everyone for making our first market so AMAZING!!! We felt so blessed by all of our family and friends who helped out in everyway possible. We had wonderful, fun and friendly vendors that brought  the market all together. And THANK YOU to all the wonderful “junkers” that made the entire day what it was!!

Happy Junking

Aroka Vintage Grand Opening and Market

June 13th, 2012 | Posted by Leah in Junking Journey | Re Purpose Re Use | Vintage Market - (2 Comments)

Over the weekend, I (Barb) was able to treat myself to Aroka Vintage’s Grand Opening and Market, and what a wonderful treat it was!! Dawna’s store is in the cutest vintage home with a beautiful garden area, perfect for the market. It was chilly, but the rain held off so everyone was able to take their time and enjoy.

 

 

Each vendor had beautiful items and displays, there really was something there for everyone!! And to top it all off there was lemonade, popcorn and cotton candy!!! Yummy!!

 

 

 

For those who may not know, Aroka Vintage is located at 2231 Clarke Street in Port Moody. If you have not been there yet, you really need to find some time to drop in!!

Fabulous Friday

May 4th, 2012 | Posted by Leah in Projects | Re Purpose Re Use - (0 Comments)

We think Fabulous Fridays might be on going…and it makes sure we post at least once a week!! Sorry that we are still getting used to all of this, the blogging “bug” will catch us soon:)

Between “junking” and painting projects, our houses are starting to overflow. Leah’s mother-in-law arrived from Manitoba last week, with a car load full of treasures for the market!! The prairies have so many treasures and one of a kind finds,  we are happy that she chose to drive instead of fly. Sorry that we did not take a picture before we unloaded, way to excited!!

Speaking of pictures, we do have some of one of the projects we worked on this week.

Leah’s daughter helping her out, never to early to teach how to re purpose things!!

 

 

What do you think? Another project completed and checked off the list!!

Happy Junking
