HELP!!

(Junk Hunk)

Ok, everybody get your thinking caps on! JoJo needs a nickname, of course junk style ASAP. Think of this as a contest. There is a little gift certificate involved for the person who comes up with the name chosen. Kasey is the Junk Hunk, but what about me?? This is very important and hopefully we will be able to share with all of you soon why it is that I need one. Thanks you guys!! Jolly Junking, jojo

The Pretty Little Houses

Right around this time last year I fell in love with these little vintage holiday houses. Seriously, I think they are so sweet. Produced in Germany, Japan, and Italy too. Made of cardboard they stole my heart! The junk hunk wasn't as excited as I, but ya know. Many of you spotted them at our Jolly Junk sale last year and started your own mini villages. I have been crazily buying more of these little paper houses because I just can't get enough. Be sure to keep your eye open for these paper perfections at Jolly Junk!

I can't wait for Saturday aka Junk Day. I have my eye on a sweet sale...shhh! But, before that day comes I will be nurse to my junk hunk as he is getting all 4 of his wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow. Poor thing! I'm hoping to get more Etsy work done tomorrow while he's taking it easy. Thats what's happening at your Old Crow. Jolly Junking and Stay Healthy!! jojo

Oh Christmas Tree

Jolly, merry, and bright we are in full Christmas mode getting ready for Jolly Junk. I know Halloween hasn't even made its appearance yet, but the funky junky elves are hard at work! We created this whimsical winter tree on Saturday afternoon. The idea just popped in my head and within the hour our whimsy winter tree was born! I love those "ah ha" moments! Of course I couldn't wait to share:)

I must confess that I have broken the cardinal rule of blogging. I forgot to take pictures of my junk collection from Saturday. Shame on me! Sometimes I am so bad about that. It was quality over quantity. There was a yummy pie safe that had to come home with me, a white shabby metal table, some ephemera, old brass jingle bells, two cute tarnished ringy dingy service bells, and some other odds and ends.

Until next time, have a Happy Halloween and Jolly junking!! jojo

Need a Junk Fix

I am in need of a major junk fix!! I've been doing a little junking here and there, but I am craving a good farm auction!! It has been a little while and now that are sale is over watch out jojo is ready to JUNK!! I have found a sale for Saturday and I am super excited. Hopefully I will come home with a big load!! Keep your fingers crossed for some good pictures.

On another note, last night we attend JB Knackers Entrepreneur Night as part of the panel. It was an awesome evening of shopping, eating, and connecting with others. I am hoping another evening will be in the works, as I think there is so much information to share and one great evening left us wanting more.

Things at the farm are crazy as always. We are gearing up for our 2nd Annual Jolly Junk event on Dec. 5th. Gather your family and friends and please join us in starting a new holiday junking tradition!

Take care, stay healthy, and Jolly Junking!! jojo

Harvest Market 09'

We are so blessed to have the best customers ever!! When I woke up Saturday morning I could see snowflakes falling from the glow of the porch light. I didn't think much of it at the time, but when I headed outside to get last minute sale stuff done I realized that it was sticking to the ground and everything had a fluffy coat of fresh snow on it. At which point I was hoping, really hoping, that the element of snow would just make our market that much more fun and memorable and it was!!

Kasey and I greeted all of our hardcore junkers at 9:00 and the crazy crow madness began. After all of our hard work it is so much fun and so rewarding to see all of you having fun and finding that little something that you can't live without.

Many of you asked if we would be having our Jolly Junk Market this December and the answer is YES!! Your funky junky elves are reporting in and can hardly wait to create some fun holiday junk!

Again thank you to all of our awesome customers and to our family and closest friends that helped us with our Harvest Market. Happy Junking jojo

Old Crow & DIY Magazine!

We are sooo excited! DIY Magazine asked yours truly to create a project for their Shopgirl article. So, Kasey and I got to be in a photo shoot with our project and we made it to the Winter Issue. Scheduled to be on newsstands any day. Here is a sneak peak at the cover and our article. We created an ice bucket stand using a galvanized bucket, pipe, and old bicycle gears. Oh how we love our industrial look. Enjoy and Happy Junking! jojo

The Pumpkins...

The pumpkins were hung by the porch with care! One of the many things we do around Old Crow to get ready for our Harvest Junk Market is setting the atmosphere. We are busy collecting the perfect pumpkins to fill our hanging buckets that line our front porch. Junkie our scarecrow is getting kind of lonely so we need to find him the perfect pumpkin friends. We always line our old vintage feeders full of straw and pumpkins too. I am so happy to say that we have collected many of those feeders this summer, so you can have your pick of many!! We will be headed to the fields soon to gather our corn shocks and to the timber to find those funky cool green hedge apples. I love those thingys. When you arrive on market day, October 10th & 11th(just incase you forgot), our rescued treasures will be overflowing with harvested goodies. Some warm apple cider too, that sounds good! I can't wait. We missed all of you this summer and our excited to say hello. Have a great Fall day and Happy junking!! jojo
