About Ken O’Brien – “Who Knew?”

Who Knew is Ken’s side biz. It stemmed from people he would work with that didn’t really know or understand his creative background: “Who knew you could do that?” “Who knew you knew how to do that?” Who knew you…” He loves it! He lives it! It’s where he lives in a world that is visual, creative, design driven and sheer bliss. It is where anyone that needs anything creative “By Ken”, does. He stages, decorates, consults, wardrobes, shops, organizes, hosts, curates, promotes, reps, makes jewelry, makes lamps, creates, markets and is truly creative force.

When Ken’s not at his day job, he is at Mudd Lake Furniture doing staging/visuals, organizing and/or curating art events, working with Sue Whitney side by side at the “Junk Market/Flea Market Under Glass” creating amazing things.

Junk Market Style Approved Vendor Show!

We are headed to Minnesota! Remember when I went to Mudd Lake? You can also read about my first trip here. Mudd Lake Furniture is this completely awesome antique furniture store which is owned and ran by Bob Kratch, ex-NFL player! Well...I literally dreamt of living in that store for a good month after that trip...and since I just bought a new house triple the size of my last house...daydreams of returning soon have been in my mind. Not that I needed a reason...but now I have an awesome reason! Mudd Lake is holding a "Junk in the Trunk" show July 22nd through 24th! This event is "Junk Market Style" approved. What does being Junk Market Approved mean?? Well..it means that this junk vendor show is going to be phenomenol and kinda big deal in the world of antiques and "junk". Not only am I going to be attending and shopping...we...J & J Inspirations...will be selling our aprons there!
