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!

Check out Mudd Lake Furniture's official website and also join their Facebook page! You are sure to be instantly inspired! Oh, and if you go to their website...you will see my arm in an orange sweater on the main page! ha!

This is definitely NOT your average junk show and definitely not something you will want to miss!

If you would like to tell your friends about the show, feel free to share the flier on your blog! Just be sure to link back and tell us if you do!

**disclaimer...I understand there are an excessive amount of exclamation points in this post...I do not apologize because I really can't convey to you how excited I am without them...and trust me...I held back, I could have used more!**

Beauty all around!!!

Mudd Lake welcomes Mckmama & Friends!
Everything was decorated in Fall decor. Absolutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

The leaves on this tree were so perfect they didn't even look real!

The coat rack that I purchased made out of old skiis! If you know my family history, you'll know this is very very special to me!

Three beautiful ladies that I met! Mela Kamin, Chris Ann, & Kelly! I "heart" them!
(PS...please forgive me if I get names wrong! There were approximately 50 people here, and I was there for 6 hours mingling, laughing, smiling!)

These are made out of old tin tiles. Mudd Lake has many different tin tile creations to choose from!

I don't even remember taking this picture!

One of the 3 buildings full of beautiful furniture and decor!

Bob, the owner, of Mudd Lake Furniture Co.

Go here to read his "story".

So kind to open up his shop to all of us ladies, and a few brave husbands.

Mckmama!

Mckmama listened so intently to all of us telling her our stories. A few of us...but definitely not me..ahem...may have been a bit star struck to begin with. However, Mckmama's awesome personality combined with just being real and down to earth...quickly got me...I mean them past that star stricken moment.

Some more beautiful women!

Becky and her beautiful son! There were several "baby wearers" in attendance. I never knew there were so many different types of baby slings out there!

Chris Ann, Becky, Marjorie.

A very brave husband! And cute baby Haakon!

A wonderful warm fire on this beautiful Frozen Tundra evening.

If I ever have a big foyer, I am totally doing this. A table on top of a table with book and picture frames. What an awesome idea!

More mingling and baby wearing.

Bob. Mckmama.

Christy in the turquoise sweater. Also an awesomly beautiful women! With 7 kids! We actually found out we lived in the same town at the same time back in 1997! Crazy right!?

Mckmama & I in our self portrait! Our blue eyes match!

Shannon and her husband. They are an absolutely gorgeous, nice, genuine couple! Can't wait to keep in touch!

Bob served us all brauts, sauer kraut, mini quiches, cheese & cracker, wine, pop...did I leave anything out? All very good! Not just your ordinary brauts & sauer kraut either. Locally and fresh made!
Just to the left of Bob is his interior designer! She does a beautiful job!

we are near the end..sniffle sniffle...NOOO...I don't want it to end.
A little silliness after 6 hours of mingling, hugging, eating, laughing, smiling.

Fun. Beautiful. Memory building. Forever friend making. Blog tip trading. Event of a lifetime!
