Dresden JUNK-Shun Warehouse

4/18/2011

God has blessed us with so many venues to sell our treasures that we were able to turn our original shop in Trinway into a warehouse.  It's the place we drop all of our "finds" from various auctions while waiting on a chance to unpack, sort and price before we take them to one of our spaces at Social Supper  in Dresden, OH or Finder's Keepers in Heath, OH or Berlin Village Antique Mall in Berlin, OH. 

If we're working at the Warehouse you are ALWAYS welcome to stop and "poke" around!  Please keep in mind..it's not pretty:)  Think AMERICAN PICKERS not pretty!!  LOL...boxes piled to the ceiling waiting on us to unpack.  Lots of treasures in those boxes but if you hate clutter...you are going to be overwhelmed and should visit one of our booths:)  Pictures of the Booths and the Warehouse on our Booth Photo Page.

Seriously not kidding about the boxes piled sky high!!!

Picture

Claustrophobics will NOT want to shop here:)

Picture

See the desk?  Keep wondering when this pile of books is going to bury us while we're working.

You probably think we've lost our marbles (or we're candidates for the Hoarders Show) for sharing these photos of our work space/warehouse with you...(well...come to think of it...somewhere in one of these boxes...I bought a jar of marbles...now which box did I see those in...)...eventually it all does go back out the door to sell...just seems  we can buy it faster than we can sort it!!  LOL  Anyway...the real reason for sharing these tell all photos? ... to warn you in advance before you open the door at the Dresden JUNK-Shun Warehouse:)

Last Flea Market ... #5 ... Webster Westside, FL

4/6/2011

Last one was the best one:)  Beautiful blue skies, warm temps and cooling breezes...who could ask for anything more!  Met so many nice people.  Even ran into some of our auction friends from Ohio! 

Fun sisters on a buying trip for her shop, Country Roads in Crossnore NC..couldn't believe it...we go there every summer over the 4th for a family reunion!  She made a huge dent in our inventory:)  They have the nicest thrift shop in Crossnore that supports a local school for underprivileged children.  Plan on stopping in to see her shop this year when we go down to the Crossnore thrift shop...she even asked us to bring some more stuff!

Another young lady who has an antique booth in FL did some serious shopping with us too.  She went home with our "half a violin case" that I was going to use for a wall grouping...she's going to use it as a prop...glad someone else could appreciate it!  The guys thought I was nuts when I bought it:)  The name of her business is "High Falootin Junk"...how cute it that?  You'll have to check out her website:  www.highfalootinjunk.com

Couldn't convince anyone they needed our Tecumseh Indian Sign...it's coming home.  Julie and Shellie will be glad it is.

The couple that set up beside us have been livin' our dream for 14 years.  They live in their 5th wheel full time, winter in Florida/summer in Ohio.  Their big old truck has over 400,000 miles on it and still going.  She comes to Zanesville once a month when they are in Ohio and eats at Papa Chucks with her button club!!   <sigh>...I wanna be just like 'em when we grow up!

AND the really good part of all this was we sold enough stuff we could get our clothes in to come home...really worried about that for a few days.  Can't believe how junk breeds and multiplies when it's locked up at night:)

Flea Market #4 ... Markets of Marion ... Belleview, FL

4/3/2011

0 Comments

 
Another beautiful day...we've been so blessed with great weather!  Very foggy this morning...we missed our turn:)  Ms. GPS took care of us though!   Markets of Marion has a special outdoor spot for "garage sale" type vendors.  Great spot...except for the port-i-potty RIGHT BESIDE us!  Got a little "fragrant" in the afternoon:)

Met so many interesting people today.  One woman we met is living the dream!!! She winters in FL...has a camper in a campground near Ocala and rents a permanent booth in the market to sell her jewelry.  Heads to the Smokey Mountains for the summer and fall.  Has another permanent camper right "on the river" there and sells her jewelry at several flea markets in that area!  My idea of the perfect set up!!

Here are some pics of our booth set up today:


Picture

See how close we were to the potty??!

Picture

You can see how foggy it was in this photo...

Picture

Hard to see...but in the back of that mini-van is the MR. taking a nap:)  He's been a bit under the weather the past couple of days.

Picture

Next several photos are just some random shots of our displays...

Picture

The McGuffy Reader sold today as well as 4 of the red transfer ware bowls.  The bowls were purchased by a Tri-Valley Alumni from 1970!!  Last name Baum...from Adamsville...maybe you know her! 
Small, small world as they say at WDW:)

Picture

Shellie and Julie...the sign is still with us!!! 
Sold several Longaberger baskets today.

Picture

See that little religious figure laying down?  I had it marked as Jesus and a nice young man informed me I had it marked wrong!  It was really St. Jude..."patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes".  Trouble was, by the time I got around to changing the tag, I couldn't remember what he had said so I changed it to Saint Joseph!  Good thing he walked by again so I could ask him:)  St. Jude has 3 tags on him...who ever buys him and peels of the tags is going to think I'm a lost cause!!  LOL!

Wonderful weather and great customers gave us our BEST sales of the trip!  Blue skies were in abundance:)  Sharing a few pics of our spot.  Thrilled that MOST of the Aqua display sold right away (before I could get a picture) and had to change it to yellow and black:)
Picture

Display started out beachy and aqua...sold most of it before I could get a picture:)

Picture

Shellie...the Indian Head sign is still here:)

Picture

Hard to see but that black thing is "HALF" of a vioin case...Dave thought I was nuts when I bought it but think it would look fabulous in a wall vignette!  One of a kind...how many people do you know with half a violin case on their wall:)????

Picture

The Mr. was in charge of sales on one side of the sign...the Mrs. on the other:)

Picture

Space was 30 feet long!  LOVED all the room to spread out.

Picture

CUSTOMERS:)...they always make our day!

Picture

1.00 area...lots of great stuff...movin it out to make room for new!

One thing about this area...they aren't hurting for thrift stores!  We LOVE it!  Tuesday was thrift shopping day:)  Here's a few pics of our day...
Picture

Dad and Dave...my partners in crime!!

Picture

Scored at shop #1!

Picture

On to #2!  Forgot to get a picture of our score here but it included a ton of summer clothes and an old pearl necklace...which I broke....now I gotta think of an idea for old pearls:)

Picture

Lunch at a charming restaurant called the "FRONT PORCH".  Started by a family with 8 kids and still going many years later.  Fabulous Pies...well at least that's what the guys said:)  No sugar till Easter for me!

Picture

Lunch was served on the screened in porch with a huge bullfrog singing to us in the outside garden:)

Picture

Thrift Store #3...pictures and smalls.
