Marian/Miss Mustard Seed, Donna/Funky Junk Interiors, Breida/Breida with a B, Karen/The Graphics Fairy, Candace/The Love Tag Shoppe Is it really possible to fall in love so quickly [...]
One of my VERY favourite things about touring in the states are the quaint old historic towns. Give me the choice of a visit to Washington, DC or a local quiet downtown road loaded with little brick buildings, and it’s no contest. I’m a small town girl and LOVE quiet meandering streets loaded with history. [...]
I’m back from Lucketts. What. A. Trip! I’m still trying to adjust to the time change, but the trip was wonderful and the flights uneventful. There wasn’t time to blog while on the road, but if you were a follower of Funky Junk’s Facebook, you were bombarded with current instagrams as they transpired! While it’s [...]

Never fails. On flight day, I break out into a huge smile. To me, flights symbolize the promise of something amazing on the other side of the plane ride. The first flight was really quiet.

With every good pending trip, the big countdown is on! So this week will pretty much be a ‘getting ready for Lucketts‘ kinda week. I’ve dusted off my suitcases and ran into town today, stocking up on stuff I’ve run out of. (why does it take a trip to spur us on to restock?! I’ve [...]
“Where’s your store?” “Can I buy ______?” “Would you come to ____ to decorate for me?” “Can I come see your place? Is it open for tours?” As I brought my suitcases out of hiding to start packing for Luckett’s Vintage Market next week, I thought of these questions that frequently come my way. It’s [...]
