It is that time again! I eat, sleep and live by all things Junk Bonanza. I keep thinking it should get easier since we are going on our 7th year, but it is like planning a brand new event every year. I am darn lucky to have a great team and brilliant vendors and artisans on board. Can't wait to see everyone!<br />

Yay! The 2012 Winter FMS Cover is printing! It took an extraordinary and talented team to make it happen and I am grateful to all. Look for Winter FMS on newsstands at the end of August or maybe even sooner at small retailers. No time to rest, because we are already working on the Spring 2013 issue along with our new title, Weddings Flea Market Style.

I am a lucky girl! I get to travel to some of the best fleas and antique shows in the Country. This month I made the trek to Denver Colorado to hang out and sign mags at <a href="http://www.oldgloryantiquesinc.com/fair.html"><b>Old Glory Antiques Fair</b></a> produced by Holly Kuhn. It is an amazing show with some of the best vendors in the Midwest.<br />

I listed Old Glory Antiques as one of my <i>must see someday</i> <i>shops</i>. Well, I am heading their way on June 15 & 16. Not only do I get to visit the shop, <a href="http://oldgloryantiquesfair.tumblr.com/">Old Glory</a> is having their Annual Fair in Littleton Colorado that hosts more than 70 vendors! I will be signing Flea Market Style magazines alongside my friend Jo Packham from Where Women Create and hanging out with a super fun group of folks amongst some amazing vintage decor and antiques.<br />

Heading to South Dakota this week to renew and refresh. I have been spending way too much time at my desk looking at a computer screen and need a junking fix!<br />

My good friend Cammie AKA Midwest Junker Extraordinaire will be escorting me to a few of the places I have been dying to visit after drooling over pics. I am also hoping to get back to visit some of my old favorite junk haunts.<br />

If you know me, you know I have this obsession with oil paintings. Specifically portraits of men and women. I recently saw these two paintings at Melrose Trading Post, a great little weekly flea just down the street from my house. Which one do you think I brought home to hang with my collection?<br />
<br />

Five bucks and it was mine! Her name is Bertha and she was painted by Mary Rex in 1958. Even though she looks a tad stern, I believe she was a fun gal!<br />

<span style="font-size: 100%;">I am always relieved when the cover is put to bed! It is pretty stressful. Lots to choose from and probably the most important part of the process for a newsstand publication. The Spring issue should hit the stands mid to late February. I know you will love it. I do. I have seen every inch of every page a million times and it never gets old. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 100%;">We are hard at it on the Fall issue but thought I would take just a moment to express my gratitude to the incredible team that puts every issue together and the readers that allow us to keep doing it. Thank you!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
I believe there is a plan and purpose to one's life. Not sure what mine might be, but I will continue to search in the New Year. One of my favorite sayings is <i>The more you know, the more you know you don't know</i>. It is true.<br />
<br />
Life is grand and I plan not to waste a minute. Wishing you a wonderful 2012 and thank you for your support and friendship.<br />

A reader and fellow junker recommended Cowboy Junction in Lecanto Florida and I decided it was worth some research since Lecanto is an easy drive from my sister <a href="http://remixedstitches.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #3333ff;">Karla's</span></a> home in Ocala FL. When searching the internet I realized the flea doesn't seem to have an official website or facebook so I had to pick up tips and info from folks blogs and comments. Good thing I found out it is only on Tuesdays and shuts down in the summer.<br /></span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OS_JXLu1huM/TtRjWUKH02I/AAAAAAAADoQ/1ZMIDhJmVbg/s1600/2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680274265040474978" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OS_JXLu1huM/TtRjWUKH02I/AAAAAAAADoQ/1ZMIDhJmVbg/s400/2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">My </span><span style="font-size: 130%;">sis and and I headed out early on a foggy Tuesday morning in November to get our Flea fix. Since we weren't exactly sure where we were going, we stopped at the local mini mart in Lecanto for directions. We got there just as most vendors were unloading their trailers and trucks.<br /></span></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-akrxMh-etf4/TtRjWZf6SJI/AAAAAAAADoI/sEX6BBiBsMU/s1600/Picnik%2Bcollage.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680274266474039442" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-akrxMh-etf4/TtRjWZf6SJI/AAAAAAAADoI/sEX6BBiBsMU/s400/Picnik%2Bcollage.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: courier new;">We were excited to see the eclectic mix of antiques, vintage and garage sale leftovers. Something for everyone! It was obvious some vendors were there to buy as they left their booths unmanned to do some shopping.<br /></span></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rSU-m7dxmwc/TtRjWScJZlI/AAAAAAAADog/7TLAvipN4SA/s1600/Picnik%2Bcollage1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680274264579204690" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rSU-m7dxmwc/TtRjWScJZlI/AAAAAAAADog/7TLAvipN4SA/s400/Picnik%2Bcollage1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: courier new;">The pace was relaxed and not as frantic as most fleas. It did feel like shoppers were on vacation or enjoying a morning in the warm sunshine. I picked up a couple small items that would fit in my carry-on including the cheerful glass clown cocktail stir sticks above</span></span>.<br />

Yummy, but be sure to split, portions are huge! Now I wouldn't recommend driving all day to visit Cowboy Junction, but if you are in the area you may just find a treasure or two!
