It is going to be one heck of a Junk Bonanza! I was at Canterbury Park today. I stood in the center of the deserted tent and took a deep breath. In less than 48 hours the tent and buildings will be overflowing with the best antiques, architectural salvage, vintage items and good old junk you have ever seen in one venue!

We are sold out to vendors and continue to receive emails and calls for space. Press has been incredible and we anticipate big crowds! I have been fortunate to have the absolute best team to work with on the Bonanza and couldn't have done it without them.

I am tired, nervous, and a bit overwhelmed! I can't wait to greet folks in line as we open the gates at 8AM Thursday Sept 17 for Junk Bonanza 2009 Early Birds

Don't forget to stop by our blog party on Thursday at 1PM. I am excited to add former editor-in-chief of Country Living Nancy Soriano and editor-in-chief of Where Women Create Jo Packham to our guest list! Can't wait to tell you all about it next week!
Wish me luck!
Peace
Ki
