I'd love to meet YOU in Minnesota!


Hope you are planning to attend 2010 Junk Bonanza on September 16, 17 and 18 in Shakopee, Minnesota. Along with the the incredible Bonanza team, I have been working hard to put together a spectacular sale showcasing the most talented vintage, antique & junk vendors in the Midwest! I heard airline fares to Minneapolis have been discounted in some parts of the country so if you were thinking of traveling, you might want to look into soon! You can also check out the “accommodations” link on the Junk Bonanza website for lodging options. Early Bird tickets are for sale on the website as well!

In addition to shopping for great junk, there are more opportunities for fun that just happen to coincide with the Junk Bonanza dates. I have provided links so you can learn more:

· The Bachman’s Fall Ideas House in Minneapolis will be open to the public during the Bonanza. The Bachman's Ideas house will take on a modern country look for Fall, a surprising mix of vintage and new for a harvest celebration! A side trip you won't want to miss. Get your tickets online as favorite times sell out.

· The Creative Connection Event will bring artisans and crafters together for classes, panel discussions and interaction during a 3-day event at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Special guest Ree Drummond, the “Pioneer Woman” blogger has recently been added as a speaker and will be available to sign copies of her book, The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Visit The Creative Connection website for all the important info.

· The Handmade Market at The Creative Connection event will be open to the public for boutique style shopping. Bus transportation will be available between the Junk Bonanza and The Creative Connection event. (Bus tickets will be sold by Creative Connection)

Who knew that Minnesota was the place to be in September? There will be an abundance of inspiration and creativity - what fun! I hope you will join me!
Cheers!

    Oh... I'm going to miss all the fun! I heard that you were still holding my spot next to Cammie for the Bonanza. I wish it would of worked out this year, but it's just not in the cards. Hope it all goes well! Sounds like you are working hard! I'll have to wait for all the pictures from the shoppers and vendors!

    To answer a few questions....yes, there will be vintage fabrics and linens, not sure about wool at the Bonanza. Be sure to check out the sales in Carver link in my new post (Jane's shop) Their sale is this week. And haven't any plans to visit Alaska, but I would love to!
    Cheers,
    Ki
