Bobs Swap

Our dear friend Bob Saupan, of Johnbob, cool junk, recently discovered the world of crafting.  Now Bob has always been a crafter, I just don't think he understood the huge community of other crafters and the lengths that they go to share their ideas and creations with each other.  But Bob saw in a magazine about a ATC swap and was swept away with the idea.  So here is the deal that Bob has going on for 2nd Satudayz folks.

 At the last 2nd Satudayz he handed out bags with a bookcover, you can use any  old book board cover, but his was about the size of a readers digest condensed book, book cover.  about 5.5 inches x 8 inches.  and then just decorate, paint,sew,distress, stamp,draw, glue what ever to it.  We ask that you include some kind of homage to 2nd Satudayz by way of a 2, a pig or Satudayz on your cover.  The one above is what Bob came up with.  How cute is that?  Anyway bring them to the next 2nd Saturdayz on Sept 11th and we will arrange the swap, you will leave with some elses  piece of fab 2nd Sat art!  Let us know if you have any questions.  Have fun with this. 

july vendors

Just a bit more enticement for you head to 2nd Saturdayz July 10th.  Some of our regular vendors will be out of the building this Saturday, doing out of town shows, medical procedures, etc.  But we have some new vendors setting up and our lovely wonderful regulars.  Garden Party, Deb who had a wedding to flower up last month.  Windy and Gary Rushing will be back, they are funsters and bring great stuff.  Virginia, I love Virginia.  Last time she had these to die for french chairs, a pair no less.  She is always a surprise.  Speaking of surprise Patty Thompson will be back, love her and her look. Of course the John Bob cool junk will be there, decorating everything in sight.  I hear Bob has been a shopping fool as of late so I am so excited to see what they will have in the truck. Jill Holmgren, last time she had a screen door that made my heart skip a beat. Bev, who always has posies and tre cute display, Julia, beautiful fancy antique lady clothing and accouterments. Linda Olsen, artist and the soul of any good flea market. Along with Jerry and Dedra, they are truly some of the reasons why I love this business so much. Vintage in it's finest state. Nia is new this time, we are so happy to have her. Nia had a booth at funky junk sisters and at farm chicks both times everything was perfect and fabulous beyond beyond.  We are so excited to have her join up.  Everyone loves Sheryl, she makes and finds great stuff.  Cannot wait to see what she has this time.  I know that I have left some folks out, I am just doing this without a list of any kind, God forbid that I should have a list.  I am sure Janet will look this over and call to remind me of who I forgot. 

Janet and I have some surprises of our own to show you.  I am really looking forward to Saturday to share my day with you.

Junk Tribe Reunion

July 10th

July's market theme is "a family picnic".

I love picnics so much that I have been known to crash family reunion picnics at public parks.  They always seem so nice when you don't have to be really related to any of those people.  That is why a 2nd Satudayz picnic seems to be a fun theme, and you get to add the bonus of great shopping!  Better than any family reunion that I ever crashed.

We have some fun give aways for the early crowd and Bob is on decorating duty so you know it will be over the top.  

More info as it comes my way.  Lulu

Saturday Plan

This is the Saturday Plan.

Coffee, Craven Farm tailgate sale, Petite Retreat .

If the weather is decent Janet and I along with lots of great junk dealers will be selling our wares at the always charming Craven Farm Tail Gate sale.  This is the real deal, pre 60s junk in a field, heaven on a Saturday and then go to Petiet Retreat to visit with Deb and Bob.  They always are at the top of their game.  No detail goes unnoticed an imperfection is not found.  They are hard workers and do lovely design.  You will find useful items that you can use and will treasure for your home.

Go, shop, buy, my happy treasure hunting monkeys. 

Now that is a Saturday plan.

I am so proud

I was not at my best this Saturday, I am still sorta exhausted from doing Farm Chicks, we call it the Farm Chick hang over. (I just awoke from a 4 hour sunday afternoon nap).  I really worked all week to make this 2nd Saturdayz look and feel as good as the first one, only better, but I struggled a bit.  The day before instead of having the entire Friday to set up the UofW Architecture Grads were having a party in the space, so we could not get in until 9 pm friday nite, and then we opened the doors at 5am the next morning. Janet said that there were vendors there until 2am setting up and Janet slept in the cap of her truck. God bless her, she was up at 5. right after I arrived.

Geff had new direction signs made, and I was really pleased with how they turned out.  We still need advice on where to place them the day of the sale.  I did not hear that there was as much trouble finding us. But next month I need to get up to Mag park and place a sign 2 weeks before the sale reminding folks.  I did not do it this time.  And the traffic because it was the day of the main UofW graduation was beyond anything I could have imagined.  I am really amazed anyone was at our sale in the afternoon. Even with all that, all the vendors were lovely, good spirited and their booths looked great.  It really felt so happy and wonderful.  I am not a crier.  But when I looked around right before the doors opened Saturday morning I almost broke into tears.  I say it all the time, being with my tribe makes me happy.  Saturday made me happy.  Thank-you vendors of 2nd Saturdayz.  You guys really are the best of the best.  Next month is just around the corner and Janet and I are already working to making it amazing.

If you were a vendor or a customer please let me know if there is anything that we can do to make the experience better for you.  We do have some surprises up our sleeves for the coming year so stay tuned.  OX L

This Saturday

This is the funnest thing I have found in a long time.

A purple velvet clock, with mirrors.

Perfect fit for 2nd Saturdayz.  Which is full to the brim with vendors this time and they all have got great finds to haul in.

The fun starts at 8am for early buying and we will be in full sell mode until 3pm.

If you were over at farm chicks I know that you could use one more day of really interesting shopping and if you could not be there come and get the junk fever. 

We will be ready and waiting.  Mag park, sandpoint way, we got us made some dandy new signs and they will be pointing you in our direction.


See you Saturday.
