Junk Festivities Duo

Again, this is the Plucky Maidens Junk Festival which was one of the coolest events that I went to in Portland this summer, located in the Edgefield in Troutdale.  There were many vendors that carry antique and vintage items.  I love this piece above and the typewriter below. 

Collage, a creative/artsy supply store located in the Alberta Arts District in NE Portland was one of the vendors in this Junk Festival.  They always carry cool items. 

Junk Festival

One of the most coolest places I went to in Portland this summer would have to be the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest located in the McMenamins Edgefield location in Troutdale, OR.  I love love love that there were many unique and cool items such as window frames, bottles, and various antique/old pieces.  One of my current obsessions are to find and collect old ball jars, the ones that are made with a blue hue like the one above.  I think these jars make a great piece for decor around your living space.  Price wise, it's really a hit or miss, many of the smaller items were actually not too expensive, the bigger pieces can get very pricey.  Most of the bottles were between $7-$10.  There were window frames with the pane still intact selling for $8 and there were items like old suitcases which go up to $70.  Plus there was a local Portlander which won the second season of HGTV's Design Star that showed up to this event,  it was Emilie Henderson.  I should've taken a picture with her.  Dang.

Some of the old signs were pretty cool.

 Love bicycles, this one was pretty expensive.

 More jars.

 So many letter signs that I wanted to buy.

I love typewriters, I just don't have any space for them in my house.

Part 2 coming soon.

Vintage Dresser & Bird

Cool metal bird decor at Anthropologie.

I love this dresser!  Unfortunately it cost about $2200.  The individual names for each shelf is unique and the dresser is made in England from the 1890's. 

The print work on the label is awesome.

Here are some more cool things I saw in Anthropologie.  I like the huge letters.

I like the "bagno" sign.  But it's $24 for that small sign.

Product Heaven

I've only recently started to appreciate the intelligent and eclectic decor of Anthropologie.  I found out that many of their decor are actually from flea markets from many parts of the world.

Though it's a women's store, their vintage/flea market inspired products is eye catching and makes you want to buy it.

I wouldn't mind re-doing my house with their style.
