Post Junk Festival

The Plucky Maidens Junk Fest was awesome.  I would definitely come back next year.  We had a good day and Keila also had an awesome time at the Edgefield.  Below are the things we bought that day.

We didn't get this at the Junk Fest but we found it at a flower shop that was closing down in downtown Montavilla.  We got this awesome ammunition box that supposedly came from the Army.  This piece belonged to the flower shop owner's brother.  Her brother mentioned to her that the Army threw away all the ammunition boxes because they have no use for them other than for transportation.  So he brought a couple boxes home and we ended up buying this one for $5.

We came home from the Junk Fest buying these rare vintage mason jars, the one made with the blue hue.  I love the bigger one a lot because we can never find them from all our adventures of mason jar hunting.   We got the small one for $7 and the bigger one for $8.50.  Love it.

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.

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.
