Now, I have so much to show and tell with the Junk Bonanza that it will be coming in a series of posts. Let's start with the event itself. More specifically, let's start with the "Early Bird" shoppers! Early birds pay a small fee and get in two hours before the general public. That means two hours with smaller crowds and less competition for the "good stuff." Here are the hard-core junkers who rise before dawn with caffeinated beverages in hand to storm the fortress.
At the Junk Bonanza, early birders also get a great gift bag full of goodies! This year's included the October 2008 edition of Country Home magazine, a 1-year subscription to Country Home magazine, a Nature Valley granola bar, Gorilla wood glue, Vintage Textile Soak, Thimbleberries hand care, Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood Preserver, and tons of coupons and announcements for upcoming events.
Hey Dr Amy:
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear your perspective on the health aspects of flea marketing. I know there are many. One thing that was neat, was that one of our girls was 65, and I just wish my mom had that kind of energy and zest for life that this gal had.
Maybe it keeps you young too.
My feet were complaining by day 3 but I ignored them ;) I hope to be adding you to my side bar today. and will probably be mentioning your blog. There's so much to talk about.
Margo
Thanks, Margo! I had so much fun meeting you! I am inspired by your ideas and your energy!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea you bring up about keeping people young. You might be on to something... :)

ReplyDeleteHi Dr. Amy--It was so good to meet you at the Junk Bonanza. Have you found a good use for your rolling medical tray? I think it's great that you're doing research on the benefits of junking. It might be interesting to talk to the spouse/family of a junker. They could probably give you some insight on how it junking affects us.
ReplyDeleteYours in healthy junking--Christy
Christy,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed meeting you as well! The rolling medical tray is currently in my office/guest room and being used as a nightstand. I'll post some photos soon! I love the idea of talking to the spouse/family members. I'm sure they would provide a whole new perspective! Thanks so much!
Amy
Oh man! I'm sorta jealous. I'd love to attend this event. Maybe someday. Can't wait to read about it from your perspective.
