Today I loaded in my booth and got it set up for Junk Bonanza. The show is Friday and Saturday and I could not be more exited. It was a wet load in with a super rainy day. I had to rent a uhaul. I thought I could haul it all in my Subaru, but I evidently was delusional on that idea.
I started my day by locking myself IN my uhaul when I was unloading it. It is easier to do this than you think! Luckily there were lots of people loading and I banged on the back windows until I got the attention of my friend Sue. Thank goodness for the rescue!Enough of that silliness and on to the booth. This was the first time I decided to switch it up and do a HALLOWEEN themed booth. The timing is right and I am hoping there are lots of people that will get excited seeing a booth like this. Here it is. I really, really love how it turned out. I'm just gonna be picture heavy with this post. WARNING LOTS OF PHOTOS...but in a good way :)
I have had it in the back of my head to do a Halloween booth for the past year. I have been collecting with that in mind at estate sales. I love all the garden owls. I was tempted to keep them all and decorate my front porch with them.
The doll parts in the old aquariums...man, I love those.
I think my witch friend approves of this spooky booth.
It is kind of hard to see in this photo, but I added rat decals to my mirrors that I am selling. I have about 4 mirrors and each has a rat or rats coming out of the corners.
I had to add HAUNTED HOUSE to this vintage house for sale sign.
So fun. I can't wait. Show details. October 14 and 15th...Friday and Saturday. Friday 8-5. Early buying from 8-10 (you may have had to already buy tickets...check the website at Junk Bonanza). Regular admission $10 at 10 a.m. Saturday 9-5 $10. Clark County Event Center, Ridgefield, WA. Just a short drive north on I-5...easy...right off the freeway!
Hope to see you there!
You are going to do so well!! It's just total Halloween perfection. I want to jump on that plane and see it in person. Halloween hugs!!

I still can't believe you locked yourself IN your truck! That's is hilarious. Your booth is amazing and I love how you have added a Halloween twist to everything like the mirrors and the FOR SALE sign.
I google mapped it and it's a 29 hour drive. So, I better leave NOW! :)

Looks like some fabulous treasures - I hope you sell out!
I did buy that same Halloween "cooky cutters" set a couple of months ago here in TX. It is on display with my handmade Halloween projects.

I would be in heaven in your booth! I get depressed when Halloween is over. I am thrilled in August when Halloween & fall items appear in the stores. But they can't touch VINTAGE Halloween. THANKS, Mary in Dallas

I'm late looking on your blog but OMG! I can never get enough looking at your posts! Your picture of you locked in the van is such a crack up and I had no idea you could do that! Hope you did well and had fun :-)
Love seeing all the pics!

Did you sell it all?! If not, hope you will offer some on Etsy?! I live in Va and have always been into Halloween, it's a huge deal in our WW1 neighborhood! Let us know if you decide to put any up! Fabulous job with the booth, you always have the best ideas!

My eyes! My eyes! I can't believe all this wonderful vintage Halloween goodness was all in one spot this weekend! I think you are such a generous person to share your treasures with the world. I would have a very hard time letting any of it go. Great job merchandising too! How could anyone not stop in your booth?!?!?
