Have you been to this sale?

This last weekend we ventured out to Rathdrum Idaho to

The Vintage Barn

Miss Rolane and all her JUNKTACULAR vendors really know how to put on a sale

The weather was fantstic, each of the 30+ vendors had great stuff

I could have come home with a truck load of stuff

there was so much to choose from

This sale is held about 40 miles out of Spokane and about 10 miles out of Coeur d’Alene Idaho.

Totally worth the weekend trip

 Check out Rolane’s website and blog

for more information on the next events happening at

The Vintage Barn

While you’re there check out her archived blogs about moving and restoring a barn on her property.

I think you’ll be seeing more of this story in some of your favorite publications.

Here are some other events happening in the Spokane area you might want to check out

The Funky Junk Antique Show

The Mad  Hatter Flea Market

I have been to both of these sales and they are JUNKTACULAR!

Don’t forget Junk Junket tickets are on sale for Barn House in Battle Ground Washington on July 31st.

This is going to be one of the best sales on the west side of the mountians this year. 

C’mon…………… Come Junk With Us!

What’s a Queen Without  A Chair?

For years we searched high and low for the perfect chair.

I can’t tell you how many folding chairs I have bought and left in the trash cans at the park were I used it.

It’s hard to find a good sturdy chair that is comfortable and easy to get out of.

Finally!

I found a chair that I love

Every time I took it to a flea market, a concert, or glamping people would stop and ask

“Where did you get that chair?”

So one of our over paid staff members says one day “let’s offer those to the Junk Queens”

Brilliant!

So here they are

The Ultimate Junk Queen Chair

Isn’t he just stinkin cute? 

Come Junk With Us dog Charlie

Sorry that was a shameless way for me to get pictures in with the cutest dog in the world and photos taken by what we think is the best photographer in the world.

Tres Birds Photography

Check out this JUNKTACULAR chair 

 It holds a whole pile of magazines

 It has all these great pockets to store your stuff in.

If you didn’t want to take a handbag or wallet you wouldn’t have to.

Just shove everything in the big zipper pockets and you’re good to go!

There is even a big deep pocket on the other side of all these pockets for hiding your valuables.

 Here’s the manufacture photos so you can see all it’s JUNKTACULAR features

Manufacturer’s specs

This really is the ultimate chair 

It’s a lightweight, portable folding chair with a sturdy aluminum frame that has an adjustable shoulder strap for easy carrying. If you prefer not to use the shoulder strap, the chair also has two sturdy webbing handles that come into view when the chair is folded. The extra-wide seat (19.5″) is made of durable 420D nylon doby with padding for extra comfort. The armrests are also padded for optimal comfort.  These are great features if you have a hard time getting out of folding chairs, or you just want something that is more comfortable that you need to sit in for long periods of time.

 On the side of the chair is a nylon doby accessories panel that includes a variety of pockets to hold such items as your cell phone, sunglasses, magazines, or a scorekeeper’s pad. It also includes an insulated bottled beverage pouch and a zippered security pocket to keep valuables out of plain view. A convenient side table folds out to hold food or drinks (up to 10 lbs.). Maximum weight capacity for the chair is 300 lbs. The Junk Queen Chair makes a perfect gift for those who enjoy flea markets, spectator sports, concerts, RVing, and glamping.

We have a few of these chairs left

They were a big hit at their last show appearance!

Once you leave a Farm Chicks Show you are guaranteed to be talking about it for months and months afterwards.

It’s a Junkers Religous Experience!
