This week Kelly and I snuck out to the Junk Bonanza!  Since we weren't feeling well, we kept the trip short and sweet!  Of course, we managed to make a dent in our pocket books!  But... It's for a good cause!  It's for display pieces that help you see how our designs and products can be used!  {Sounds good, doesn't it?} 😀. Here are a few pics of quick trip!  It's always amazing to see what people find & bring to the event!!!!  I'm digging those pumpkin buckets big time!  Really love all the fall inspiration!  

Fall, wedding, FUN!
