Happy New Year! January 4-6 Sales
Some shops (and shoppers) are taking a break this month. For the rest of us, there are several great shops waiting with new finds and/or sale items. Try Kathie’s Finds and Patina General in Buffalo which are both open today, Saturday, from 9 to 5. On Sunday Kathie’s Finds is open 11 to 4 and Patina General is open 12 to 5. This and That, also in Buffalo, is open 9 to 6 today and 10 to 5 Sunday. In Minneapolis, E’s Emporium is open noon to 6 today and noon to 4 Sunday.
Katherine took off for a new adventure yesterday so her posts will be very occasional this year. I hope to keep you posted on dates, times, offerings, and fun new shops. Happy Saling! -Sue

New Find: The Rusty Truck in Mayer, MN
Always on the look out for more occasional sales with great vintage/upcycled/ refurbished goods, I was happy to visit The Rusty Truck in Mayer for the first time yesterday.
The vibe is decidedly country fun (it’s in a barn, after all), with a few small furniture items that have been reupholstered in chic 70s fabrics. Here’s a small taste:
For the details on The Rusty Truck, see the sale directory.

Elements of Style: Fall Centerpieces
Without any occasional sales on the docket this week, there are no Top Picks. Thus an opportunity to look more closely at occasional sale inspiration that we’ve seen recently.
At JunkMarket Under Cover, event founder Sue Whitney did a lovely job of setting an autumn table, which started me thinking, what other variations on the theme are out there?
{Sue Whitney sets the table at October’s JunkMarket Under Cover}
{White gourds…why not?}
{A departure from gourds and leaves, feathers from molting birds are another natural sign of autumn}
{Clever and enviro-friendly, incorporating a vintage globe is an idea I suspect occasional salers will like.}
