Giveaway!

Happy Saturday!

I think you all know I am a BIG fan of the Junk Bonanza - really the best flea market/vintage sale in the midwest. Ki Nassauer puts on a wonderful show that brings together the best vendors for a great three day event! I was fortunate to be involved with this event the last two years and am disappointed that I will not be there this year - traveling back to the midwest this fall is just not in cards for me - boo!

However, that doesn't mean YOU can't go! Ki has generously allowed me to giveaway an awesome Junk Bonanza package to one lucky Forever*Cottage reader!

The giveaway includes:

* 2 VIP tickets, which allow for admission all three days of the event, including the Early Bird on opening day, two hours before the show opens to the general public.

* A Junk Bonanza tote

* A Junk hat from the Junk Revolution store

and

* A copy of the latest Flea Market Style magazine, rolling off the press around the end of August!

The annual Junk Bonanza brings together more than 130 juried vendors of select vintage treasures, junk and antiques! This year's event, Sept. 15-17, returns to Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minn.

To enter this giveaway, please leave me a comment telling me about something fun you are doing this weekend.....cause I am nosy that way! I will choose a winner on Monday, so come on back!

I would love to bring my Iowa sis to this. She would really enjoy it. Our weekend "fun" is trimming out our newly remodeled basement. I know I could find some great treasures for there at the junk fest!

I love Junk Bonanza and have been waiting for it all year! But for this weekend, I am camping on an island in Lake Superior with my family. I am actually typing this under the cover of my sleeping bag as it's supposed to be a tech-free trip ;) Don't tell!

Hi Jill! I have loved following your blog and had no idea I had a little "junk" in me! We moved to MN from Chicago and I taught Sunday school with Heidi last year. We rode our bikes to the dock yesterday and enjoyed the beautiful weather and the crisp smell of the lake...with fall looming in the background. Would love to bring my junk-loving friend to the bonanza!

What a wonderful treat if I would be fortunate enough to win this package. I spent time this weekend with my daughter and her twin daughters strolling through Linden Hills. The girls enjoyed the book store and watching the chickens and cats roaming down the bookshelf aisles. Thanks for sharing your blog life with all of us. Lyndia

The gifts can be customized as per an event or celebration. Personalizing the gifts too is important and a whole range of new items like card holders and purses in the best quality are the best way to extend the team spirit and collaboration.
