Just a little Something

Just a little something to get you excited for our February Market. We've been rescuing, repurposing, and  prettying up a little cool junk. For the love of vintage, worn textures, numbers & letters, metal, and all things chippy! 

Save The Date!

Yay! Its almost time for our February Market. Our Junk pile is overflowing again. Lots of work to be done this month and so much junk to fill into the shop. So save the date. A perfect time to buy your sweetheart a little junk for the big V-Day!

I have to admit, our junk pile can never be piled high enough. We haven't been to an auction in a while and tonight's the night! We are totally pumped and ready to scope out some cool junk. With any luck will fill up our truck and add to the pile. Hope you have a great weekend! jojo

J is for Junk!

The day after Thanksgiving I dragged myself out of bed and met up with one of my best friends at 4:30AM. Why? Because of 1 item on sale that Black Friday morning. I must say I was a Black Friday virgin. Never had I woke up before the crack of dawn for any sale except a junk sale of course!

What on earth was this amazing item? A Cricut Expression 50% OFF. We waited in line for an hour in the cold. I have never seen such chaos. I was triumphant and let me just say my little cricut has opend so many repurposing doors. 

Finally this leads me to the picture. This is our newest piece of jewelry. A vinyl "J" sits upon an old optical lense and with a little touch of ephemera it makes a beautiful pendent. 

Oh how I love JUNK! Rumor has it that you can make this at our January Junk Club!

Hope you all have a fun ringing in 2011!

"Junk Sexy"

Yay! I'm actually blogging two days in a row! I know I can't believe it myself.

At our vintage junk markets you can always count on there being a selection of our Distressed Silver Necklaces. We have so much fun coming up with different sayings. One of our most popular necklaces is the "junk star". Well "junk star" meet the newest addition to the family "junk sexy". Its fun, its sassy, and well junk is sexy!  And yes, I am wearing one myself.   You can be "junk sexy" too!  Just click here and request junk sexy.

Tis The Season For Jolly Junk!

Finally, some pictures from our newly restored shop!! The past 2 months have been a blur.  November 1st changed our lives forever. The second the building was ours we began a month long labor of love. We did it all from tearing down walls, exposing brick, refinishing the hardwood floors, painting, updating the electric, plumbing and heating. Without the help of our family and friends we would never have been ready for our grand opening that was on Dec. 4th. 

We are so excited to have a place our junk can call home.  Located in our town of Earlham, Ia, starting in February our shop will be open 1 weekend a month.  All of the excitement and anticipation of our markets can now be enjoyed every month!!

Here are lots and lots of pictures for your viewing pleasure.  Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. Enjoy your families, good food, and cool junk this holiday season.

The Secrets Out!

We can't keep it in any longer!! Kasey and I are so excited to tell you that we are the proud new owners of an old building in Earlham. This is our biggest rescued find yet!  She needs a lot of demo and some paint, but its going to be beautiful.  Hidden above the drop ceiling is the original tin ceiling!!  Beneath layers of carpet is the original wood floors. Yes, there will be lots of before, during, and after pictures to come!! 

So, what does the future look like for Old Crow Farm? First, our shop name will be Rescued Junk by Old Crow Farm. Be looking for our new/old name. Next, our plan right now is to have monthly occasional sales, so there will be no more waiting months in between!  And the most important question when will we open? Get ready, get set for Jolly Junk! Yes, we will open our doors on December 4th for our Jolly Junk vintage market! 

For those of you who have missed our Junk Clubs for the past few months we will have a December club night that will be announced very soon! We are very excited that this will be the first Junk Club in our new building and even better you get to shop!!

We are so thankful for all of you who come to our markets and etsy shop. Junk is what we love and its so much fun to see all of your happy faces. We hope that you will come visit us on December 4th to celebrate the season and check out Rescued Junk by Old Crow Farm.
