Favorite activity besides junking:
hunting for vintage fabric and sewing
Would save if the workshop were on fire:
My 1960s Viking Sewing Machine. I’d have to throw it out the window, though, because it’s too heavy to run down the stairs with.
You knew you were a junker when:
I had to move my sewing room/studio three times into larger spaces and finally build an addition to the garage to house all of my “treasures.”
Three words that describe you:
nostalgic, creative, obsessive
Three words that describe your product:
that’s so cute
If you couldn’t be a junker, you’d be:
I’m more of a designer than a junker but it gives me the best of both worlds.
You couldn’t stand to sell it once you found it:
I believe this is a frequent problem with most junkers! It either ends up at my house, or priced so high that it will only go to the person who loves it as much as I do.
We know where there will be a building full of them, starting Sept. 13!
Can’t wait to see you at the Bonanza!

I adore Maria’s creations and purchased a jacket for my granddaughter two years ago; so charming and well-made!
I can’t wait to see her fun creations!
