See this beautiful necklace? Junk Bonanza artisan, Tamara from Sheer Addiction has offered this and so much more in her Junk Bonanza booth for the past three years.
Tamara started making jewelry from old brass parts for family members, after a store saw the pieces, a business was born! Tamara studied how to work with cold joints in Mexico and has been designing for last 10 years.
I stopped by Tamara’s booth this morning. Her pieces are gorgeous and include components of found objects from France, New York, Belgium and Italy!
Tamara designs and sells her line full time. If you are not able to come to the Junk Bonanza, you can visit her website.
Now for the BEST news…..Tamara has offered the above pictured piece as a giveaway to one lucky reader of the Junk Bonanza blog!
To enter, please leave me a comment…..no requirements, just a comment! If you blog or Twitter or Facebook about the giveaway, come back and leave another comment telling me you did so and you will be entered again! That’s it! Just my attempt to spread a little Junk Bonanza love around…..
Speaking of which….
Today was awesome! SO MANY Bonanza shoppers, so much energy in one place, friendly dealers, happy shoppers, great junk…..what could be better?
I love these happy faces…..many times today I heard the sentiment, “everyone is so friendly here”, and it is true, the Junk Bonanza is a happy place!
This booth was fantastic – the vendors spent much of the set-up day actually construction their booth space, complete with beautiful old tin for the walls and architectual elements for the sides and a door…..so thoughtful and a fabulous result!
Happy and fashionable shoppers were everywhere!
Were you there? Are you going tomorrow? I will be camping out at the Lucky Friday table for most of the day tomorrow, please stop by and say “hey”…… and if you want to win a Lucky Friday gift certificate, I take bribes in the form of mini-donuts…..I am just sayin’……
What an awesome piece of jewelry! Quite the creation, I am lovin’ it! Please enter me!! Someday I hope to make it to Junk Bonanza…some day!!
Thanks!
Brenda

We went on Saturday and had a great time. This has become a must-do annual event. I have just the perfect lady for this perfect necklace-my wonderful step-mother Twylla. I was so excited about this, I also spread the word via my blog and Facebook- although I would love to keep this my little secret!
I stopped by her booth on Thursday & Friday, and she has such beautiful pieces at her booth! Oh and this was my first even bonanza and I LOVED it, and as you said before every one really was so friendly, I will for sure be a regular from now on!
p.s. I just did some spreading around of the love here!! -I forgot to mention before that I am getting married 9-10-11 and would love to have this on with my vintage wedding dress at my vintage wedding;)!! I am really hoping that the dates next year will not fall on this weekend!!!
ooh hopeful to win such a beautiful necklace! thank you
Now that I am home from Junk Bonanza, I didn’t want to miss this amazing giveaway! Of course I stopped at Tamara’s booth. Of course I drooled over each one of her pieces.
I thought it was more crowded this year! Alot more first timers! But, oh, there was some pretty powerful junk!
I wish I lived closer to the Junk Bonanza venue. I so want to attend! I’d love to be entered in your giveaway. Thanks!
As with everyone else, wish I lived closer to visit! It was great meeting you at Barn House boys! We were the girls from the Roseville, CA area. Hope to meet you again on your own turf!
