@junkbonanza #minneapolis welcomes the Purple Pincushion!
Name:

Business name:

Live in/Business located:
Algona, IA
Your style in three words:
fun, unique, creative
On your junking bucket list:
atomic bark cloth, ladies’ hankies, seed sacks, cashmere twin sets with rhinestone buttons
You knew you were a junker when…
…I stopped using new materials and went to 100 percent vintage.
Best all-time junking find:
huge jar of amazing old clothing buttons…. for a song!
You wish you would never have parted with…
…a blue and white chenille bedspread.
Bringing to the Bonanza:
wool toys, vintage fabric bags, pillows, pincushions made from old planters, small vintage fabric accessories and much more!
You never junk without…
…my creativity! I buy to repurpose, so I look at an item and see what I want to make out of it.
In your garage: cars or junk?
cars; supplies go to my 1700-square-foot studio space.
No one would ever guess you…
…don’t mind cutting up vintage linens to make my own designs.
Your junking holy grail:
old screen doors for display — hard to find at a junker’s price.
Junking makes you feel…
…like an explorer! If I look hard and keep my vision broad, I find so many terrific pieces!
