Shop Update

Greetings Everyone!

Over the weekend I did a small shop update.  Here's a few of the new goodies that popped up in the shop. Order by Friday before the shipping rates go up :(

I seriously debated keeping this, but since I have no ties to California and have never been to Disneyland I thought it would be loved by someone else. If you collect Disneyana
souvenirs, California souvenirs or mid-century souvenirs, you've gotta have this.  I die for the mid-century Disney font.

These 8 atomic fish glasses, that sold right away. They were so precious and are on their way to their new home.

Not sure as to what exact year this camera is as the only writing I can find on the camera says on the film advancer "Use Kodak film 616" so I am just assuming that it is a Kodak. And the 616 film was made in the 1930s for the brownie box cameras.  This camera would be a great addition to your vintage camera collection or the great beginnings of one.

This Thermos is great for holding your hot chocolate, hot soup or chili while tailgating, a trip to the outdoor ice rink or on a snow filled hike in the woods. In the summer time it would keep your iced tea, lemonade or water ice cold on your sunny afternoon picnic.  If you didn't want to use it for it's intended purpose of keeping things hot or cold, we think that this would make a very charming rustic vase for your table with some wildflowers in it.

This fabulous New York, New York souvenir purple felt pennant is in great shape for it's age. The only mishap is a small tear from where the nail or push pin that was holding this to the wall was located.

These are just some of a few of the gems I have found lately.  There are lots more to come so stay tuned. Hope you all have a great Thursday!

On my New Obsession

If you never met, I'd like you to meet Enid Collins

 Enid was a handbag designer from the great state of Texas, from 1959 to 1970.  In those years she churned out hand painted and hand dazzled handbags made of wood and paper mache.  For the first years, she had only a small cult following in Texas, then a little known store called Nieman Marcus called and placed an order for handbags, catapulting Enid into handbag stardom.  An Enid was the "it" bag to carry to the grocery store.

I had no idea who Enid was until I started reading Betty's blog, and read of her obsession of them.  Well I thought yeah those are pretty interesting, and wrote it off that I would never find one this far North. Well low and behold, my mom and I went to our regular antique mall while I was home for the holidays and behind some cookie jars, look at the gem I spotted!

That's right in little small town Wisconsin I found a Money Tree!!! I started F-R-E-A-K-I-N-G out in the middle of that store. 

So there I now see a new collection beginning, I don't know yet as I've only found one, but there are sooo many that I have been drooling over.  I think what I enjoy the most about the Enids are the inside which have a circle mirror and are individually signed and say "Handcrafted for You" and have her logo which is a horse.

Here's a sampling of the ones I've been coveting on Etsy

I also love the tags that came on the bags, maybe I'll find one with the tag someday.

Well I hope you all enjoyed, checking out my new obsession.  Do any of you have an Enid?

Shipping Rate Increase

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to check in with some business news.  As most of you are aware, the USPS is increasing it's rates on January 22, therefore we will be forced to increase the shipping costs for Junk by approximately 15%.  It irks us to have to do this, but it is what it is.  We want to continue to support the USPS and  to not have to reach out to other shipping sources.  With that in mind you have about ten days to get in on the shipping prices now, and if you ordered between November and December make sure you take advantage of your coupon code that was included with your purchase as that expires on Jan. 15th. 

Thank You everyone for your continued support of us and our vintage endeavors.
