Are you a Flea Market Style Magazine "Junkie" ?

If you answered yes... then you need to come

out to Shopkeeper & Friends Antique & Artisan Market

@ The Whistle Stop Today  9a.m. - 4p.m.

and meet my friend Cammie from Daffadowndilly's!

Here's Cammie & I in her shop. Yes, I'm the 

one with my eyes shut. Don't look at me, look at

all the great junk behind us! Lot's & lot's & lot's!!!

Cammie as they say is a "jill-of-all-trades".

She's been in the "pickin'" business

long before all the TV shows have

shown it to be popular! 

Cammie finds, repurposes, lots of 

the great goods you find in 

Flea Market Style. She's bringing 

some magazine with her. So, if 

you haven't gotten one yet, you'll

have to get one! 

Maybe she'll even sign

it for you!

primitive goods as well! 

One woman's junk... well we know it's always 

a treasure with Daffadowndilly's! Cammie Methany

has just returned from the Nebraska Junk Jaunt.

I'm sure some of these treasures will be heading

to Shopkeeper & Friends this Saturday!

are from our June Shopkeeper & Friends market.

 I can't wait to see what she's bringing this time! 

You can always expect wonderful primitives from 

Red Door Primitives!

more PUMPKINS! ... and I'm 

sure a few treasures from the farm as well!

joining us on Saturday! More introductions to come tomorrow!
