JUNKMARKET…Create Your Own Style, One Piece of
Junk at a Time
Sue Whitney of JUNKMARKET, JUNKMARKET Style, and
most recently GETFRESH Vintage is the nation’s industry leader in “junk” and
“vintage” style. She has authored 3 books, 2 magazines, is currently a
contributor for Better Homes and Gardens Country Gardens, and is the most
highly respected national speaker in her genre. What is her style? It is the
combination of roadside acquisitions, flea market finds, vintage for 400
please, and antiquities all wrapped up in one very stylish, affordable, green,
and user friendly lifestyle package. The world is ever changing…JUNKMARKET
stays abreast of those changes and offers fresh, innovative, and approachable
concepts for you and your home. From the beginning (over twelve years ago) the
original JUNKMASTER had a vision: to pursue her passion and share it with
others. That’s something she will never transform. Among other things, Sue will
be presenting on the main stage. Let her show you how to entertain, JUNKMARKET
Style! The entire dining experience will be created of finds from Vintage
Marketplace. Sue believes that spontaneity is a key ingredient to great design.
You may just want to follow her around while she shops and learn how it’s done
first hand!

1 PM to 2 PM: Carter Seibels and Aveesh
Singh of Woman Shops World
Carter Seibels and husband Aveesh Singh have been in
the bead business for a combined total of 30 years. Though their love of
beads has never faded, the exhaustion and over-saturation of the market
encouraged them to travel other paths. When Aveesh, who is from India,
took Carter on her first buying trip to India 2 years ago,
their whole world changed! Carter started filling her suitcases with colorful finds, both vintage and new. She found all of these fabulous items that she needed to bring
home and share with the US market (sari borders, harem pants, beaded slippers,
to name a few). Slowly the pair started growing their offerings, to
include antique and vintage African textiles, more handicrafts from India and
Nepal, Thai clothing, shoes, and accessories, and more. And of course
there is always a huge selection of vintage and antique African beads!
This pair will share their
travel experiences and a whole lot more with you. Please join this delightful
couple and learn a little about layering your life with pieces from faraway
lands.
3 PM to 4 PM: A Dining Experience
JUNKMARKET Style with Sue Whitney
Sue Whitney
of JUNKMARKET Style has agreed to take the challenge. She’ll create a one-of-a
kind fall dining experience out of finds harvested from all the fine dealers of
Vintage Marketplace and Springfield Extravaganza. Can’t really tell you much
more than that because she’ll be working with what she uncovers. There is one
thing we can tell you for sure…it WILL be stunning! Please be our guests at the
main stage for an interactive demonstration on how to put together an entire
look out of one shopping experience. Look for Sue on Friday and Saturday as she
hunts and gathers and make sure to say hi if you spot her!! Be careful
though….she may want you to carry something heavy back to her tent! She’s just
that way…
4 PM to 8 PM: Music and a Par-tay!
Whoa
doggies…now here’s something to shout about. We have a band….and it’s a big
one!! The fabulous BBI will be in
the house just for you. This is a free performance with your paid admission. Beer
and food will be available for purchase during the concert.
A little about BBI:
BBI has
transcended the test of time and become an entertainment phenomenon!
Energizing
audiences around the globe with their universal crowd appeal. BBI is
unparalleled by any other regional band.
BBI
possesses an ebullient live spirit that cuts across ages, races, backgrounds.
It’s not just the accolades of great songs, and unforgettable stage show, and
being well dressed that have elevated BBI to superior status. BBI connects with
their audience in the most fundamental way: inspiring audiences to have fun!
To go along
with the ab fab music…we have some celebrating to do! It’s somebody’s birthday.
Our very own Sue Whitney will be celebrating her 29th birthday one
more time! Anyone who wishes to celebrate their own 29th birthday
right along with Sue, you’re invited to do so. The more the merrier! I think I
