The world is ever changing…JUNKMARKET stays abreast of those changes and offers fresh, innovative, and approachable concepts for you and your home.

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.

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…
