The Junkrestore Vintage Market Sale this past weekend was a big success for everyone involved and was tons of fun! There were a couple of big items that had a lot of blog buzz around them that I was really hopeful would sell, but sadly didn’t, namely the Damask Dresser and the Chevron Dresser.

Saturday the 17th, Cara and I set up for our first try at a big furniture sale. We set up at a community wide yard sale day in a large, local subdivision. It was a gorgeous day. We were excited.
