{calling all junkers and junk hunks…it’s bonanza time}

Hirshfield’s is over the top with excitement to be partnering with Junk Bonanza at their first spring fling.

If you’re a junker then this is the place for you. Get out the calendar and pencil yourself in for the most fun a junker can have:

• 140 juried vendors are lined up for the first spring Junk Bonanza.
• A Weddings Lab will be debuting at the spring Junk Bonanza. Have you seen the premier issue of Flea Market Style Weddings ?
• Lucky Friday (April 19) is when Junk Bonanza vendors give away coupons worth $50 or more for use in the vendors’ booths. I was at the 2012 fall Bonanza and it seemed like they were calling out names of lucky winners all day long.
• Inspiration overload.
• Hirshfield’s is going to be there!!!

I’d love to share what we’re showcasing, but you’ll have to wait. We’re waiting on a new product and it will be in next week…curse you snow. As soon as it’s in our stores I’ll give you the heads up. We’re very excited to add this paint product to our consumer mix. We’ll also have a few Early Bird tickets to give away so stay tuned.

Here’s a video clip from Junk Bonanza 2011/2012 – take a peek if you’ve never been, or relive the excitement of Junk Bonanza.

Have a grand weekend!

P.S. How could I forget to give you the link to the JUNK BONANZA BLOG?  ”Your source for all things Junk Bonanza.”
