With flashes flashing Junk Palace opens

These blogging ladies are fast!! They are fast with their little fingers clicking away on their cameras AND extremely fast at posting their pics and news. By the time I got home (and to be fair I don’t live close to Malakoff) pictures were already posted on blogs. So, you are getting old news here and repeated pictures, so I am not posting many. I’m not even sure my pics are much different than ones you’ve seen. But, I do want to give our take on Lillie’s opening of Junk Palace…….A HUGE SUCCESS!!! We want to congratulate her on a job well done. The displays were creative and interesting, lovely and appealing. We love what we bought there. And it looked like the “ticket writer” was busy. Congratulations on your endeavor, Lillie, and the m&m’s wish you much success.
Now to post our couple photos:
Loved this set up, but couldn’t do it justice with my camera.
This wasn’t your usual “set” table either. I loved how the roll of paper was pulled out and scrunched around through everything. Great!
We, also, enjoyed visiting Donna’s shop ” Curious Goods”. She has a wonderful store with lots of fab merchandise. It was the first time we have met her in person. Take our word for it…..a very nice lady.

This is hard to see, but Donna had this old chain she shaped into an interesting art piece!

All of our other pics are repeats of what you will see on other blogs.
It was a treat getting to meet some of these blogging gals. I think maybe there was one on two we didn’t meet, but next time. Also, it was great running into other friends that came out for the opening. It was a cold day, but no one seemed to mind with all the chatter going on, wallets getting opened, cameras clicking, oohs and aahs. Fun day Lillie. Thanks!

It WAS a fun day and I felt happy when we were driving home. That’s what happens when good talk and good shopping come together. I loved your take on that corner of the shop in the first photo. I really could have just moved in there and never left. You weren’t giving “old news”-just saved the best for last! Debbie

I’m so sorry I didn’t get to meet ya’ll. I think we all need hats or something more than nametags to id us! I love your blog and as usual you guys got some great photos. Maybe we’ll meet at the next grand opening! Can’t wait to see your photos from smitten…I’ve been wanting to visit there too!

Thanks so much for coming to Curious Goods while you were in Malakoff this weekend. I know that I did not get to meet everyone while they were in town, so we need to plan a blogger party with nametags so we can all meet one another! You girls are so sweet. I was grateful to meet you!

Great pics and loved her shop. I’ve nominated you both for an award.
