Y'all, We Went to JUNKSTOCK & Scored!

[@nancydroge7682]

Loved the adventure! Thank you for inviting us! It was so fun seeing Josh looking around… & his purchase… after cracking up over here, I thought of how cool & intricate honeycombs are & how clearly they reveal God’s creativity, detail & purpose in design. Maybe Josh has a message for the youth with which he’s going to use this piece to convey something about the Creator! Your choices were absolutely beautiful! Eager to see how you integrate them!

[@KristenHoffman]

I was thinking the same thing, Nancy!

[@edie7691]

Looked like so much fun and relaxing. Great finds at great prices. Please show us how you style your new finds.

[@KristenHoffman]

I'll try! The house is a mess right now!

[@jankinman4685]

Kristen, I wish we had such a place like JUNKSTOCK. Thank you for changing your plans & taking us along. Great finds too. I love the crocks. The dark brown will look soooo awesome in the Fall with so many different things in it. You hit the mother load with that basket too. It will look great outside with potted plants in it or even hanging on the wall (outside too) with a fern or again in the Fall. So much fun. Have a great week sweet girl.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Jan!

[@AggieMay-vk5pb]

One of my favourite things to do with my kids is to take a basket and some snippers and go for a walk around (we live in a country Australian town) and we cut nice branches and greenery and then come home and do some arrangements. Its free, takes a good amount of time and at the end you have lovely arrangements. Its good for those times when your cut flowers aren't out yet (also a good tip for your yard reno, put a bed in just for cut flowers so you don't feel bad cutting them out of your garden). I tend to do bigger arrangements in my crocks and ironstone jugs and the kids love doing smaller ones :) anyway, just a tip :)

[@KristenHoffman]

We actually did that this week!

[@ThePoetInMyHeart]

Junkstock looks like such a great time! Awesome finds, as always 😊

[@KristenHoffman]

It was awesome!

[@jeffvenables4845]

Hi Kristin. Really fun market! When I was a girl, my great grandfather had bees. He would can some of the honey with the comb in it. He would give us chunks (it’s just wax) to put in our mouth. There’s nothing like that first bite-all of that wonderful honey comes out into your mouth. The more you chew, it just turns into a small piece of wax which you spit out. Good memories from the 60’s!

[@KristenHoffman]

I have never done this before!

[@barbb.7028]

If any of the crock/vases don't hold water, just place a thin vase inside and you can add water and your fresh flowers to that. Your crock and basket are so beautiful. Looks like a lot of fun to go to Junk Stock. I've never heard of it before.

[@KristenHoffman]

Good idea!

[@deborafranklin7469]

Hi Kristen. That place looked so fun and you thrifted some great items!!😊

[@cherylmiller7208]

Girl.....did you ever strike some buys! So happy you got the chance to go! Looked like a blast! My kind of weekend! Great finds! 👍♥️

[@KristenHoffman]

It was so cool!

[@glorianelson9538]

Kristen, that basket is amazing and for the price....I got one years ago for 80.00 dlls. I love it I use it (indoors of course) for my blankets and pillows in the family room. Simply hose it down with soap and water to clean it up and let it air dry. I agree with you that maybe a mirror would look better over the mantel. Also, those silver colour pheasants you have on the mantel are (imo) most likely from a French Country store that went out a few years ago called Pierre Deux, they are expensive (I know bec/ I have them!). TFS!

[@KristenHoffman]

No way?! I wonder how much!

[@janegreene1282]

Hi, Kristen. Enjoyed your Junk stock video. Aren't those kind of festivals fun? You got some amazing crocks.. .love the Goliath basket!!! So great to see you, Josh, and your friend. Tell Josh that this past Saturday there were 60,000 young people who filled the Oklahoma University football stadium to praise and worship the Lord. Also wanted to tell you your crock and basket were God Nuggets at $10. Let your light shine, Kristen. Greetings from Oklahoma. Jane Greene

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow! How cool!

[@marylawson4492]

I live in Kansas. So glad you told me about this. This will be a good trip for me and my daughters.

[@KristenHoffman]

YAY!

Wonderful finds. Thanks so much for sharing

[@ginamaria2579]

So much fun 🤗 sweet finds.

[@KristenHoffman]

Seriously!

[@karencampbell9770]

Maybe a large mirror propped on the mantle with the painting propped in front. Some layering. Lots of brass is charming. You’ll figure it out. It’s a process. Have you ever been to Round Top? TX. So much fun.

[@KristenHoffman]

I have heard of it, but I have never been!

[@shirleydunn8050]

Wow what an amazing event. Just right up my street. Loved the way it was decorated. The basket was a steal as was the chair.

[@KristenHoffman]

No way?!!

[@shirleydunn8050]

@@KristenHoffman Oh Kristen sorry I’ve confused you. I live in England and the saying “ right up my street” actually means it’s something I’d really like - be interested in. It looked a fabulous event. I loved all the artwork and decorations too like the picture made out of flip flops.

[@sandyprather9133]

Thanks for taking us with you! Looks like loads of fun!

[@patriciaskitch2341]

What beautiful weather you had! Looks like so much fun. Kristen you found some amazing items at fabulous prices (especially the large crock and wicker basket at the end).

[@KristenHoffman]

I was shocked!

[@lindasmith5190]

Oh, my goodness! Great finds andd so muuh fun. If the crocks do not hold water, just put a skinny glass vase in it for your water if using real flowers.

[@KristenHoffman]

Good idea!

[@dianahale9476]

If you’re going to use the crocks as a vase with water inside, be sure you have a protective material under the bottom if it isn’t glazed . I made the mistake of not doing this and ruined my kitchen table from water seeping and it soaking into the tables’s surface! Great finds! 😊

[@KristenHoffman]

Good idea, Diana!

[@karenehlers2534]

You can actually wash that basket. In your tub. Mild soap. Make sure it’s a sunny day so you can leave outside to dry. Beautiful find.

[@KristenHoffman]

Good idea!

[@tessab.2065]

That looked like a whole lot of fun! You scored some awesome finds!

I Love all the Beautiful Items you purchase. I also would stack books on your mantel, add a big vase. Adding bigger sized items, and different heights to add more visual interest. ❤️

That is where I always get caught up!

That looked like so…much FUN!!! You scored on some GREAT items!!!😊😃😁 Thanks for sharing!!!🥰

[@KristenHoffman]

I thought so too!

[@bethmann3283]

We used to get honeycomb when we were kids. Scoop off a hunk of it, chew it, you'll get all the honey out, then you're left with the wax comb. It's like candy!!

[@KristenHoffman]

I didn't know you could do this!

[@cindyhancock5261]

Oh how fun!!!! I love all of your finds!❤

That is a way cool event. So many things ya gotta love. Bluegrass, junk, sunshine 🤩

[@KristenHoffman]

All of the best things!

[@kathleenwoodbury7491]

What a cool place! So much good stuff! The glaze on that dark brown crock is called Albany glaze and the crock itself is an old canning crock, used before the glass canning jars were available. Love it! I have quite a collection of those in different styles and colors. You got a steal on that 3 gal crock and the basket! All that wear and tear is called patina these days! Now just stop apologizing when you spend a bit more for something you really want, we all deserve a splurge every so often! ❤

[@KristenHoffman]

It was a good splurge!

[@maryswift6014]

Wow the deals 😮 love that place. The vinders had their booth's so cute❤

[@swansongvintage2639]

Beautiful finds! The installations there looked SO cool! In your intro were those button down shirts all tied together and strung up high? They looked like huge morning glories or trumpet flowers. 😍 Thanks for taking us along! ❤

[@KristenHoffman]

Yes! There are all kinds of art installations!

[@rhondaallen5063]

Oh, Kristin, I love this!!! I went to Junkstock back when it was at the old dairy farm in Omaha and have been to the one at Waterloo one time, as well. I live out by Kearney so it’s about a 3 hr drive, but so worth it! You found some awesome treasures, and I know the hunt is the most fun of all! Wish I could’ve gone this year, but hopefully next!❤️

I hope you left some things for the rest of us. I’m coming from Colorado for this weekend (May 5-7). I have never been. We have family in Wahoo and Elkhorn. Do you have anything suggestions on how to approach this, with so many vendors? If you buy a couple of bigger items - like the basket and crock - do you have to carry them around with you while shopping. How did you handle that.

I loved the first two crocks simply because they are different and loved their shapes. Also loved the candlesticks. When I saw them, I thought I'd grab them quick and you did. I love the idea you have for your basket. If I paid $20 for that honey thing, I'd probably use it in the kitchen somehow. It's too expensive to eat. Lol, got to let Josh have fun too. Liked his hat and Ivy's little kiss. Ya'll seemed to be having so much fun. I love going places like that and MOST of the time I don't spend too much money. Things I do buy just mean more to me than things I pick up in stores.
