At the risk of tooting our own horn....

We are so gratified by all the amazing press we are getting...

'That Jolie Girl' wrote about our Fest here.

And 'Portland Spoke' ~ Travel Portland's blog ~ covered our Fest! here.

Tell us what you thought of the Fest!  And will you be back for more on November 19 at the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove?  More vendors, more vintage treasures & more merriment, just in time for the holidays!

A New Vendor Profile

We are so happy that Chris Kuntz of Mack & Momma is joining us as a vendor at Plucky Maidens Junk Fest! Chris not only wears lots of hats (she is a collector, dealer, re-purposer, jeweler, and all around delightful gal), she makes hats as well. Here are some photos we took of her booth when we visited her at A Vintage Gathering over the weekend....Grab something cool, sit yourself down, and get ready to swoon....

Come out to see Chris and all of our other wonderful vendors at the junk show of the summer.
