Come Junk With Us: 2009

December 7, 2009

Good News Bad News

Let’s just get it over with right away. That way it’s less painful.

We had to cancel the December 5th My Favs Junk Junket.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we weren’t able to go on this Junk Junket Saturday.

Very disappointing but the show must go on.

And on it will go!

I loved this picture.

I found it on over at A Life’s Design

So here’s the good news……………………………

I’m so excited about it I can hardly stand it!

We have talked about it in the past but here it is.

Right in time for Christmas

2010 Farm Chicks Junk Junket!

That’s right…You heard me!

June 4th 5th 6th 2010

Here’s the plan so far. The details are still coming together………………………….

Leave Friday mid morning, get to Spokane, check into hotel, rest and freshen up, then head out for dinner.

Saturday morning get up bright and early and be at Farm Chicks to be the first through the door. Shop all day at Farm Chicks, return to hotel for some rest and freshen up. Then we’ll go to dinner.

Sunday morning get checked out of hotel, load up treasures on the bus, head over to Farm Chicks to make one last pass through, and then head home. I will have more details of times, stops, and special offers as we get closer to the event.

You’re wondering “How much is this going to cost me Timi?”

Well, I’ll tell you…

$559 per person if you have someone to share a room with

$625 per person if you want your own room

These prices include your transportation, meals, show admissions, hotel, and all the usual Come Junk With Us exclusives.

We have had so much fun at The Farm Chick Shows over the years and I’m so excited to share this with a Bus load of new friends.

This is what we like to call a Junkers Religious Experience

Seating is limited and tickets will only be on sale until

April 30th, 2010

Over the next few months we will be planning other Junk Junkets and posting the information here.

We will also be blogging about The 2010 Farm Chicks Junk Junket details as they start coming together.

We’re excited to have you

Come Junk With Us!

My Fav's Junk Junket

Come join us for this special holiday Junk Junket where Come Junk With Us will be taking you to all my local haunts that are a mix of stores with beautiful new items and stores with fantastic treasures.

Let us take some of the hassle out of holiday shopping.

Don't fight traffic, don't look for a parking space, don't fight the crowds at the mall, and don't worry about a thing!

All you have to do is put on your comfy shoes, your eatin pants, bring your Christmas list, and we will do the rest.

Heck we'll even carry your packages for you!

We will be leaving from the Brick Yard Park and Ride on

December 5th at 7:45 am

From there we will be heading into Bothell, Mill Creek, and then to Historic Downtown Snohomish.

If you would like to come join us from out of town no problem!

I have arranged for hotel accommodations locally.

We will pick you up at the hotel!

A 4 star hotel has given me a great rate so that it doesn't put a big dent in your shoppin funds.

Gather up your best shopping buddies and make it a girls weekend!

Come Junk With Us isn't just about junkin, it's about shoppin, havin a good time with friends, food, and laughing until your sides hurt.
