5 Tips For Shopping The Great Junk Hunt Vintage Market

Coming to The Great Junk Hunt is a one-of-a-kind experience! There is nothing like walking into the market with your friends, with music playing and seeing the hundreds of beautiful booths with tons of vintage and unique items to browse and buy. Here are five tips for a successful shopping trip at The Great Junk hunt.

1. Have a strategy

   Plan out your strategy – Make a list of items you are looking for beforehand and as you walk around the market, make sure that check every area so you don’t miss anything. We suggest going around twice… you never know what you may have missed the first time around!

2. Eary Bird gets the worm!

   Get there early for the best selection - The best pieces usually sell first, so the sooner you arrive, the more inventory you have to choose from!

3. Fully charge your phone

   Fully charge your phone - Take a picture of where you parked so you can find your way back easily. Take photos of any large purchases you make, to help you remember to return for pickup.

4. Bring a bag or wagon

   Bring a market bag – Take a bag or tote to carry your finds; a bag with long handles that can be slung over the shoulder is best. For heavier items, bring a wagon or a cart.

5. Bring a tape Measure

   Be ready to measure – Carrying a measuring tape is helpful if you’re looking for a piece to fit in a specific place in your home!

Celebrating a decade of junk

Do you ever look back at time and feel like, where the heck did the time go? Next thing you know, you are looking through photo albums for hours and tears start running down your face. Ok, maybe I am being a little over dramatic, but 10 years went by pretty darn fast and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate this milestone! 

We started out in a small gym in Puyallup, WA and now we have 5 locations all over the west coast! We definitely could not have done this without you, our fellow junkers! Thank you for being a part of our journey and making this amazing decade of junking so much fun! 

Industrial Meets Vintage in a White Room

This room combines all of the latest trends, industrial, vintage and white. 

The white makes it so fresh and clean. 

The vintage gives it personality and depth. 

The industrial gives it the unexpected. 

Put it all together and you have the perfect combination.

Vintage Leather LOVE

I love vintage leather.  You know, those old, worn and cracked leather furniture pieces that become more beautiful with each year that goes by. They add the "awesome" factor to a room, a bit of masculinity that is earthy and warm . These heirlooms are often passed on from one generation to the next.

Remember, vintage leather won't be perfect. Don't be afraid of imperfections. Unless it’s been locked up in storage for years, it's unlikely to be in perfect condition. Imperfections add character to furniture. Think of discoloration, or slight wear and tear as beauty marks that add to the charm and history of vintage leather. Here is a selection that shows exactly what I mean, enjoy and tell me what you think.
