Spoon Sisters & Circa Antiques Vintage Trailer Show on the Funky Junk Trail

Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi attended the Vintage Trailers and Treasures Vintage Trailer Show in Tyrone ,Georgia on
September 6th, 2014. Yes, that is me!

The Funky Junk Trail highlights antique stores in small towns in Georgia and Alabama.

I met Kelly and Leisel Caldwell who are looking for vendors for upcoming Funky Junk Roadshow events.
 

Funky Junk Trail events bring many visitors to towns located off of the beaten track.
A great way to stimulate the local economy, give trailer vendors business, and trailer food vendors too.


An opportunity to see a Shasta for sale. Or maybe it will be for sale, once their new trailer is restored

Rick Hawkins Cabinets was also in attendance handing out flyers. He has the birch interior sheets of wood for restorations.
See his Facebook page.

One of the vendors at the event was
studioonthirdavenue.com
Cheryl W. Morrison
When you send her a picture of your trailer,  she designs a wooden painted wall hanging replica of your trailer.
Really cute!
These are pictures from her Facebook page.

An opportunity for me to hand out business cards and let folks know that I am the local awning lady.

It was a beautiful, hot day, in Georgia for visiting the event. There was live entertainment in the afternoon, after we left. Sunday the vendors will still be set up from 10:00 until 2:00.

Will Be Making Awnings For Sale Soon

Inventory is underway. Pictured are some roll ends, of marine grade awning fabric, with only enough material left for just small awnings. This is the time of year, when I clear out the old awning fabric to make room for the new. One by one, I will turn each fabric remnant into a little awning. I will also be using up my leftover fringe and edge binding. I know some of you look forward to this annual event, so I am posting in advance. Have a sneak peek at the upcoming patterns, in anticipation of the Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi that will be for sale. I will update patterns as inventory continues.     dfoster@bellsouth.net
