once in, you can also shop! this is just a small sampling of what there will be in april/may when the show house is open for the 'after' viewing.

you can see out the window the snow we also ordered for the backdrop of our display. these

photos do not do it justice, but the large windows and snow sure made for a pretty backdrop.

note: some items you see in these photos may have already sold. thanks for checking out our blog.

Window Display: Ranchmart Wine & Spirits

We had the privilege today to do a window display at the Ranchmart Wine & Spirits. It is located at 95th and Mission Road in the Ranchmart North shopping center.
:
We brought in a few of our own props (table, chair, tree branch) but then used what they had available. They have a wine tasting room (available for your next get together!) filled with lots of fun and unique gifts. Cigars, stemware, dip mixes, cocktail napkins, wine chocolates, burlap wine bags (we gushed over these!) and so much more.
:
Our window display focuses on the extras they have for sale as well as some great wines, chosen because we liked the labels and that pop of Christmas red!

We have a winner!

At the Gift Gallery we had a drawing for one lucky winner! Two hours of staging to refresh a room in your home. We had tons enter and the lucky winner was ... Amy O. of Overland Park, KS. We've contacted Amy and will stage her family room in January. We are so excited to do this and can't wait to meet her and see her space. You'll be able to see before and after photos here on the blog. Stay tuned!

2009 Gift Gallery

We participated in the Cure of Ars Gift Gallery, a yearly fabulous sale. Our booth was full of fun finds for your home. Things were selling fast so we were always rearranging. It was a day full of fun, friends and hard work.

About our name...

The dictionary definition of junction is the act of joining; combining.... Which is exactly what my good friend Joan and I have done....joined our two small business' together. I will still continue designing and making trays for Tray Bella and she will carry on with her beautiful Turtle Soup serving pieces.
:
We also will join our love of junking into our new business, which is where the spelling of JunKtion comes into play. The capital J is for Joan and the capital K is for Kathi and the JunK...well that's a given. We both love to decorate our homes with hunted treasures, thrifted finds, stuff on the curb....what ever you want to call it, we call it junking.
:
Burlap? Well, we just love the rugged look, and the texture of burlap.
:
So, that's the story to our name.

the merge

stay tuned.....
