Want to get a look inside the cover of Junk Beautiful Outdoor Edition before it hits the stands? Well here you go! This table setting is from one of several outdoor dining rooms found in the book. The napkin holder is a little lovely anyone can do!

MimiToria writes: Man Sue, I've been in suspense since November when we went to the open houses together and you told me you had a new book being released in March 2009. I can't wait for it to be released and I'm sure it will be top notch as eveything you do is.
Thanks for the tease, oops, I mean sneak peak of the great stuff we have to look forward to.
I'd love to go Texas and join you all, but this year just won't be the year for me. Hopefully, another time.

Thanks for your patience and I'm glad to see by the "awesomes" that you are enjoying the post. In the meantime if you have any questions regarding the Texas itinerary please feel free to email us at the JUNKMARKET!

Thanks again and take care,

Marburger, Uncommon Objects, and Leftovers are all on my list of favorite places to go and find great things and I know they are equally as excited that are going to be there. See you soon, Theresa Posted: 10:43 am on February 15th
