We began collecting old things, as something to do together, when our last child went off to college. When the barn became full of antiques, junk and things we had created from it, we held our first Spring Country Junk Sale. It was such a hit with the local Junk community, we were prompted to do it again. We held a Fall Country Junk Sale in October and included the pumpkins, broom corn, Indian corn and gourds we grow, for Fall decorating. Were now getting ready for our 7th fall sale this October.

The majority of you said to paint the cupboard. Guess that's the way we were leaning as well. I used three coats, white, green and a honey mustard top coat, then distressed it. Now just need to find...

We have bought gifts for friends at the "Drawers of Davlee". It is really a cute shop!

Re: Primitive Cupboards from Junk

Thanks for all your positive feedback. Our sale will be held here at the farm, located at 9650 Harding Ave. Monticello MN. Fri October 2 and Saturday October 3 from 9-5. We know it's probably a long way for some of you, but if you do make it here (all the way from Texas for example), maybe we'll break out a bottle from our farm winery, scheduled to open next June.
