Lately I've been feeling like this cricket...
Stuck. In a cage. One of my own creation.
I'd like to step out. Lift off the top. Be ready to fly with my own wings...
What's stopping me? Myself. Same as ever. I want to do something kind of big. Kind of out there for me. Really scary. I can't quite take the leap. So I keep gathering information and seeking opinions.
I need to take the lid off this thing and get it going. I'm thinking if I write it here for all the world to see (or my very few loyal readers) maybe it will become real and force me to commit.
So here it is:
This year I AM going to host/organize/create my own Junque Market (I need a good name for it - Junque Days?!) event. I'm renting a building at the local fairgrounds, I'm going to find vendors to participate and then hope with the strongest of hopes that people attend. A lot of people attend. Because I want my little corner of Ohio to have a cool show like the lucky folks in MN seem to have all the time!!! Because I would love to attend the Farm Chicks but that is not possible at this point in my life. I'm going to create my own. Because I love my little, quaint and picturesque town and I want people to visit it. Because I'm not ready to do the Country Living Festival but I still want to participate in something similar.
That's it. Not earth shattering in the grand scheme of real life but I've gone and said it. Now I HAVE to do it.

Awesome! If I lived in Ohio I would so be there!
DO it! DO it! Do it! One step at a time...You never know til you try! How long of a drive is it from Michigan-if it's not too far I would come!!!
Oh Girl, call me. I would love to participate. I have done Burlington, Lawrenceburg and and Springfield too. We need a more specialized venue. We have 6 acres and I have thought of doing this so often but parking, level ground, insurance...well it seems too much. So if you are taking the plunge I would love to be one of your vendors. E mail me through my blog. I know some other girls who have great style who would probably love to be involved as well. Just let me know. Thanks, Pam
We are behind you 100%. You can do this because you are awesome.
Sounds fun! I talked to Pam via e-mail yesterday about this. Just send me more information. Sue
OH, this is inspiring...I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with your venture!
Oh, please do it. I will be there. Love a good junque-ing show.
Ok! you said it! now get busy! lol!
really, I think you can do it. but probably should get the ball in motion now. sounds like youve been thinking about it for a while and already have lots of ideas as to how to get it started! wish I lived nearby, I'd be there!
have a good night

Do it. You can if you want it badly enough. Hey I opened my shop and I love it. It was a big risk but I did it and for all the work, I wouldn't change a thing. I turned 50 last summer, and if I wasn't going to do something this big then, when was I going to? So I expect to see a post coming up to report on your progress. By the way, I love the name of the event. Junque Days.
Go for it! I wish I was closer, I would go.
Sounds like you have already put a lot of thought in this, good for you. I'll be rooting for you.
I have all the faith in the world for you. You WILL be a success!
