The Rusted Raven

One of my favorite parts of Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market will always be the people I meet along the way 🤍

I got to spend some time with the sweet ladies from Willow Tree Market in Show Low, Arizona — including Brittaney, who truly had the BEST energy. The kind of people you meet once and immediately feel like you’ve known forever.

Their shop is absolutely beautiful and full of all the cozy, thoughtful, curated goodness that makes you want to wander every aisle slowly. If you’re ever up in Show Low, definitely make a stop at Willow Tree Market 🌿

They also host their own market, and after meeting them, I’m already hoping The Rusted Raven gets to be part of it someday soon ✨

One of the coolest things about this business has been finding other women and small business owners who genuinely cheer each other on. Grateful for new friendships, vintage adventures, and all the magic this market keeps bringing into my life.

This year’s Junk in the Trunk felt different… in the most meaningful way ✨

If I’m being honest, I wasn’t even sure I’d make it here. This season of my life has been heavy, and there were moments leading up to the market where I questioned if I could actually pull it off—emotionally, physically… even just driving that ginormous moving truck on my own felt like a mountain.

But I showed up anyway.

And somewhere between the setup, the conversations, the laughter, and yes… even rollerskating through it all… I felt something shift.

This weekend reminded me that I’m still here. Still capable. Still building something that matters.

Every single person I met—vendors, customers, new friends, familiar faces—you were all so kind, so open, so genuine. It meant more than I can probably explain. Getting to reconnect with those of you who come back year after year… that really stayed with me 🖤

And watching people find pieces in my booth that they connected with… like truly saw themselves in… that’s the part that gets me every time. That quiet kind of magic.

This wasn’t just a good market for me—it was a healing one.

I’ll absolutely be back in September.

Until then, you can find me at my booth— and I’ll be sharing some of the incredible vendors I connected with this year, because there are some really special people behind all of this 🖤

A very heartfelt thank you to my kids for being my team! I couldn’t do it without you!!! 💕

Last day at Junk in the Trunk🪿😂

When you’re surrounded by vintage ducks and geese, you just have to commit. No rules, just vibes ✨

Come find me, say hi, and maybe join a round…

Let’s make the last day the most fun one yet 🖤

Where’s Waldo? It’s busy this afternoon but there’s so much good vintage left for you! Come visit through Sunday:) Booth 78+79.

Day one of Junk in the Trunk is officially in the books ✨

And wow… what a day.

This market is so much more than just selling vintage—it’s the people. The familiar faces who come back year after year, the customers who’ve turned into friends, and the sweet moments of seeing kids I met at past markets growing up right in front of me.

I hugged old friends, met so many new ones, shared stories, laughed a lot, and felt so grateful to be part of something that brings so many amazing humans together.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shopped, chatted, or just said hi—you’re the heart of this little business of mine ❤️

We’re restocking and ready for day two… come see us at Westworld Booth 78–79!
