In addition to Shop Outside the Box, there are two antique/funky junk shows this weekend that provide plenty of opportunity to shop for repurposable goods.

I hope to show up at both of these events (between bouts of grading stacks of essays...darn day job—cuts into the fun).

Five Mile Prairie Grange Tag & Rummage Sale:
The Tag & Rummage Sale promises to be good—full of great household items and furniture. (I am on a mission to find old, white enamelware to hold wedding flowers—my hopes are high for this show).

The show is Saturday only from 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. I’m showing up early!

Custer Antiques & Collectibles Sale:
This is a huge sale—be prepared to walk a lot and make decisions about what to buy (bring some water and a snack or two to help sustain you). With over 300 vendors, there should be something for everyone.

The MAC will also be represented at the show appraising collectibles and family treasures. I love this feature of the event and am still trying to decide what I’ll bring—it's like a mini Antiques Roadshow.

The show runs April 29 – May 1 at the Spokane Fair & Expo Center. Admission (good all weekend) is $6; children 12 and under are free.

Hours:
Friday: 4:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Sunday: 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

I’ll take my camera and let you know what I end up with!
