[ junquestock + celebrity sighting ]

ONE OF MY favourite shops in Muskoka is Simply Cottage and imagine my surprise when I discovered that they had purchased the old Muskoka Foundry building and had taken over the space...



I've always loved their mix of casual cottage furniture and accessories mixed with some quirky found antiques and this space is a feast for the eyes...



The fun thing about the weekend I discovered their new digs, is that they were having Junquestock in the back part of their enormous building...


a live band, a BBQ and all the antique junky goodness you could imagine...



And who happened to be there? Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott!


{oddly, this is the second time we've run into Tori ~ the last time was at the Bellagio in Vegas back in 2004}

Anyway, I could have filled a truck with all the treasures I came across, but unfortunately had to limit any purchases to my luggage allowance. What did I buy?

a cute honey tin...


and a couple of little bottles to add to my collection...


I know, nothing overly exciting! But it was cool to run into a couple of celebs and I can't wait to see what goodies I find there the next time I'm in Muskoka!

It looks like a wonderful place to shop and I love your new treasures! Hoe fun to see Tori and Dean! Their reality shows used to be one of my guilty pleasures. :)

How fun! I love digging around fleas like that for treasures. Even small treasures are fun to take home. I like things that I bring back from a vacation, they remind me of the trip. :)
