- If you live near a place that offers The Great Junk Hunt, and you’ve wondered if it was worth attending from a junk journal perspective, this mini haul may help answer that question. I already have a plethora of JJ supplies, so I limited what I purchased, but these finds and so many more were readily available. I found that attending was well worth the time and the entrance fee.
Great score! Those three books are treasures, what a deal for the two Frenchies!
I’ve not done a book like those, so I’m looking forward to the adventure and the challenge 😊
Beautiful laces! Always a treasure to find!
Agreed. I was lucky indeed!
Of course, we moved away from Coeur d’ Alene, and now I can’t fly across the country for lace! I’ll have to start looking in Portland, Maine in hopes of finding such treasures. What a score of lacy goodness, along with the gorgeous book and quilt. Enjoy them, Cori.
Portland, Maine and the surrounding areas are just gorgeous. Plus, you're close to some excellent vintage hunting places! I found some exceptional treasures in Vermont.
Wow that plant book is dreamy!! Such beautiful lace!!
It really is! I know I got incredibly lucky 😊
Wow, I wouldn't have been able to leave them behind either! What a great haul!
They just called to me and I felt that it would be rude to ignore them so, they came home with me 😊
So funny Charlie Brown is my absolute fave along with Winni the Pooh. I had a lab when I was very young called snoopy. He was adorable. Love all your goodies❤.
Thank you, Carrie and so much YES! I love Pooh and Friends and Charlie Brown and friends. Good stuff ❤️
So glad to see you found these items to bring you some happiness at a time when they are needed most x
So much truth to that. Thank you ❤
Beautiful laces and that book, oh my what a find
I’m definitely grateful ❤
Great haul, Cori, can't wait to see what you make with them!!
Thanks so much!
Oh my…you hit the jackpot. I never find that many yummy items in one place. Can’t wait to see what you create next.
Thank you. I've already got some ideas from these beauties...
Wow, fun stuff for sure. You know what blows me away??... We are probably a few thousand miles apart... and two of those tiny lace's, I have also. ... I had to pick my jaw off the floor. Guess that means I have good taste in lace? hahahahaha....
Its a small world, after all ! 😁 you made my day Cori, Thanks for sharing your goodies with us.
I love that our huge world can be so very small and that we can have old, vintage treasures that are the same... even thousands of miles apart. Bless you and thank you!
Love your finds, they are beautiful and that book is heaven! 😘
Thank you and I agree. I'm really looking forward to playing with it!
Love that botanical book! Great finds!
Thank you!
Awesome finds…. Love the lace.TFS ❤
Thank you! I'm looking forward to creating with it 😊
What a great haul! Love the botanical book. That is a wealth of journal ephemera. The vintage lace is beyond gorgeous. You found some great ones. So intricate and beautiful😊. I agree your idea for using some lace on the flaps of the notebook is a great idea. I think I might have to use that idea if you don’t mind? The name of my Etsy shop is Rustic Prairie Gems. I just opened the shop back up after being closed for 3 months. I was in Wyoming with my son and his family. They had a new baby girl and we went to help with all their chores and things they have going on like helping Kiran get up early to get ready for school and make the bus. Poor guy has to get up at 6 am to be ready for the bus at 7. That’s just too early for a 7 year old! But when you live in the mountains and are far from school that’s the way it has to be. Anyway didn’t mean to tell you my life story. Just want you to know that when I have a chance I do listen to your videos. I do love your style ❤️
Thank you Frieda and YES! Of course you should try it with lace flaps. I think it's the next video that shares how I made some with lace overlays/flaps. I did remember your shop name in the next video, just had a moment when I was sharing in this one. Very kind of you to help your grandson adjust. I get it. I leave here at 6:00 am for school that begins at 9:00. Bless you and happy creating!

Fun finds. My daughter lives in Enumclaw. When I visit and need a hobby lobby I go to Puyallup. So you must not live far from her. I love how you’re always using scraps and not a lot of digitals. That’s my style, or working toward it. Used to be a scrapbooker so I’m trying to use all that stuff up in junk journal form.
I love Enumclaw. Such a delightful community. I live in Olympia and my daughter lived in North Bend before she moved to Idaho, so I took the "back" way through Enumclaw often. Ialso used to scrapbook and I still have more supplies than I'll ever be able to use 😊
Wow! What an amazing haul. The lace is gorgeous.TFS❤️
I'm really looking forward to using it. I've had a few ideas...
What an incredible lace haul!!!
Yes it was! I found some great treasures 😊
Lovely finds!! Pure gold!
Thanks 👍
Cori those are fabulous finds! ❤ I have a botanical book similar to the one you found. Those vintage laces were making my heart skip beats! I have an addiction to vintage laces and any vintage textile. Swooooon. I tell people I rescue them. 😂 Have a blessed day!
I love that we both rescue those gorgeous vintage laces. Thank you and bless you!
your treasures are stunning! I simply love thrifting!
Me too!! Thank you 😊
See Cori I knew I liked you . Charlie Brown is my favorite too! I'm currently sitting in my favorite Charlie socks. I have vintage Peanuts drinking glasses , The common phrase to my son and his teenage buddies is " watch out for Charlie!" because they tend to break things. BOYS lol. Your finds are wonderful . I am envious of that Charlie Lace and that Fab book. Talk to ya. ~ Patti
Thank you, Patti. I do so love a good Peanuts find. I've received some incredible vintage treasures from my students over the years and each Charlie Brown, or one of his gang, just makes me happy. Glad we have that connection 😊
Beautiful lace. Tyfs can’t wait to see you use them❤
Thank you ❤️
Wow, what a great haul! I was lucky enough to find a book with old vintage photos and stories in it. Unfortunately, my area seems to lack old vintage lace, but I get what I can if I see it. Just beautiful things you purchased❣️
Thank you. I admit, I'm pleased with the treasures I found.
What beautiful treasures you found!! 💕🥰💕
I was very lucky 😊
Cori, what an awesome jackpot you have on your hands. Looking forward to all of the creations you will come up with using all these gems. Sending continued prayers. Hugs and stay well.
Thank you and I've had an idea or two that I'm eager to try 😊
You found such beautiful lace! There’s an antique store I go to in Lee, MA that sells absolutely gorgeous lace. It’s about an hour away from my father-in-law’s house upstate New York and driving around in the mountains to buy beautiful antique lace is so totally worth it! Enjoy all your great finds!
That sounds absolutely delightful! I'm thinking of heading to the upper east coast for Spring Break... would you be willing to share the store name?
Nice haul, love all that beautiful lace! TFS 😊
It was truly a lucky find. Thank you!
I think it is probably a good thing we don't have those in my area. But it is almost garage sale time, so I love finding bargains there. Fun! And lovely lace.
A good garage or yard or estate sale find is also a very happy thing!
Nice haul! The Great Junk Hunt is so much fun and such great finds. I’ll be hitting the one in Pomona this month! Woo hoo!
What a blast you will have! I grew up in the Bay Area and lived in Sacramento for several years, so I hear the Roseville event calling my name.... mini road trip???? It could happen!
So much scrumminess there Cori 😍
If you ever need anything, you've only to say so and I'll happily pop some in the mail!
Gorgeous laces, lucky you 🤗💞
Indeed. I've already used some of it 😊
Hooray! I see the GJH is coming to Salem OR in mid-April - just an hour’s jaunt from East Portland - thanks for the tip, Cori! ❤
I hope/plan to attend that show too. Just a few short hours from Olympia.... and Salem has an In -N- Out ❤️
Where I live, beautiful laces are hard to find. So, when I travel, I search thrift and antique shops for treasure. I used to very rarely use lace, but now especially after your Little Bits of Lace. I seen to want to add it to everything. Thank you for sharing.
You know, I think it's the fact that very little old and torn and underloved lace can make such a big impact is what draws me to using it. It's timeless and tells such a beautiful story. Bless you ❤️
@@CoriDahmen ❤️
Oh my, thank you for sharing! I had shown interest in the one coming at the end of the month, but now I am for sure going 👏🥰
Excellent! I hope you have a fantastic time and that you find lots of treasures. My advice? Take the early admission option. I'm so glad we did as it got crowded quickly. Have a wonderful time!
Oh how fun! I bought a bunch of old quilt pieces too for the same reason…. Stumped as well………. Oh, and i used to live in Monroe
I hope we can both figure out how we want to use them 😊
First time viewer and within a minute, I subscribed and plan to binge-watch tonight. Your voice is so pleasant n easy to listen to, which is a huge decider for me on whether or not I will continue watching a video without muting! Looking forward to checking out the rest of your content.
Thank you Cindy and welcome! I hope you find some ideas shared that work for you ❤
FABULOUS finds. Hope you had a nice time getting out and going. I really want to start going to estate sales again
It was lovely to get out and spend some time with Brian. Thank you and I hope you find some wonderful estate sales very soon!
Fabulous finds!!!!
Agreed 😊
Thank you, Cori. What great “junk” you have found! I’m thrilled that you were there and was able to have these treasures accompany you home! Oh, boy! They found their way into the hands another collector, and admirer of vintage lace! Awesome! 😀💞
LOL. I intend to put those little beauties to work!
Wow! What a great haul! I live in NorCal so as you can imagine there is no such thing as a good bargain here 😂. In fact, triple the cost of your haul and that’s what it will cost here. So, I am thinking about taking a long drive out of state. Even with hotel, it will be cheaper 😂. What great finds! You are in my heart and mind during this difficult time. Hugs ❤️❤️
I just saw that there is a Great Junk Hunt in Roseville mid March....
Love your haul- great finds
Thanks so much!
Wow you found some amazing goodies! I've been to that junk hunt before 🥰
Definitely worth visiting!
Awesome treasures!❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Wow, in my neck of the woods and I missed you and it! Better luck another time.
There is one coming to Puyallup/WA state fairgrounds in April!
What a great haul!
Yes it was!
Such a coincidence that I would see this today. A friend asked if I would share some pieces of my cutter quilts with her. Sure! …..only when I actually got them out to start cutting, I could only bring myself to cut into two quilts of the eight I have. The others still look pretty…from a distance, I admit, but I just couldn’t do it. So my friend is getting some pieces of the two quilts that only had patches of intact fabric left. And the rest get stacked back in the vintage wardrobe I keep them in. Which, as I tell myself, really makes no sense.
But I bet those quilts look absolutely gorgeous in that vintage piece!. We’ll use them… when we’re ready ❤
Fabulous haul.
Thank you! 🤗
Beautiful.
Thank you!
Oh my, the gorgeous lace! Can’t wait to see what you create with some of these laces. I vote laces for your next project!
Thank you 😊
Wow Cori, the laces are just amazing! Most of them look to me like they could be from the late 1800s to early 1900s. I was drooling while watching. lol Great finds! TFS
I know they were a bit spendy, but they were too gorgeous to pass up. I’m looking forward to using them in a project or 10 😊
Oh my goodness!!! Love every one of your found treasures. Would love to see what you do with the handkerchiefs! Love all the lace! Thanks for sharing these wonderful finds! ❤❤❤
Thank you! Heidi McGregor is the queen of utilizing vintage hankies and lace, and I can only hope to do those beauties justice in their new life.
Oh the lace!! One can never have too much lace. Awesome haul. Thanks for sharing. 🤗💕
Lace bits are such happy things. Thank you 😊
What a great haul. I lived in Redmond, WA for many years and would visit Monroe and Snohomish quite often, two of my favorite places to antique. I miss them. I would love to spend a day with you in your craft room. It is amazing, as you are. In response to your last video … I love everything you make. Would love to see some one-sheet wonders and anything else you want to share. I have made one of your idea books and hope to make more. They are so much fun. ❤️
Thank you and I agree. Snohomish and Monroe are wonderful vintage-find towns. I also live Sumner and (further south) Battleground. I guess we just have a whole lot of options up here 😊
Coffee with Cori today!!
My favorite…time! Oh my goodness what a haul!! The laces are so gorgeous!!!! I am so glad to hear the excitement in your voice…thank you for sharing this great event!!
Are you interested in being a junk journal shopper???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It will get your juices flowing!!! My guess the letting go of all the beauty you find might be a little tuff!!!😂😂😂 love to you and your family!!! Sending prayers… healing energy… on this journey you are all traveling!!!💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘 wishing you could feel the hugs!!
Thank you so very much sweet Joy. That made me smile. Brian would probably burst a gasket if I became a "professional" JJ shopper. I hope you have a beautiful day ❤️
I’ve been to the junk hunt in Puyallup a couple times. Lots of amazing goodies there. 😊❤ nice scores! Puyallup one is coming up again in April I believe
It is and I’m already looking forward to attending!
Great finds, Cori. Those lace pieces are scrumptious. Can‘t wait to see them pop up in your future makes.
And pop ip they will. Well, I sure hope so anyway 😊
Oh my goodness, what a find, I share your excitement. I have a couple of boxes of old pieces and same don't like acrylic but that was a nice one you showed, obviously old. Thank you for the share, loved seeing what you found and sharing your song 🤣
Thank you and yes, I'm looking forward to adding them to some projects 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome haul. You got some stunning laces and I love the books, too! I can't wait to see what you do with these goodies...Continued prayers and hugs.
Thank you ❤️

You are so welcome. I'm looking forward to trying some different ideas with these beautiful bits.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I would be very interested in knowing more about the Snohomish sale in June. I tried to look it up, but couldn't find anything. The lace is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.❤
When I learn more I’ll definitely share what I find out!
Just Awesome x
Love you, my sweet and wonderful friend ❤️
@@CoriDahmen back at ya. Xx
Я ваши видео пересматриваю по многу раз, и был период я просто и день и ночь просматривала все ваши видео, очень потрясный у вас миникнижечки, суперские флипы, обалденные джанки..... Обязательно показывайте как вы это делаете это так дорого для нас!))
Большое спасибо. У меня в классе двое новых учеников из разных стран, которые говорят по-русски, и мне нравится красота вашего языка.
Keep us informed on the information for the city wide garage sale. That is only a few hours from me would be fun to go to.
I'll share what I find out!
Bingo ❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous lace and trims!!
Thank you! 😊
❤😊wowzers!!!!!
I got lucky with that haul, for sure!
Nice haul, Cori. Actually, I will be in Monroe next Thursday. Is there one antique store that you would suggest visiting over another? Snohomish has always been my go to place for vintage shopping, but never Monroe. Who knew!?
I've never been antiquing in Monroe. That was just the bi-annual Great Junk Hunt show at the fairgrounds. I also love Snohomish for antique shops ❤️
❤❤❤
😍❤️
❤🎉❤🎉❤ hugs
Thank you ❤️
❤😂
Hi Cori, your finds are fantastic but the prices you pay are very high. Are you on the East Coast? Midwest prices are super affordable at estate sales and flea markets.
Hi. I'm on the west coast, in WA, and those are a bit higher than I usually pay, but they are so beautiful and old that I couldn't resist. I do go to the midwest a few times a year for treasure hunting and I've found some fabulous things.
Great junk! Hey Cori, where did you get you paper hole punch you have a tiny one what size is that??
Thank you and which hole punch are you referring to?
@@CoriDahmen Hi, you have tiny ones not sure I want to buy but I don’t know sizes of tiny punches.
There single hole punch
LACE ❤❤❤❤
Agreed/ Lace is definitely heart worthy ❤️
What do you mean by "card" when you say put lace on a piece of card?
I generally store lace on vintage wooden spools, or in rolls depending on size, but I also sometimes use lace cards, which many people make and have patterns for. If you search on YT for "lace cards" I'm sure you'll find many examples.
