I love junk, and I enjoy shopping for great deals. My favorite place to shop near my home is my local Vendors’ Village.
This is how they describe themselves on their site:
Vendors' Village is an antique and vendor mall with locations in Kentucky and Indiana. We carry an eclectic variety of items: primitive furniture, antiques & decor.
On one of my recent visits to Vendors’ Village I got some great stuff that I shared on Facebook. While sharing on there, I tagged Vendors’ Village, and they saw my post. The stores are owned by two brothers, Eli and Matt. They contacted me and offered me a $200 shopping spree to their brand new location in Clarksville Indiana. I was so excited! Their grand opening was on February 1, 2016. If you are in the area, and you are looking to open a booth to sell your stuff, I really think you should contact them. The store is huge, bright, and clean.
Cousin Terry went with me, and we had a great day!
They served coffee and doughnuts for the grand opening. The gentleman serving them is Matt and Eli’s dad.
I love a lot of stuff in this booth of vintage goodies.
Of course I was drawn to this booth of furniture.
If only I needed paint!
(have you seen my stash of paint?)
I’ve always loved this type of photography. I even did it once, as a gift for Jamie and Andy’s wedding. You can read about it in my post Alphabet Photography Letters.
These vintage chairs caught my eye immediately—I think there may have been an actual happy dance involved. 
I enjoyed looking at all of these primitive cupboards.
Doesn’t everyone need a velvet wing chair?
Remember, I visited on their grand opening day—and we had had two snow storms the week before. It appears that may have deterred several new vendors from stocking their booths. Look how nice, clean and organized it is! See the Clarksville Facebook Page Here.
You can reach out to the stores on their facebook page, or at Vendors’Village.com.
Now, are you ready to see what came home with me?
Terry found this $10 floor lamp for me. (she loves helping me spend my money)
Terry stopped to look at a table and chairs. Notice how bright and clean the store is.
We actually drove Terry’s truck because I wanted to make sure I had plenty of room to bring stuff home. When we got back to Terry’s house, we unloaded her truck and moved all my goodies into my SUV.
We are pretty good packing, don’t you think?
While we were out for the day we made a few other stops. Check out everything that came out of my vehicle.
Here are all the goodies we picked up on this wonderful day of thrift shopping! Are you shocked that we were able to get all of this in my car?
Another view?
The books will be painted, the chairs . . . a bench? The rubber mat is for the basement shop. The sewing cabinet has already had it’s makeover, check back tomorrow. Everything else will get some kind of makeover in due time. 
I would like to thank Vendors’ Village for a fun day of shopping, I can’t wait to visit again.
I wish this was closer to me! Looks like a ton of good finds!
What a lucky girl are you to be given a $200 shopping spree!
Oh maaaaaan--I know you had a ball!
I'm totally in love with the floor lamp--

Catherine,
It was so much fun! BUT, I guess I forgot to mention that I didn't spend all the money. I only spent about $80. So, I will be going back one day very soon to finish my "spree". 🙂

I can't figure out which one of you the velvet wing back went home with?
Me! Cousin Terry didn't buy anything at Vendors' Village. 🙂
You got a lot of good stuff. Isn't it funny how we learn to load our SUV's up. I used to go to Jeff once a month and I always made my last stop Vendors and I always loaded my SUV up with goodies. Vendors is my favorite place to go. If your looking for something nothing in particular you will find it and more at Vendors, haha, but true.
Patty,
I totally agree! We do learn our own vehicles capacity. 🙂
Yep, Vendors' Village has something for everyone.

I'm curious to see what you do with the lamp
I have a plan. But I need a few more components for it. 🙂
Can't wait!
that is great that they invited you to a shopping spree! love all the stuff you got! i am going to have to make a trip there to see if i can find some treasures of my own.
How fun for you!!! A shopping spree, so cool!! I love all your finds, you will do amazing things with them, can't wait! I would love a mat like that where I work...er, I guess I would need several of them! ha ha!
Mindi,
The mat is for the basement shop and will help keep my feet off the cold, cold floor while I'm standing. I don't get so cold while I'm moving, but while standing at the work bench my toes get cold! 🙂

Quite the haul!
I'm trying to talk my husband into going to Ohio and Indiana this summer to do some junkin'. Should Kentucky be on the list, too?
Kirby,
I would just look for places that have these type of malls. You can get some really good deals, and the selection (in my opinion) is fantastic. The Vendors' Village near my house is my favorite place to shop, look around, and just kill some time when I'm bored! It's a win/win/win!
Oh my Goodness Gail! That floor lamp was mine and almost didn't make it to the booth due to snow. I cant wait to see what you do with it!
Angela,
How fun! thanks so much for stopping by to let me know that! I have great plans for that lamp! stay tuned . . .
I have been to their Jeffersonville location before! I'm adding their Danville location to my list for the 127 sale!
My favorite location is only a couple of miles from my house, and I visit there often . 🙂 I've never done the 127.... maybe someday.
Lots of goodies! I love old chairs, they are my favorite.
Lisa
me too... I can never pass up a good chair!
