JUNKMARKET Style / Otten Bros. Retail Collaboration

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrate the return of JUNKMARKET to Long Lake, MN, two short blocks from where it all began ten years ago. We have united JUNKMARKET materials from the past – flea market finds and roadside cast-offs with Otten Bros. fresh retail home and garden goodies and repurposed them into lasting and stylish decor for your indoor and outdoor enjoyment. The unveiling began in November with a very well attended and received event, "JUNKMARKET, Home for the Holidays". JUNKMARKET Style's, Sue Whitney presented the art of decorating your home for the holidays in an easy, approachable, affordable, and elegant manner. Tree trimming, wreath ornamentation, gift wrapping, and holiday tabletop ideas await you throughout the holiday season at Otten Bros. Garden Center and Landscaping.

Wait there's more! Sue Whitney, founder and editor of JUNKMARKET Style, (junkmarketstyle.com) and nationally recognized author of three decor books will continue on at Otten Bros. Look for inspired vignettes throughout the Otten Bros. show floor and greenhouse featuring the innovative JUNKMARKET approach to design. Old will meet new month after month with an eye towards functionality, sustainability, and stylishly good taste.

Future Aspirations

Other major events are in the works. A trunk show featuring local jewelers and artisans is scheduled for January 29, 2011. Plans for the first of its kind, Flea Market Under Glass, a true blue flea market are well under way. Imagine a Minnesota vintage shopping experience in March, 2011! The Otten Bros. fully heated 15,000 square foot greenhouse is slated to be the venue for this "March Madness" event. A "Made in the Midwest" event to be held in September, 2011 is also in the offing. The planning for this event is taking a turn towards life in the slow lane. The amalgamation of familiar flea market vendors, local Midwest food and product producers, along with community wine makers is our objective. An event to nourish all senses should be the end result.  For more details as they unfold stay tuned to http://www.ottenbros.com/contact.html.
