Putting on the Red White and Blue......

  We love the color RED!   It's always fun to put away the colors of spring and pull out the wonderful RICH colors of summer!

June 14th is FLAG DAY and the 4th of July is just around the corner. We enjoy seeing all the flags and decorations on peoples homes and porches. Red, white and blue everywhere. It makes me feel proud and grateful for our country.

We got in another shipment of our great prim American flags just in time for your summer decorating!  We have 13 star and 50 star flags in large and small sizes for your home, table or yard, and all feature an antiqued, tea-stained look.

Show your American pride with a flag from The Country Junction!

Something to share

Most of you that know me, know I spend a lot of time online. LOL
But during that time online I find a LOT of cool things! So I thought why not start sharing some of my finds here with you all!! There are a LOT of gorgeous prim homes and many have pictures of their homes in online albums. I thought it would be fun to share some of the ones I've run across here. Please feel free to leave comments about what you see or if you have ideas!

The first home tour I want to share has been a long time favorite of mine! I've met Stacee at a few markets, she's a really sweet person and has such a beautiful home.
So grab a cup off coffee on this COLD WINDY day and click here to view her album.

After you finish drooling over the home tour, how about a craft project?
Jill, of Fruit of her Hands has posted an online tutorial on making waxed eggs.
What a GREAT prim project, just in time for easter!
Here is her online tutorial

See how cute these look!

Rooster Country!

If you have a passion for roosters, like we do, decorating with roosters makes for a colorful, fun country look that's really something to crow about. Roosters can be the theme in any room, but is most often seen in the kitchen. The shop is filled with many rooster items and styles to choose from, but I thought I'd share some of the new rooster items that have recently come in that any rooster enthusiast would LOVE! Everything from plates, mugs, and pitchers, to dish towels, hooks, salt and pepper shakers and prints, large and small roosters and everything in between! (click the pictures for more detail)

~Breath of Fresh Air~

All of this mild "spring like" weather we've been having in St. Louis is like a breath of fresh air and is just what we all need to lift us out of any post-holiday doldrums.

The first stirrings of Spring are making their appearance at The Country Junction. Come in for a glimpse of what's newly arrived and what's to come...from garden pots and colorful early-blooming tulips and Gerber daisies to new framed prints and Spring accents for your home. New shipments are arriving weekly, while last season's finds are on the move...right out the shop door!



Come and get it while the getting is good: all Christmas and holiday items are still 50% OFF. In addition, the Johnston Benchworks upholstered pieces are 40% OFF. The shop is looking a bit lean and spare as we make room for the new influx, and I keep having to remind myself that this is the time for sales and that barer-than-usual shelves only mean we can all look forward to the new season full!

40% off Johnston Benchworks Upholstered Furniture!

We will no longer be carrying Johnston Benchworks upholstered furniture - so we are selling all remaining instock pieces at 40% off msrp.

We will continue to sell and take orders on Dunroven House upholstered furniture, as well as, introducing a new line of upholstered furniture after the first of the year! - We are VERY excited about this line and know you will be too!!

So if you've been eyeing up a piece in the store, now is the time to grab it! at 40% off, once it's gone, it's gone! (no layaway, no holds and no special orders)

I thought I would post pictures of the Johnston Benchwork pieces we currently have in stock. (you can click the pictures to see them larger)
