Kansas City is mainly known for their BBQ and mediocre sports teams, but what it should really be known for is this gem of a store located just west of downtown. Once inside it's bright green doors you'll find any treasure you could possibly desire. People trek in from all parts of the country and their parking lot is full of out of state plates and people making their third trip back into the store for more. Best of all, it's packed with repurposed and salvaged items at
ridiculously great prices!
Ready to see what's inside?
The Good Ju Ju opens at 9am (be there early for first pick!), is only open one weekend a month and although some may wish it was open more, it's a feast for the senses each time you visit. Their stock is so well priced it literally rotates 2-3 times a weekend. There's also live music on the First Friday of every month and is a great stop if you happen to be in town to check out galleries.
It's owned and operated by Trish Moore who acts as the crafty den mother for an army of vendors which are all on available for questions or concerns. The staff has filled the main floor of a once-was Burlap Building from floor to ceiling with their finds and creations. They are packed wall to wall with vintage, antique and mid-century items, unique home decor, fresh flowers, architectural findings and assorted nonsense (which is always our favorite part).
You can hop on their mailing list and find out more details on the store at the Good Ju Ju website.

So weird! I just got home from Good JuJu and did a post on my finds! Steven and I have our Date Day the first Friday of every month. We hit Danny Edwards BBQ for the BEST BBQ in the world, and then shop at Good Ju Ju. The vendors know us there and always ask how "date day" is going, and how our boys are doing. lol.
Here is what I got this month:
