If the words “industrial,” “salvaged” and “rustic” mean anything to you, it’s time to get a-pickin’ and a-grinnin’ through piles of seemingly useless yet fantastic junk.

Television shows like American Pickers and The Picker Sisters romanticize knocking on a hoarder’s door and haggling for vintage goods, but thanks to the annual Funky Junk Antique Show, you can pick with good conscience.

Plus, the vintage arts and crafts and collections are kitschy, glamorous and mostly affordable.  Check out the showApril 14-15 from 10 am-4 pm at the Spokane Public Market (24 W. Second Ave. ). Tickets: $2
