Remember those 1o great Ugly Lamps from the spring issue of Flea Market Style? They took a road trip last week to the Junk Bonanza in Shakopee, Minn.!
They starred in an Ugly Lamp Contest! Don't you love the Vote Here lampshade? It was designed by Tieran Haskin of Olive & Company, the Bonanza's go-to shop for graphics and design!
Attendees voted during the three-day event!
Do you know which one you would pick?
The owl won it handily!
Check out the Junk Bonanza Blog for more on the ugly lamps, including the name of the, er, lucky winner!

That is great so many voted. The owl lamp would look great in an all white decor!
Oh my gosh! How fun:) I would have loved to go to the Junk Bonanaza! Maybe next year:)
What a coincidence...The owl lamp would look great with the macrame owl I just posted this week. Check him out...

I hate owl decor.. Sooooooo would have picked that one.
Ewwwww...owl decor. I remember buying my Mom a set of white alabaster owl figurines with red jewel eyes for Christmas back in the 70's.
I like the owl! Ugly, yes but stylish! Fun contest!
If that owl lamp was painted white and had a new burlap shade, it would be so adorable. andrea@townandprairie
I love the owl lamp. Agree with another poster that it should be painted white and then add burlap shade. I think the blue lamp should have won "ugly" award.
I passed up an owl lamp JUST like that one yesterday. totally should have got it.
Off to a flea market in Tustin tomorrow--can't wait for the vintage clothes, furniture and fun =)
I love the owl lamp...so me!!!

What a hoot (pun not intended, but there it is)! I flagged the ugly/cool lamps page in the magazine because my mother-in-law has an owl lamp just like that one. Little does she know that this is considered retro-cool now! In her mind it's a perfectly good lamp that still works just fine.

Are there back issues of the first magazine available online? I would love to get one.
What a fun idea..... hopefully none of those lamps are still in someones home and being used lol
I JUST bought an ugly lamp and thought of this article! It is a large kitchen scale with a lamp arm attached. So random!
I love the owl lamp it is completely tack-a-liscious (in a good way). I know many a hipster that would kick a kitten to put those owls in their digs. Fun contest! My mom (who was here so we could go to the Roundtop/Warrington Flea market outside of Austin) brought your magazine to my house and I fell in love with those suitcase shelves.
The owl lamp would look great with the macrame owl. Just near to owl lamp, their is wonderful lamp you kept, it is exquisite in combo of various colours.
You know what's really bad? I have that owl lamp in my shop right now! LOL!
All the lamps are very much nice. I like it very much. They are made with some unique colours combinations and design.
The owl lamp would look best with the macrame owl. Just near to owl lamp, their is beautiful lamp you kept, it is admirable in combo of different colours.
