Hello…Anyone out there!

Yes, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been on here.  This summer has been a whirlwind of travel, work, painting, shows, more travel, pickin and on and on and on…

I seriously am not whining!  It’s just that I don’t really spend too much time on the computer these days…no Pinterest, no Facebook stalking… no blogging!  I do try to post at least once or twice a week on Facebook, but my time is mostly spent away from my desk. 

So, I thought I would check in because, truthfully, I’m quite excited for an event coming up that I had to take time to jump on here and share it with you!

Tomorrow we head out to Hendersonville, Tennessee for the show that started it all!  February’s show was a huge success, and has led to a summer filled with similar venues in Ohio and Indianapolis.

Here are a couple of images from our booth this past February.

Be sure to check out their Facebook page for all of the details:

There are many new vendors joining the lineup this time…and a great opportunity to start some Christmas shopping!

Comings and Goings…

Wow…has it really been 6 weeks since I’ve been on here?  Time flies when you’re having fun, right!

We’ve been busy bees with shows, family and life in general.  Seems like only a short time ago we were finalizing our show schedule and here we are in the thick of it!

We’re very excited to now have a great new event right here in my hometown!  Indianapolis has been without a venue featuring vintage goodies, but now there is a new monthly street market that you won’t want to miss…

“Join a select group of invited purveyors of vintage, antique, junque, artisans, craftspersons, local gourmands, stylemakers and stylebreakers for a monthly celebration of all things unique, indie & stylish.”

Couldn’t describe it better myself! 

 

Be sure to visit us this Saturday for a fun day of shopping, music and great food.  The line-up of vendors is impressive and you will love the “street market” vibe…very hip, very urban, very cool!

You will find us under the first large tent to the left of the entrance. Read more about it here:

The Vintage Marketplace at the Springfield Extravaganza

You may remember we participated in the Vintage Marketplace’s debut show in Nashville back in February.  Due to it’s huge success they are also presenting this event at the Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market May Extravaganza in Springfield, Ohio.  We are very excited to be participating in this event and wanted to share it with all of you!

 

The Springfield Extravaganza has been running for many years and features nearly 2000 dealers and 20,000 customers each May and September. The Vintage Marketplace will feature a select group of vendors who will be set up in the center of the show area (between the buildings) under large tents with fabric walls.  This “show within a show” highlights unique and creative ways to incorporate vintage home decor, antiques and junk finds into your home.

Sue Whitney of the popular JUNKMARKET Style and author of the Junk Beautiful Series will also be on hand for a weekend packed full of inspiration, creativity and fun!  Events include a barn dance, treasure hunt, painting demos, Vintage Bingo, workshops and much more.

Be sure to check out these blog sites for all of the details and more information.  It’s a weekend you won’t want to miss! 

Here are a few things we’re working on for the show…
