Vintage Flea & Finds Market

The first Vintage Flea & Finds Market was a great success.  Held yesterday in Madison, the show drew a steady stream of shoppers who had a wide variety of vintage goods to view and purchase.

My friend, Julie, brought her new line of jewelry - "Miss Julie's Charm School".  Customers were thrilled to be able to design their own necklaces by choosing their chain and charms.  Her jewelry was a hit!!

I was happy with my sales and with the many shoppers who stopped by our booth.  It was fun to meet and chat with the other vendors and our customers.

Here are some shots of our booth:

 

Vintage Flea & Finds Market Preview

I am busy preparing for the upcoming Vintage Flea & Finds Market to be held on April 21st in Madison.  I thought I would provide a sneak preview of some of the items I will be selling at the market.  I will have a variety of vintage items - from flags, fencing and funnels to signs, suitcases, soda bottles - and everything in between.  Click on the icon on the right for more information and to view the other vendors who will be at the show.  Hope you can make it!

Junking Trip

I traveled down to Dixon, Illinois, yesterday to visit a very good friend and her family.  Besides catching up on recent news, we had junking on our minds.  I found some fun items that I will be listing in our Etsy shop - or saving for my booth at the first ever Vintage Flea & Finds Market to be held in Madison, Wisconsin, on April 21st.  If you will be in the area, be sure to mark your calendar for this event.  Coming soon: you will be able to view more information about the market and dealers at http://www.vintagefleaandfinds.com/.

Thinking Spring

Despite our biggest snowstorm of the season yesterday, our thoughts have already turned to spring.  We have some fun gardening items listed in our Etsy shop and found other delightful offerings in additional Etsy shops.  I hope you are inspired to start your spring decorating.
