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:
