A Vintage Gathering: THE BEST

Of all the times for my camera to fail!!!

I am hoping someone will send me pictures

to share with you.

This sale was the best by far.  We had the

most wonderful vendors and we all had

a very good sale.  We were busier than ever

and people came from far and wide to

visit us.  We are so grateful for our superior

customers.  The weather was perfect, too!

I met two bloggers that I have followed for

a long time. First I met Liz from

Seabold Vintage Market.  Liz was doing the

Barn House show up the road and came by

on Fri. with her husband and their sweet

daughter Hattie.  We have been trying to

meet up for a few years and this was a

wonderful surprise.  It is like seeing

an old friend you haven't seen in a long

time.  Wish we had more time to visit!!

Second was Teresa from Meadowbrook Farm.

She is from Montana and was doing a sweep

through the northwest that included coming to

A Vintage Gathering.  Again, it was like seeing

an old friend. And again, I wish we had more

time to visit!

I learned that these two women are as

wonderful as their blogs make them seem.  My sale

was the best I've ever had money wise, but

the real treasure was meeting these two and seeing

so many other friends and customers.

This was the last show I will do. There, I've

told the world!  My mind can handle most

of it but my body can't.  Today I feel sore and

tired and exhausted.  Doing these shows takes

hours of work and effort so please always

be kind to the vendors you see.  They have

put alot into the show.

I will post pictures (hopefully) later.  Thank you

to everyone who came to see me and all the

other vendors who shared in the wonderful

experience.  All of you made this special!!

My "Sort of" sneak peek for a Vintage Gathering

Modern technology has gotten me again!!

I got things put out so I could take a few pics

and my camera decided to die.  So, I changed

the batteries and it still wouldn't work right.

So, here is all I have:

I will tell you what I am bringing.

Small furnature, chairs, shelves, big
signs, shutters, linens, pictures and
frames, books, many, many smalls,
(including things for 25 cents), boxes,
cases, dishes, stools, headboard, baskets,
and the list goes on.  I'm still working
on things so see ya there!!

Home

We came home from vacation and

found our yard had exploded with blooms.

The hydrangea has never had so many
blooms.

So pretty...

Clematis

Fucshia

Bee Balm's first year.

Colorful

These were just leaves when
we left.

Roses

Our tree in bloom (really a
clematis).

Grasses and ferns are happy.

We have a huge yard and
not all of it has been  "done". These blooms
are dandelions and a volunteer tree.

This lovely orchid is in the sun room.

And it smells great!


I will not blog for a while because I am
working on things for A Vintage
Gathering  which is July 27 and 28th.

Please see the blog at avintagegathering.blogspot.com
and/or our FB page http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Vintage-Gathering/374701949207433

I'll be back later...in the meantime, please share
your smile :>)

So Proud

Once upon a time there was a

group of friends who decided

to have a flea market.  It went well,

so they decided to have another.

Then they figured they needed a name.

A Vintage Gathering  was born.

Look at us now!!  We have a 2
page spread in the fall issue of
Romantic Country magazine.

Best Vintage Flea Markets
Coast to Coast.


I am so proud to be a part of the
original group and to be able
to see this grow so that we have
many more vendors and get
national press.

Sue Hagood of BirdSong spoke to
the magazine about our shows.
Amy Kozma of  Into Vintage
put our name in the hat for
this honor.  Thanks to both of
you and to Romantic Country!!!

SO PROUD  :>)



What to Post...

Sometimes I don't post because I

really don't think anything in my

little universe is worth posting

about.  But why not just post anyway...

no one has to read it...

Mr. Attic and I have been working in our yard.
Summer came for two days.  This part looks
great, 

this, not so much.  We have a huge
yard  (his choice) and doing the
upkeep is difficult for two people.
Especially when you let it go too
long and the weeds are bigger
than the plants.....

This view is out the side of our
house to our field.

Swing the camera just to the right
and you can see the weeds.  The
large sheet of cardboard is where
I paint things for Andy's Attic.

I made a little hay while the sun
was out...need more sun!!

Threw in the orchid picture because
I really like them...very sweet.


So now the rain is back and I am inside...
cleaning house  :>(

Hope everyone has a fun weekend.  Share
your smile with a stranger  :>)

Been out of touch

My friend Sue, from BirdSong, reminded me

today that I have not blogged in forever.  I have been busy with the home front and a little lazy.

Fluffed my space today so here are

some pictures.

Ready for the Fourth of July.  I really don't
have much for this holiday. (sorry about the blur)

These card are so fun.  Some have numbers
and some just have the sound a letter
makes. Great graphics from 1971.

If only I had a cabin, this would be on a bench.

These are all available at Rusty Glamour.

The shop is constantly adding new
items so come on over if you get a chance.
