Sunday was The Vintage Bazaar! Thanks to all who made it out, and an extra huge thanks to my booth partner of the day, my mom, Mary.  I couldn't have done it without her and it was really nice to do this show with her. She loves vintage just as much as I do.

I'm still learning a lot, as this was my second time selling vintage in person.. next time I may have to suck it up and cut down on the amount of housewares that I bring...I am SUCH a sucker for vintage housewares, especially dishes, but they don't seem to sell quick enough for me to warrant the space and time it takes to pack them, etc.. We'll see.. It's really difficult for me to leave anything at home! My heart keeps suggesting, 'But what if today is the day for the gorgeous set of vintage glassware to meet the one??' Because things like that DO happen, haha! For example, I sold an absolutely beautiful vintage embroidered dress to a woman that was made to own that piece. It was a wonderful feeling..She tried it on over her clothing and even people who were walking by stopped to gawk at how lovely it was on her. One gentleman even came back a bit later to make sure that she had purchased it! She definitely was the one for that dress.

It was a great show and seriously, an amazing selection of vintage. It is kind of masochistic of me to vend at this event rather than shop... So many great vendors- check out the list, most of them also sell online!

I am still very tired from the weekend....and it's countdown time 'til Renegade on Sept. 11 and 12!!

  1. Your setup looks great, sad I couldn't make it. My mom wanted to go to the Sandwich Antique Fair, which was a sad sad skeleton of the former glory. Also, people didn't snap up housewears?! Totally my fav. thing, I'm on the lookout for ones to do with bees + honey, but never have much luck.

  5. Wow, girl! That's a lot of stuff!! For some reason I wasn't picturing that much stuff (maybe because when I've done rummage sales I just have a tiny trunk & a bit of table). It all looks so good! I love housewares! Wish I could have been there, I would have accumulated a ton of pretty things, I bet.
