Nature....

we had a blast today at the

Vintage Gatherings

weather and all.

i will be honest,

yesterday was not easy for

me... the weather, the mud,

the hole in the middle of 

our space, that if it had 

been a warmer day it would have

been a mosquitos dreamy hang

out and a few tears of stress.

After a make shift wood "floor"

my mom made, a wonderful

rag rug Kathy leant us, 

some creative plastic bubble

building with help from my mom

and Amy

we accomplished to get it all set 

up and ready for saturday.

we had some crazy

wind issues today and

with help from friends,

strangers and family

we saved most everything,

got the canopy situation figured 

out and the space re-merchandised.

the best part as we were trying to save 

the canopy and all of our treasures

people were still shopping.

all i could do was laugh and 

thank everyone for helping us out.

i can't wait till the next one

and so wish it would be in june

versus july.

oh well, july will give me time

to stalk up and find some more

wonderful things to bring to the next

Vintage Gathering.

here are some pics from the market.

ciao,

peek....

only one more day

and it will be time for

A Vintage Gathering.

i'm finally letting myself

get excited.

see, work has been rather busy

this week and if i let myself

start thinking about 

Bee & Mason

then it makes it that much

harder to concentrate on work.

sounds strange but when you need 

to get through the week with 

a mile long list of expectations

and due dates 

you kind of need to find a way to cope.

now that the majority of my week

is behind me

i am finally letting myself

think about the show this 

saturday.

AND I AM EXCITED!!!!!

thought i would give you a sneak peek

of what you will find this weekend

at 

A Vintage Gathering!

don't forget

saturday from 8-4

in battleground, wa.

ciao,

Gathering....

sometime during the Junk Salvation show

i decided to do the May 28th Vintage Gathering Show

with my friend Amy from Poppy & Ivy.

i'm not sure if it was a cause of the vintage

junk show high or lack of sunshine but 

figured what the hay

let's do another show in two weeks

outside in southern Washington in May.

i might be a bit crazy but that's the thing

with us vintage loving folk

we can't turn down a good opportunity 

to shop or in this case sell 

beautiful vintage!

so with that being said,

come out rain or shine 

to Battleground, Washington

and shop the Vintage Gathering show.

we don't melt and god knows we love any bit

of sun.

A Vintage Gathering

that's where you will find me on Saturday.

Ciao,

curling....

i went to a local, small flea market

this morning hoping to find a 

few treasures.

it's their last one for the season so 

you know why i had to go.

i found the most interesting thing.

well, i found it most interesting.

i've never seen one and i thought

it was quite beautiful as well.

ok, your probably wondering if 

i will ever get to the point.

a late 1800's early 1900's curling basket.

they would use it to carry their curling stone.

hand forged buckle

perfect basket

beautiful patina on the leather

maybe it will sit here for awhile

ciao,

Twilight....

cleaning out the "studio" 

(sounds better then garage)

today and taking all kinds 

of great junque

to sell at the 

Twilight Rummage Sale

at the Eagles Lodge on 4904 SE Hawthorne Blvd.

from 4-8.

Come by have a drink, listen to some great

tunes, find some cool junque you can't live without

and say hi.

Ciao,

Salvation....

Junk Salvation....

well i have to say my first show

was a success and a blast.

we had so much fun, 

met some great people

and learned a lot about

how these things work.

quite proud of us.

we were as prepared as we could

have been and the whole thing

went off with out a hitch, 

down to the rain not starting until

the last item went into the trailer.

now the pictures i know you all

have been dying to see.

well maybe not literally but

here they are.

see what you missed. 

:-)

the whole space

who would have thought grass would have been so popular, sold almost all.

in jail

what do you think?

hope you enjoyed it.

i know we did.

ciao,
