I had a fun day today. I am sharing a space at Monticello Antique Mall with Amy, from Into Vintage. She has had a space at Monticello for guite awhile, but I am joining forces with her for the holidays. Today was the day we set up our spot.
Our goal for the day was to have a spot that screamed happy, colorful vintage holiday...I think we achieved that.
A wall of true sparkle.
I only have vintage items for now in this spot. All of my other shows stipulate handmade items so I am crafting like a madwoman for those. I may end up putting some handmade items in Monticello eventually, but for now that handmade inventory is headed to my craft shows.
I'm shaking! LOL I Sooooo want to be there I don't even have words!
OK- heading back to study each picture again. You ROCKED this booth! I want that roll of tree paper the most!

I want to be standing in your booth in the worst way. It's pure vintage Christmas magic. What a gorgeous happy display.

Can I do a phone order? I'll just text you what I want! HA!!
I am now looking for reasons to head up to Portland. Okay, like coming to your guys' booth isn't reason enough. I CAN'T WAIT!! I will be in Astoria the weekend of the All Saints show. Wonder if I can't talk Hanna into taking the drive down? If not, I will see you at the Laurelhurst show. What can you tell me about it? Are you doing Plucky this year?

It looks wonderful! I love all your goodies! I just scored some pink ornies this weekend, so happy because I have been wanting to make a pastel ornament wreath for my booth and have had a hard time finding them.
I love the spring-ornament display...awesome!

None of the antique malls I visit here carry so much vintage Christmas. I would be in absolute heaven! Looks amazing...and not one, but two blowmold Santa cookie jars! I have one...and it's one of my treasures.

I officially need an old bed spring for my mall space so I can display ornaments. I was just thinking about what I needed. :)

See that space on the floor under the bed springs between the stools? Well, that's where I would just lay down and refuse to leave if I ever, ever, ever saw a booth chock full of vintage Christmas like this one. Holey Moley it is fantastic! I would love for my booth to look like this at Christmas, but I can't bear to sell much of my vintage goods. (I don't hit the Motherload like you do - you lucky, lucky ducky!) I hope you do GREAT!

Wonder how much a ticket is to Portland ....

I can't wait to get there in person, I already spotted a couple things I "need" - hehe!
Posted by: Kathy | October 30, 2013 at 12:42 PM
I am in awe. Truly.

Looks great! That's a BIG job to cross off your list. I'll try to find time to check it out. The bed springs make a great display for ornies.
