Wow! What a weekend. This was my seventh year as a vendor for Crafty Wonderland and once more it did not disappoint. 20,000 was the official count for weekend customers. They added a Friday night early buying event this year so it was a long weekend. Long, but awesome. I arrived at 10 a.m. on Friday to set up. Customers came through the doors that night from 5-9. I was ready for them.
Saturday and Sunday the show was from 11-6. I had a helper both days. It was great to see so many people that read my blog or follow me on Instagram. It was just a really fun show. Here come the photos.
This black shelf is the perfect place to display Ethelville.
I switched up my colors a bit this year too. I used a pink/coral curtain for my backdrop. I found a bunch of green netting table covers with white ball fringe in estate sale land this summer. I used that with white tablecloths and really liked the color combination.
Crafty Wonderland also means my show season is over for the year. It is a 6 week period of hard work. All Saints, Plucky Maidens, Laurelhurst, Etsy, the front window at Monticello Antique Mall and then Crafty Wonderland...I'm a busy gal.
Tis the season.
Thank you to all who help support my little business and who follow along with me on my blog, Facebook and Instagram. Happy holidays.
What a season it's been for you. Congratulations on spreading some amazing Christmas cheer to your faithful customers and Magpie groupies!

What great treasures you create. But I think the truth is about to get out. You are the real Mrs. Santa Claus. Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

I am so glad I found your blog - your style is amazing and I love all the vintage items that you repurpose!

Oh yes, it is different. In your wisdom, you have gone vertical. Much better space utilization! My training is in interior design and I was torn about the plain white tablecloths of years past. I know your booth is very busy so a peaceful backdrop is nice and doesn't detract from the merchandise, but I'm also a vintage fabric lover, so part of me wants to see some raging kitchy vintage Christmas tablecloths. However, perhaps you have found the perfect solution - I do love the solid minty tablecloths with the ball fringe on each table which help to unify the glittery chaos. Is that tulle I see? Did Amy make them for you? :) Good job - I bet this booth takes longer to set up than the one in 2010. Any new and improved ideas coming this year? Hmmm... I have some vintage santa face border print that would be cute... and busy only at hem of the table cloth... (always thinking)
