Camas Redo...Come And See

My booth in Camas has once again been redone.  Took some stuff out, put some new smalls in.  What I did add were fruit crates to my wall so that there was a bit of a new backdrop to some of the new and unusual items I brought in.  Lots of rosaries from France, bird cage, scrabble tiles and lots of other smalls.  The fruit crates are available by order at $5  per piece.  Just let them know how many you would like and I will bring them in for you.  The crates are filled with little berry cartons made of thin wood.  Very cute.  So if you would like to purchase some, please let them know at Camas and I will get them to you as quick as I can.  Don't miss out on some of the items that I have marked down, too.  Large brown armoire has been reduced, as well as, some other great pieces. 

Finally Its Happened To Me

Just like the disco song says, "Finally its happened to me...blah, blah, blah." I have been given a permanent spot at Monticello Antiques.  This makes me extremely happy, nervous, excited (and the list goes on).

This has always been a goal of mine to be in Monticello along with all those other very talented vendors .
I, myself, am not NEARLY as talented as they are but I will be giving it the old college try.  The move in date is October 1 or thereabouts, as I am participating in the Monticello Fall Premier Show that starts tomorrow.

That being said, please make sure that you get to Monticello tomorrow and join in the fun and excitement that is the Fall Premier Show.  Lots of great merchandise, displays and inspiration will surround you once you have entered the magical garden area.

Stop by my booth and have a look to see what new and interesting items I have to offer you all.

Enjoy........................

Monticello Fall Premier Show

I am very excited to be a part of the Monticello Fall Premier Show.  This is my first time being in a Monticello show and I couldn't be happier.

This certainly will be a show that should not be missed.  September 9 thru October 2, girls; mark your calendars and be sure to make a date to be there more than once during the shows entirety.

New stuff will be coming in all the time so don't you dare miss it.

I just hope I can keep up with all the other talented vendors who will be there, too!

Changing My Look At Camas Antiques.....again

My Camas Antiques Booth(s)

Well, as I promised, here is the redo of my Camas space.  Lots and lots of new things to pick from.  Blue Ball jars galore, pillows and lots and lots of galvanized everything.  The green/blue cabinet in the back is just the right style for someone with a like for color and unique style.  The gustavian grey buffet in the foreground is a wonderful piece as an addition to a dining room.  Also don't forget the funky bread rack......just perfect.

Come visit and shop real soon before everything is gone !
Also, don't forget my other wall space with scrabble tile pendants and spoon pendants.  It is called Gifty Chix and is located right next to the checkout counter.  Some fun stuff.

FARM CHICKS SHOW JUNE 2011

Well, the week is moving along very quickly and my schedule has just gotten 1 show fuller. 

I am doing the Farm Chicks show in June and I couldn't be happier.  This is the first really far away show I have done and, as much as it will be a challenge, I am sure it will be the greatest thing ever.  Lots of stuff to buy and things to do but what a blast it will be.

There will be promotional information available in my booth at Camas Antiques very shortly.  So be sure to mark June 4 and 5 on your calendar to be in Spokane for this fabulous show.

Hope to see you there.

We will not be in the hangar this month so it will be WARM!!!!
Come prepared to shop for Christmas treasures for you and all your friends.

See you there...................................................................

Camas Vintage Faire........What a blast!!!!!!

I had the most amazing time at this year's Camas Vintage Faire.  Not only was is superb weather but our customers flocked to our booth in record numbers.  New customers and old customers, they all came to look and buy our goods.  It was incredible.  Merchandise flew out the door (so to speak) and we loved every single minute of it. 

Our booth was filled to the brime with new items that we knew would sell out right away.  Here are a few photos of the booth at the beginning of the day.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I was way to busy to take any other pictures during the rest of the day because I was with customers.

I met some new people and was able to put names to faces with some of the vendors that I had heard so much about but had never officially met.  That was great fun.

Most of all, we would like to thank Laurie and Debbie of Worthy Goods for organizing this great show once again and making it so much fun.  All the vendors who participated seem to be having as good a time as we were so I think it is safe to say that a good time was had by all!!!!

See you next year.............................

Vintage has become my life.....

The word brocanteur is French for a person who deals in secondhand goods  or a person who uses old items and turns them into new items.  Hmmmm, sounds a bit like what I do.  Or does it? I'm really not sure what you call the type of things that I buy and sell. Not really primitives but sometimes shabby chic..... oh well, whatever it's called it sure is great to have a small part of this growing sector.

It's been a few years now since I started doing this type of work (?) and I have enjoyed every minute of it. The hunt for the wonderful treasures is the most exciting part. I am sure that any of you who do the same thing can agree with me on that....the hunt, how wonderful. 

There is definately alot of wonderful, creative people who are doing just what I do and find beauty in the oddest of objects.  Keeping your focus can sometimes prove to be difficult, however, we forge ahead willingly to find the perfect "buy".

Today proved to be most fruitful in my search for items. Small silver trophies and brass trays are always a pleasure to find especially if they are unique. I have worked very hard to bring a uniqueness to my booth at Camas Antiques and various shows that I have done. Since moving to Vancouver from Seattle I made a promise to myself that I would be an individual and not run with the pack when it comes to doing business. So hopefully you will always be able to find great bargains, as well as, stylish items to give as gifts or simply to keep for yourself.

Until next time, HAPPY HUNTING.......
