Remnants of the Past

I wanted to share some photos

with you of a quaint

flea show

that I went to

a few months back....

"bbc"

{before blog creation!}

Its not too often that there is a flea market

this close to my home.....

{usually I have to drive 3 hours}

AND......

this amazing!

Miss Judy hosts her show twice a year

in April and October

Remnants of the Past

Its is all my favorite things

{vintage, rusty, ruffley, old, lacey, crusty}

rolled into one

vintage barn

nestled in an orange grove

Oh,and did I mention

that she has super duper vendors:

Junk Market Style's own

Sue Whitney's

Booth

{she was the special guest!!}

Dont you just love the grass runner?!

Then you look up.....

who woulda thought dead grapes could produce

something that I want?

You best believe that this sucker

is on the Stigman's hunny-do list

{its getting kinda big-sorry babe}

all it is

 is an old pulley

some rusty chain

a buncha grapevines

(no wine...er I mean grapes on em anymore-so sad), 

vintage canning jars 

oh, and

fancyshmancy plain ol' christmas lights

a Fairy Garden!!

Sue did a hands on how-to create

your very own using

succulents

and of course

vintage scraps and goodies

How cute is that?!
Kinda makes you wanna be a fairy, huh?! 

One of my favorite booths

Tattered House

These girls (Erika & Sandy) are amazing

I only wish their shop was closer to me!

I took all sortsa goodies off their hands:

vintage flashlight

metal letters

a purdy bracelet for my mama

and.....this

my tissue paper flower on a birch "stem"

 I cannot count how many people

asked me which booth I got it from

I was referred to as "the bride"

hahaha.....

that woulda looked cool for my wedding bouquet!

Altho mine was pretty spectacular....

and not paper (lol)

Retreat Style's booth

Blue Canoe Reloaded

I cannot tell you how absolutely amazing 

their booth was

AH-MAZE-ING

and

this one too.....

3 Fine Grains

Oh, did I tell you that terrarium is on 
my "hunny-do want" list?
{the list that he rolls his eyes at everytime it grows} 

It is made of old windows 
and chick wire


Do you come back from flea markets
and vintage shows
and think....
I could totally make that!?


Yah, me too.
except there is no way in heck
it would look like that....
{thats why I have the Stigman-LUV HIM}

And so I keep collecting old windows
and hide them in the back corner of our yard
{ssshh...its our secret!} 

Miss Heather Bullard was there....

I only got one pic because her
booth was highly sought after 

Gorgeous ....

nests with rhinestone brooches and ribbon
yummy smelly candles
industrial goodies
vintage repurposed jewelry 
lovely chippy crusty furniture 
and plants and flowers everywhere
{love that!} 

Here are some other random pics from the day....

Vintage dress forms  

 Vintage door hardware
{i dont know why my heart palpitates every time i see rusty crusty hardware} 

 

Cute fabric flowers 




JUNK!
 

Sweet lil lunch/rest area
{ahem...notice the burlap}
 

This cutey patootie was helpin his Mama
sell her goodies
So stinkin cute!!

I was in serious love with this scale!
the price tag.....lets just say
the love was not reciprocated
{heartbreak hotel}




I will find one - 
one day.


Maybe October 2nd......


Thats when Miss Judy 
is holding her Fall show
{did i ever tell you Fall is my favie month?!}


this will be my 1st stop - Old Willow Farm
I seriously heart pumpkins! 

 {they were all over our wedding reception tables} 

Oh...
 and um... yeah.....

I had to change my anniversary weekend too.
So that I could go. 


The Stig was not very
stoked.

He is a sucker for tradition - 
and we go to Yosemite
every year for our anniversary
{its where us lovebirds honeymooned} 




But he understood.....
{thats why I married that man!}

 {sorry...all that wedding/anniversary talk got me all twitter-pated!}

[side note] 
this pic was taken before just before our wedding ceremony,
right after the Stigman surprised me,
 and got down on one knee,
 and proposed to me (for the 3rd time-storyline for some other time) 
right after I walked down the aisle....
of course I said "YES"
...duh!

ANYWHOOO.... 

my awesome man understood why I have to go to the Fall show.....
mainly cuz I told him
this "chic" was gonna be the MVP.....
(Most Vintage Person!) 
haha - I just made that up :D
 

a certain "Shabby" Chic(k)...

um "hello McFly"!!

Do you think she would autograph
one of my lovie chippy vintage dressers??
Hahaha....

but seriously??!!


So.....
whadya say?
Wanna meet up?

I know you aren't doing anything
remotely cooler than this!

I will bring the lattes.....
you bring the laughs
{and a cute scarf to wear} 



Until then.....
the thrill of the hunt is what its all about!
{and this cougar is ready to pounce!!}
