Farm Chicks Dealer does flea.o.logy Too!


 Brandon and Tonya of Two Pitts of a Pear,  got their Trailer all gussied up for Farm Chicks, pretty cute, eh?

 Here they are with my friend Kelly and me on set up day at the flea market I run at my home four times a year, flea.o.logy.

Here are some random shots of their space ...

 ... and more shots inside the trailer ...




 So much amazing style, I love these people!!  Besides being super talented, they are also amazingly down to earth, kind and generous!

 I loved hearing the stories about their first trip to sell at Farm Chicks in Spokane, Washington.  They took along four helpers thinking they would take turns selling and shopping the show.  NOT, all six of them were kept busy all the first day selling!!

Brandon said that edgy stuff, like his doll head sculptures were much more popular there.



... and one last parting shot .... I love these assemblages, with the antlers on top ... such talented, talented people.  Come and see them at our last flea.o.logy of the year too, they have opted not to return to Swiss days, but to join us for flea.o.logy, much to our delight, August 30th at 8 A.M.

Displaying Tiny Smalls in an Antique Mall Booth

 So what do you do, when you sell antiques, but keep coming up with really cool, but tiny stuff?

This Morton Salt pen clip is a great example.  If you put these tinies in a display, it makes them look cluttered, pieces get lost, or they get broken.

That is when I came up with the idea of bagging them, which protects them, and keeps pieces together, then pricing them with a header ....

 This is what the headers look like ... fleabits explains the small size ...  These fleabits are going with me to flea.o.logy this weekend .... 
As  you can see I made the headers to match the sign I made a couple of months ago to hang in my booth of small crafting items ... this is the blog post that shows the booth.  I have lots more tiny goodies to add ... but I started with 50 I bagged today.

I am using this great rusty reproduction wire shopping basket to display them until I get a nice hanging rack.  Is anyone else fascinated with tiny stuff?
