Fall Boutique with the Reclaimologists ROCCs


 This past weekend I participated in yet another Vintage Sale!  This time with the Reclaimologist group that I belong too.

The Reclaimologist and Other Crafty Chicks, or ROCC is a facebook group, where we sell vintage and up cycled goodies to locals.

 We also do two boutiques a year, this one was our Fall Extravaganza ...  There were so, so many customers, all happy to spend a drifted leaf autumn day browsing through our wonderful vintage goodies.

These pictures are all shots of my booth.  Its fun to see the pictures now that so many of the items have gone off to find new homes ... the multi drawer cabinet has gone to live with a lady who does essential oils ... they come in tiny bottles ... won't this be a fun way to control her inventory?  I love it!

 The  vintage wooden truck, made with love, has sat for sale in one of my booths at Treasures Antiques for years ... this year it almost got donated to a local charity.  I had it in my hands ready to be put in a cart full of hopeless donations, when the idea of making it into a 'tree farm' truck struck ...  It now has a new home and will house a vintage miniature pine tree collection!



 I did a small corner of romantic items ... so popular when I was loving the Paris Apartment look ... not so much anymore, not one item among them sold ...

And the sock monkeys were undiminished as well.





I did find homes for some fun patterned Reader's Digest books, though ... and the blue chair, though much admired, will be going to Treasures this coming week.



This is the Christmas goodies corner .... lots of fun and funky vintage.

 Unfortunately the wagon and deer were sent to separate homes, but the main thing is they did GO.  The lady who bought the miniature 1950's wagon, said she's been looking for one for 5 years ... she was picky, she wanted only vintage.

The irony is that the lady I bought the wagon from came along and bought the deer from me ... of course in this business that happens a lot!

 None of my awesome vintage large frames so ... I had them priced from $20 to $40, but the girl across the isle had hers for half that  .... alas, that happens some times.

A few of the milk glass vases found new homes, but the rest will make the trek back to Treasures, where they are for sale in my 'White Booth', for $3 to $5.
 ... and last of all the fun romantic picnic basket went to a family that is using it for a wedding reception display ... complete with all white plates, tablecloth, napkins, candles, silver plate silverware, goblets and a 'love potion' wine bottle in a vintage white tin picnic basket from the 50's!!

One super fun thing that happened is that one of my awesome blog followers stopped by and introduced herself.   Meet Randi Buck!!  I love it when this happens, so if you are local and come to one of my events, please let me know!!  

It was an amazing show, one of the most lucrative vintage shows I have done in years!!  I hope you've enjoyed your peeks at my booth, and later this week I hope to share a couple of other booths that I really liked!

Reclaimologists Show


I spent the better part of the day setting up for the Reclaimolgist sale in Spanish Fork today ... Of course, as always, there are lots of globes! 

... And autumn colors. 

A sweet romantic niche. 

A spot dedicated to black and white ...

A gathering of odds and ends ... 

Children's chairs, three of them this time!
... And, as always, man'scorner. 

And naturally Christmas goodies are a must this time of year.  

Wish me well at the sale tommorow.ore pictures if the sale and other vendors' amazing I booths!

The Doll House Festival in Provo


 A couple of weeks ago, I got to go to the doll house festival with a couple of gals from We Can, a service group I belong too.

I love doll house, in fact all things miniature ...
 The money made at the festival every year goes to Children's Justice Center in Provo to pay for therapy for children who have been abused.  Its such  a great charity, heart breaking as it is that there is a need for it.
 The gal that did these two individual room scenes always does them in lavender, because that's her last name .... unfortunately I don't love lavender ...
 Isn't this kitchen scene adorable?  I love them.  I actually bid on and won a doll house this year ... it was a La La Loopsy house, that I gave to my two granddaughters who love La La Loopsy, I just didn't get a picture of it.  But they love it!!  Next year I need to buy a boy theme doll house, because I have a four year old grand son who loves to play in my doll house.
Here I am with Carolyn and K.D., clearly I did not get the memo on what we were all going to wear ... but we all had a great time!! 

 If you are local, you will want to watch for the Doll House Festival at the Marriot in Provo next year.  It will start on Thursday the Eighth with a donation per plate Masquerade ball, then on Friday and Saturday you can see the doll houses and bid on them!!
