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.

The Vintage Whites Market Comes to Salt Lake Again!!

 What an amazing day Wendy and I had on Saturday.  Ever so much fun, and we both managed to empty our  pockets while loading up bags of treasures.... at the second annual Vintage Whites Market at the State Fair Park in Salt Lake City!

Don't you love the umbrellas in the entry?  Me too, Jenn of 3 Dotters Vintage Rentals put it together.  She is a genius when it comes to combining vintage goodness!

 As we turned to the left to start our vintage trek around the awesome historic building, we immediately ran into our friend Cathy's booth, but alas no Cathie.

 

 Next was Jenn's booth, and she even had a minute for a quick picture with Wendy and me.

Say Cheese!

 Then we headed up stairs ... loved these two pieces done by the same artistic vendor. 

 ... and we ran into these darling and talented sisters who sell at Treasures with me, Annette and Vicki!

 Loved this booth by the Perfect Pallet. How cute is the triple chair bench below?

This awesome ampersand was made by Shannon, one of the leaders of the FB Reclaimologist group I belong to on Face Book.

 Above is a shot of the main floor from the staircase ... so many people plus so many goodies just added up to so much energy and great memories.

Here I am with my load for the car ... underneath the cool bed shelf is a full set of printer's type, and it was super heavy!!  My purse is also crammed, and there's a bags of goodies hanging from the back of the dolly!  The cute round suitcase was Wendy's purchase from everyone's favorite flea.o.logy dealer, Vickie!

As we were headed out for the last time, I saw this cute girl keeping an eye on the goods her mom had bought, I asked for a picture, mentioning my blog as an excuse, and she said, "Sure, that's OK, my mom blogs too!"  That just made me laugh!

We finished our perfect day with lunch at Cafe Rio, and an hour of catching up!  How is it that friends always multiply the fun?  Thanks for an amazing day Wendy!

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?

Lace Displays and Other Craft Supplies

 

 Since I had sold out of my lace dolls, yes it took more than a year .... I decided it was time to make some more, with one improvement.

The last ones I made, after seeing this great idea on Graphics Fairy, had no arms, just the sweet puffed sleeves ... which sort of bugged me.

So the new version got to keep their arms ...

 Here they are in the display I use for lace and buttons ...

And here they are, upper left, as a part of my larger display of elements for crafting!  Here are a few more shots of my crafter's space.

 

 This booth has been so fun to put together .... and I love looking for 'smalls' to add! 

 Thanks for stopping by .... I am off now, to do some serious junking and see if I can find more small goods to add.
