Pin It
Continuing on with featuring Lavender and Lace vendors.  This is our biggest show yet with the Best-of-the Best coming to share their talent with you.


Linda is very creative with taking something old and turning into something one-of-kind to give it a new life.  Look for her space full of primitives.



Bridget displays pretty sets of stemware and vintage finds with beautiful painted furniture.


Carey's booth will have vintage French inspired clothing with great chippy vintage props.
  I love her style and the way she puts it all together.

Natalie and Judy create the most unique wall decor ever. 
This is small sampling of the beautiful work they do.

From Napa, Jeanette will bring a truck and trailer full of vinatge and antique treasures to fill her space and share with you.  


Family owned, these ladies are experts at Fiber Arts. Stop by their space and find gorgeous one-of-a-kind designs and sign up to take a class with them.

Julie will have pretty women's clothing with frilly, feminine lines offered in many sizes.

Visit Robin's booth for great finds and fun displays.  Now, isn't that beautiful!

Libby and Tenille have a fun and happy style. 
Take home one of their handmade signs for a special place in your home.

Maria and her family do wonderful work with painted furniture and accessories. 
You will want to check out their space.


~Wild Goose Chase~
Jim and Debi's space is always a place that I could move right in. 
 I love their primitive/farmhouse style.


Kelly's handmade jewelry designs are the most delicate and feminie ever. 
I love my special pieces from her.

Cassandra has a great eye for vintage farmhouse, and knows how to put it all together.
Mary has been this business for quite awhile and knows how to make a gorgeous booth with silver, whites and salvage.

Finally ~ The Grand Opening Party pics for The Vintage Bricoleur

Pin It
I promised some pics of the Grand Opening Party and I finally had a little time to show you.  High Hand had their Annual Lighting of the Nursery at 6 p.m., so we had our Grand Opening right before that, from 4 -6 p.m. although it continued on to about 8:30 p.m.
The Nursery was beautiful.

Thousands of lights sparkling.

Bon fires were lit to warm yourself. 
Back inside people were starting to show up.  About two thousand people came through the sheds that night.

Tim and Lisa of Blue Canoe Reloaded with Sandy Bryan and Lisa's dad.

Sandy of The Olive and Rose (one of our dealers) was happy to have her friend Lisa there.

Lori and her husband have a space at The Antique Trove..

These nice ladies were out for the evening.
Ann, Abigail, Hannah, Joyce and Isabelle.

Some ladies enjoying the complimentary cider and cookies.

Lots of visiting.

Sandy again with another friend Lonnie.

Lonnie and her husband from Creekside Rummager and James and Jacque from Old Soul Studios.

 I love this pic of James and Jacque.
