Looks like a great week-end for a flea market!!

Greetings my friends! I hope you are ready for a great flea-market week-end, because there is ALOT going on!! First off, A Vintage Gathering has decided to add a candlelight sale on Friday, July 29th, from 5-9pm. There will be a campfire burning, with some old fashioned marshmellow roastin' going on. Who doesn't LOVE a nice warm goey marshmellow!!?? My friend Jenny, will be singing for us a well. She sings some wonderful americana, country music.

On Saturday, July 30th, our hours are 8-4pm. I forgot to tell you that we will have the most vendors, that we have ever had. We will have 20 vendors, and I believe one gal is coming all the way from Eugene to be a vendor with us! We have a great lineup! There will also be a food cart on site for you. They make awesome expresso's too, so no need to stop somewhere else.

Up the road, our good friends from Barnhouse are having their big flea-market too! Alot of my friends will be vendors there. Too bad I can't be in two places at once! I believe their sale starts at 9am on Saturday. So, you can see, you can make a day of it! The last three pictures were from our last flea-market, and I have been shopping like crazy, and have ALOT of new stuff!

I will also be having a sale in my space at Uncovered Ruby in Battle Ground. This wrought iron bench is still waiting to sit on somebody's porch.

We at A Vintage Gathering, and Uncovered Ruby look forward to seeing to seeing you all! The weather is gonna be SUNNY, SUNNY, SUNNY! And just that, makes me excited!

It Must Be Time For Another Vintage Gathering Flea Market, Cuz My House Looks Like A Furniture Store!

I am up to my arms and body parts in vintage furniture! I really would like to have my house back, as it is looking like a scene from "Hoarders". I have been saving all of it for better weather, and thankfully it is looking good for this Saturday!

She was a bit too sparkly for me, so I had to spray paint her white. It will go with all of her outfits!

I found this baby last summer, and it is awesome! If I had the room, she would be a keeper, right in my dining room.

Oops! It got in there twice! She is sooo vain......

I thought I would do up some chairs to sit around the library table. I just happened to find six very sturdy old chairs, with nail head trim. I had a vision. The next time I even think about painting that many chairs, I think I'll shoot myself! I should be painting the last two chairs right now, but no, I am blogging and avoiding it, and then I still have to recover the seats....I need more coffee!

My Mom will be helping at the sale on Saturday. She is the best Mom ever! She has a birthday in a few days too. She will be 75. Don't tell her I told you her age, cuz she would kill me. Just wish her a Happy Birthday! Next to her, is my beautiful daughter, Alicia. She just graduated from Portland State, and she is headed to Syracuse, NY to grad school. I am so proud of her! In front is my sister Jeanna, and her beautiful daughter, Shelby. Jeanna had her own space at our last AVG sale, and she is hooked! She is gathering up more stuff for the July sale, and sitting this one out. Isn't if funny how these flea markets seem to turn into a family affair? I am so very lucky.

We will have some new guest vendors for our June sale, and I can tell you that I have seen their talent. They have some very neat stuff. I am really loving these AVG flea's, cuz each one is different. The start time will be 0800!!! Gotta go finish painting some chairs....

Vintage Gathering Flea Market Tommorrow!

First of the season flea market for our group starts tomorrow at 0800, and goes to 4:00. Today we will be dodging the rain pellets, and setting up our goods for you. Tomorrow promises to be a better day, weather wise............I hope! We will have fourteen vendors waiting for you, so please come on over for a visit. Most of your favorite past vendors will be there, as well as some new guest vendors. I know I am really looking forward to seeing what they have to offer! Everyone has been working really hard to put on a great show.

These few pictures are just a sample of what I have for sale. I know summer has to come eventually, so I hope all my wrought iron furniture will get you inspired for some sunny weather!

Vintage Gathering Flea Market Tommorrow!

Mother's Day Garden Fair Tommorrow!

The Plant and Garden Fair at the Camas High School starts at 0900 tomorrow morning! With or without the sun, the show must go on! They are calling for scattered showers, so lets hope they scatter elsewhere! I have been going to this show for alot of years, and alittle rain does not keep this crowds away. Remember, this year is in a different location, and Camas High School is NOT in Camas. Be sure and map quest the address, take your GPS, or follow the signs from Lacamas Lake. The address is 26900 SE 15th street, Camas, WA.

This baby is loaded, and ready to roll! It's filled to the brim with vintage wrought iron, concrete goodies, birdcages, benches, and lots of everything else.

The hubs even slapped together a table for me. I found the awesome chippy table base, at a sale last month. It was in a pile of junk, turned upside down, and I could see that it was destined for something much greater. Of course when I drug it home, the hubby just shook his head. After he added some boards to it, I painted it up, and then he then saw it's great potential. I know I am just loving it!

Hope to see you tomorrow, and please bring alittle sunshine our way! And Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's!

P.S. Don't forget that our first Vintage Gathering Flea Market is less than a month away too. Mark your calenders for May 28th.

Getting ready for the Camas plant and garden show

Attention all you plant, and all things for the garden lovers! The 14th annual Mother's Day plant and garden fair is coming up on Saturday, May 7th at the Camas High School. There will be over 80 vendors, and they have moved it to this different location, so there is more room for everyone. The address is 26900 SE 15th St. Camas, WA. My mom, and I go to this every year, but this year, I am a vendor! I am very excited, because I have a ton of stuff that would look great in your yard or garden. I have been making a few signs.

I have been finding alot of neat garden stuff. This picket fence shelf will have to be painted!

I love vintage flower vases, and pots!

I have a pretty good collection of concrete everything, including these vintage Greek urns.

My neighbors think I am collecting birdbaths. I'm sure they think I'm crazy! Crazy for concrete maybe!

And if you are looking for vintage wrought iron furniture, I have ALOT!!! I really do have at least one of everything! Patio table and chairs. loveseat, sidetables, plantstands, ect. I just recovered these two chairs, and they go with a glass topped wrought iron table.

And it wouldn't be a garden fair, without a few plants! I'm glad the sun finally decided to come out yesterday!

I decided this old wagon needed to be painted with a patriotic theme. It would be really cute sitting on some body's porch with a pot of plants in it!

It seems I have collected alot of benches too! A rusty old milk stool anyone?

The picket fence looks sooo much better painted white. The plant show starts at 9:00 am, and goes until 4:pm. We will be waiting for you!

Mad Hatter Tea Party and Sale!

You are invited over for tea tomorrow, March 11th, at Uncovered Ruby's. Everyone has been very busy getting ready, and let me say that our shop is bursting at the seams with Springy goodness!

The shop will be closed from 3-4, and then at 4:00, Queen Ruby, Alice, and the Mad Hatter will all be awaiting your arrival. I wouldn't be too late, but the party will go on until 8:00.

There will be sales, door prizes, a make and take craft project, and yummy treats. Please see Uncovered Ruby's blog, for more details.

I have brought alot of new things in, and I know all the other vendors have too.

I brought this vintage desk in just last week. I gave it a Pottery Barn look, which I just love!

I personally will have all my furniture on sale for 10% off.

I will be taking in this piece of furniture today, and as you can see, this is nice and crackly. All I had to do was put a glaze over the paint to seal the finish.

See you at the party!
