Woohoo!! We survived {and truly thrived} The Vintage Marketplace in Springfield Ohio!
We had a 15x30 booth space. It was a first for me having a space that large, and driving out of state, so we were in a total panic going into it.
All the questions swirling through my head, am I bringing enough, is it good enough, can I pull this off without looking like a total newbie?
Well the verdict is in, we are already planning to go back in September!!
It was a wonderful event, excellent venue, fabulous customers and a great group of other vendors.
I wish I had been able to make it through and say hello to everyone, but we were movin and groovin. I sold almost all of my large items and many many smalls.
I did, however, have the chance to make it to a few others near me and say hello and even get a couple of photos!!
I met Theresa of Time Worn Interiors
I got the chance to see the ever fabulous Jackie of Shambora Studios
again!
Urban Farmhouse was there.
I was excited to finally meet Lesa of Salvaged to Sassy
who I have been friends with on Facebook for a bit now.
Next door to me was Kim of Bungalow Interiors
she was just as sweet as can be! Upon packing up to leave they accidentally broke a table and asked me if I was interested in it to rehab {Uh YES please!}
And I got to see Sue of Sullivan and Murphy
again. {Always a pleasure}
It wasn't ALL work, there was definitely some play.....
This is how they open wine bottles the junk style way!
There wasn't a cork screw, so yes, they are using a drill and a screw....
My husband got the honors of popping the cork!
{He hates this photo, so here is to hoping he doesn't read this post!}
Jon Jenkins and Sue Whitney did an amazing job of putting this show together and gathering up this fabulous group of vendors!
such a lot of hard work and extensive mental investment..but worth it! Your booth was amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Nicki! Whew, it was quite a show and I was so happy to meet you in person, finally! Good luck with the rest of your shows this summer!

You're not a newbie there, now! Selling almost all the big pieces is great! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you! I'm glad you thrived...doing shows is a lot of work, but fun too!! That photo of the wine opening with a drill kills me...so funny!!!
ReplyDeleteYour own booth looked great! Glad it was a good show for you!

I just saw your comment on Sue's blog and had to come over and look at your photos. Glad you had a good show. I probably stopped at your booth, but then I stopped at almost every single one (to my husband's dismay).
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you had a good show! I love your booth and the pictures that you shared. I can only imagine how much hard work and more importantly FUN that you had.
ReplyDeleteBest,
