Allegan Antique Market Booth

Whew!

The holiday weekend seemed to just fly by...

but what fun!

On Saturday morning, Georgina and I loaded up her truck and my trailer

with as many treasures as physically possible

and made our way to Allegan Fairgrounds...

to set up our booth for the monthly Allegan Antique Market.

We rented a 25'x25' booth which gave us lots of room to spread everything out

and make it look as eye-catching and welcoming as possible.

Once we manhandled our new canopy,
(which is always a good laugh)
all systems were 'GO'!
It was time to play house and create some pretty vignettes.

After everything was set,
of course we had to do a little shopping.
The vendors are always so cordial and fun to chat with!
Some of them were all set up and were kicking back with a glass of wine
while other vendors, like us, did a little treasure hunting.
I did nab a few beauties that I'll share with you later.  :)

Sunday dawned chilly, but sunny ~
(I was up at 5am and in our booth by 7am)

and it warmed up nicely during the afternoon.

We received many compliments on how cute our booth looked.

Thank you, everyone!

Here are some vignettes I created for our booth.

This table I painted sold right away.

The hand woven table runner is still for sale!  ($30)

The Victorian desk and dining chair also sold later in the day ~ after numerous people ooohed and ahhhhed over them.  

The "Be Bold" and "Laugh" signs are still for sale ($20 each).

I discovered another vintage grain sack while packing for the market.  It could be yours for $50!


My dream catchers ~ fluttering in the springtime breeze ~
caught everyone's attention,
and I sold quite a few of them.

Happy day!

My Jardin bench ~ one of the very first pieces I ever painted.

This little table was the second piece I ever painted with ASCP.  It sold late morning.

I got some use out of my old ruffled bed skirt by using it as a table cover.

I could have sold it 10 times.
lol!

It was such a fun day!

We loved people-watching all day long

and met so many nice customers.

The crowds were incredible!

Numerous close friends and family members wandered in to see how sales were going.

Two of my cousins stopped in to see me which was such a blessing!

One of them took home a Prairie Girl dream catcher with her.

Thank you, Carol!

I met a fellow blog friend, Shirley Wing, 

who is just the happiest, sweetest gal ever! 

She purchased one of my Prairie Girl dream catchers, too.

Thank you, Shirley!

And of course,
I had to spend some time with my sweet sister-from-another-mother,
Michelle from {re}imagined Just For You,
who vendors a beautiful booth at the market every month.
She creates beautiful ASCP patinas on vintage furniture that she and her husband travel near and far
to bring home to transform into artful creations.
She's simply amazing and incredibly talented.
(And don't get me started on how fabulous her children are!)
[Love ya to bits, Victoria!  *wink*]

Thank you to everyone who helped make our day fun and successful!
