Oh what a Fabulous weekend in Monroe!

Ruffles and RustFriday night was the Bloggers ball this is Our vintage prom girl with her 1927 sash

This is my sister Mae, she was so much fun and sooo much help when we were slammed in our booth with the mad rush of shoppers friday night.
Kris (left) the "mad" hatter, Celia (middle) our super sweet neighbor that came all the way from Spokane with her mom Gladys they own Junebugs and have a wonderful show of their own in the fall, and me:)

These two beauty's were real head turners and the doll in the red dress won "best Dressed)

These ladies are the proud new owners of the vintage sofa

Lots of empty hangers! The slips and crinolines were a big seller.

I really didn't get very many good pictures of our booth, brought the camera, but fogot the camera card! This is a shot after it was pretty picked over all the fabulous french chairs sold, the lockers, the sofa, vanity's , benches and LOTS of smalls! We had to put up folding tables to hold items after our furniture sold!

I love this rack, we jus got it and it was only one of a few pieces that didn't sell so I was kind of glad we will be able to take it to the shop.

Mindy and Kris

Here's the fabulous black and white floor on concrete, worn to perfection!

One of Our booths

One of the Highlights of the show my Sweet trailer buddy Sandy who is battling cancer herself was crowned the 1st annual Trailer Trash queen during Friday nights breast cancer fundraiser
We LOVE you Sandy you are a super cute trashy trailer queen!

Heres a shot of our "trailer" booth, we had alot of vintage campy stuff that was really a hit! Sorry to tell all of you who have been inquiring about the Baby Shasta trailer, but she has been SOLD to our very sweet friend Mindy! Baby Shasta is going to have a great new home and I'm sure we are going to be seeing her around the trailer circuit!

The Funky Junk RV park outside the show was so much fun , we had beautiful weather and everyone really enjoyed touring all of the trailers!

Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting your local dealers, it's alot of hard work and we're not getting any younger, so remember YOU are the ones that determine whether or not these shows continue being succesful by your continued support and spending your hard earned money locally with so many small business entrepeneurs that love what they do , but can only keep doing it because of YOU!
We appreciate each and everyone of our customers so thank you again!

And remember next up is The much anticipated Ruffles and Rust vintage market you can find me there this coming Friday and Saturday Oct22nd and 23rd
at the Evergreen Fairgrounds in Monroe Washington

More snippets of Texas

Texas.. Marburger, Warrenton and Roundtop oh my!

Part one of our Texas trip, heres a few pictures of some great booths, more to come later. WELCOME TO TEXAS!! WHERE THEY DO EVERYTHING BIG! This is Magnolia Pearls incredible booth!

Beautiful, artistic over the TOP!

People just couldn't get enough of Robins clothes! I just couldn't get enough pictures!

Isn't it just incredible?

Texas is definately chandelier land!

These are some outdoor vendors in warrenton and Roundtop

I found some great stuff in this booth

This was a really COOL booth at Marberger Farms. Carnival and fair memorabilia

The crowds were growing early

Here are some more incredible Warrenton vendors!

Heres a close up of these great carnival signs!

Old advertisement is everywhere in TEXAS!

Oh not to mention rusty , chippy iron beds by the dozens!!

A more sophisticated look, animal rugs, mostly cow hides and a zebra here and there were the choice.

TEXAS OR BUST!

I ran around like a crazy person today getting ready for our BIG Texas trip! We leave early Friday and are staying til the following Wednsday. 4 of us girls getting away from the hubby's, the kids, the laundry., the dogs, and most of all the SHOP!
I know I shouldn't sound so excited about that, but the fact is it's taken us 11 years to make this trip a reality. When we first opened the store eleven years ago we had BABIES! Now most of us have empty nests for the very first time, I still have my Molly girl home she is still only 16 and 1/2 ( she let me know today it was her 6mo. driving anniversary) but she like most teenagers her age are gone from sun up to sun down, so I can finally feel like I am an adult person again for the first time in 23 years! I'm a big girl I'm leaving on a jet plane! With other big girls, we can just worry about what WE want to eat, and Drink whatever and I do mean whatever we WANT!
We don't have to run homework up to the school or find the lost car keys. No cleaning up after the dogs, the kids, the hubs! O Geeze I might not come back! :) JK :)
Love to all
I will take lots of pics and I promise more than just picks of trailers! O geeze I forgot about my little cottage on wheels I'm gonna miss her!
Hey speaking of my little trashy trailer I still need to give her a proper name, any suggestions I would love to hear from you, leave me a comment and if I pick your name suggestion I will send you a treasure from Texas!:)

Our first annual Labor Day Trailer Rally!

Here I go off to my first sleepover!

Sometimes the moons just align, the weather man is wrong and you just throw all caution to the wind! Thats what happened this weekend our on again off again trailer rally actually happened as if we had planned it for months!

Taken a break after getting our cottages set up.

And the crowds kept growing to tour the trailers and hang out at the campfire, listen to Taylor on the banjo eat smores and laugh all night!

It was the first time for three of us girls to do a real overnighter in our trailers and I've got to tell you I slept like a baby!

Kris even made it with her new 57 scotsdale her hubby had just picked up that day. ( the tail of it on the right)

And the end to a happy weekend the proud new happy campers Bob and Julie from Whidbey Island drove all the way to Puyallup to buy Pinky our 59 fireball. Hated to see her go , but so glad she will have such great new parents! Bob builds one of a kind toolsheds,chickencoops playhouses etc. out of recycle reclaimed materials you can see his work at http://www.bobbowlingrustics.homestead.com/Hers a better pic of Kris's sweet new ride!

Thanks to Sharon and Jer for hosting our first annual labor day trailer Rally!

Vintage trailer Junkies your not alone!

This is the 64 Shasta "Buttercup" we fixed up for my 80 year old parents. See your never too old to be a Vintage trailer junkie!

Well, you know by now I have turned into a trailer Junkie, but me and my friend thought maybe there was something wrong with us, because we just have gone looney over these little nostalgic bubbles! Then I found Nancy's Vintage Trailers blog and I was so relieved' it's not just us' I told my friend we aren't the only Crazies!

Check out Nancys blog here if you need a REAL trailer fix!

Happy Trails

This is what I've been up to

I've gone from collecting pottery vases to collecting vintage travel trailers! These arent all mine, a couple belong to friends. I really can't believe how theses nostalgic little pieces of the past can give me so muchpleasure. I guess it's another sickness I'm going to have to explain to my therapist!:)
