Our local Chamber of Commerce
is throwing an after hours shopping/mixer/benefit tomorrow night
at my antique mall, and it's rumored that close to 400 WOMEN will descend upon the mall for what could turn into the Lollopalooza of antique shopping. Let's hope!
As expected, there's been a flurry of dealer activity this week,
what with all of us foofing our boof (© VRS Sue) in anticipation of fab vintage junk
flying out the doors left and right.

The dealers are invited to attend, but the idea isn't to man your booth.
It's more a show of support for the worthy cause at hand,
and I think it'll also be excellent PR.
Captain Obvious, at your service.

I'm running this baby over to my booth tomorrow morning.
Such a beauty. I used a wee bit of paint stripper
just to get the thicker areas of black paint off. Don't worry, it still has a killer patina.
I picked up TWO of these sweet little tables
for $2 each at Stop #1 of Epic Garage Sale Saturday last week...

Seriously awesome, right?
And if that weren't enough, I nabbed the table below
at the same sale for only a buck. A BUCK!!
FYI, that's paint, not bird poop.
Off to the booth with both of them.
Today I made a few last minute runs to my usual handful
of thrift stores and stocked up on top-notch tchotchkes
that'll complement my booth theme. Which is......

My booth is having an identity crisis, methinks.
Somewhere along the way, it's turned into your one stop shopping
for all things white, pink and cottage-y.

Oooh...I love the bird bath! I have a little table like the middle one you showed...I wish that is what I'd paid for it...but I hadn't started "junkin'" yet when I bought it from the boutique where I worked years ago...I've just primed it...but have yet to decide on a paint color.
Have a wonderful time at your event!!!!!
: )

Good for you! I hope the special event is a huge sales night for you. I lvoe the bird bath and the green tables. They are gorgeous!
Adorable stuff... bring it on all you dirty birds! Chic tub.

Best of luck! I can tell you will do great! Wish I was closer I would shop with you!! Love the great tables!
Here's to all the good juju I can muster for a really good sale........can't wait to hear how it turns out :) xojana......sell'em your soap for five bucks a bar......I've got more!
Sending you nothing but good mojo from Dallas. The great thing about being there is you'll be able to meet your customers, schmooze and make deals. It's a win/win for sure/sure!

Sometimes our booth spaces have a life of their own. They identify with certain objects and people. Let it transform itself, it will. Have fun at the big bash...schmooze, schmooze, schmooze! I mean that in a good way. Nothing I like more than to talk to customers, and then if they walk away with a treasure, that's just gravy!
Hi Anne:
Good luck tomorrow night! And, man, do you know how to tempt a girl! I love that bird bath! Good thing I don't live closer (in this case).

Looks like the birdbath will be a hit! Why can't all of you live close by, you'd be my bestest customers. Or at the very least, I'd have some way cool junkin' buddies.
Jana, no way am I selling that soap. I used it tonight and I smell *divine*.
Hmmm, I see two votes for schmoozing above. Will do. I'm even open to shameless bribing; I'm bringing lots and lots of Halloween candy to place in the serving pieces in my booth. Mmmwwwuuaahhhh!
Anne,
I'm blowing good juju your way!! Looks like you really are on a roll there girl...some great stuff goin' on. I also love love that bird bath it'll be a hit for sure!
My Best

Oh how exciting!! I hope you sell so much stuff and have a blast meeting so many people!! I have a lil booth but live in a little town of 4,000 - it would be a miracle if 100 people showed up to anything!!

Hey girl! I hope this little shindig works out as you hope too!
It looks like you've got some great new pieces to lug in for it though! Too cute are the wee tables!

Good luck on your boof!!!
I've been reading your blog for sometime now and I thought I was already a follower....guess not....until now!!!!
Hi Anne,
So glad that you stopped by. I can see we are definately kindred spirits. Good luck with your chamber event! Hope by Monday you are on the hunt again because of all the things that fly out of your booth.

Anne...this makes me want to hop of my sturdy stead and head directly for the HILL COUNTRY..oh how I hate to miss anything that has to do with lots of Antiques, all in one place.
~~But alas, it is a bit far for a "day trip" for us...and I am sure there are NO Hotels to be had over there now.
Thanks for stopping by my Blog and speaking kind words about it.~~
And THE BEST of luck on your venture...it's always so exciting to start a new business of your very own.
Keep us posted about how things go.

Anne, here's sending blessings for an awesome sale...great stuff. I have a favor to ask of you..I'm shamelessly blog hopping to my favs to ask help with a decorating dilema, which I have posted about today. When you get a minute, I would appreciate if you could stop by and offer your opinion!
Many thanks,
Susie
