A la French Flea Market

The day began when the alarm clock blared at 4:30am. Way too early - but I was up and at em! Today was the French Flea Market in Mill Creek. This sweet little event was hosted by Cindy at Haley's Cottage. What a fun show she put on. The weather was absolutely gorgeous - I feel guilty saying this, but it was a little too warm. I know, in a few short weeks, I will be longing for a day like this. The Show brought out a lot of familiar faces - vendors and friends as well!!! My good friend, Colleen was kind enough to let me borrow some of her painted furniture for my booth. It certainly turned things Frenchy!!! I tried to inspire my customers with a few fall things - grapevine pumpkins with a little fall fluff, candles in the shape of pears, and fall wreaths were evidence that the season is about to turn.

A Vintage birdcage was the perfect setting to show off a glittering Eiffel Tower and some lovely Robin eggs.

I had lots of help from these little cuties - Jazzie and Grace bounced in and out all day serving up yummy cupcakes from Jazzies' Mom. Her business is called Pinkalicious Cupcakes - they are delish!!!

I made up some of my wonderful little French apothecary bottle vases. They were sure a hit. And of course, I had a great collection of my new Fall Jewels.

My partner in craft and crime was such a huge help. He had his radio so he didn't miss any of the college games, and he even escaped for a cold one late in the afternoon. He is the master tent builder - thank God. I wasn't sure what end was up when we started with a box full of metal.

It was a great show indeed. I was able to chat and visit a little bit with Deb and Bob Kennedy from Retreat, Tiffany from Shabby Scraps (and yes I definitely want that laundry cart Miss Tiffany), Linda from Lulu's, and Mary Beth and Julie from Poppy Seeds. Thanks for a great show girls. See you in Puyallup next month for the Funky Junk Antique Show and Flea Market. Au revoir, Mon ami!
