See Ya At Expo!!!

Hi my friends!
This coming weekend, you can see the great new things I’ve found since the last time we met. I’ll be at the Portland Expo on July 10th & 11th for the big Palmer/Wirfs show.

I am located outside O-144 right next to my friend Christa from Chloe Rose!!!

She has made some wonderful treasures for the show!!

I’ll be listed there, along with my location.
This show is the largest Antique & Collectible Show in the country with 1,400

booths both inside and out.
There are several exhibits that you may enjoy: In the outside selling area, there is a collection of Tear Drop Trailers, those adorable ‘40’s era camping trailers.

The hours on Saturday are 9am to 6pm and Sunday from 10am to 5pm.

The Expo is located in Portland, Oregon and to get there take exit 306B off I-5 north or south. Adult admission is $7.00 for Saturday and is good for both days.

If you wish to come as an Early Admission buyer, that cost is $30 and you are admitted during exhibitor set-up on Friday, the 9th.

Outside exhibitors start setting up at 8am and the inside opens at 9am.
Parking at the Expo is $7.00 or at Portland Meadows Horse Race Track for $5.00

(Shuttle provided).
There is food and beverage available but bring your favorite walking shoes. This is a show worth spending some time at.

You never know what treasure you’ll end up taking home with you!
See you at the show!

Blessings Julie

Yep, it's true....I couldn't be more excited.

I have been saving all my best pieces just for this show!!!!

One awesome piece I will be bringing is a very large wooden hospital cabinet from

Pendleton, OR. Definitely has the "WOW" factor.

Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful spring weather.

Now if the wind would just die down I could paint.

Five Minutes of Fame...

Last Saturday was the Camas Vintage Street Faire in downtown Camas.

Thank you Debbie and Laurie for a great show. You girls ROCK

We were greeted with lots of showers but that didn't seem to stop the shoppers one bit.

So today I am a little under the weather. It could have been being dripping wet, then cold the rest of the day. (forgot my rain coat) or just that Mike and Shelby have also been sick.

Sure enough Saturday night it hit me....

So I bet your wondering "OK, what does this have to do with 5 minutes of fame?"

MY CUBBY IS GONE

You all know I have a thing for cubbies.....

There was my first metal one...(didn't get a picture of her :()

Made her debut and then sold into slavery.

Then there was my second cubby (pictured below).

Only got to enjoy her at a couple of shows before she was also sold into slavery....

Third was my newest cubby. Isn't she beautiful. Only got to decorate her once, 5 minutes into the show...BAM sold into slavery to a lady who has a quilt shop in OC.....

Mind you I am not complaining. But my dear cubby....I will miss you......

Now I am on the lookout for cubby (not husband) #4

Blessings Julie

PS. if you find this post a little weird...it's the cold medicine.....

Vendor Spotlight #4 "Cottage Lights"

Welcome All.

Today we will spotlight Vendor #4

"Cottage Lights"

Also known as Marci Fitzgerald.

Marci has been reading decorating magazines since the age of 8. She has a true passion for design. Her addiction to textiles, lamps and furniture compelled me to be quite the gypsy for many years, moving from home to home so she could redecorate!

Marci wears many hats. From Saleswoman, Store Owner, Real estate Agent, to Interior Design.

I have often asked her which she likes best.....But I never get an answer....She must love it all.

Here are some pictures of the treasures you will find at the upcoming

Whimsical Wishes Show, April 25, 2009 10am-4pm in Camas, WA


Check out her attention to detail!!!


Everything in it's place.

Be sure to come by and say "HI" to Marci at our upcoming show.

See you on the 25th!

We Had a Great Time at the Portland Antique Expo.....

We truly enjoyed the show......  

It was our first time to do the Expo, so we were not sure what to expect.  I was a little nervous since I haven't done a show this size and I was concerned about the turnout due to the economy.

Setting Up......

My fears were put to rest Friday morning when the doors opened to "Early Admission" buyers.  Our furniture pieces were selling as fast as we could put them up.  After the initial burst of selling, it slowed down long enough to get the rest of our inventory out and up on display.  

We knew we needed some additional furniture, so we brought some more from our storage on Saturday.....those sold too!  Friday and Saturday there was a consistent flow of people through the show.  Sunday was slower, but we were told it would be that way.

We both have sore muscles and feet, but are full of enthusiasm and excitement for our upcoming April show, Whimsical Wishes, in Camas.  Don't forget to enter our Celebration Giveaway......you have until the luckiest of lucky days, St. Patty's Day, March 17th at 5:00 pm PST to post a comment here. 

We met some truly wonderful people at the show and got a chance to visit with some of our other blog friends who had booths there, as well. 

Here's a list of some of our friends who have written about their Expo experience:

Tickled Pink - Isabel

A Day in the Life - Auntie Joy

Today's Country Store - Kris & Amy

I'll add more, if I find them!

Blessings,

Christa and Julie
