At the beginning of June, my mom and I were involved in the re-inVintage Fair in Eldon, Missouri. It's a cute little fair that happens once or twice a year, and vendors from all over the place come to display their wares. It's hosted by Janice Cielo, owner of Julia Price's Tearoom (and a good friend of my mom's).
We had a few of our regular vendors, including Rachel Ropp of ECO Rococo. Here's a just some of the BUNCHES of awesome stuff she always brings:
It's an end table AND and doggie bed!
We also had some new vendors - like Sara Windsor of The Creative Soul. All I can say is that this girl has some massive talent - I was going absolutely nuts over her stuff:
I wish I'd gotten more pictures, because she doesn't just make incredibly unique and intricate jewelry pieces - she actually started out making collages. She had all kinds of wall art and shadow boxes and decorated bottles and even a book she'd been working on; I really hope she comes back for the next fair. :) Click here to see her shop on Etsy - it's well worth it!
I, of course, slaved over cupcakes the night before and brought them along with my jewelry.
I didn't get very good pictures of them, but they were terribly pretty, if I do say so (and they didn't taste too bad, either). ;)
On the second day, Rachel gave me some broken pieces of jewelry that she had in a jar, and before she left I managed to throw them together and gave it back to her:
Nowhere near as awesome as Sara's stuff, but I felt pretty cool afterwards. ;) Good days.
Janice has just announced that the next fair is scheduled for September. I'm excited. It's always a fun time. :D
