Photo Review of The Farm Chicks Antiques Show 2010

As usual The Farm Chicks Antiques Show was a visual extravaganza which I delighted in taking photos of...

 

 

 

These two ladies, Missy Allison and Shawna June Lee, looked super cute standing in their Camp Round-Up booth.

If I could have bought anything I wanted it would have been the light up vanity set with cosmetics, the Carnation milk truck or the salesman sample Samsonite suitcase.

Some of the booths that I visited and took photos of are: Jennifer Osner, Forget-Me-Not, Poor Pitiful Pam, Lucy Janes, Wanderlux, Ormolulu, Carousel, Antiquarian, Maison Douce, Country Nesters, Orange Crush Exports, Fun Junk, The Original Blue Canoe, This Old House Old & New, The Shops at Station 8, Unexpected Necessities, Camp Round-Up, and Rose~Marie.

July 2009 Portland Antique Expo Parade of Vintage Style

I had tons of fun this weekend at the July Portland Antique Expo!
I met lots of nice and stylish people.
Check them out (for more pics from the show click here)...

Cousins, Emily and Olivia, dropped by my booth all three days of the show. Each day they had different cute vintage ensembles on. They were so sweet and looked so cute in their dresses. On the last day of the show they each brought me a bouquet of lavender. What sweethearts...

Solanah of Vixen Vintage

This lady had the absolute perfect figure for vintage clothing. She would slip the dresses on over her clothes and they would always fit her...

Tressie of Funkoma Vintage. It was so great to meet her in person after knowing of her in the online vintage world for so long...

This was the coolest shirt ever...

It doesn't get much more swank than this...

My husband Chris browsing the rack of Men's clothing...

Me posing with an Enid Collins purse. The collection of Enid Collins purses that I had in my booth lured so many people in for a closer look (the other smash hit of the show was this orange floral dress- but, unfortunately the size was too small for most women)...

Anthony Choice had great style and a wonderful singing voice...

Miss Ruby LaMour...

The Farm Chicks Show 2009

This past weekend my husband Chris and I made a quick trip up to Spokane, Washington for The Farm Chicks Show. We arrived on Saturday evening, went out for dinner and then met up with Maggie of DeniseBrain and her husband John for a drink at the bar in the basement of our hotel. I was delighted to meet Maggie, and Chris and I really enjoyed getting to know her and John. Sunday morning we had breakfast and then wandered around near our hotel and took photos of old signs and buildings. We had lunch at a diner located inside of an old train car. I then headed off to The Farm Chicks Show while my husband went off to the museum and the local gardens. I only had about three or four hours to explore The Farm Chicks Show- but, in that time I was able to hit all of the booths, take photos and chat with people.
To see photos that we took of Spokane's vintage neon signs and architecture click here, to check out photos that we took of Spokane's grand Davenport Hotel click here.
Here's the 2009's Farm Chicks Show photo extravaganza...

Lou, the cowboy, offered to pose with a bride doll in his wife's booth and I happily took him up on his offer (earlier in the day when Chris and I were out taking photos of Spokane a police officer struck a pose and asked if I wanted to take his photo and I said yes- but, before I could snap one he had wandered off and was talking on his walkie talkie).

A lovely trio of ladies (the girl on the right gave me an incredibly cute coloring book that she had made)

This young lady was looking through calling cards. She was wearing a vintage camera around her neck and carrying a pretty vintage purse.

This young lady was wearing clothing from her friends booth (Effie's Heart) and just looked so cute!

John Bob Cool Junk, The Old Trunk Antiques, Orange Crush Exports, Mimis*Vintage*Goods, Uptown Antiques & Espresso, Gossamer Designs, Fun Junk, Kitsch Bitsch Productions, Julie Button's, Foxglove Antiques, Bella Shabby, Candywinkel, Finders Keepers, Effie's Heart
