Almost Funky Time

I'm happy to share this AWESOME event that I'll be at (again) in just 1 short week

The Funky Flea!

This year will be the third time I've done the Funky Flea - and it is an event I really look forward to doing. The crowd is great, the location is spectacular and I hear the forecast is going to be more than favorable. Can't go wrong with Sun and Fun. You can check out the vendor list Here. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the other sellers there, like RosMari Brand and my neighbor from last year Vintage Relief, plus many more (Just check out that list of sellers - no, really, go look at it!)

I am so excited for the show, and I have so many things to share. Hope to see you then!

What A Funky Time

Yesterday I got up bright and early and packed my car to head to the Everson Museum for the 3rd Funky Flea. By 8:30 we were finally parked (after circling the block twice) and unloading. I managed to get my tent fixed, so I was able to finally use for a show! I put the bent side at the back so hopefully it wasn't noticeable.

I was a little worried about the weather, but other than a few blustery gusts of wind, it was fantastic all day. There was a great crowd of people, both customers and other vendors I got to chat with.

It was a little different being able to set up TWO tables, since I've been so used to the limited space at the Indie Garage Sale. I almost didn't know where to put things - and I realized I really need to do some work on my display. There are two other shows I applied to for this year and they are also bigger sized booths, so  coming up with new ideas will keep me busy.

I loved that the event was at the Everson. Such a great location - 

There was a good mix of vendors selling vintage items, artwork, and other handmade crafts - I'm always tempted to buy so much, but this time I managed to keep my spending pretty low - I got a dress for little M from Sleevescape, and 2 silver trays from a booth 2 spots down from me.

The food vendors were fantastic - Darwin had the BEST turkey clubs, and Roji Tea Lounge  had some delicious libations to enjoy.

 In closing, here are some more photos of my booth -

Did you go to the Funky Flea? What did you think? What did you buy? I'd love to hear. Also, any suggestions for my booth layout are more than welcome.

Stay Funky

Funky Flea Recap and Facebook Fan Milestone

Hey Friends! Did you miss me? I've been a little busy.

Last weekend was the Funky Flea

 I met some great people, and also got a lot of cool new ideas.

It was also a learning experience - Since it was an outdoor market we were at the mercy of the weather. It sprinkled on and off throughout the day, but I think I was one of only 2 or 3 vendors that didn't have a gazebo or tent cover - I went out and bought one right after the show, though. Next time I'll be better prepared!

The last few shows I haven't had any signage other than my business cards, so the night before the show I took some stencils and bronze paint and created some quicky shop signs. A little rough, but at least it helped people know who I was! I'll soon be looking into making a banner for my table, too.

We had a few treats, like pretty cupcakes and cookies from the Wild Flour Baking Co!

There was a lot of entertainment, too - a few bands performed during the show, as well as these guys in orange suits -

Altogether it was a lot of fun! I look forward to doing more shows - I've already gotten applications in for both the "Back To School Indie Garage Sale", as well as the next Salt City Urban Craft Market! fingers crossed that I get in, though it'll be a lot of work. Onward and upward!

Speaking of Upward - over the weekend my Facebook page reached 150 fans! To celebrate, I'm offering my first discount code for the shop - Use code "FB150" at checkout and receive 15% off your order! This is for in stock items and is not applicable to custom pieces. Good this week from 6/13 - 6/17 so act fast!

I'm going to be started on some new pieces soon, as well as working on updating this blog more often! Starting tomorrow with a new Tuesday Tutorial! It'll be something "out of this world" *hint hint*.

Happy Monday!
