I wanted to share with all of you the lovely little show I will be participating in tomorrow night! My friend Laurie has generously opened her beautiful home to some of us for a little Autumn event show casing our business's we are all diverse so this is not a "Vintage" event, but it will be a lot of fun and there are some wonderful girls displaying their wares........ If any of you are local I hope you will come out and see us!
I am off and running.....Yes it's true I will be doing the Sacramento Flea Market this Sunday, it will be my first show without the Other Tracey, my dear friend Carol has agreed to come down with me, believe me it's a lot to ask even a good friend, it's a long day we leave the biggest little city at 4am to arrive in Sac by 6:00, and the market starts at 8:00! I love doing them, meeting all the people seeing old friends and of course selling my goods. I am very excited and have been working hard to get everything prettified (is that a word) I'll be up late tonight and up early tomorrow finishing up all the details.
I wanted to show some of things that I will be taking down, some are already packed away......these are a few a things that I purchased recently when out thrifting this last week, the flea is also a great place for me to buy! hope you enjoy browsing through my photos, I'll let you know how it all turns out!

I had a wonderful weekend connecting with old friends from high school, it was my thirty year class reunion, Yikes.....when I say that it makes me feel old! I wasn't sure I was going to go, it was my hubs that said, you should go, you loved high school, and you had a lot friends......I'm sure you all have been through the doubts of attending old school functions, I look old, I look fat, I wear glasses, no one will recognize me, what if "my" friends aren't there......the whole thing, well, I gotta tell ya, it was a blast, I think it was the best one to date, I hadn't been since the five year, I actually think the girls looked better than the guys, I thought it might be the opposite so I was pleasantly surprised!
On Saturday my mom and I and my friend Becky from High School hit the thrift stores in the Walnut Creek area, they have some great ones.....I found some darling things to add to my booth at Junkee's and some fantastic mirrors to add to the collection at 41 Taylor.
It was a fun weekend of catching up, remembering old friends and the good times we had in High School!
The Other Tracey and I had a wonderful day on Sunday, We headed down to the Tattered House Vintage Market thetatteredhouseblog.blogspot.com for our last show together as the "Tracey's" that's what everyone calls us! I actually love it! there is a certain endearment about the way it sounds and it will always carry fond memories for me, It wouldn't matter if we were at Junkee's fixing up our booths or setting up for an event, They would say "oh it's the Tracey's" and we would look at each other and laugh, it's funny even our Moms have the same name, what are the chances of that.......I tell ya, it's been quite a ride, although I feel some days it has come to an abrupt halt......I am slowly letting go, missing her and she isn't even gone yet....here I am a grown women and I feel like when I was in the 6th grade and my best friend moved away, I was a mess.....didn't think I could go back to school and finish out the 6th grade, maybe that's whats wrong with me, sorry I got a little side tracked.......The Tattered House Vintage Market was a success! the beautiful tree lined setting, the cool fall morning, it was a blessing as the afternoon really heated up, we were able to visit with all the friends we have made and share with them our plans for our future, separately......they were such an encouragement to me, all with offers to help at the shows, whatever I needed......
We had friends that came down from Reno to see the market, and The Other Tracey saw many of her blog followers, she was touched by how many came to see her off and wish her well. It was a slow and easy kind of day, we got set up and and torn down it record time,it was the kind of day that we got to visit, laugh, remember past events and be grateful for the friendship we have. This was a lovely day with The Other Tracey acottageindustry.typepad.com
