Cleveland Flea 9/14/13-Recap!

Well, this is a first-I actually took pictures at the Flea! Only took me four dates to remember to do so...
Thanks to a wonderful article by Alison Carey at the Plain Dealer (and GORGEOUS weather!) there was a great turnout and I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of new customers and vendors. I'm especially enjoying the little Flea community that's developing and having repeat customers!

shoes!purses!sweaters!
also, you can see some great midcentury furnishings from All Things For You in the background. Those guys were great! They were nice enough to help me put up my tent during the morning craziness! Hopefully we'll be neighbors again!

lots of great finds across the way at Yellow Door Goods!
as usual, my friend Anne had an absolutely stunning booth. Check out her jewelry at www.oceanne.net

beautiful bouquets from a lovely flower vendor. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name. Anyone???

thank you to everyone who came out!! Looking forward to the Oktoberflea!

Fall Is Coming

Like most people, as much as I enjoy the sun-dresses and open-toed shoes of summer, the boots and scarves of fall hold a special place in my sartorial heart! 
Cleveland has been 'blessed' with 90 degree temperatures the last couple of days (we set a record high of 96 degrees on Tuesday!) and frankly, I am happy to see that go. Luckily, as I write, the temperature is dropping and we're looking at sunny with a high of 63 for this Saturdays' Flea. Hallelujah! 
To get us excited for the slowly dropping temperatures, I've posted some pics of some new-to-the-shop crisp weather goodies for sale this Saturday!

Beautiful, embroidered 60's shift 

Chunky wool sweater coat 

70's tribal open jacket

Turquoise cape handmade in Guatemala 

and just because, these beautiful Art Deco inspired heels!

See you at the Flea!

Flea Inspiration

Well, everyone, another Cleveland Flea is upon us. Hurrah! I wasn't able to participate last month because of The Color Run, but I'm so excited to be back for September! Like before, I want to share a little bit of what's inspiring me for displays. Hopefully you'll be able to come out and see some of this inspiration in practice!
Lots of industrial, distressed pieces for display. I was lucky to find some really cool pieces at the Medina Flea Market and hope to incorporate (and possibly sell!) them. 

Just love everything about this!

Crates + chalkboard signage

 I'm not planning on moving in to an airstream anytime soon but I really appreciate how efficiently Blossom Vintage uses her space. 

And while I'm at it, another shot of a Blossom Vintage pop-up shop

Ideas are still brewing and constantly evolving so you'll just have to come out to the Flea on September 14th to see what I come up with!
