Holiday Flea-Recap

Posting this a little later than I wanted but here's a mini-recap of The Cleveland Flea's Holiday Market last weekend. 
It was an event I was a bit apprehensive about doing given that it was two-days and right at the beginning of a very hectic holiday season but thanks to some wiser craft-show pros I decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did! The Cleveland Fleas have always been a positive experience. Not just because of great sales (although that definitely helps!) but I've met such wonderful vendors and customers that I hope to continue in relationship with. 

November's Flea was held in the ballroom of the beautiful Slovenian National Home with live Christmas trees and wreaths in the courtyard. There was also a pop-up shop right off of the stairs. 
Not only was the market two days but there was also a 'sneak peek' sponsored by Picadilly's, Jeni's and Sterle's on Friday night.
My roommate (left) and I with bellies full of delicious frozen yogurt and beer at the sneak peek!
My neighbor, 23 Skidoo's teepee dressing room was the clear winner of the Flea. The illuminated mannequin in the back left was a close second.
Because of all of the craziness (and my forgetfulness) on Saturday, I was only able to take a few pictures of my setup on Sunday. 
Day two set-up after doing a bit of rearranging due to reduced inventory. Not such a bad problem to have :)
Happy customers! My friend Jackie (on the left) was also selling vintage and handmade leather goods that weekend. Check her etsy shop out at Parivrtta!

I feel so unbelievably blessed by all of the vendors, customers, and the totally awesome Flea crew. The success and fun I had last weekend solidified my desire to keep ode{vintage} going and see what else God has in store for me. Thank you all for your support! 
Can't wait to see what 2014 will bring!
