No rain!

Another great day at A Paris Street Market!

A million thanks to my dear friend Lisa Iannacito,

woke up at 3:30 am to help me setup my booth.

Thank you to all my customers,

especially my repeat customers.

So grateful for a great end to a very successful season

at A Paris Street Market

Lisa's daughter, Sophie Lisa's friend Becky stayed at the end of the market

to help us pack the booth and load the U-haul van.

Thank you Lisa, Sophie and Becky for all your help!

A Paris Street Market, September 5th 2015

Today is my mom's birthday!  Happy Birthday Mom!

I can't believe it's almost 2 weeks since A Paris Street Market, September 5th.  I worked very hard to prepare lots of new items for this market.  Among them, lots of vintage hankie scarves.   I want to thanks June's friend who purchased 8 hankie scarves just before the market!

Which brings me to my dear friend June's visit from San Antonio.  June has been traveling to visit me for years.  She visits me for my birthday!  She is like a sister.  We take care of each other... always.  This year was no different.   She was also here to help me with A Paris Street Market, especially since my market assistant (my daughter Laura) is away at college.  True friends wake up at dawn to help you!  Next month my dear friend Lisa will be waking up at dawn to help me with October's A Paris Street market!  I am so grateful for my true friends!  Thank you!  You know who you are.

Thank you June Leyendecker!  You helped me so much at the market.  We had so much fun Thursday as we enjoyed Voodoo doughnuts, found treasure at 2 estate sales and had lunch at Toast in downtown Littleton.  Friday,  more estate sale shopping then you helped me with the final preparations for A Paris Street Market.  Saturday, you were with me from start to finish.  I could not of done it without you.

The September market was fantastic!  Thank you to all my customers.  Among the new items I had lots of vintage pillows (most sold), many new Halloween theme garlands/banners, vintage linen garlands, bottle brush trees dyed orange, black, candy-corn colors

 and the best selling item...

Halloween Paper Houses

I love making these houses for Christmas.

Finally got around to making them for Halloween.

So glad I did.

Happy to know I am not the only one who likes them.

Sold so many Halloween houses that by the time I got around to taking photos (afternoon), my Halloween house display look pretty dismal. It's a good problem to have!

I have since worked to replenish my inventory of Halloween Paper Houses for the October A Paris Street Market and an event (TBA) with my other true friend, Amy Kozdron of the Pink Attic Cat.

The new houses are created using the new Halloween papers from some of my favorite scrapbook paper companies which I ordered shortly after September's A Paris Street Market.

I normally take pictures of my booth in the morning but we were so busy, it wasn't until the afternoon when I took pictures.  By then lots had already been sold.  I kept re-hanging my garlands/buntings to replace those sold.  Again, a good problem to have.  The sun was also bright, so many of the photos are rather dark.  I lightened them as best as I can.  Anyway, here are the photos!

I had 27  new vintage hankie scarves, this is all that is left!

 

 

 

This display had about 55 Halloween Paper Houses.  Not many left! Have since re-stocked inventory.

Lots of Vintage Hankie garlands.  Priced by # of Hankies on the garlands.

 

A Paris Street Market, May 2nd, 2015

It is now Tuesday and I am must getting to posting pictures from last Saturday's, A Paris Street Market. 

Worried the week before about the rain forecast for Saturday May 2nd...

Sunny skies with occasionally cloudy skies but NO RAIN!  At least not during the market hours!

Great day at the market!

Thanks to everyone who came and helped me have a successful day!

I want to especially thank my dear friend, Lisa Iannacito who came by after working all night at the hospital.  She is a nurse, who like me, loves all things vintage.  She came early in the morning to hang out and help me at the market. 

With my daughter Laura getting ready to graduatte high school, I missed having her helping me at the market.  Laura has been my helper for several years.  I will have to get use to doing the markets without her since she will be going away to college this August!

I am grateful my husband and son Alex (age 11) woke up at dawn (not kidding) to help me setup at A Paris Street Market.   My daughter, Laura, did come help me at the end of the day after she was done with her volunteer hours to full-fill her National Honor Society requirements.  I appreciate her coming at the end of the day to  help me pack up my booth.  Especially since that is when I am feeling pretty exhausted.   I will really miss seeing her everyday this coming August when she goes away to school.

Sunday, my son Alex and I had a movie date.  We went to see the Avenger's Movie.  I think I enjoyed watching his reaction to all the movie previews the most!  He could barely contain his enthusiasm when we saw previews for Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Batman vs. Superman!  I promised him we would see them all!

Monday, most of my day was spent working on the announcement card for Laura's graduation.  On one side I have pictures of her from 1st through 12th grade.  It took time to gather the photos and scan the school pictures but it was well worth the time and effort.  The front of the card has a photo of her in Kindergarten along with her Senior picture.  Thanks to Sam's Club, I was able to have everything printed the same day.  I was up till 1 a.m. addressing all the graduation announcements. They were all mailed early this morning.

Today, I spent time helping my friend Amy at her shop, The Pink Attic Cat.

Most Tuesdays, you will find me at the Pink Attic Cat.

A sampling of Isa Creations can be found at the Pink Attic Cat.

Quick reminder:  Isa Creations will be at the Horseshoe Craft & Flea Market this Saturday.

So finally, here are some highlight pictures of my booth at A Paris Street Market.
