Pop-up shop success


Well, it was a pop-up shop success. Here's my pal Nadia at the beginning of the day, yesterday, with all our vintage goodies for sale.



The traffic ebbed and flowed, but we met so many great peeps in the hood, and I had the chance to connect with a dedicated reader, Darlene, who made the trek to meet me and take a gander. Wish I had snapped a pic of her!




Daina from Continuum Moderin Vintage popped by too, and bagged two glorious purses, one a vintage Coach and the other a vintage clutch.




Dear readers, I tried not to shop, but I did walk away with this vintage Kangol beret made in England, and this fab carpet bag. J'adore!


Ok, by day's end I also had these designer jeans (tight!). I'm wearing the silk scarf as the sun was burning my ears.


This is how I will look when I'm 80, like some Babushka with her head scarf, hopefully still sipping some vino!

It was such a fine day - thanks to all who came out and Tweeted about the event. There will be more - I have piles more of goodies to get rid of - so stay tuned!

  2. Noooo...missed it again! Must pay closer attention; I've been away and off my blog-reading routine - I usually check yours first!

  5. Kris, so funny - brought handbags and jewellery only as (thinking back on the success of the garage sale I did with a pal earlier in the summer where the bling sold like hotcakes) I thought they'd do well - but Nadia was going crazy selling clothing. So I ran home later and brought back coats and sold two in half an hour! Go figure!

  6. You can never predict. Retail is perplexing. ; )
