Here I am with Olivia and Peety in our matching aprons. Snappy huh? They had a Western theme so we did our best to get a little cowgirled up. I found my blouse at Goodwill (3.99) and was so excited (it's Ann Taylor Loft) until I washed it and realized all the elastic in it was completely shot so I was up late the night before replacing the elastic in the neck and sleeves. But I love it now. (thank you Jamie for the pictures!)
This gal had a fabulous corner! It was like gypsy bling-land!
More!
This is the inside of her travel trailer. She had two chandeliers and this pretty Frida Kahlo shrine area.
Some great celebrity sightings too! Can you find Heather Bailey?
And we were thrilled when we saw Barb and Mary from Me and My Sister Designs (for Moda)! Here they are with Jamie and as you can see Jamie is wearing her quilt made from their Oh Cherry Oh! collection (and it's their quilt pattern too!). Fun! Jamie makes beautiful quilts and she sold a bunch. In fact for a little while there were two gals having a stand off over her things. They each kept waiting for the other one to put a quilt down so they could snap it up (and they each knew what the other was thinking so it was kind of funny to watch). Cheap thrills.
Heather had a fabulous booth (hard to believe, right?) with her fabrics and Trash Ties and once she showed up fans were lining up to chat with her. This picture was at the end of the day and I snapped a quick shot of these cute newlyweds walking by.
Kachina in a tutu. Too too funny.
This trailer was lots of fun too. We were very grateful for this vendor because she had paper parasols for 5.00 and we really needed them since we had no cover over our booth (one of those things we'll be sure to have next time!). But I had a nice tan on my arms at the end of the day so it wasn't a complete disaster.
This gal had some wonderful hand milled soaps but I just really liked her cute little pink sewing machine.
My girls went crazy at this booth. Oodles of vintage jewelry at great prices and Peety found a darling set of 4 dishes in a gorgeous pattern for her hope chest.
Oh and Elvis and Wynonna were there!! Together!
Hello!
Another great vendor. Cute antiques and painted furniture.
I loved this couch! And they had these great lamp shade covers that were made with scrunched up fabrics and gathered ruffles (I may have to make my own!).
I also saw Tara Frey there but by the time I grabbed my copy of her book and went to find her she had already left. Bummer! Stephanie and Christian Nielson were there too and it was great to see them in town (they lived in Mesa before their plane accident). All in all a good day spent with a fun friend and my sweet gals! Bliss Fest indeed!
