wheelin' and deallin'

happy monday everyone! hope you all had a great weekend!

this saturday was my alma mater's annual spring fair so the mister and i woke up bright and early saturday morning and headed over to oakland which is a couple cities north. we got there early, snagged a table and a couple of chairs and set up.

***the pictures that came from this roll came out really cool and we have no idea how it got that nice glow, if anyone cares to show we would love it!***

  my shits glow-ing!!!!

i always like taking pictures of my display so that i can review it and see how i can improve. plus it is a chance for me to step back and look at the overall presentation of it. it is hard to do it while at the fair as i am always nervous and have things to do before the crowd comes.

well it wasn't the greatest turn-out but sometimes you win some and some times you lose some. i didn't do horrible but i didn't do great. the spring fair is never a huge haul but it is always great to have the experience and get your name out there. we sat next to the jazz band that was playing which was really nice...the mister and i wiggled and snapped along to the music while sitting in our seats :D

after the fair, i dropped some owls earrings off at one of the local shops i sell at and then hit up the neighborhood thrift store. i was really excited to find a pair of black boots that i have been dying to find! they are gonna replace my doc martins which i will add to my shop when i have a moment.

i also found this pocket watch at the thrift store that has an engraving of a ship, i LOVE IT!! i had the perfect chain for it too, yay!


the rest of weekend was full of weed pulling and sewing, sewing, sewing!

how was your weekend?

sorry no bike chick tip today :( i didn't have enough time to write a post but i will have a bike post later on this week but for now here are some things i found while on my vacation in new england!

while in woodstock, vermont we stopped in this really cute vintage store which is the oldest vintage in america! i wish i could remember the name of the place because they had really amazing clothes and hats and they played the best music to shop to. while there i found this really great cream dress for $5!!! it is a bit too big on top but that is nothing a little sewing can't fix :D also found this really awesome white collared button up with an eagle embroidered on it! it fits like a glove and i can't wait to wear it on the weekend...i wish i could wear to work but it might not be appropriate BUT i haven't had time to play with it so it might make its way into a work outfit :)

after breakfast one day we stopped at the salvation arm....this place was also truly amazing...i think any small town will always have the best treasure...i am kicking myself because their was a ralph lauren blazer there that had a metal embroidered eagle on the front pocket..it was the business but too big...now i want to fly back and buy it and get it tailored..i hate when that happens! oh well too late i guess :( but i did find some untouched doc martens that i have been wanting for a really long time! i can't wait to wear these with a cute floral print dress :)  i was so happy that they were my size...i have a really hard time finding cute shoes my size while thrifting...sometimes i wish i had a size 6 foot...i would have the most awesome closet full of shoes!


i'll post more pictures of my trip....waiting for one more roll to get developed!
