(song pairing: Blue Champagne)
Sunday's Alameda was an absolute blast,
Sunday's Alameda was an absolute blast,
I know I keep saying this, but it truly is like a party !
I affectionately like to say, this is where my people gather !
My kids like to help out and like the good sports they are, they're up at 1:30 am ready to make the 2hr drive.
Since I can only fit one helper in the rented truck at a time, they have to take turns in making the trek with me. This time, it was my almost-sweet-sixteen daughter, Courtney's turn.
It's a lot of work, but every show is time I treasure with them.
( I cannot wait until I can buy my own SUV and trailer so we can all go together ! )
I didn't get much of a chance to take pictures, but thought I'd share what I did have
One of the items sold was this 6 ft tall champagne marquee sign.
here it is by night ...
and by day ...
A 3 ft round Chanel mirror and portable herb garden ala vintage schwinn ...
But the best thing of all is the friends, old and new, who stop by
never misses a show and always stops for an early morning "hey !"
The wickedly cool Kimberly Edgar of Edgar and Edgar
I finally had the pleasure of meeting the stylish Miss Terri of La Dolfina and her husband in person !
Check out her latest posting about the giant shell she scored
( what total sweethearts !! )
These ladies have great blogs/websites worth checking out !
I'm totally gushing aren't I ?
Anyway ... so many other new friends ( not sure if they wanted their name on here ).
But you know who you are !!! ;)
** JUST IN **
Another new friend, professional photographer extraordinaire Suzie Mckig of Twig and Fig

check out her letterpress shop they do absolutely gorgeous
"couture invitations" and "social stationary" !

we almost had lift-off on more than one occasion
& finally had to remove the roof and walls to the tent ...
