Cats and Dogs and Flea Markets

Since this year I've been steadily Pet-sitting,

I have had a limitless supply

of fur-baby photos.

In the midst of all of this

I was a vendor twice at the Beaverton Flea Market.

I haven't participated in a Flea since a few years ago

at Plucky Maidens.

The Beaverton Flea has a different clientele,

since it's outside with no admission,

meaning more casual passers-by than 

vintage shoppers on a mission.

Another difference though was the fact that

I shared a double space with my junking friend Joyce,

who's participated in this flea several times

throughout the year. She asked if I'd like to

share a space, and I jumped at the chance.

We each had a similar old ladder, so we decided

to use them as display shelving units.

I loved how they turned out!

We got lots of compliments and many pictures

were taken from visitors.

A fun accent we came up with was inspired by
the 4th of July, since our first shared booth
was on the 3rd. We wanted a vintage-looking banner
but wanted something easy and quick.
Enter my old stack of red, white & blue Bingo cards,
plus new clothespins that I ebonized to look old!

It tied the 2 spaces together, was whimsical, and
a conversation piece!

The joy of sharing a space is you can entertain each other

during the down times, and you have help with set-up.

I'm hoping this flea finds an indoor venue for the holiday season,

because I always have a million creation ideas

for Christmas, and some might work better 

in person than online.

Well, that's it for now.
I do plan to have more time again
for blog posts!
