Saturday I took a road trip with my BFF Cindy to
The Vintage Bazaar held at Pettengill Farm in Salisbury, Massachusetts. The fair featured 175+ vendors selling antique and vintage finds and re-purposed goods. Lucky Cindy won us a pair of tickets from
Coastal Windows & Exteriors!

Topping my reasons for wanting to attend were seeing and supporting friendors
{new word alert: friendors = friends who are vendors!} Matthew and Jenny Mead and Danielle Driscoll.
Matthew Mead's signature style of collections grouped by color made for a display worthy of one of his publications. In addition to being a vendor, Matthew was a special guest and did a series of demos on creating summer centerpieces. Alongside Matthew was his partner in crime, Jenny.

Danielle and Luke Driscoll's Finding Silver Pennies booth was like a beautiful coastal furnishings store. Visit
this link to read Danielle's account of the weekend on her blog.
The bazaar was nicely done and reminded me of a mini
Country Living Fair.
Cari Cucksey and
Joanne Palmisano were also special guests on-hand to give demos and share tips.
There was live music, rows of food trucks and cool things all around!
I had a nice time despite a series of mishaps which included tripping over a food truck's cable and falling to the ground, hitting my head on a low-hanging window display, and losing an earring (which as it turns out, Jenny found)!
Besides leaving with my ankle swollen to the size of a tennis ball from my fall (I'm okay), I returned home with this pretty framed paint-by-number of yellow roses for the
Girlie Office
and this lovely vintage jadeite plant pot from Matthew, among a couple of other little things.
If all this sounds like a good time to you,
The Vintage Bazaar returns in September and November!
Just wear good footwear and watch for exposed cables.
Happy summer wishes!

ReplyDeleteSorry about your fall. I went last year twice and really enjoyed it. I was impressed by the quality of vendors. This year the rain kept me away on Sunday. Looking forward to September's bazaar.
