About 9 months ago when I was in Springerville,AZ for a friends wedding, I was driving around town looking for garage sales and the pretty houses. I drove past this one, super cute, an Airstream in the side yard, an out building that looks like a small barn, and gorgeous greenery. It was just cozy to look at. I loved it.
Fast forward to two days ago, Heidi and I drive up to Springerville to meet with our new friend Thalia who owns the little shop up there that I swooned over last August. We meet her at her shop Bluebird Vintage, and she has us follow her 3 doors down to this house!!! My jaw dropped, small world, right??? She owns this little piece of heaven. And I was going to be staying the night in it! It's seriously like a doll house.
love the pink door with the fork as a handle...
bits of rusty, crusty-ness everywhere...
this pretty arrangement greets you at the door...
who doesn't need a pink painted antler head on their porch??
and a barn with a white picket fence, love.................
this is the living room, its' the coziest place on the planet, love the Italian wedding blanket, I want one soooo bad!!!
everything Thalia owns in here is vintage,floral, and just plain pretty...
and a bit gypsy, too....
and this is her vintage glorious kitchen, it's like an ice cream shop kitchen, the checkered floor, pink/white table, and vintage trinkets everywhere! Love it all!!!
these chairs at her kitchen table, have the carvings Peace and Love on them, I've never seen anything like them, they are too adorable!
it's hard to see in this photo, but the tile is a pale pink, can you tell I'm going crazy with all this cuteness!!
and yes.....a pink stove too....so cute!
this is a parlor room with the cozy little fireplace, and Thalia there on the phone..
it's filled with pretty linens, floral wallpaper, and so many pretty pillows.
and yes, more pink antlers, lol
chippy peely cabinets are everywhere as well...
Thalia has a love of old barkcloth, like me too..... oh, and a chippy peely shutter as well
Meet Bisou, her cutie little doggy that likes to runaway....her bedroom is absolutely dreamy
love this piece too...
old pretty dressers are all around her room
Thalia and her horse, and she has a donkey, a goat, her daughter has a turtle, and a rabbit, she just needs chickens now, lol
And this is crazy Thalia, who owns this amazing little house, she is a true gypsy spirit. ANd if you love her style, you can find it at Merchant Square Antique Mall in Chandler, you'll know which booth is hers when you walk around. Thanks Thalia for letting me dream in your home for a day. :)

This is "Ranch Barbi Style" aka Pauline Sierras. She has no blog, but too much style for one anyways. She is a collector of all things wickedly vintage and just down right cool! i met Pauline a few years ago, she loved my altered bottles, and has bought many, probably owns more of them than I do! LOL
This is Pauline with her family at last weeks Melrose Vintage Lucky Market. And her awesome Airstream in the picture above. She has made it very "Ranch Barbi" That is her style and her business name.
If you look at her door to the trailer in the background it has two vintage toy guns on the vintage pink color of the door. It's way too cool!
Here is the ceiling of her Ranch Barbi Airstream. Love all of it! And yes, she and her family go camping in this mansion on wheels!
all things rusty, crusty, fur, and velvety!!
Don't you just want to stay in here?? I love everything she has done with this metal mansion!
And no vintage Airstream is complete without a real bear rug in it! Right??!! ya know, just something picked up from the ranch. LOL
Myself with Ranch Barbi. A gypsy at heart. Besos, as she always says. You can find Pauline's findings for sale at Rust & Roses in Phoenix and a few other shops in town. If you are lucky enough to catch her at a show, make sure to take a look at her treasures for sale. She's a gem!

I had an absolute blast at The Big Heap lasst weekend. Even though I am completely exhausted it was totally worth it. So great to see lots of friends from near and far. This is one of my favorite pics from the weekend. Myself, Jordan from JLicious Tacos, and Heidi. Too much laughter with these girls around! And our crazy get ups!
This family, my friends from Cali, The Cerdas made it even more special. They are the cutest and funniest family on the planet! if you see their set up at show, GO SEE them! You'll love both Victor and Priscilla's handmade goods and found treasures.
This is one of Priscilla's creations, gotta have the vintage trailer art!
One more for the trailer lovers in the house! Go to Priscilla's blog and etsy shop to purchase.
This is my new friend, Talia but I feel like we have been friends for a long time-gypsy souls I think. She doesn't have a blog, but she is on FB. This is the gal I met last year in Springerville, and kinda stalked her until she opened her store, you can read about it here. SHe brought down her other, yes other little vintage trailer to set up with. We have a similar taste and style of vintage lovliness. And she is just a ton of fun! And don't worry if you missed her you can go to her booth in Merchant Square in Chandler, to see all her gypsy treasures!
Here is a little bit of her set up at the show. Love all the color!
This is Miss Deb of Mercy & Grace. She is now dubbed the "Sassiest Girl in Cave Creek" She makes the most amazing handbags, with some very intersting companies looking at picking them up to sell, yippee for Deb!! She is crazy and a ton of fun!
This is a set up from Vagabond XChange. Danielle and Chris put together some super cool finds, always unique and interesting. Their booth is always a must stop.
I was loving this cast bronze deer head for some reason, I think I just loved it on this od scale. Should've bought it.
No show is complete or fun without this fashion-ista! Heidi had some really cool new pieces with her this time. Love the Chanel top.
Adored and adored this piece, just the whole ensemble.
And then there's Me! Here's a few shots from my set up...(One of my old signs I made years ago, I resurrected)
I can't stand these lamps(which means I love them), they are so vintagey-retro cool!
New bracelet designs...
One of Bobby and I's newest tin tile hearts with a soldered edge. Love the saying, love the piece.
I had to make up some of my altered bottles for this show, they just fit so well with the whole Cave Creek vibe.
Mary Emmerling was two booths over from me doing her book signings all weekend. She is such a crack up, one night we must go for drinks. She says the funnist things! She is such a sweet pea, always buys something from me. This time she bought my last tin tile aqua heart rhinestone cuff. It went perfect with all the turquoise she wears.
I can't thank Lori and Mickey enough for all their hardwork and time they put into this show. They are awesome show promoters! Next one will be in November! Yippee!!

Well, it was a cRaZy CrAzY weekend with both shows, but we(meaning pretty much my whole family) pulled it off. Huge thank you to my Sister-Becky for helping me at Melrose Vintage for 4 days. I could NOT have done any of that without her help, and my awesome son Anthony. He's the muscle and the sales of it all!
This picture is from the Big Heap on Thursday. I'm here with my girl Jordan of JLicious Tacos. The coolest taco truck on the planet and the yummiest tacos ever!!! This girl has some BIG things in the works, you'll be seeing more of her soon! Then, there's my gypsy partner Heidi, the fashionista extrodinaire! These girls are a ton of fun, can't wait to have more!
BUT! I have good news-----I have finally added at Facebook Page to my ever growing list of marketing jobs I do! Lucky me, right??!!

Are you ready for a crazy weekend filled with a ton of fun and shopping??? I am! In fact, I'm so crazy I'll be showing at two different places at the same time! Yes, I have officially lost it! First up. is the Lucky Market at Melrose Vintage on 7th Ave & Indian School Rd in downtown Phoenix. Wendy and Diane have the most beautiful shop and are opening up the back area for some great vendors for 3 days! Thursday 9-7, and Fri & Sat 9-6. My friends Annie of Dragonfly Dreams and Lori of Two Wild Roses are coming from California for this event. Annie creates the most beautiful altered clothing and handbags. Lori has the coolest vintage,antique, Victorian style treasures. You'll love their set ups. Always up to par! My sister will be helping me out with this booth, so you'll see her alot, I'll be in and out. But sister will have lots of her amazing collage sheets and other creations with her too.
Here's a little peek at something new I'll be bringing to the Market. I bought these industrial rusty trays while in Texas 2 weeks ago, with this project in mind. I really really loved making these, now just wish I would've bought more to make more. I used to have the prettiest little garden in a former home, and realized how much I missed it creating this garden trays. I think they would be so pretty on your tabletop out by the pool for the summer. I've got lots of new things to show you. See you thursday!
Then, starting on Friday thru Sunday is The Big Heap! This is entrance from last November's show. Mickey and Lori have hand picked some great vendors with treasures, handmade goods, art, and the coolest food trucks, vintage trailers, belly dancers, and the Willy Nilly Band. What more could you ask for? Oh? You want it in cute little Arizona town? You got it! Cave Creek-filled with shops, bars, restaurants, and character. It will all be here in one place. My travel partner in crime Paris Montana will be there and my new friend Natalia will be there with their super cute trailers. Wait til you see Natalia's treasures, she has a great eye for all things pretty. Check out the website for all the cool vendors that will be there. I'll be there with the Bliss Lounge and lots of new Original Tin Tile Jewelry and treasures! I brought back some interesting finds from Texas.
This is me with Mary Emmerling from last year at the show. She will be here for a book signing for her two new books. Yippee!!
Here's a little flashback to my set up there last time.
This is from my friend Deb of Mercy & Grace. She has super cool finds and decorating eye that is unmatched! There is so much more to see, so you will just have to come out and see for yourself. Make sure you get some duck tacos from these girls, their food is divine!
Yummy! Yummy!! Big Heap hours, friday & saturday 9-4, sunday 9-3. See you there!
Blissfully Yours, Tricia
