Oh gosh, where do I start with these two amazing events??!! Sunday night of Antiques Week is always ended with a Blog Party at Theresa Cano's booth at Zapp Hall. Here at this party you can meet bloggers from all over and get a face with the blog. I'm here with Cindy in this pic. She travels all over just about as much as I do, and has an amazing studio! Just check out her blog. She also was a guest reporter in the last issue of Blissfully Traveled.
Theresa always has a guest vendor and surprises at her parties. I didn't get to stay very long because I had to run back to my booth, but luckily enough I am close to Theresa and could run back and forth! This vendors jewelry was gorgeous.
She also had a Chalk Paint demo going on as well, and everyone was very interested to see how the paint works.
These two ladies are Gwen and Terri of French by Design-vendors at Marburger Farm and owners of Kansas City's Bottoms Up Vintage Market. They sell some of the best French inspired and industrial antiques you'll find. Super nice gals!
And now, on to the Prom! My neighbor Darlah and I helped this cute girl get her Prom outfit together with this huge petticoat and one of my vintage Tattered Bliss slip tops. SHe looked so adoable!
Here are Heidi and I waiting for everyone to get ready so we could head on over to the Junk Gypsy tent for prom. Now, if you don't know what the Junk Gypsy Prom is, you must put it on your "bucket list" It is always held on a thursday night of antiques week, and everyone dresses up in vintage attire, or whatever crazy outfit they can imagine and dances the night away!
This is silly Lesley, she bought the altered slipdress from me that she is wearing. It looked so gorgeous on her, almost a kind of "flapper" look. Love it! She was posing like my mannequin. Crazy girl.
We also had to have a little Pre-prom-party at my booth as well. SO much fun!
At this point, I think the heat was getting to me, everyone was wanting me to pose crazy in my "girdle dress" I made. If you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?? Right?
These crazy girls stopped by my booth and I had to have a photo of them. Their outfits were fun and funky, and they were a blast!
ANd here is the sweet picture of Cindy and I .....
And now the bad girl photo....LOL. I felt like I should've received some beads after this shot!
My other booth neighbor Danny aka "Cat Daddy" playing his best air guitar. He is too funny, always ready for a party!
Sorry the pic is a bit blurry, but everyone is dancing so much it's hard to get a good one. This is the John Evans band, and they are soooo good. SO fun to listen to, kinda rock-a-billy, country, and plain ol' rockin out music! We danced and danced.
There are just so many people, and so many great outfits. I loved the "Pink Ladies" that showed up!
Here are my Junk Mafia friends from KC-Ed,Fancy, and Darren. They have a great radio show about junking and recycling. Check them out online!
Me with the Junk Mafia boys, and Chuck in the yellow is a local resident with this beautiful farm that he opens up for friends. And pulls stuck vans out of ditches, you'll just have to ask me in person about that story! Let's just say I was never so happy to see a Junk Mafia tshirt in all my life!
My friend Sarah of Sarah Smith Salvage Style in her booth at Zapp Hall. This girl does as many shows as I do. She is now on her way to Georgia for the COuntry Living Fair. She has a fun industrial style of jewelry and vintage finds. Her booth is always fun to photograph.
I have to end this post with this photo of Amie of Junk Gypsies at the Prom. Her and her family work tirelessly to put this event together, and with all the filming for HGTV and just the work of putting their tent together for antiques week. Thay always smile, stop for pictures, and are just all around sweet. Each night I saw them they were exhausted and ready for some rest, but still stopped to say hi. I hope their show will be a huge success, I know it will be. They have worked long and hard for this and are pioneers of this "gypsy movement" that I love and adore. They validated my love of all things fun and funky. Thanks ladies for a fun time as always!
Blissfully Yours, Tricia
What fabulous outfits! You all look great. Grace xoox

The fabric of public society lies in the manners of the individuals that make up that society. To hold this fabric together, you have to have those manners. If you don’t have them, then public society will kick you out.
