Cactus Creek & Weston, MO

This past weekend while I was in Kansas City on my way down to Texas for Antiques Week I made a stop at my friend Fancy's store-Cactus Creek in Weston, MO. It is a super cute, quaint little town just North of KC. I can see why she lives there, with quaint little entrances to homes like this. My curiousity got the best of me, I had to take a photo, and peek thru this fence to the home that sit on the hill above. How awesome to have entrance like this, I'd walk thru it everyday.

See the house at the top of the stairs??

As I came over the hill to the town, there are a ton of people and cars everywhere, they were having a Heritage Festival complete with parade. Lucky me! There were so many people for a little town! But I loved all the original buildings with almost all of them filled with a business,antique shops, galleries, and cafes. So cute!

This is the front of Fancy's shop, and the coolest part-----she gets to live above the store! Gahhh! My dream! And it is super cute and totally her style-I got a tour-yippee!

Here are a few vignettes of Fancy's store....a little bit Western, vintage, retro, and funky!

You can also see a bit of Fancy on the History Channel's show PICKED OFF.

love the retro vintage pieces she has...

this is a view from the back of her shop looking forward...

Here is gorgeous redhead Fancy and her assistant-right hand gal as Fancy says. You see alot of her around the shop. So, if you are in the KC area-make sure you take a drive out to the country and see Fancy & Weston-I highly recommend it! 

I really loved this building and the vines all over it..

can never get tired of looking at old churches....you just don't see them like this in AZ very often...

And the houses in Weston!!! Seriously??!! LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

so cute!

This was in one of the shops in town, just thought I'd share! Off to Roundtop,TX-pics coming soon!

For My Trailer Lovin' Friends

While at the Country Living Fair in Ohio this past weekend I also got to tour through a couple cutie vintage trailers brought by the Sisters on the Fly gals. This one was for sale. I never get tired of admiring what every trailer looks like, they all have a unique personality put in by their owners. Adorable.

I really liked the hardware they used for the cabinet handles...

this was another one that was really cute..

my favorite part was the light fixture she made out of the Mason jar in the trailer. Cute!

I was too early and this one wasn't open yet, super cute still. Hope you liked the tour!

Country Living Fair Ohio

I've spent the past couple of days at the Country Living Fair here in Ohio. All I can say is WOW! This is the best venue for a show. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff at Stella Show Mgmt and Country Living are amazing. They think of everything. Amazing vendors were here, Bobby and I included. LOL We were here selling our tin tile jewelry and all of his awesome creations made of the tin. Huge thank you's go out to all of you who stopped by our booth. You were all amazing!

They had this huge pile of pumpkins for you to take photos of, I love all things Fall, and this is it!

This was our booth, packed the whole time, it was great!

I drove for 4 days to get here, I wanted to bring all the "girls" with me to make the best display possible for the jewelry. 

Bobby made these shelves with some of his tin, love love them all. They turned out awesome!

We were so lucky to have Cari Cucksey of HGTV's show "Cash & Cari" next to us. She and her family were so sweet to us. We hope to be next to them again in Atlanta! 

She has some fun treasures and creations...

They were so nice to pose for this photo with us, this was the kind of fun we had all weekend with them! Watch for her show to return to HGTV this Spring, I believe.

My other celebrity crush was Jennifer Paganelli of Sis Boom. I've adored her fabrics for the longest time, made lots of projects with them. She was so kind to talk ot me for awhile and stop by and see our creations. Thank you Jennifer!

some vignettes from around the Ohio Historical Center where the show was...

this was the view from our booth almost all day long, people and people! 

I have to share one of my favorite booths of the show..Stash

Shannon has such a great style and an eye for finding patina-ed treasures.

I loved this....

I have more photos for you but gotta get going, more treasures to find and jewels to make! See ya in Warrenton at Zapp Hall!

The Vintage Marketplace Fall Fabulousness

I'm still playing catch up, here it is wednesday, I'm in another state, but I'm getting you all caught up on The Vintage Marketplace Fabulousness! It was one of the best, each one just gets better and better, if it could get any better!? It's always fun to see how everyone is doing and what fun finds they have brought to the show. This gorgeous shabby pink chair went to a new home as well as a ton of the cowhide cuffs! Thank you to all who came by!

This is sweet Susan of Fiori Couture, she came by to say hi and brought me a gorgeous gift, one of her gorgeous floral pin creations. Love, love, I put it on right away. The subtle hints of red in the silk pin picked up the red in my new awesome vintage boots! Susan is a stylist-extrodinaire! Her layouts and photo shoots are just amazing to me, I love every single one. 

My other friend Sylvia of Paris Cowgirl had these super cute new tshirts made up, and she was so sweet to gift me one, and it had the perfect saying too. Fits me to a tee! Pun-intended!! LOL

Here's cutie Sylvia playing around with her sweet pink feather boa..

I love these sweet shabby pumpkins from my friend Jamie of Two Wild Roses

I was lusting after this leather purse made by my friends Victor and Priscilla Cerda of Vintage Bruja. ANd I adore those two as well, we laugh and laugh, nothing better!

You know it's not a vintage show without some creepy baby doll heads! 

love...

I really was drawn to the garden feel of this booth, loved it, I'm sorry I didn't get the name...but it was beautifully put together.

Thank you Rita and Christie for another amazing show, you two are the hardest working show promoters I know! See you all in December!
