I usually attend to shop, but this year I shared a tent with Lisa of Wind Horse Antiques & participated as a vendor. I managed to grab a couple of pics ... but confess that they are pretty low quality.<br />

I'll be at the Deepwood Vintage Flea Market in September. The look will be completely different -- with nary a bit of red in the Solarium. <br />

Friday night, September 13, (yes, it's Friday the 13th) will be GREAT FUN with live music, nibbles, beverages, and EARLY BUYING. <br />
<br />
You should pre-buy your $15 ticket for this Flea Market Soiree, as they are limited in number and going fast!<br />

<br />
Thanks to all who stopped by to visit and those who adopted goodies and shared a smile.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend, and hope to see you at Deepwood!<br />
