This past weekend I SOLD my "ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!" ViNtage Finds at the DuPage Expo Antique Show in St. Charles, Illinois... Even with mountains of snow ~ and I mean MOUNTAINS of Snow in the parking lot, Saturday's Show had a good crowd waiting - as the doors opened at 11 a.m. Unfortunately, Sunday's attendance and sales were quite the opposite...
ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Booth with a "hint of Spring" ~ just minutes before the doors opened...
I arrived for set-up on Friday afternoon... I always love being able to set up the day before... Doing ALL this by myself is quite physical... With all the hard work behind me, come selling day, I can then enjoy my displays, selling, and talking to my customers...
The ViNtaGe Tattered & Worn Ballet Pointe Shoes SOLD OUT in the First Five Minutes of the Show!*!*!
I just loved how my center display turned out... The perfectly chippy TRUNK & BIRDCAGE went to Texas!!!
This ViNtaGe 1940's Calendar had such FaB Bird Graphics!!! It looked sooooo Anthro... That too, went to a good home...
This chippy vintage desk was 2-die-4!!! That too, flew out of the booth right away... I loved it's original drawer hardware with barbola flower garland surround...
Say Hellooooo to these "SHaBBy-SHoPPinG Bloggers"!*!*!
Do check out their blogs!!!

After Saturday's Show, a group of us went to a Thai Restaurant to Celebrate JUDY'S Birthday (Tapestries of Nature Blog)!!! Saturday was Judy's actual BiRthday!*!*!
It was such a pleasant get together!!! During shows it's so hard to talk with other dealers ~ so this gathering made for "fun chit-chat"!!!
Starting at the left: Janice, Denise, Judy, Diane, Judy, Anita, Patty, & Mark...
More on "other dealers booths" in the next few days...
Thanks to ALL of you who came out to support US...
