Vintage Market Days

I have so much to share with you today. Yesterday, Doug and I went to the Vintage Market Days being held here in the St. Louis area. If you missed it, you can still visit today or tomorrow. It is in the Chesterfield Mall parking lot and tickets can be purchased at the gate.

We had a beautiful, sunny day. The crowds were larger when the market first opened, but it was never too crowded to look at the booths.  We took a lunch break and came back in the afternoon when there were fewer people and the day had cooled down a bit.

My first purchase…Just like the bride who doesn’t want to buy the first dress she tries on, I like to look at everything, decide what I want, and buy the best. Ha! At the first booth I spot this little,ornate, gold frame that tells me it is perfect for my dining area wall. Okay, come home with me.

I wish I could tell you how luscious that Georgia Peach soap smells.

I grabbed one of the peach and also a French Linen.

This next vendor had the most charming “booth”.  Happy Camper Clothing had this charming little camper.

It serves as both a sales booth and dressing room.

Here is a shot inside the camper.  They will be opening a store on Main Street in St. Charles, MO at the end of this month. You can find out more at happycamperclothing.net. They have a fun selection of shirts.

Doug and I stopped to admire this hall coat rack thingy (yes, it probably has a proper name, but I don’t know what it is) and met the owner of Liberty’s Closet. Jeremiah told me that most of their work is custom and this was their first show. They have a Facebook page and an Etsy shop. Check them out.

Bella Vintage Home’s displays are so appealing. I love their vintage glam vibe. I went home with one of these cloche and wood slice bases. Can you imagine all the possibilities you could put under that cloche? My brain is buzzing with all the decor ideas.

The Chicken Coop booth has great farm house style. I bought an item from them that I am looking forward to showing you soon.

Finally, I was looking for some greenery that I could add to my home. Stc Finds has a great variety and the owner is very helpful in explaining what each plant needs. You can find them at Facebook/stcfinds.

In my next post I’ll share some of the items I bought from these vendors and others. If you attended Vintage Market Days or this looks like your style, let me know in the comments.
