The Road Trip Has Begun.

 

Here today.

 

Here tomorrow.

 
With lots of thrifting, antiquing and vintage shopping along the way. At least that’s the plan. I hope I find something!

Here’s my shopping list:

1. Vintage fabric (shocking)
2. Vintage Christmas (alert the media)
3. Things to sell in my etsy shop (vague)
4. Things to set aside in case I ever decide to sell at a show (vague and dangerous)

Here’s what I hope I don’t bring home:

1. Any items with the potential to be labeled ‘What-was-I-thinking?’ (currently have more than enough of those)

Seems simple enough. 

Happy trails from your roving reporter.  Next update: The Sacramento Antique Faire.

    Have fun Amy and drive safe! Did you take a trailer? A semi? You could always hire out a shipping container and have it barged up the river!
    Oh, the antique show we ended up attending was a total bust. Awful. Now that I'm home, I can't remember what my issue with that extra six hours of driving ever was.
    Oh well, there's always next time!

    I've always said that I would go to the Sacramento Antique Fair. Why I haven't yet, I don't know. I...uh..only live about 15-20 minutes away, and I have friends that are vendors! Maybe I'll pry myself out of bed this weekend and venture down there... maybe. :) Have fun, and drive safe!

    Hugs,
    Jill

    Soooo fun.....wish I was on my way treasuring hunting, instead of being here with very frigid temps and 2ft of snow out my door!

    Have fun and safe travels!
