Destination Vintage Marketplace - Springfield, Ohio!

Talk about a road trip!  Ventured to  Nashville, Tennessee already this year with Sue Whitney and  JUNKMARKET Style. Next destination, Ohio!  Yippee skippy!  I get to see all my junking peeps once again!  I'll have pictures soon of the Nashvillle trip, but here's the info for the Ohio show.  And if you've ever been to Springfield, I hear they really know how to do it right!

Here's all the details.....

Sue Whitney of JUNKMARKET Style will be on board to help launch the Vintage Marketplace to the Springfield Extravaganza in Ohio. This was a wildly popular addition to the Music City - Tailgate show in Hendersonville, TN this past February. So popular in fact, that the show can now be found this May at the Springfield Extravaganza. There will be returning vendors from Hendersonville, dealers from JUNKMARKET Under Glass, long time participants from the Extravaganza, and some brand spanking new vintage experts. Sounds like a not to be missed combo to me!!! JMS will be present a design booth (which means she better get my rear in gear) featuring fresh ideas for your home and garden all done up JUNKMARKET Style!! We are busy working on all of the details and events so stay tuned for for the nitty-gritty! Rumor has it there may be Friday night festivities, treasure hunts, shop alongs, possibly some good old fashioned Bingo for Show Bucks, and more! Woo hoo! i seriously can't wait. This promises to be way too much fun.

For those of you who have never been to the Vintage Marketplace or the Springfield Extravaganza- here a little bit of the back story. The Vintage Marketplace is a new edition to the Jenkin's shows. Think all things vintage, stylish, modern, junky and chic. This group of dealers will be housed in a series of large tents in the center hub of the May Extravaganza- May 18-20.

The Extravaganza itself is a 40 year old institution featuring 2,000 vendors and over 20,000 customers. The show boasts antiques, collectibles, garden, vintage, & flea market finds. Simply put, if you can't find it here, it can't be found.

The addition of the Vintage Marketplace to the Extravaganza means one thing. Take out your 2012 calendar and write the words "can't miss" on the dates May 18-20,2012.

Hey, Remember Me?

Wow, a lot has happened in the last few months.  You already know I worked a Christmas job (at Target).  And lucky me, they liked me so much they kept me!?  Oh joy?!!  Then I went road tripping to Nashville (for the Vintage Marketplace) with my gal pals Julie Broshat of JULZ, Annie de Jongh of Grace and Corazon and Sue Whitney of JUNKMARKET.  That's a story in and of itself (always is with Sue)...and it was an absolute blast!!  Then...I quit my job at Target (happy, happy, joy, joy, happy, happy, joy!).  Can you say relief?  Let's just say it wasn't my dream job.  But in Target's defense, it's an Amazing (with a capital A) company with amazing people.  That's why I stayed on after the holidays.  I just didn't want to say good bye to all my new friends!

Ok, now where was I??  I get so easily sidetracked!  That darn A.D.D.!  Oh yes, just some little thing I was doing next.  Nothing big.  I was just co-promoter with Sue Whitney for  JUNKMARKET Under Glass "March Madness".  Did I forgot to mention that???  It was really, really exciting (and a lot of work).  Needless to say I have been a busy girl!  And now I'm on to my next adventure.  And with Target behind me, back to blogging.  Yeah!!!!

So where do I go from here?  We'll it's off to Ohio in May, for The Vintage Marketplace that's part of the "huge" Springfield show.  I am so excited for that!!!  I'll be back on the road with my gal pals.  Yippee!  And I'll also get to go hang out with Lisa from Urban Farmhouse (love her!), and meet more fun an exciting people.  Wow, life is good!

I've got tons of pictures from the past events and will be posting them bit by bit.  Guess I wasn't too busy to take pictures :-)  I've really have missed my blogging friends.  Can't wait to get back into the swing of things!
