The Vintage Flea of OTT! July Edition~

Yesterday was an amazing day at the Vintage Flea of OTT!  

We had a little warm weather, but that didn't slow the shopping and deal making down one bit!

Here are some of the items I found striking~

And as always, I look forward to visiting with friends~

(I know, it looks like I am out of it, but I am a known "blinker"!)

As always the Adobo truck was with us turning out tasty food!

Our next event is Sunday, August 23rd.  Mark your calendar and plan to join us!

If you would like more info, or to reserve a spot, call 714-573-1025.

Glittefest!

 

Hello!

Long time no write, I know, but with all of the social media out there I do not know where this blog fits in.  Please leave a comment if you were here, so we know who is out there!

 

These are the Glitterfest Fall winners for the most "BOOTIFUL BOOTH!".  We give out awards at every Glitterfest.  So many of the artists go above and beyond on their booths , we just had to recognize them for all of their efforts!

 

 

 Priscilla Magdaleno and Becky Wimbs-These lovely ladies are so talented and sooooo nice!  They always pack their space with sparkling magic!  We love them both and are so happy they continue to join us for Glitterfest!

 The folks from Meyer Imports!  They continually provide Glitterfest shoppers with the best glitter in the universe!  It looks so yummy you want to dive in and play in it!

Deb Ward Kennedy of HOMEWARD found had the most amazing waterfall of sweater pumpkins and décor!  I believe it was her parents there helping as well!  Deb dressed the part too, which is always fun and appreciated!  This was her first Glitterfest.  We hope she will join us again!

 

For everyone that joined us for Glitterfest, Thank you!  It was a wonderful day full of art, fun and sparkling laughter!  For those that missed out, please plan to join us on March 15, 2014 for our next Artful Occasion!

Time for an update!

Whimzy! is taking break!  August 1st to August 22nd we will be closed to re-do, re-design, &

Whimzy's First Junque Trunk

May signaled the first Annual Junque Trunk!  What is a Junque Trunk you ask?  Well, we invited a bunch of our artist friends to clean out there precious supplies and bring the excess to Whimzy to sell.  We had a fantastic turnout-Artists as well and shoppers!  There was some primo booty for sure!  And the prices were fantastic!

We had so much fun, we are planning to do it again!  Stay tuned for your chance to be part of Whimzy's "Junque Trunk 2"!  www.VintageWhimzy.com

Thanks for all the sparkles!

You know how there are special days in your life that stand out above the rest? Wedding days, the birth of a child, graduations-all very meaningful and important days. I have a new one! Glitterfest! I can't say enough about how absolutely amazing this day was for me. Not only did we manage to put together a show, publicize it, and make it happen, IT WAS W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!
I have met some of the most inspirational women in the world! Every one of them is creative, intelligent, gracious, and passionate about the art they create! In turn, it gives me the energy and drive to do more! To let the muse guide me to the next best thing! I truly, truly cannot say enough about how amazing this group of women are! If you missed out on Glitterfest, mark your calendars now for October 10th-Glitterfest Fall. Come and meet these extraordinary ladies and be inspired by their willingness to share themselves and their craft!

Whimzy had a PARTY!

I can't believe that Dianne and I have been tending the shop for 4 years already! It has just whizzed by for me! On Saturday we hosted a little party to celebrate another wonderful year with our friends. So many great people stopped by and visited throughout the day. We had a tasty buffet of all our favorites including rosemary cashews (always a hit!), cupcakes (can't go wrong there!), and some of the most decadent cheeses I have ever had! Dianne is so great at putting things together!

Kim Kostka of Saltwater Studio stopped in and let me say, I really like that girl. She is super talented and so willing to share!
I am looking forward to some big plans with her
and Whimzy!

We also had our first Artist's trunk show! Jennifer Dimas was here with a magical assortment of her bejeweled treasures. Jennifer has been creating for Whimzy since 2005. Her vintage jewelery bracelets and necklaces are not only scrumptous to wear but, the have history! She also makes
jeweled bottles. Each piece features a menagerie of findings that just work wonders together!

All in all, it was a very successful day! Great friends, tasty food, and most of all a celebration of heart, soul, and connections that Whimzy has given us back. It is the people we meet, the friends we make, and the stories we share that makes all the hard work worth it!
