More Renninger's........new friends

This was the view from our booth lawn chairs for three days! The cool vintage model T car was a guy magnet--I wondered why Sharon never left the booth! (JK Girlfriend!)


**There were so many people that stopped by our booth that I don't have pictures of-- but SO much enjoyed meeting, like:

Susie from the blog From My Home To Yours ;

Carol Gammal from Tampa who is in Summerhouse;

The girls from the shop Relic on Manhatten in Tampa;

The totally sweet girl, Babs, from Michigan (Babsjustababblin)-- and some very nice people that bought my junk!
(I'm so sorry I didn't write down all the names 'cuz my memory is awful--it gets overwhelming when I travel so far to set up, sell, shop for merch, photograph, interview, and network all at the same time--with sleep deprivation too!)

I got to see Nicole and Ryan of Prism again, who are there every month;

AND I heard that bloggers Sweet Pea and Becky of One Shabby Old House were there but I missed them!



On to some of the awesome new dealer friends I got to meet that I DID manage to get pictures of!!

My favorite booth at the show belonged to Debbie Wilson-- pictured on the left with her sweet friend Lorie. I had the best time shopping in her booth, and talking to these totally nice girls! I bought two wonderful french doors, a huge chippy lantern, carved oval frame and a vine covered lampshade from them. I can't wait 'til Debbie gets her new blog started-she is mega-talented!

I loved meeting Mariann of Bella Flamingo Designs, and her friend Debbie--they were so much fun, and I really enjoyed talking to them!! Mariann does cool jewelry design, and Debbie has very unique vintage treasures!

Pictured above is fellow blogger Debi (check out Vintage Soul on Typepad) and her friend Robin who stopped by.
Here are the French Nest girls Martha and Shelley (Marsha wasn't there) who do a fabulous booth in the building near ours. They have a shop in Orlando at 2300 Edgewater Drive, and you can find them on Facebook. (I bought the "Quartermaster" iron bed in the below pic)

We really enjoyed meeeting Jim Perkins of Duluth Fish Decoys. His father David started carving these fabulous ice-fishing lures out of various types of wood many years ago, and they can be found in high-end shops along the East Coast from Maine to Key West. Jim travels 6 weeks a year to the shops and shows selling, and has lots of different types that are all works of art!
I originally planned to go on to Webster antique market on Monday after the show (heard it was fabulous), but since I didn't have an inch of space left in the car I went to the beach instead! (I didn't have time to get home to Sarasota--but I'll probably get to go back in April)
