Last night I participated in the one-year anniversary celebration at the Vintage Thymes Monthly Market -what a blast from the past!

There was delicious food and drink, great live music and sooo many shoppers (the line to get in started forming at 4:30!) I have been involved in this vintage market for a few months now, and have been continuously impressed by the owners, Robin and Nancy,

as well as the many talented vendors,

who pull out all the stops to create breath-taking vignettes within the confines of their booth spaces. (this is my space : )

This month, in particular, was more fabulous than ever, IMHO!

The range of vintage items available, from rustic tin pigs

to gorgeous florals

to ingeniously funky remade home wares-whoooo would think that two old saws could be so adorable?!

was overwhelming, and I noticed that many shoppers stayed for hours trying to take it all in and find some perfect pieces for their homes and shops.

I had a chance to take a few pics before the mayhem began

to give you an idea of the breadth of talent that is showcased in this monthly event.

(Disclaimer: some of the items in these pics were sold last night, but I assure you there is so much more to see and purchase over this long weekend!)

So, if you have a chance to get down (or up) to the south shore this weekend, make sure you head on over to the WinSmith Mill Market to take it all in.

And, on Sunday, a special treat-there will be an outdoor anniversary fair as well, with music and food trucks and more vintage goodies with over 30 dealers! Have a happy harvest weekend, everyone! Susan
