We're back ..from ...The Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks

 

Yes We are Back from the Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks this last weekend .."Friday & Saturday"..

 

In the last 3 years of setting up at the Market we have faced the Extreme Heat .. the Wind and a bit of cold but we never had to face a rainy day or more than that several rainy days. The Market has always been Rain or Shine ..but We have always been so blessed and it's always weighed out on the side of "Shine" So we weren't sure what to expect for a turnout on Friday Morning.

 

We all set up and prepped for the rain and hoped and hoped we would have a good turnout despite the rain ..and we weren't dissapointed !!!

 

Friday Morning opened with a wonderful suprise we had an amazing turnout .. it drizzled ..it sprinkled.. it even poured down rain a few times and steadily rained throughout friday and it was a bit damp to say the least ..but I must admit it really put you in the mood for Christmas in comparison to many of our years being 80 degrees and sunny and trying to decide on buying a snowman or not ..LOL !!!

 

To all who came out and braved the wet and kicked your heels up in the puddles and dawned your hoodies and carried your Brellas .. "Thank You" .. We really put alot of work and heart for many weeks before each market preparing a wonderful experience for all of our sweet shoppers and we are thrilled you came out and supported us once again !

 

So for those of you far away who couldn't make it or for those of you who just couldn't make it ..here's a little peek at what you all missed ...

 

 

 

We set up our Christmas Shop once again this year .. And we had a few more colorful things that would have been displayed out front but the rain would have ruined them ..so our 5ft Wood trees had to do the job all on their own ..

 

 Thank Goodness we had my Sis's Tent ..and we set up a second tent to sit under and allow for our cashier area to remain dry... The Tents overlapped just enough that you could walk through from one to the other .. keeping everyone dry ...

 

 The table was decked out with Wonderful Vintage Goods along with our Handmade Christmas Goods ..and trimmed with a wonderful Jingle Bell Ribbon...

 Abbey and I love Old Christmas Bells ..and this set that hung above the table is from our personal collection ..they weren't for sale just purely for decoration ..we found them a year ago at a wonderful Barn Sale ..they date to the 1950's - 60's and are paper Mache with their orginal glitter .. Abbey Topped them with some of our wonderful poinsettias and they looked just stunning hung over the center table ...

 Our Glass Glittered Roses were once again a hit ..and an abundance of them headed off to a Winter Wedding ....

 Our Vintage Lace Ornaments ..Made their way home to lots of Christmas Trees.. Wreaths ..and Mantles ..bringing Much Christmas Cheer ...

 

 The Crates were filled with Christmas Towels and Aprons ..and By Saturday afternoon ..they were all gone ...



 

Once Again and despite the wet weather .. the Marketplace was an absolute success for not only us but all the other shops as well...

 

It was such a joy to see all of the familiar faces we know from each market and to meet new faces too !

 

Thank you to all the Ladies that came by Bus to shop .. and those that made lengthy trips from out of state !

 

And Thank you again to Christie, Rita, Dean, And the boys for all you do to keep the market going and running smoothly ... !!!

 

For those of you who could not make the market .. I have listed lots of new Christmas Goods in our Shop today HERE   and will be adding more tomorrow as well..

 

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas from the Sweet Magnolias ...Sara and Abbey !

Abbey and I have been working feverishly getting all sorts of goodies ready for you ..and my plans were to have some sneek peek pictures for you all this weekend for this post.

 

However my plans were a tad detoured without my consent .. This last friday I slipped and within hours I was sporting a strained/tore Hamstring. Not something to ignore even if it would let you ignore it...so I've been chairbound for 3 days and Poor Abbey has been waiting on me. Needless to say I'm Ricing as they call it .. Resting, Icing, Compressing, and Elevating .. in hopes that by next wednesday I'll be able to load the trailer on my own. We shall see. Today I can walk better and have more range of motion in my leg and the pain is lessening so I think I'm headed in the right direction !

 

All that said ..we have some wonderful Christimas Offerings for you all. One of a Kind Rustic and Romantic Decorations. Our New Farmhouse Jumbo Candy Canes .. Handmade paper mache Candy canes layered in vintage laces, aged ribbon and tied with scrumptious lace tendril bows that have sentiments of Christmas ..Perfect for tree or apothecary ..

Pumpkin Pickin' & Hayrides ..by our Very Own Aunt Ruthie of Sugar Pie Farmhouse

 

Many years ago yes dating to the late 90's early 2000's ... I had the pleasure of meeting Sweet "Aunt Ruthie" or "Ruthann" of "SUGARPIE FARMHOUSE"

 

We met at the local antique mall where Abbey and I had 3 shops. She and Summer ( her daughter) used to come in and walk the aisles looking for just that special something. If you have visited Sugarpie Farmhouse then you'll know by the photos of her home that she truly does pick out some wonderful and amazing pieces to decorate her home.. and if you haven't visited Sugarpie Farmhouse then I urge you to take some time and visit ...you won't be dissapointed.

 

Our dear sweet Aunt Ruthie has an amazing talent for words, wisdom, and homemaking which you'll find throughout her website and in the several books she has written.

 

Aunt Ruthie is full of good old fashioned wisdom that spans the ages .. she shares her love for the Lord, for her family and for the blessed life she has.

 

I have had the priveledge and honor to receive an early copy of her newest book which is debuting today for the first time on her website...

 

When I received my early edition copy ..I was absolutely thrilled ..and just a peak at the first photos made my heart skip a few beats with complete excitement.

 

So here's to:

your home! I have several throughout my house. You can use them as

a backdrop to showcase your fall décor. Place a row of pumpkins in

front or arch twigs and tiny, white lights along the top. Write a

scripture, a seasonal quote, your supper menu or a love note to your

family!"

And Yes ... the Recipe is included along with many other "Country Fall Fixins" that will make your tummy rumble in a good way ...!!!
