IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, YOU NEED TO CATCH THESE SHOWS!I finally had a day to just shop and have fun! That doesn't happen very often and when I get to spend it with my eldest, married daughter Cara, it's even more special. Our time alone together just being mom and daughter is very limited with careers, kids and just life!
We started the day at the first annual Aunt Bee's Old Fashioned Holiday Show in Salem at the historic and very cool Mission Mill. The show was put on by my friend Larena of Blackberry Junction fame and her friend Belinda of Danner & Soli fame which is located at the mill. Show dates were today and tomorrow Nov 21st 10-4pm.
What a fabulous selection of vendors in the most charming setting! I wish I had a better camera as my pictures just don't catch how beautiful this show was. If you can, make it over there tomorrow, I'm hoping this will be an annual event!

Stockings made from vintage blankets - so sweet!
I just had by buy this apron by the famous Carol Curtis - very cheery for Christmas!
Vintage ornament wreaths - beautiful! They came in blue, gold and pink. Janet (Whatevers) crafted these, she's a vendor at my August antique faire.
Our next stop was The Vintage Roost Christmas at the Roost show.
Debbie & Dee have put this show on for several years now and it I think it's Albany's best kept little secret!
It was packed with customers when we arrived for the Friday evening special sale that started at 3pm and went till 7pm. This darling little shop is jam packed with hand-crafted decorations, antiques, paperwhite bulbs in vintage white ironstone, pillows & jackets made by Debbie and lots of yummy baked goods to buy.
It's definitely worth the drive and Albany is a very charming old town that's fun to explore!
We were greeted at the door by Chelsea, Dee's lovely daughter, serving cranberry tea, so festive!
The shop had an amazing collection of red transferware & cranberry glass all scattered with pink Christmas- delicious!

Hi, Diane!
ReplyDeleteWas good to see you today ... and guess what? Those darn egg cartons went BACK up I-5! They have racked up so many frequent flier miles that I think they have earned a trip to Disneyland, lol!
Hugs and hope the FAB blue-y Christmas ball topiary works great on your mantle ...
Betty :)
Thanks Diane for mentioning the show at Mission Mill! It was great seeing you yesterday! Hope you have a great weekend:) Chandra
