POP UP MARKET - UPDATE

The #popupmarket with some Vintage With Flair Vendors; Carpenter's Daughters, Magpie Maggie, Bear Crossing Mercantile, Bandsforbebe, Vintage Van Go, Avant Garb, Look No Further and John's treasures, was a great day.
The village had Little New York Day's taking place with various activities throughout the area and our vendors brought their own vibe to the day.   Part of our intent was to both support those  vendors who were not able to make it to our actual Vintage With Flair sale in Priddis in June due to the natural disaster that was taking place in surrounding areas, and also to raise funds for #albertaflood relief.  It was successful on both accounts, and we are happy to announce that $380.  has been raised and will be donated to 1 specific family in the High River area.   

We thank all our vendors that prepared diligently for both our sale and pop up market, their talent, displays and personality are the ingredients that make for an awesome experience for all !!!

May you each have a blessed summer, enjoying the simple things and beauty along the way..  As I write this a princess is in process of giving birth to a new little person of the monarchy..  blessings to this new life and family !!

Keep tabs on us here!! 

VINTAGE WITH FLAIR - 2013

Who would have ever imagined that 6 months ago when the dates June 21st and June 22nd, 2013  were reserved for Vintage With Flair, that they would be historic in the most traumatic of situations.   That the rivers would be filled to overflowing and spread throughout the basins and plains towns and cities of southern Alberta.   Unimaginable!!!    Well it happened and so much has been affected.   While we were in progress of setting up we had little idea till late Thursday that all would break loose.   Others had already joined in making Vintage With Flair a shoppers paradise.  We decided when it got risky to postpone our event to Saturday only to see if the waters would subside or increase to the point of putting too many at risk.   As the organiser I for reasons beyond my control was unable to pull out so.. we waited and watched to see if our situation would jeopardise either vendor or shopper.   By Saturday am.. the water was subsiding in  Fish Creek in the Priddis Hamlet and the sun was shining!  With 1/2 of our vendors, as many were very personally affected ,  we opened for 10 am to 4pm  and our faithful friends and neighbours joined us for a bit of a time away from all of the sad news  and events.

Many have thanked us for giving them a time of distraction and a bit of joy in the midst of all the devastation and loss.   That in itself made all of the efforts, adjustments and emotional stress worth while..  There is still much to do in the area of aiding in this most devastating time in so many areas including the city of Calgary.    Because of our faithful supporters   about 325..  we are donating a half of the entry which was $4. per. for a total of $650.. to the Red Cross for flood relief here in the area.    Thank you !!   

Keep posted for news for upcoming events !!!

Have an awesome summer,  and may you find joy in the simple things !!!

Two More Days - Vintage With Flair 2013

Two more days till likeminded creators, designers, entrepreneurs meetup for an amazing showcase of creativity in Priddis, Alberta, Canada.  June 21st 4 -8pm and June 22nd 9 -4pm.  Each vendor brings their style and display techniques in a boutique setting  to present to the world their love of vintage, reusing, upcycyling and individuality!!  Priddis Community Hall is the perfect setting, in the pretty hamlet of Priddis, Alberta, Canada,  and has easy access from Calgary and outlying areas.   Vendor locations are both inside the hall and outdoors under the large carnival tent which allows you our  guests  to browse and  shop comfortably.   A suggestion would be to  bring some mosquito protection.  There will also be a CASH MACHINE  for your convenience inside the hall.  We encourage you to bring a small shopping cart to save trips to your vehicle and to be aware of parking with care.

We thank you our friends and customers who make effort through the year to support many who run small businesses either through cottage industries or storefronts.   That is why we do what we LOVE!!!

Just a reminder that we love our furry family, but there is so much going on that we aren't able to accomodate them at the sale, and please we ask that they not be left in vehicles.. thank-you.

See you in 2 !!
