Zapp Hall Blog Party
We started off Day Three of our Texas Junkin’ Trip with the Blog Party. Here’s my sweet friend Carol and her awesome niece Shelly Sparks. Things wouldn’t have been the same without these two gals!
And these blonde beauties I lovingly named the Texas Trio. From the left we have Cindy Richmond, Roxanne Spradlin and Jana Thacker. They came from Abilene to shop the antique shows and it was so much fun meeting them and running into each other while shopping. We got to watch Roxanne test drive the super cool vintage turquoise bike she bought. Their friend Dalia couldn’t make it but gets a shout out "Hey Dalia, you’ve got some great friends"!
This is Theresa Cano, the most wonderful gal in the state of Texas. She is incredibly gracious and made us feel like part of the family from the minute we met her. She had a fabulous booth and I’ll share some photos of it in my next post.
This is Debe Leone who came in from Houston to come to the party and do some antiquing. She gave us some tips on a few "can’t miss" booths. Another truly delightful Texan I’m so glad I got to meet. Debe doesn’t have a blog but perhaps we inspired her to start one? Keep us posted Debe!
Here is the most talented jewelry designer Kim Chiasson and her adorable daughter. Her shadow box necklaces are miniature works of art. Each piece is unlike anything I’ve seen before, truly unique. My friend Shelly bought one of her necklaces and we were so delighted to meet her at the blog party!
Warrenton veterans Cheryl Schulke and Chris Brown were working on their collaborative zine project featuring highlights of the whole junkin’ experience. I’m sure it will be chocked full of cool photos and incredible insight from these two road warriors. Keep an eye on Chris’ blog for the upcoming publish date.
We were also joined by two incredible vendors who each have had their share of national attention. Linda Marcov on the left in white and Theresa Smith sitting next to her. You may remember Theresa’s beautiful home featured in Country Living magazine, it’s just stunning!
And I don’t want to leave out the darling Amy Botkin pictured in the red floral top. She’s close friends with the Texas Trio and another friendly Texan who stopped by the party before shopping. Thank you all for coming to the Blog Party. It was so much fun getting to know each of you in person. The world of blogging opens up so many doors of opportunity for people all over the world to connect and share in their common interests. And I’m so thankful to have had the chance to visit with each of you!
My next post will be lots of photos from the shows. I can’t believe how many I took but I promise they will not disappoint. The booths were fantastic, creative and filled to the brim with vintage goods!
