Day of La Mesa Street Fair

Finally! Our big event, taking the online world into the streets! After a rigorous week of doing errands and a long Saturday night, a rough morning of loading and setting up (thanks Scott!!!) we finally made it to the 6th annual La Mesa Antique Street Fair. The street fair went pretty well, aside from the moody weather. We met some great people – high-spirited, curious and very complimentary of what we had to offer. It was quite a long day and the two of us had very few hours (or minutes in my case) to function on, but it was well worth it. Got our name out there and shared the love of vintage! A few of our memorable customers were: Amy McNamara (owner if TrĂ©s Fabu, a reborn furniture shop in La Mesa with SUPER CUTE pieces) who purchased our lovely Selleck leather jacket (it looked fabulous on her and we appreciate that it brought some viewers our way!); Allison (Summer's coworker at Gio's in La Mesa) who purchased a cute heart necklace; this cute little girl who purchased a lovely pair of black gloves (even at a young age she knows that vintage rocks and we hope she can spread that appreciation with her cute style); and finally these 3 lovely women who were soooo enthusiastic about everything we had ( they were so fun and lively and we loved having them visit our booth!). Anyway, we had a lot of fun, and we especially want to thank everyone who came by and showed support. And again many thanks to our wonderful boyfriends, Scott and Jon for helping with the set up and take down and sushi dinner afterwards! :) It was a great way to advertise and the stuff that hasn't been snatched up will be featured in our spring line very soon. Here are a few pictures of our booth!
