I am an avid Hog fan and just have to know, lol. (Heck, I may even WANT one, lol!) And I have seen similar "trends". I go to the Springfield, Ohio, Antique Extravaganza twice a year and the Vintage Marketplace is full of ruffled petticoat/tutu skirts, flannel shirts, cowboy boots, fringed vests, leggings on lumpy thighs, and crap most middle age women would never even wear on Halloween - but it is like the "uniform" there and they all buy over priced chalk painted junk furniture with stencils all over it and naked wire lampshades with a couple scraps of lace or burlap tied on it. I buy REAL antiques and let them have the expensive foo-foo trends. :-) Better luck next show!

When I saw all the vendors and a huge majority were MLM vendors, I felt it would not go well.

So thanks for blogging today! The rhinestone jeans ladies are obvs not reading the big city fashion mags - we are done with that here, and the rage is $200 scuba-looking yoga pants that show every lump and bump. I'm going to give you my million dollar idea for next year's hot item - $200 yoga pants with rhinestones on the butt. Hope you have an awesome November and December at the booth!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741171170864789735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-33304295290573668142015-11-09T16:45:49.666-06:002015-11-09T16:45:49.666-06:00Sorry about your lousy show returns.

I did a show once (many moons ago) and didn't do very well with all my lovingly-created items while at the booth next to me - crappy Christmas baskets with lights flew off the table. Go figure. It just happens I guess. Better luck on your next show!!!RetroSandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148972559036739050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-2127124972900153562015-11-09T11:28:29.955-06:002015-11-09T11:28:29.955-06:00Sorry it didn't yield better results.

My suggestion for the milk caps...when I have something that is hard to price, I put them in a tin with enough tags for all of them. On an index card, I tell people to take a tag up to the counter with the item. I hope that works for you. Lara and you have fabulous items, keep junking on!!

I've been there and it SUCKS. You definitely don't want to be in a show where people don't "get you," because they don't deserve your awesome stuff. I'm literally laughed out loud at your comments about rhinestone butt jeans. Who wears that stuff? I do like over-sized flannels, but I have liked them for years. I get my husbands hand me downs. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465862144480036138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-4201968672279479902015-11-09T06:28:48.349-06:002015-11-09T06:28:48.349-06:00to bad you didn't do better.

Just know that if I were there, I would ONLY be visiting your booth and Lara's booth. And I would totally be wearing my rhinestone jeans and big flannel shirt (Not kidding. Everyday wardrobe. But just know that I am TOTALLY one of the COOL people who sports this look who DESPISES the mason jar Y'All sign and burlap wreaths.)<br /><br />Have an awesome week~<br /><br />EricaThrifterSistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534524822325441476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-32331498960247987572015-11-09T06:22:52.408-06:002015-11-09T06:22:52.408-06:00No idea what Plexis or a 31 bag is either.

Although, I think the spider web gave you a good idea it's the wrong venue for you. I guess I'm one of your groupies as I have no idea what Plexis or a thirty-one bag is. I'm never happy when I go to a sale and find people selling new things. Call me a junk snob! Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002955782128223182noreply@blogger.com
