Every vintage geek's dream trip...
I just discovered a great blog - Adventures in Vintage Hunting from the oh-so-lucky Rachel, who just thrifted her way across the country, and stopped to interview some Etsy vintage sellers on the way to boot! My favorite find out of all the ones she highlighted?:

Vintage Life Magazine - Coming In 2010!
Holy crap - how am I just seeing this? A new magazine all about vintage - Vintage Life to be exact - a real, hold in your hands magazine too - hooray! It is from the UK, so that makes it a bit pricier to subscribe... but if it is good it will be totally worth it...They have a Ning network too it looks like - you know I'm joining!

What to do, what to do...
I'm having trouble deciding what to do next weekend. There are two events happening simultaneously - the Country Living Fair and the Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market Extravaganza.
The Country Living Fair is about 5 minutes from my house, but is a hefty $12 to get in, and who knows how much parking will be. One huge perk of going is that my lovely co-blogger on The Vintage List blog, Lisa B., is going to be there - we could do lunch! How fun would that be?
I highly doubt there would be anything there for me to buy for my shops, it would be more of a hang around and drool over stuff kind of event, while taking photos for the blog of course...
The Springfield show, on the other hand, will have a ton of stuff I could buy for my shops (2200 vendors, hello!), and it is only $5 to get in. It is 45 minutes away though, which is a bit of a drag...
I suppose I could do both. But that would mean little or no garage sale shopping, and it is getting to be the end of the season here, so I am feeling the pressure to stockpile for stuff to list over the winter. Garage sales = cheap inventory, which is hard to pass up. The flea market will have some bargains, but more likely I will be spending a bit more than I would at the sales...
Grr. I need two of me. Or maybe three.

Evil, evil Facebook.
I know I am not blogging as often as I used to - and there is a reason, other than the usual "I have no time" excuse...I'm on Facebook. Here, here, and here. I am on Facebook more often than I am on Twitter these days - and it used to be the other way around! I don't know, it is evil and has its claws in me I guess...
Anyway, if you are on Facebook send me a friend request, and fan both of my Pages - I post on all three! :)
