Whew! It happened: my first vintage pop-up shop. Victor was kind enough to let me use his beautiful home as the setting for a gaggle of adorable ladies perusing vintage clothes and accessories. Francesca and Nicole both contributed some of their amazing collections to the sale, and the lovely ladies behind Hummingbird Girls Vintage brought a wonderful selection of shoes. I (predictably) went overboard with the snacks and champagne, filled the house with smoke at one point trying to heat up some hors d'oeuvres in the oven, tried to keep Beatrice (Victor's dog) from pouncing on every new arrival, and blasted silly holiday music all evening. It was amazing and I'm so excited to do it again.
Thank you to everyone who came (looking so darn festive!) and to those that helped me create this little vintage heaven for an evening. And for those of you that missed out, don't you worry... all the treasures I didn't sell last night will be going into my upcoming Etsy shop! So think of this as a little sneak peek.
So adorably festive!
This amazing tote bag will be going into the Etsy shop... unless someone wants to snag it now! Talk to me.
A sampling of Nicole's goodies... so many pretty dresses!

Nicole made the ladybug collar... I want one so bad.
This amazing pink hat is still up for grabs... well, unless I decide to keep it for myself!
Of course I was mostly selling dresses... I can't stop collecting them.
Francesca and her boyfriend Paul being all snuggly and sweet
Cutest shoes ever, brought to you by the Hummingbird Girls! (I wanted those silver ones to fit me sooo bad.)
Too much champagne, not enough candy! (I'm wearing a vintage velvet dress from the 60's.)
Babe alert!

Jen and I had a fabulous time at your pop-up shop party! And we were so glad you made it out to the Indie Bazaar today. Let me know what's happening this week. Monday night might not happen for me but I think Tuesday should be fun! XOXO
Lovely!
Ugg. I had the best time...And I'm so in love with my new vintage dress. Thanks again lady...I hope it's sooner then later when we meet up again.
beautiful events like this make me yearn for ruby slippers that would transport me across the world and back. you're lucky to have a bunch of friends who are supportive and so interested in vintage.
p.s. merry christmas ashley!
Great photos! Looks like it was a super fun evening! It's a shame those silver shoes didn't fit you... they are gorgeous xxx
