Here's some pictures of my booth...it was cuter than the pics show...blame the photographer, I guess.
I drove with my load, I checked in to Mel's Value Inn on Interstate, and rode the train a few times (That Train Idea thru town is Wonderful!!)
Ate some great food at the Overlook, and at Charlies Corner Bar...shopped the Fred Meyer...watched a Harry Potter movie........
I met a lot of sweet Portland people...but I always think I'm gonna run into Gus VanSant or a Decemberist or...that sexy mayor...or.....Winona!
I saw steampunks (maybe they were Decemberists....) I saw country folks, and city folks, the gays, the grannies, and the young cuties. Missing of course, was any hippie kynd people....they were all at Country Fair.......
A pic of my motel room and the cute light fixture...
Wow! it was fun and it was all good! until......the rain at 4 pm on Sunday. So I got a little wet, but thanks to friends, Kathy and Margaret, who helped immensely with packing...I got outta there quite fast and got back to Tacoma at about 9 pm...
I finally got to meet Lulu, of LulusVintage.com......Miss Anne and her darling husband, Chris.
So positive so sweet...I met a few other shopkeepers and vintage dealers in the Portland area too. I am quite happy I went....
But the most bizarre thing...I was watching Cable TV since I don't watch TV here...and I saw Iman, Mrs. David Bowie...hawking cheapo Chinese/slave made crap on Home Shopping Network......
Is she stupid? Is she broke? Has she never heard of cheap labor/slave labor? Wtf?
