Belated post: 8th & Argyle grand opening

A few weeks ago, we celebrated the grand opening of 8th & Argyle. Most of the vendors were there and it was so great to meet everyone!

I fell in love...I spied this beautiful paint-by-number in Sabrosa Vintage's space and fell head over heels. I bought it that night and could barely set her down - she's SO pretty and reminds me of Mary Poppins!


I manage to grab a couple photos of my customers! I was so surprised to run into my new friend, Nancy. Just two nights earlier, we met at a dinner we attended for this really great women's group I joined that meets once a month to discuss creativity and leadership. She was driving by and saw all the activity happening at 8th & Argyle and decided to check it out. She loves stationery and ended up buying some from my booth.


The below customer said this pillow reminded her of her grandparents. Amen, sister!! She was so happy to purchase it!


It was a fun night and I was happy that some of my items found new homes! The shop is worth stopping by if you're in town - there are SO many great items and vendors!

Some Cute Things at 8th & Argyle

**Once again, thank you to my blog friends that faithfully leave me comments. I am the worst blog friend ever and I'm so bad at commenting and replying to comments. Thank you for not giving up on me or getting fed up with me. I really appreciate it! I'm trying to get better about replying and commenting! I have no excuse other than my days are packed and I squeeze writing a quick blog post in whenever I can and then I forget to go back to them. I promise I'm not a blog snob or anything like that!

I mentioned yesterday that everyone else at 8th & Argyle is like leagues above me in terms of merchandise and staging. Here are examples!! Everyone has such great stuff!





Super cute children's aprons made from vintage fabric!


Amazingly cute aprons made from men's shirts and fabric!!

Owl Really at 8th & Argyle

Wellllll, over the weekend I set up at 8th & Argyle! I feel like a total rookie there. Everyone's space is so well-put-together and I feel like mine is a crazy, kitschy mess. It's way more playful than most of the other spaces - even though people have REALLY cute stuff!


Stuff! Lots of stuff. I have this set of shelves and then I can use the space underneath them, as long as I stay in line with the door frame.


A blurry, closer photo. Some sewing notions, some afghans, mugs and saucers, phone, etc!


I decided to put my stationary in this space rather than mess with etsy right now. I ordered cellophane sleeves from littlepaperthings on etsy to package up my vintage maps, notecards, and more.


I picked up some things at the coolest yard sales ever on Saturday - 4 friends who live in our neighborhood coordinated having yard sales on the same day. They all have GREAT style and taste and it was fun to swing by before ceramics. I bought the kitchen cart you see above and spray painted it gold. I also picked up the painting, the phone, the wire basket the stationery is in, and a blue ashtray that is holding my business cards.

So, there it is! It needs work - I need some things to add more height variation on the shelves. We'll see how it goes...fingers crossed!

If you're in town, you can shop 8th & Argyle Thursdays through Sundays next to Pia's Antiques!
