Chateau de Fleur
Studio and Vintage Market Place!
Day 1

(special chalk drawing by Christie)

It's 7 pm and I am back home from the first day of our Chateau de Fleurs. I am so so tired.......but can't stop looking at my 200 photos of all the wonderful vendors and editing and cropping and...CAN'T STOP! This morning the day started real early at Christie's and it was a little bit cold. Oh wait....here comes the sun! What a beautiful day, we had the misters on to welcome the customers at the gate. We are looking forward for another amazing day tomorrow. I am starting this post with my booth for tonight and I have so many more photos of all the vendors to show you. In the mean time if you can check out the Fan Page on FB for more photos that I will up load soon.


This is my file box # 2. I sold the first one to Lisa Loria and then purchase another one from Mrs. Claus/Lori and re did it for this show. It has 15 drawers, solid wood, in perfect conditions.

The Bubble charms were a HIT today! and I had so many students signing for my soldering classes! 5 Time is a charm class October 16th is almost full. I will plan another class for January. Check back on mercatino for the dates






So many friends stopped by today. Thank you for making the time.....
Ciao for now
Rita

  3. Your booth looks fabulous, as always, Rita. Wish I could be there - and I still love those drawers! I saw that Lori had purchased the first set - they look great in her studio.
