Details

Christie Repasy co-host of the Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks is the amazing designer of the entrance, admission booth.
 I love watching my SIL put everything together. Same as if she was painting a canvas. First thing she does in the morning before the show is make sure everything is brought at the front entrance and then everything comes out of the bags! Lace, vintage table cloths, blankets, ribbons.....I am there but out of the way, if she needs me I will help if not I let her do her thing. Vintage Fabrics, lace, tassels, silk, soft cream, pinks are positioned in the right place. 
 Lace and Azaleas adorn the mascot of the show
 Christie also made a banner using vintage rose images and pink tassels and ribbons are added between the letters.
 The Wall is stunning as always! 
And there is a story behind the crochet blanket. Nonna Pat, Christie's Mom crochet this blanket for her first granddaughter, Cherise, Christie's daughter. Just beautiful......
Ciao for now
Rita
