::The First Maven's Vintage Driveway Sale::

Peeps.

I had THE best time on Sunday.  You should've been there.  All 1860-ish of ya.

My Painting Mavens of Awesomeness set up a pop-up sale together in one of our driveways, which just happens to be on the corner of a fairly busy road.

 (Next few pics are my craptastic stuff, some of which I haven't posted about, but will do so this week.  Perhaps.)

It was magical.  

There was wine and guacamole.  Come on now.

I brought Walmart cookies....I paint, Peeps, I don't cook or bake.

We had pretty steady traffic all day, and everyone sold stuff.  

Sara (our hostess)'s set up....go like her at Revived!

This is Kari's set up....go like her at Cottage in the Woods Creations!

Next up is Aimee's Hubby.  And her set up....go like her at ReSyled Vintage Designs!

And our newest Maven Alexandria....go like her at Foreverest Handmade Home & Vintage!

 It's happening folks.  My vision is happening, and I'm sooooo over-the-moon excited to see where this journey takes us all.  I have new friends who get me, who share my desire to support one another and cheer each other and teach and learn from each other in an otherwise very competitive market....pooling our talents to make us all better.  I was awed by how each of our spaces looked different, how our individual artistic interpretations reflected each of our individual tastes and talents.  It was amazing.  Just like I talk about in ::the robin's nest::  Yeah, we all paint furniture (build a nest).  But we each add our heart and soul and creativity using the raw materials we stumble upon to work our magic.  We own our art, reflect our tastes, and appreciate each other's interpretations.  Magic, I tell ya.

Some of us will be setting up again in a couple weeks in another Maven's driveway, so if you're heading our way, watch for info on times and place. I'll introduce you to a couple more Mavens you've not met yet as the time gets closer.  They're all kinds of awesome too.

And fist-bumps to my Painting Mavens of Awesomeness.  Serendipity strikes again.....thanks for joining me on my journey.  You rock my world.  And that's sayin' something.  A big something.

Sharing with Claudia's Favorite Thing Party....these women and these markets are my lifeblood right now.
