The Expo....What I Bought Part 1

A couple of weekends ago, Maddie & I went up to Portland to the Palmer Wirfs show at the Expo.  This is one of my favorite local shows to go to and I try and go just about every time it's in Oregon.  There are lots of vendors and tons of eye candy.  A lot of it is pretty expensive but I usually can find some good things to make the drive worth it. 

The Summer show also has outdoor vendors.  I found that these sellers were much more willing to barter with me (or Maddie, as she insists on doing the haggling).  The outside of the show definitely had more of an antique fair feel where as the inside was like walking in an expensive antique mall.  I bought two things inside the show.  The rest I found outside.


I couldn't resist adding this thermos to my collection.  The color combination is amazing!


This shabby canister fits in perfect on my patio cart with all of my other kitchen-y things that are too worn for inside.

 
 

Some vintage dishtowels.  Love the Florida one!


There was a booth that had tons of metal letters in all colors and sizes.  I picked these out for my bedroom.


Maddie picked out this cute combo for her room.  We spent about 30 minutes in this booth digging and trying different arrangements.  It was so fun!


My favorite find of the day was this laundry bag with a donkey on it!  How perfect is this?  I am in love with it!

Stay tuned for part 2....

  12. That laundry bag is pretty darn cute! I keep buying stuff like that, in hopes that it will make my "laundry room" nicer, but it's still the icky, spidery basement and I really need to stop!
    Have a great week!
