A few photos of things we love ~ pictures courtesy of 'Tres Birds Photography'





These sweet ladies came to the ball, and were the hit of the evening ~ The sweet lady in the red ball gown was the winner of the evening!

Me, Deb ~ Garden Party, Linda ~ Luluz, & Celia ~ some of our favorite people

Our friends Christy ~ Ballyho and Hollie ~ Funky Junk, traveled over the mountain to attend the ball!

Celia with Patricia ~ Tippy Stockton & our sweetest neighbor, Amy from Amy's Vintage Cottage in Sumner, WA., we will be visiting her,on our next trip over...(so sorry I didn't get a picture of Kris, Amy's partner, so much fun and loved having them for neighbors at the show!!!)

Me and Patricia ~ Tippy Stockton

Debra Burton ~ Ormolulu & Todd from Bountiful Home & Nursery ~ love his sash!!

John & Bob Cool Junk ~ They look pretty great in their tuxedo attire!!


Thanks Timi for a FABULOUS Show!! Ruffles & Rust was an absolutely Amazing Show! A perfect setting ~ two old white barns with open beamed ceilings, wood walls and a fabulous black & white painted rustic floor ~ it was perfect for Ruffles & Rust!

We had so much fun....meeting new vendors, chatting & dinning out! We even had a fire alarm go off Friday night at 1AM ~ that wasn't fun, but added to the excitement of our trip.(We were told later, a few boys in a high school band were having fun).

Isn't She Lovely!

Today I had the pleasure of watching Ava, she is a small little wonder! Just hearing her laugh, and watching her play, was my gift today. She made me feel whole and complete, she gave me a peace of mind today ~ so relaxing.

Thank you lovely Ava.

Kisses & Hugs, Nana

A MAD TEA ~ PARTY

Celia and I Welcome you to 'The Mad Hatter Vintage Flea Market'

The Mad Hatter began as a vision from a story book, and memories from my daughters childhood, and lots of imagination. We then found this great little grange, and with help from family and friends that love us, we brought it to become concrete form. Piece by piece, until one day our vision became real.

We thank all the shoppers, visitors and vendors that are helping manifest our dream. The show was astounding and exhilarating. Celia and I are taking a little time to seize the moment. We want to savor it as long as we can. We hope all the vendors are taking a little time to enjoy their success, we couldn't do it with out you.

XO Glad & Celia






Hi Carol! I love The Mad Hatter Hat you found for me!!

Thank You! Blair Tellers from The Inlander!! You get us...The fun of discovering a broken-down nothing and turning it into something...its a gift of resourcefulness.

Getting ready to open up Wonderland for our visitors!

'The Bees Knees' Assistant Chef Shari, Chef Lynn, Tweedledum & Tweedledee
Food of course, the age-old companion of making everything better, Our 'Bees Knees' Menu pleased everyone.

The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, all on a summer day! The Knave of Hearts, he sole those tarts and took them quite away!!

Shari, serving up her delicious salad, this little lady has a heart bigger than her fork. She brings a smile to my heart and always a bright light to my day! XO

All That Glitter ~ Hollie & Becky and all their inspiring paper art and the most darling pieces of furniture and the amazing fireplace mantel, Hollie's hubby made from pieces of molding...very cool!!
