Ok, I guess its time to compile a picture of the things I bought at the expo this weekend.
I bought way less than I thought I would, and ended up with plenty of money left over. I am SO picky and frugal.

A. A small lovely dress I got on the second day, for $2.00!!! It was such a score, and I hope my daughter fits it soon!
B. Vintage Catholic medal, I am Catholic and needed an every day necklace, so I grabbed it. I love it, and it was only $5.00
C. Hard to tell, but the print is adorable green and black deco stylings, with pink roses. its a tie-waist blouse from the 50s. I had to replace the buttons, but it was too cute to pass up at $5.00.
D. This was the first thing I bought, you cant tell from the picture, but its a dress and a coat. I got this thing for $15.00 and its in Fantastic condition! The jacket it adorable and has a cute peplum and fabric covered buttons. it has the neatest 40s print. Its so soft and silky, it will be my new spring dress! What a steal!
E. Plain brown hat. The netting needs some attention, but I have big plans for this hat. And it matches my favorite Evan Picone circle skirt, so I had to have it. Plus, it was only $10.00!
All in all I had a fantastic time. I spent a combined 7 hours there!
I saw a few of my customers, and was complimented on my vintage attire about 347829834789 times.
I met Anne from Lulu's Vintage & Shop Vintage Portland she was a darling dame! I nabbed some seamed stockings at her booth for a fair price. I was happy to meet her, as I have long followed her blog.
I saw some other vintage shops, one even had things he/she had bought from my local vintage haunt, and doubled the price on. (one was a shirt my husband tried on the other day.) So, I passed on that booth. I would rather support my dear and darling Urban Eccentric. haha.
I have been on the hunt for a great girdle/garterbelt. I found a NOS one and about died of excitement. For $5.00 no less. I sank lowly when I saw it was a waist of 30" which I am not. So I passed, but in retrospect wish I would have bought it and listed it on ebay. What a great price. Dang it.
I am eagarly anticipating for the next one in July. I may MAY may consider paying the CRAZY $30.00 fee for early entry next time. Either that, or just make sure to get there first thing Saturday morning.
If you are in the pacific northwest I would consider coming, its a great time.
