REMEMBER! RAIN or SHINE

Don't forget that Bluebird's Vintage Market will be held RAIN or SHINE! I was lucky to get notices in both the Springfield News-Leader May calendar pages and the Weekend Section so it's creating a lot of interest. The merchandise will be inside, out of the weather. We'd love to have a balmy 70 degree day with gentle breezes and sunshine but if not...we're prepared!

Here's the sign to look for ... when you see this you're nearly there...


A couple of dealers have brought some things on over and started setting up and I must say I'm really excited at the things I've seen. There's a wide variety of goods so you're sure to find several "must haves".

The mini tea room my daughter Natalie is setting up promises to be memorable. Here's a sampling of the menu items...my Granny Bridges chocolate cake ... Mom's Apple Pie ... Coconut Walnut Bread from the recipe used at Kirby House Tea Room in Abilene, KS ... and we're planning to offer the sweetest, reddest, most mouthwatering Ozark-grown strawberries. Are you hungry yet? That's just to whet your appetite. Everything is homemade except the doughnuts so if you forget breakfast you can have one of those with a steaming cup of coffee.

And more good news for shoppers:  local delivery is available for large purchases. The details will be worked out with buyer and the delivery person but it's nice to know you don't have to pass up a larger piece of furniture if you see it.

Thanks in advance to my dealers for supporting this sale every step of the way. They are the best! And also my daughter who is coming in from Kansas to arrange the Tea Room. Last but never least, my wonderful mother, Juanita Bridges, who has worked by my side tirelessly checking off one "to do" list then starting another one. Whether it's laundering vintage linens and ironing them with just the right amount of 'real' starch, baking up a slew of pies, or whisking away a cob web, she has been there all the way.

Hope to see you all Saturday! It's gonna be a lot of fun :)

T-Minus Two Weeks and Counting!

Getting excited about Bluebird's Vintage Market...just two weeks away. I have a lot of great items and I know the other dealers have been saving up their 'goodies' too. As soon as the barn fills up, we'll put things outdoors :)


Here are some happy shoppers from last year's event being eyed by that unusual bloke from down under...



Directions to the Market:

1 mile south of Republic MO at Rolling Acres Farm. From south Main Street & Route 60 drive 1 mile south (Main St. turns into State Hwy. P). At Farm Road 194 turn left (East) -- you'll see the Rolling Acres sign on the corner. Take the first right into the farm lot and just past the chicken house is the barn with the sale.
Watch for "Bluebird's Vintage Market" signs.
