GREAT FALLS BALLOON FESTIVAL

AUGUST 17,18,19 2012

             Lewiston/Auburn Maine is the scene of a fantasic balloon festival. Year after year, it gets better and better.

Noah's Ark, Destiny, Stinky the Skunk, Gus T Guppy & The Purple People Eater came to fly over us. 

 



          The weather was not good on Friday evening scaring away the festival goers. Saturday the weather cleared and the people came to see the balloons, eat the food and shop with the vendors.

 

CONCORD DOWNTOWN MARKET DAYS

JULY  19,20,21 2012 

Something New



Sterling Silver plus





Resin Buddhas, turtles & elephants

        Another great year at Downtown Concord Days. The Downtown committee changed how we set up this year. All vendors were allowed 20ft deep so that if you had a 10x10 you actually got a 10x20 space. So we took the plunge and set up a 20x20. This worked out very well for us as our product was very well spaced out.

        The crowd was great as usual and we were visited by many old friends and met some great new friends (customers .. :) )

Dragons and Lizards and Rats

                                                    

Center Harbor Flea and Craft Sale

A new stop on our travels and shows was in Ctr Harbor NH on July 7th. This was a fund raiser for the Congregational Church. Due to construction on their regular location near the firehouse, it was held on the church property. A smaller than usual crowd but a good time had by all.

Andover NH 70th 4th of July Celebration

The day started off with rain... oh no ...not again!!! But soon the sun was out, the people started to arrive and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Always a good day in Andover. It was Andover's 70th 4th of July Celebration with 50 entries in the parade. There was also a 5k race in the morning, a car show in the afternoon and of course FIREWORKS that night. A flea market,book sale and awesome food vendors rounded out the day. 

Ride to the Sky --- Mt Washington June 14, 2012

Ride to the Sky at Mt Washington

Our first time at the "Ride to the Sky" during Laconia Bike Week 2012 was a beautiful day at the base of Mt Washington. Many bikers took advantage of the the great weather and they say you could see for miles and miles and miles.

Stormville NY

      So happy last weekend did not turn out like this weekend. We had beautiful weather in Stormville NY. The first time for us to have a show there and it turned out very nice. Over 600 vendors selling everything from the kitchen sink to you name it!!! New, old, antique and somebody elses junk LOL.  Lara Spencer author of "I Brake for Yard Sales" and Good Morning America Pop New anchor was there, also !!! Doing some homework for a new book and an episode of DIY Network. Sadly, she did not stop at our booth but she did stop across from us and told how she would make a lamp from an old musical instrument.

         We are thinking about going back for Labor Day Weekend..... if you love flea markets or antique hunting... that is the place to go.

           Hope to see some of you there!

Tucson Gem Show

   We are in Tucson Az this winter. This is the place to be if you want to see what is new in the jewelry business. Be it beads, gems, rough, findings, gold, silver, copper etc..  RV Essentials is looking to make more of its own jewelry and this was The Place to find the goods we need. Unfortunately no cameras were allowed but as soon as new jewelry is produced, we will post pictures.
