My first Blogger meeting and a little shopping

A few weeks ago I got an email from

Debra of Capers of the Vintage Vixens

asking me if I knew about an antique and collections show in

Naugatuck Ct.

She and her daughter Nicole were doing that show for the first time,

in the past having only just shopped there.

I thought sure, why not in the middle of Winter!!!!!....

months from me going to a fleamarket.

I had met Debra thru White Wednesday and loved her blog

and her look so I knew it would be fun.

I got my favorite shopping pals to come along.

Kathleen and Paula.

No arm twisting required!

I had never been to Naugatuck. Sounded like it should have been

on the East side of the state.

Everything there has a "tuck" at the end of it...))

but it was near Waterbury more in the middle of the state.

We live in such a small state. I know for some of you

from one end of your state to the other

can seems like an eternity.

I don't particularly like to drive so

my little state suits me fine.

It was being held at the High School so it wasn't fancy

and there wasn't anything large like furniture but mostly little treasures of

jewelry and vintage memorabilia.....so we had fun looking thru

all the goodies. It was the kind of show that you really

had to keep your eyes peeled.

Just the kind of place we all love.

Then we got to Debra's and her daughter Nicole's booth

which was much more decorated with an eye for design.

See all your yummy items from her booth?

Her and her talented daughter make pillows too and handbags.

Aren't they cute together? She's the first person I've met in blogland.

I was trying to not be too nervous:) lol

Her and her daughter are as sweet as they come, just as they seem on their blog.

We were talking like old friends in no time.

Her booth was filled with 50's vintage colors and some Victorian.

It had such a feminine touch that really appealed to us

and I'm sure all of you out there.

I bought the cutest white beaded bag.

A set of 3 glass etched apothacary bottles

and vintage postcards.

I

Kathleen picked up this adorable vintage hat decorated with sweet milinery.
Maybe she'll wear it for Easter?

We made our way around to all the booths

making sure we didn't miss anything.

Kathleen's a linen girl and is always looking for something new

I didn't get this silver bag. Looking at it I wished I had.

I was saving my money for an old book I saw which I'll share on

another post.

I took pictures of the things Paula bought that

I'll show on Wednesday too...

White of course!

Afterwards we left we went to lunch.....

at "First and Last" in Middletown on Main Street.

Paula's being shy :)) and Kathleen is just rummaging thru

her bag I call "the suitcase". It's the "in" thing.

Big Bags!!!

I'm just jealous because it's too FAB!

I was famished and had the brunch buffet

and had 3 plate full....which of course everyone noticed....

mostly salad I protested.

I was so full but the food was amazing.

For dessert they had a tirimisu pudding that was

out of this world!

I shared it with Paula.

Good thing I was so full I would have gone for seconds on that one.

Next time I'll start with dessert!

We all had a great day!!!

and we'll do it again next year!!!!

Thanks Debra for letting me know about

the show.

Isn't blogging great????
