Our first Greenflea is in the bag! After waking up late, to pouring rain, to falling down the steps with a box of glassware, we made it to the venue on time to open. And just as we finished setting up our tent, the sun came out! An answer to prayer for sure!
With a few exceptions all of our vendors showed up and set up their tents. They all did an awesome job of displaying their wares and were ready for our first customers!
We had a variety of items: vintage glassware, reclaimed barn wood furniture, antique iron gates, gorgeous painted furniture, spectacular vintage coin jewelry, adorable flower headbands & pins, vintage linens and jewelry, framed artwork, adorably decorated vintage bottles, vintage suitcases, hand-painted gourd birdhouses, loads of potted annuals and started-from-seed hot pepper bushes ready to produce. There was primitive furniture and tools, antiques, knicks knacks and some old odds and ends! Overall, it was wonderful; it was eco-friendly; it was eco-chic; it was GREEN!
Some of our vendors stayed until 7 pm catching the Creekside concert goers. Actually, we've been considering changing Gahanna Greenflea's time from 10-4 to 1-7. What do you think? We'd love to hear your opinion.
A reporter from The Rocky Fork Enterprise showed up to do a story and take some photos...thank you RFE!
Special thanks to Barb Drobnick of Honey Grove Botanicals for providing our venue, ideas, twitter feed, and support, Therese O'Donnell Leonard for assisting with ideas, publicity, Facebook, and fielding phone calls, and to my husband, Jim, without whom I could not have done this, for his help with the landscaping,general set up, tear down and tremendous support overall.
We hope that you stay tuned for next month's vendors as we hope to have a whole new group of vendors plus some of the vendors from our first Greenflea.
Help us to keep Matilda hopping by continuing to promote and spread the word about Gahanna Greenflea!
