Rust & Ruffles - a beautiful vintage market

Friday, we drove 8 hours to Monroe, WA where a very fun early shopping experience was held.  Come Junk With Us put on a wonderful event, and it was so good to see and meet so many bloggers. 

I didn't buy anything, but I had a great reason!  I found a pair of shoes at Nordstrom that I just had to have.....but they were preeeetty expensive.  Tanner and I struck a deal that if I didn't buy anything at the market, I could have the shoes.  I agreed.  They are magical.  You can sort of see them in the picture below...but I'll have to take a new one to give them justice.  They are magical.  Oh, I already said that?  Sorry.... But they are MAGICAL!

Here are a few pictures from the night:



















So dapper...















There are the shoes....and my silly grin.  ugh. :)

The shoes look great and you look beautiful, but not sure how you could resist all the lovely things at the market!

Your dress & sash are sooo pretty! Oh, and of course the shoes :-)

You look so enchanting and the shoes are spectacular. You must have tremendous will power to pass up all of those lovely flea market finds. I commend you!

You all look amazing. I'm glad you posted a photo of all of you at the end as I initially thought Tanner must be really eccentric in that bow tie! I had a few teachers who dressed like that!
Love the shoes but I can't believe you didn't buy anything at the fair. I admire your will power. It's a quality that, thankfully, I don't have - otherwise I'd never get my own way all the time :)

Lucky ducky....I wish I was there, CA is so far from all these wonderful shows. I see people getting all excited in the blog world over Texas ans I get excited over WA and OR, I am not sure why, everyone says you gotta go to TX and all I want to see is the Barn Boys, Tarte and Retreat plus many others. It so look like you had a fabulous time and you all dressed so appropriately too :)i hope your week has been fabulous and thanks for sharing :)

Smiles,
Sheila

The shoes were worth it, I can tell! There were so many great things! I love the sign that asks people not to throw stones over the bank, it cracked me up. It is the kind of thing that would definitely be a conversation piece if you put it in your house. Looks like you had fun!

Although the shoes are very cute...I would have had a hard time trying to not strike another bargain after seeing all that great stuff! Good for you for having that kind of willpower!! :)
