Ruffles and Rust 2012: 7 Hot Trends in Vintage
Hi Pals… I hope you all had a wonderous Mother's Day! We had a nice morning with just us four and some heartwarming handmade gifts… and one luxurious store-bought one (thank you honey!)… then family brunch with my parents, mother-in-law, and my brother and his fam (including two wee cutie girl cousins).. then we got SLURPEES (what can I say… I heart 7-11) then I got to take a NAP on the couch… heaven!
BUT… rewind to Friday night. I was sick and lost my voice but not my my desire to SHOP VINTAGE at with my Mom one of my all-time favorite shows… Ruffles and Rust! After a few hours at R & R, I fell into a crumpled heap… clutching a mug of hot tea… but BEFORE…
The head honcho, Timi Weathers, was kind enough to let me in a bit early to snap some pix… I'm sure she knows I am "pre-shopping" at the same time! So here are the trends I spotted:
Vintage Trends
1. Crinoline and Lace
2. Garden Inspired
3. Light and White
4. Maps and Globes
5. Nautical
6. Suitcases
7. Tropical Brights
Wish you all could have been there with me! What are you collecting or hunting right now?
Thanks to Timi and Ruffles and Rust! If you can't wait till fall for the next R & R show… visit the Ruffles and Rust Square store in Snohomish, WA
I’m going on Friday night next time! I heard that lots of great stuff was already gone by Saturday morning (when I went.) I blogged about the show, too. I love how you captured the trends. Did you buy any goodies?
Next time I’ll have to get your phone number before so we can meet in person. :)
Great photos of all the different areas for lovely vintage finds. I think every office should have a globe map light, not sure about with the dingle balls though. I should become an interior decorator, because I certainly do not have any room in my own house for all the wonderful vintage items that I come across, but would love to work into a design.
Love the vintage rusty items and all the ruffles!! That tutu is so cute!!
I featured this post in my Monday Bytes because I really enjoyed it. If you have time check it out here!!

Love the old fashioned cosmetic travel case and always wonder why they don’t bring it back. Crinolines! So cute and I used to love them, so feminine. Also wonder why they don’t bring back vent windows in cars…. Hugs and hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Glad I know you so I can try to stay trendy. Great post.

Love the orange drawers! So many fun things to see – hope you are feeling better!
