Hopefully I can make it 2016's Vintage Expo or possibly to take a trip to the Island again even before then and meet her if I do. <br /><br />I will hold out hope that one day a great vintage event springs up your province (state?) like this, too, sweet Lorena. <br /><br />Big hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-63552919649483002582015-09-15T11:09:30.233-07:002015-09-15T11:09:30.233-07:00I wish we had at least ONE vintage event EVER….. t...I wish we had at least ONE vintage event EVER….. too bad you're missing out this year, I see you're also going to miss out on meeting Sheila.Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720997862417551402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-39647291344870933192015-09-15T10:41:15.326-07:002015-09-15T10:41:15.326-07:00Same here - massively!!!

I wish that there were events like this closer to home for us (it takes about seven - eight hours to get to Victoria from Penticton). There are a small number of antiques & collectibles shows in a three hour radius (mostly in the fall, too), but they rarely have much in the way of vintage clothing (and even jewelry and accessories can be hit and miss, and/or wildly overpriced, at times), an area that the Victoria Vintage Expo excelled at.<br /><br />We might just have to each start one in our respective towns! :) :) :)<br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy weekend wishes!<br />♥ Jessica<br /><br />Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-12755482895395770932015-09-04T13:57:14.145-07:002015-09-04T13:57:14.145-07:00That is so cool!
