The Modern Pop-Up Flea Market IN CHICAGO!!

{nice work featured above}

This event looks really cool! I learned about it from NICE (while searching the ever wonderful Flickr). She is also a master of setting up cute booths, so I may see if she wants to be interviewed here too.







Here is what their site says:
"ABOUT:
A vintage and antiques marketplace for the thrifty set, filled with reasonably priced vintage and antiques décor, furniture, clothing, and accessories.

Created and executed by Katherine Raz (BackGarage.com) and Libby Alexander (Alexander Salvage), The Vintage Bazaar had its first successful show at the DANK Haus in Chicago's Lincoln Square on Feb. 27, 2010.

The next Bazaar takes place at the Congress Theater on August 22, 2010.
Have a question? Just email Katherine (katherine@thevintagebazaar.com) or Libby (libby@thevintagebazaar.com)."

Renegade First Shows of 2010

Hope to make it to Chicago this year!!!

Highland Park (Chicago) Kids Trunk Show/Craft Fair

I had previously contacted you regarding a childrens designer trunk show style shopping event that I organized. The last one was a great success and I am organizing 2 more this month. The concept is still the same - it's boutique style shopping at discounted prices featuring local vendors. Both locations are existing retail spaces with good walking traffic.

This will be the 5th show I've organized, the past being in Wrigleyville, Lincoln Park and the South Loop. The past shows have proven to be a profitable venue to introduce our products to a new audience as well as liquidate excess/past season’s inventory.

Below is information regarding the 2 upcoming events. Because the venues are real retail spaces up for lease I could only finalize the details in the last couple of days and would need confirmation of your participation before this coming Wednesday.

ARMITAGE SHOW
- 3 days August 21-23 Friday to Sunday
- regular store hours 9:30 - 7:00 pm
- retail storefront on Armitage and Fremont (by Lush, Paul Frank Store, Camelot)
- will have no more than 8 vendors

HIGHLAND PARK SHOW
- 3 days August 28, 29 and 30
- regular store hours from 9:00 - 8:00 pm
- retail storefront on 2nd street across Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and Saks 5th Ave
- to coincide with Taste of Highland Park and Port Clinton Art Show
- will have no more than 6 vendors


Should you have questions or require more information I can be best reached at 312-343-4964 or through this email address. Feel free to refer other vendors but we won't have vendors selling the same or similar products and will accept the first one that confirms.

Thank you,

Essimar ~ from Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago

This lovely lady lent me permission to use her lovely images on this site. She vended at Renegade this past weekend, and had a very unique setup! She is located in Chicago, and I remember seeing her lovely paper entities years ago on etsy. Check her website out HERE! and her on ETSY HERE!...or Flickr HERE :)
Her setup is cute and inviting. She uses lighter colors, such as the white background, and friendly & fun shelving to display ordinarily 2 dimensional items. Te shirts hanging are cool and eye catching, too, while that image of the man wearing her shirts is also great! I encourage everyone to display pictures of people actually USING their items!!! This is a great technique :)

DIY Trunk Show in Chicago
