Every Husband’s Nightmare Spring Show

The show opens tonight for preview, from 5-8pm with a $3.00 donation.  The rest of the week, admission is FREE.  Parking is always free.  Now that the old exhibition hall has been demolished, the show is in the Cloverleaf Building, at the back of the fair complex.  Tuesday – Friday hours are 10am-8pm.  Saturday. 10am – 5pm.

I delivered MANY boxes and bins and old suitcases filled with inventory!  Turning that, into this:

I brought mostly farmhouse rustic decor to the show this year.  Including lots of crates and trays made from upcycled old weathered fencing:

Decorative shutters and shadow boxes too.

My items will be very easy to find.  Most of my product is displayed on the tables directly to the left after you enter the building.

I didn’t make the weathered wood potting benches, but they are pretty fabulous!  Great for indoor decor use or outdoor garden work!  Those dried hydrangea are from my garden.

I brought quite a bit of Paris chic decor too.

The rest of the displays were still ‘in progress’ when I left, so I didn’t get pictures of the rest of it.  Lots of great spring home decor and Mother’s Day gifts, vintage, hand-made and upcycled goods.

Every Husband’s Nightmare Bazaar in the Cloverleaf Building at the Washington County Fairgrounds is now OPEN.  $3.00 admission for Preview Night, tonight, 5-8pm.  The rest of the week admission is free.  Free parking.  LOTS of great stuff.  You will LOVE the new location!

It’s “EVERY HUSBAND’S NIGHTMARE” show time!!

Washington County Fairgrounds.

April 18 -22, 2017  ~ Weekdays 10am – 8pm; Saturday 10am-5pm

(take advantage of the evening shopping hours if you want to avoid the crowds!)

I stopped back by the show to take photos after I had stocked my booth at Stars.  I wasn’t able to take as many photos at the show as I’d hoped to because I ran out of memory!

I brought plenty of signs!

And my ‘new favorite’ thing to make . . . . .

CROWNS!

Lots of different sizes and styles.

~ Vintage sheet music ~ Glitter ~ tea stained lace ~ with all kinds of adornments!

Something for everyone!

Look for my mermaid style crowns in the beach display.

Grubby candles!  I found a stash of grubby candles leftover from when we had our store!  They STILL smell amazing!  In fact, you will probably smell them before you see them.  This is the last of them, so grab them up while you can.  I won’t be producing them anymore.

I brought lots of ‘bits & bobs’ for the crafters and scrap bookers.  Vintage Bingo cards.  Vintage paper doilies.  Little notebooks and journals.

All kinds of fun little stuff in these jars too!

 On to the rest of the show!

Americana and vintage; quilts, Pyrex and silver.

So much more than I was able to take pictures of!!!

Cream and black and white goes with everything!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner!

It’s SHOW TIME!!

Sorry I’m a little late getting these pictures of the show posted.  I’ve been distracted by all this sunshine; as I’m guessing the rest of you locals have been too!  Fear not!  The rain is supposed to return tonight so you won’t feel guilty abandoning your gardening duties for a little shopping adventure!

Looks like ‘my color’ is catching on with a lot of other vendors!

And all these pictures just barely scratch the surface of what you will find at this show!  Truly something for everyone!

EVERY HUSBAND’S NIGHTMARE BAZAAR

is open from 10am – 8pm Today, Thursday and Friday.  Saturday from 10am – 5pm.

  SHOPPING TIP: Best times to avoid the crowds is evenings!!  

Every Husband’s Nightmare Spring Bazaar . . . .

Opened TODAY and runs through Saturday at 5pm at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Hillsboro.  Here are some pics of the signs that I took to the show:

Not sure how well I like how I have it set up, but not sure how ELSE I could do it either!?!?!

I sure two of the 8′ tables set ‘back to back’ to create one large square table; with a shutter facing outward on each of the four sides.

I’ve got too many signs to really use the shutters to HANG them on; except for the little bit of extra room ABOVE the ones ‘stacked on end’.

Had to take some of the really long ones and just pile them in a tub; and/or prop them at the end of the tables.  (can’t hang things on the wall of this facility!)

I’ve got this one small ‘tiered’ stand that helps a little for some of the small signs.

I’ll take an inventory again after the show to see which signs sold the best and probably weed out some that didn’t sell well for the next show.  (AND I’ll have some ‘holiday themed’ signs for the fall show to make room for)

Keeping the ‘piles’ in order will probably be a challenge.  I’m sure they’ll get mixed up as people look through the stacks.

Short or actually ‘building walls’ to display them on, this was my best guess.  Plus I have to be able to HAUL my display pieces in my car!

And that’s IT for my items at the show!!!   NOTHING like what I used to do.  But that’s life!  My bad back is just getting too old to haul as much stuff as I used to!

Here are some pics of the rest of the show.  )some of my signs are also placed throughout the other displays also.)

So get in while the gettin’s good!  Open 10am – 8pm Wed Friday and 10am – 5pm Saturday.

***HELPFUL HINT:  If you prefer to AVOID the crowds, shop in the evenings!

More Spring show pictures

 

These pictures are of some of the ‘blended areas’ of the show, but not the ENTIRE show.  I ran out of disk space on my camera and didn’t get pictures of the antique area and a lot of the spring decor and craft areas.

Every Husband’s Nightmare Bazaar ~ Spring 2009

• April 21-25, 2009
  Weekdays 10am-8pm
  Saturday 10am-5pm
• Washington County Fair Complex, Hillsboro, OR (Main Exhibit Hall

Ahhhhhhh . . . . the sun is shining and you’ve been busily spring cleaning and working in the garden. Time to take a break and head to the bazaar for a little SHOPPING THERAPY!

Here are pictures of the area I set up:

Red and yellow cottage kitchen.

Potting shed and nesting place.

These rustic wood ‘vases’ filled with tall twigs are so great to decorate with! Just the perfect thing to fill in an empty corner inexpensively and with a simple and ‘organic’ look.

Sweet little robin’s eggs.

Several BIG (10-12′ tall!!!) curly willow branches. YES! They are for sale!

Coastal cottage decor.

PINK!

Paint ’em yourself and SAVE! Unfinished shelves.

Grubby candles. Handcrafted in Oregon.

Grubby electric candles.

Yummy Oatmeal cookie wax tart ments.

Shabby chic yellow desk and chest. Priced to sell FAST at just $49.95 each!

A wee bit of Paris. Little framed pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

Vintage kerosene stove $99.95.

Assorted primitive needfuls: Difficult to see in the photo because I have them bundled up in plastic bags; rag balls and primitive stuffed stars, bead garland, old wooden spools.

Primitive linen valances.

Lots of pretty and practical gifts for Mother’s Day! Magnetic list pads, sticky notes, note cards, mini notebooks, journals, coupon file folders . . . . many of them bundled in sets and tied up with pretty ribbon

One of a kind journals. Each cover an original, one of a kind design. Lined ‘tea stained’ paper inside for a vintage feel. Makes a great gift!

More stationary gift sets.

THE BEST DEAL OF THE SHOW!!!

We didn’t have room for this wonderful shabby chic vanity in the area with our other stuff, so it’s up towards the front end (closer to the registers) of the show. We got it at a GREAT price, and didn’t have to do any work on it, so we are selling it for just $39.95! It’s gonna go FAST at that price, so get to the show early!

And that is just the stuff that WE brought to the show! There is lots and LOTS more !!
