After almost exactly 3 months of preparation and planning, the Fieldstone Vintage Market was an absolute success in every way possible.  With the only day of sunshine in a weather forecast predicting rain every other day, our prayers were definitely answered on Saturday.  The sun shone gloriously all day long and so did the happy, smiling faces of vendors and customers alike.  A steady flow of shoppers started before the gates were even officially open to take advantage of all the amazing treasures up for grabs and with 55 vendors, it was truly handmade and vintage shopping heaven.

Surrounded by mountains and Fraser Valley farms, the field of the Bakerview EcoDairy was the perfect backdrop for the first annual Fieldstone Vintage Market.  We are so thankful they gave us and all the vendors this amazing opportunity.  We could not have pulled this off without them.  Tanya Curtis, the Marketing Manager of the Nutriva Group, and Helinda Vanderkooi, the owner of theBakerview EcoDairy had a lot of faith when they sent that very first email to us 3 months ago.  Barely rested from The Old School Market, we couldn’t help but jump on board when they asked us to join them in planning a European-style outdoor market with enough vendors to fill the field.  How could we resist?

There was a sea of white tents and unique finds were in every nook and cranny.  The incredible amount of time and effort that all the vendors put into their products and displays really made the market something quite special.  There was so much to take in and we noticed the same customers browsing for hours at a time, going round the paths again and again.  With every pass, you would see something else that caught your eye.

Thank you so much to all the talented vendors for sharing the day with us!  Judging by the armfuls of goodies leaving the field we hope that you went home with a lot less than you came with.  A very special thank you to all who helped make the day so enjoyable, especially the Nutrifoods Market and Bakerview EcoDairy staff.  Don’t think your hard work has gone unnoticed, we could not have done this without you.  Thank you so much to my husband and my girls for putting up with my absence and for the extra help from my family so that I could make it to meetings on time or head out treasure hunting with Lily.  And of course, thank you to all the shoppers who braved the crowds to come see what the Fieldstone Vintage Market was all about.  We hope that the day was as wonderful for you as it was for us.
