Birch + Bird Vintage Home Interiors

As Rachel shared yesterday, we are still on Cloud 9 after our fabulous day at the market this past weekend! We had high hopes but could have never imagined what a wonderful day it would be for us, the EcoDairy and all 55 of our amazing vendors. Our vendors’ booths by far surpassed our expectations and we are so proud of them all! We have no doubt that many good things will come their way as a result of Fieldstone Vintage Market and are so excited to watch them grow. One of our lovely vendors, Sharalee Prang, was kind enough to take stunning photos of all of the fabulous displays and other excitement throughout the day on Saturday and this vimeo slideshow truly captures the essence of Fieldstone.  We’re so excited to share the rest of her photos with you very soon!

It feels a little surreal that after months of planning, our big day has come and gone but now it’s time for us to turn our focus back to our families and homes and some other exciting events in the very near future. This Saturday will be another busy day for Rachel and I. In the afternoon, we’ll be heading into Vancouver for a full evening of networking, cocktails and fun! We’ll start at Anthropologie for Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge‘s book signing. I am so excited to finally get my hands on a copy of Design Sponge at Home and am so looking forward to meeting Grace in person…I’ve been reading her blog for years now! We’ll also see Janis Nicolay there (she was so sweet to come visit us at Fieldstone despite her crazy schedule!) and are hoping to finally meet Jan of Poppytalk, who’s been working on what’s sure to be a gorgeous backdrop for the evening’s book signing and craft night.

Aren’t these herringbone floors fantastic? They’re made out of reclaimed shipping pallets…I’m in love! I’m also loving these Safari Stoneware dishes over at Anthropologie…perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas, don’t you think?

Anthropologie

After the Design*Sponge book signing, we’re going to whisk ourselves off to the Loden Hotel for Blend 2011: A Fusion of Social Media & Design alongside 50+ other bloggers who are part of the Canadian Design & Lifestyle Bloggers West group that we belong to. Also in attendance will be influential designers and tastemakers like Suzanne Dimma & Mark Challen of Canadian House & Home, Shauna Levy of IDSWest and designer Kelly Deck. The entire evening has been generously sponsored by IKEA and coincides with IDSWest, which will be at the Vancouver Convention Thursday through Sunday. Cannot wait!

We’re also hoping to squeeze in a little shopping and stop in at Stepback on West Broadway. We had the pleasure of meeting owners Robin & Chris at Fieldstone where they spent several hours browsing the pathways with their family. Such great people and we’d love to take a peak inside their shop! Seems like the perfect way to wind down from all of the Fieldstone preparations…shopping, mingling with like-minded bloggers, cocktails and a luxurious night at the Loden = bliss!
