The Vintage Marketplace, March 2013
I love going to The Vintage Marketplace, a craft fair held four times a year in Rainbow, CA. This time, Amie got to join me and we were on a mission for wedding decor and ideas. In addition to the overload of inspiration, Amie was able to buy quite a few decorations for the wedding from vintage metal serving trays to lace doilies for the centerpieces. Junkyard Gypsy I just saw Junkyard Gypsy for the first time on our last trip, I just love their vintage signs! Sweet Magnolias Farm While I love looking at the products these shop offer, their storefronts alone are such a work of art and decorated differently each time! Broke Jewels I love browsing the different necklace pieces that Broke Jewels offer, so many options to create your own unique necklace. They are on Etsy too! Earth Cookie Creations This is also a favorite stop for me! Gotta stock up on the amazingly creative scrapbook cards from Earth Cookie Creations! Each one is such a layered treasure down to the smallest detail. She even wrote a blog post about the fair that you can read here. I bought this first card for my grandma-in-law's birthday! Loved how bright and cheerful it was. Plus she has a

Thoughts on Club 33
My mind is still reeling and taking in our lunch at Club 33. I can now say I have been there, dined there, and even photographed the Club 33 toilet. I have been to Club 33. I still can't believe it. A dream come true, a wish that I have hoped for for eight years. Growing up I was always a Disney fan, of the park and the animated films. But when I really got hooked was eight years ago when I first learned of Hidden Mickeys. The first hidden Mickey I was ever shown is on Pirates of the Caribbean and learning about these various secrets of the parks, led me to look into more and more and more. Above all, Disneyland is my favorite Disney creation. And Club 33 is the exclusive, elusive, and most secretive part of this magical place. Luckily, my husband and my friend Lindsey joined me in my quest of learning all things Disneyland. Lindsey and I walked around with a Hidden Mickey book and toured the park like a scavenger hunt trying to uncover every single secret the Imagineers left to us. And since then, we have wished to go to Club 33. Dreamed of. Hoped for.
