Mad Maine Vintage Shop

This little blog will chronicle my ventures into selling vintage items in a local antique market.
My booth is called Mad Maine Vintage Shop - it features items inspired by a certain popular TV show,
and I am located in lovely Maine. Viva Vintage!

I stink at Valentine's Day (and that's ok)

Blenko hearts, repro Hershey's tin, teddybear wood box, heart-shaped tea steeper, red bird and a doily. 

This is all I could come up with for Valentine's Day in my booth.  I have hardly anything adorable, sweet, romantic, cutesy or other sweet temptations for Valentine shoppers, and it took me 1/2 hour just to do this strained vignette.

Pathetic. And I call myself an antique booth owner. Shame.  That said, I love browsing other people's blogs and seeing their Valentine displays.  The Polka Dot Closet is one of my favorite blogs - I can browse Carol's Victorian dream world for hours, but her lovely stuff is like sci-fi to me - it is not *my* reality.

My excuse for the above display (and I am sticking to it) is that I am not particularly fond of this holiday and never have been.  And every year I absolutely DREAD those little card exchanges the kids have to do at school. 

But hey, since I am not American I get a pass.

Right?

Yeah right.

Do you decorate your booth for Valentine's Day?  Do you get sweet rewards?
