The Nashville Time Traveler’s Vintage Expo

A couple of Saturday’s ago. My sister, my nephew, his wife and I went to Nashville for the Time Traveler’s Vintage Expo. We had planned it for several weeks and even though it had been a crazy week we were really excited to go. My niece heard about it and we decided to check it out. As I have mentioned before Nashville is about a three and a half hour drive for us.

I met my nephew and his wife in Madisonville and left my car there. We got some coffee and picked my sister up at her house and took off. Let me just say we have the most fun together. It doesn’t really matter what we do we always have a good time together. It seems like we laugh constantly.

We stopped at Buc-ee’s in Crossville for a bathroom break and a snack. I mentioned that in my post Monday. If you haven’t been to Buc-ee’s you really need to try it at least once. Here is the link to the post from Monday.

The expo was being held near the Nashville Fair grounds so it made getting into the expo and parking a little easier, we didn’t have to go downtown. It was a bit of a hike to get inside the building. At least it was indoors because it was HOT!!!!

The expo advertised clothing and home goods etc. we didn’t see many home goods.

It cost $12.00 to get into the expo. Once inside we found rows of booths set up. People were selling vintage clothes, purses and jewelry. Most vintage clothes will not fit me. They are really small but I still like to look. Now, when I think vintage, I think of clothes from the sixties and seventies. But one woman told me she had all of this vintage clothing from the early nineties. WHAT??? It’s hard to believe that was more than thirty years ago. That made me feel a little vintage. Anyway, It was a lot of fun. I apologize for the blurry pictures some of them I took from a video I did. We looked around and spent a few hours there before heading back home. We stopped for a quick dinner on the way home.

Is this not the most adorable thing? I can just imagine wearing this dress to a dance and going out for a milkshake afterwards.

This little purse was actually a hard shell purse. It was very unique.

I love this look. I love scarves and have several.

This was an interesting combination. Fancy!!!

Can you imagine wearing this around the house??

Now for a few things that I bought:

I love the scalloped edges on this dress. I thought it looked sort of
boho. I plan to wear it in the fall with a denim jacket. It is very flowy and comfy.
This purse is fairly large. You can tell by the size of the door handle beside it. I don’t think this is the original strap. Not all of it anyway. But I love these tapestry bags. It reminds me of one my mama used to have when I was a little girl.
This necklace is short and I love wearing it, and a couple of others I have, when I wear a collared shirt. It gives it a little something extra I think.
I love big rings. I always have. These are costume, and not really vintage, but they caught my eye when I first walked in, and when I went back around to the booth they were still there. It was a sign I should get them.
This was done by a local artist. She had several cat prints. Who is her model you might ask? Her cat Marvin. Marvin reminds me a lot of my big boy Gus.

That was the expo. I think this is the third year and I am hoping it grows every year from now on. I also hope they add more vintage home goods I think that would be a lot of fun. Do you like vintage clothes or jewelry?

Always remember

Love your day your way!!!!
