Team Meet Up in North Carolina

If two members constitutes a team, there was a team meet up this past Friday of the Vintage Etsy Street Team. 
Wendy of hilltopcottage on etsy and I met for lunch at Pierro's in the historic Hay Street district of Fayetteville, NC.  A sweet little chalk cat that I had purchased, via standinthesun.etsy.com Wendy's daughter's shop, was our mascot at the table.   
Can't wait to bring the little guy home to join my collection.

Downtown Fayetteville, despite rumor and has some wonderful shops for vintage hunters!  I love the art deco letter forms on this storefront.

 Wendy took me to two of her faves, the Cotton Exchange and the Livery, where she used to rent a physical space.  I was tempted by the full Shriner's costume, but settled on those fab safety glasses in their original packaging and some other small, packable goodies.
I was grateful to meet another involved "vesties" team-mate.  This marks my third official regional meet up since Los Angeles this summer and the Junk Bonanza last month.  Personal connection really helps to build foundation to the virtual team experience.  Thanks Wendy!

It was such a pleasure to meet Barbara, aka ionesattic in person! Such a lovely person! I appreciate her taking time away from her family to have lunch and do a little shopping with me! (I think she looks stunning in her new safety glasses! lol)
