Back from the Ruffles & Rust Show & 3 Cities

It's been a busy first two months of 2011.  I just got back from a 2-week buying trip to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Seattle.  The new spring '11 collections were plentiful.  I found the most unique items for Bambulei that I know you will want to wear.

My last stop was Seattle where I helped my sister, Jane, in her booth at the Ruffles & Rust Show in Monroe, WA.  Ruffles & Rust can be described as fancy cowgirls (and boys) that like rusty, whitewashed,  items with ruffles!  Not really, it's hard to visualize so take a look at the photos of my sisters booth, Valley Vintage.  It was about 36 degrees the first night they opened.  I got to wear a vintage beaver coat from Jane's collection of vintage furs that she brought to sell.  It kept me warm and toasty.  Her criteria for what inventory she decided to bring was "an assortment of items that represent Valley Vintage".  


Some unique vintage items and new items (shoes, jewelry and clothing) will be coming into the shop this week so stop by and see what's new and unique in Bambulei.
