WHERE: Evergreen County Fairgrounds

WHAT: Ruffles and Rust Vintage Market is Snohomish County’s collaborative celebration of all things perfectly old and charming. You might call Timi Weathers-Bottorff a curator, maybe an organizer, but either way, she’s the gal behind corralling her favorite area bloggers, creators, and collectors for this episodic antique and vintage shopping weekend.

You’re invited to wear some crazy old bridesmaid dress or grand ballroom getup as you wander the some 47 vendors set up at Monroe’s fairgrounds. Or not. Come as you are, just know that Weathers-Bottorff and company welcome you to approach your attendance at this shopping and inspiration opportunity with creativity.

Even if you’re most comfortable in jeans and a sweater, do bring plenty of cash. Organizers warn that last year, the fairground’s ATMs actually ran out of cash.

WHEN: Friday, May 11 from 5 to 9 (pre-shopping event) and Saturday, May 12 from 9 to 4; tickets are available online. online ticket sales are sold out; tickets will be available at the event.
