Indy's 1st Boutique on Wheels

Yep... I think it is official.  retro101 is Indy's 1st Boutique on Wheels.  I got to tell ya... when Ellie the Bus was getting converted into a mobile pop-up shop, I often wondered -- are people going to get it?  I hesitated to book a lot of events at first b/c I didn't know how the response was going to be.  Well... I am so excited to say that people do get it and have embracing the concept for the past few weeks. 

I've rolled out to the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace...

It was a fun day that I got to share with my two lil' guys

 After that, I rolled out with 3 food trucks!!  It was great meeting up with Scratch, MacGenie & Scout's for the day.  And look... I even had some visitors (the fab duo, Jamie & Martine).

After conquering downtown, what was the next stop?  If you guessed Castleton United Methodist Church you are the winner!  The crafters were out and about last Saturday -- holla!!

 Now, this pic is just fun!  Who would have thought rollin' up to Bella Chic there would be an impromptu photo shoot?  I guess these random acts of fun happen on the daily up in the HC (Hamilton County) according to my peeps, Julie & Amy, which is just fine by me!  retro101 will be rollin' there quite often... aw yeah!!!

And the last roll out... this past weekend at... yep - you guessed it! Chica Boutiqua up in the BC (Boone County)!!  Zionsville has great shoppers (and local celebs too).  Can't wait to roll out to Z-ville again!!

Clearly, I love Ellie the bus and it shows!  I have a ton of pictures of the outside but haven't captured a lot of photos inside the boutique on wheels (or the featured local artists that sell their wares on the bus).  No worries... I will get those pics and feature those artists soon... until then... keep rollin' old school!!!

Guten Tag!

Highlight of every Fall Season (besides the pumpkin pies at McDonalds… sad, but true) is a good ol’ Oktoberfest! Thanks to Tiffany @ HistoricIndianapolis, she completely hooked me up to roll up to my first real downtown event – the Herron Morton Oktoberfest.  

Good beer... good food (brat burger from the Scratch Truck..mmm...)

and GREAT shoppers!!!  Thanks for all of the love... it was a great day!!

Oh... the best story of the day hands down... Chad (rent-a-hubby... see below)

had one of his dreams come true -- took two girls home in the swagger wagon!  holla!! (well... actually drove them down the street and helped them move the 2 cool barrel chairs they bought... still funny though!)
