What has The Vintage Bricoleur been up too?

Oh My!

It has been sooo long. Over a month, and I'm sorry.

Actually, you might not even care or have noticed that I've been quiet.

But... 

For my customers who stalk  I mean follow me, I know they like to see what is new around here.

So, Here we go.

Back in the beginning of February I was doing some picking for the store and the upcoming shows and found this little half table.  Guess what?  It's perfect for me and it won't be going to the next show.  I'll share more on that later.

We had another great show at The Sacramento Antique Faire the second Sunday in February.

This cute desk is still available.  

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® - Old Ochre with Clear & Dark Wax.

We celebrated my father-in-law's 70th Birthday. 

 You can barely see is name tag. It says "Daddy".

We painted lots of furniture with our favorite paint. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®. -Antibes with Clear & Dark Wax and a bit of Gilding. 

 Tutorial to come!

We had an awesome show at The Alameda Antique Faire the first Sunday in March.  It had been 6 months since we had been there.  It was good to see many old customers.

The following Sunday we were back at The Sacramento Antique Faire.

The day after that we had out-of-state family here for a week.  What a great time we had.  I had such a blast showing them around and I even got to spend a couple days working in the store with one of my sisters.  Thank you all for coming out to visit.

Needless to say, I have neglected this blog.  I have many photos ready to share. A few tutorials and some before and after shots from our projects.

More of the TVB Anniversary

This has been such a busy month!  

With the One Year Anniversary, The Sacramento Antique Faire, busy days at the store as people prepare for the holiday and meeting Miss Mustard Seed in person.  

All in the first 10 days of the month!

But...

First things first, I want to share the rest of the photos from the Anniversary Celebration.

Our T-shirts are now available in the store. 

 Are you a bricoleur?  You might need one of these.

The front of our little store, people in-and-out all weekend long.

This is just a sampling of what we had available over the Anniversary weekend.  Many of the items here have found new homes.
