Vendors and their spaces @ Remnants of the Past~Part 2

Pin It
This is part two of some of the vendors that were at the Remnants show.
Again I was not able to get everyone's photo, just a few.  I hope you enjoy!



Stephani from Ruby Rose brought her adorable little trailer to the show.


They are a local business in the San Luis Obispo area.



The first day there was a book signing by Brooke and Steve Giannetti from Velvet and Linen.  Their book Patina Style is beautiful.  I am enjoying mine.

The second day another book signing took place by Susan Branch.  The line was clear to the door!



Yes, Cindy from Queen of Tarte was there.



Kymberley from A Beautiful Mess had a large space in the front as you walked in the door.



These ladies were our neighbors, Tina and Karen Chambers were across from us.  Victoria had a space inside.  Marilyn Thompson was right beside us.  They all sell at A Beautiful Mess.



Lulu of Dusty Lu Interiors in front of our space.  A very nice lady and talented photographer.



I love this pic of Judy and her daughter Devon.



Here is one of Judy and I in our space.
We are honored to have been a part of such a talented group of vendors. 
Stay tuned for a few more pics of the show!

We had a great time and look forward to the next one!

Vendors and their spaces @ Remnants of the Past~Part 1

Pin It
This post is going to be dedicated to some of the vendors that were at the Remnants show.  I did not have a chance to take a pic of everyone, here are just a few.


This Katy and Collette's space of The Rusty Clover.  Two talented ladies from our own Sacramento area.


I thought that the little fire place screen curtains were cute.





Martin, Trinidad, Johan, a very talented team.



My good friend Sandy Bryan from The Olive and Rose.


I love these pillows!



Tim and Lisa from Blue Canoe Reloaded.



Kathee and Charley from Chateau et Jardin.



I took this photo in the Junk Girls space.





We love Kate and her family.

This is the end of Part 1.  Part 2 will be posted tomorrow.  I hope you enjoyed the pics.  It always helps me to put a face to a name.

The Vintage Bricoleur @ Remnants of the Past Fall 2011

Pin It
We are home now after a whirlwind weekend. 
 The Remnants of the Past show at the Modonna Inn Expo Center was a great time of selling, seeing old friends, meeting new ones, a lot of hard work, good memories and the list goes on.

I have so many photos to share, but I want to start with showing you some from our space.  We had three spaces outside under a big white tent.  We loved the open air market feel.
 On to the pictures.
The truck and trailer are unloaded. Now what do we do with all this stuff!

Our space ready to go.


This is how it looked the second morning.  It is hard to tell, but a lot of stuff is gone.


The pretty handmade soaps that my daughter makes.



The crew, Danny, Terry, Angela, Don, Coralie.
 (Missing Melanie, Don's wife, who worked all day Friday helping us set up.  She was home taking care of three adorable little boys.)


This solar water fountain was a hit.  The little cabinet sold first thing.


Lots of frames, mirors, antlers, metal and a sheet music wreath.


A farm table set for two.



The letters sold just before opening, to another vendor.


We had a light hanging through our make-shift ceiling.  Wire and lace.


Fun little bottles with initials


Moments before the show opened, the line waiting to get in.  If you have seen a layout of the show, then you will know that it was a LONG line.


Another shot looking through our space.


I think this one is my favorite.



I love a little touch of green.


Make way for Ducklings!


A little French table and chair set, salvage architectural and old windows.


These letters were fun.  I also love those boxes full of old Pharmacy papers.


Awesome French doors, sound pieces from a pipe organ, and a beautiful mirror that went home with
We want to say thanks to Judy and her family for putting on such an incredible show.

These are just some of my favorite pics of our space.  Be watching for more about the show.

Thanks for looking!

Using Vintage for Baby Shower

Pin It
A while back I had the privilege to help decorate for a friend's baby shower.

We gathered keepsakes that we had, and put them together. 
These baby shoes were my Mom's once upon a time.


These little Kewpie dolls belong to my Mother-in-law.


They are so cute!


I love the different expressions.


This vintage child's bike belonged to my husband's uncle.


I have a collection of these Eloise Wilkin Golden Books. 
 Baby Dear is one of my favorites.


Child's cup, spoon and fork.


A pretty christening gown on a vintage hanger.


We can't forget the delicious desserts!
  Ice cream sodas in a vintage milk bottle tote.


Take your pick of four different kinds of Cheesecake, displayed on my milk glass cake plate.

We didn't spend a dime on decorations, we used what we had and it turned out so cute! 
I love using vintage.
