No Trespassing ~ Smalls for Remnants

This is the second post with pics of a vignette I put together for
Remnants of the Past.

A vintage type tray, ruler star, money receipt book, rusty box, insulator.

A close-up.

I have several of these sings.  I love the aged edges.

All of these items will be available at 

Remnants of the Past.

French Bed Reveal

In my last post I shared a Before/After project.

Remember this little French Bed?

A little peek.

A close-up.

Full of pillows, a pretty throw, and a blue and white stripped ticking.

There she is.

Now,

Who will this little bed go home with?

I think she turned out so sweet.

Again, 

Before.

And after.  So much better.

This little French Bed will be available at

Remnants of the Past.

Who will take home this little French Bed?

This is a before and after post.

This sweet little bed came to us like this.

The curvy lines were great but she needed a lot of work.

We pulled out tons of this.

She was also missing a side rail.

Never fear, my handy husband fixed one up to match perfectly!

Cute little legs.

The nasty fabric had to go.

The new side piece ready to be attached.

Here she is with a fresh coat of Antique White paint.

She also needed new strapping.

The strapping all finished, and the paint all distressed.

The full reveal of this makeover will be in my next post.

Sorry.

It is more fun this way.

By the way this little French Bed will be available at 

Remnants of the Past.

Beach Themed Smalls for Remnants

As I said, I will post pics of what will be available at

 Remnants of the Past.

 The next several posts will be vignettes of items that I put together.

Beach Themed Smalls

I love these little tags that say ANTWERPEN.

Pretty vintage bottles in a special carrier.

Shabby white frames and sea shell.

I like how the greens and whites and metal all blend together.

These items will all be available at

Remnants of the Past.

On a side note...

I am sorry, there seems to be a problem with my followers not showing up.  I don't know if it is o.k. on your end or not.  Several new followers say that they are following but I can't find them anywhere.  Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

What we like to do in SLO during ROTP

I thought I would share a few pics of what we like to do in the San Luis Obispo area while we are at 

Remnants of the Past.

This show is the biggest that we do, so I am devoting a lot of blog posts to it.

My husband was born and raised in that area, so we have taken many trips down there to visit friends and family.  Everyone's favorite thing to do is go to the beach.

This is the Pismo pier.

Pretty shell opened up like a butterfly.

I love these old pilings.

The kids enjoying the waves and looking for shells.

Happy to be at the beach.

It is so relaxing there.  If you get the chance, after you have shopped till you drop, take a drive to the beach.  You won't be disappointed.

Oh, also stop in at our favorite fish market, Pier 46 in Templeton.  The best fish and chips ever!

Trying Something New..........

 I want to try something new.

For the next couple of weeks, up until Remnants of the Past, most of my post will be featuring the items that we will have available for sale there.  It will be kind of Miss Mustard Seed style.  Except that my photos will not look as pretty.

In a past post, wondering How Do You All Get So Many Comments, some suggested that I show more pics of what we sell. I feel like I do show you what we sell, but this will be different.  I will be showing you what is GOING to be available.  This takes a little more planning for me because things move so fast around here.  But here goes...

                                                Old Jars

Homemade Soap

More Jars

Little Tin Stars

More pics to come.  I am waiting for them to upload.
