Well, if the answer is YES, then stop by and check out the wonderful collections of Christmas décor that is throughout our store.
From fuzzy faced Santas…
…to ornaments…
…and nutcrackers…
and a whole lot more! Our holiday shop is open in full swing.
The vendors are putting out their wares….so please stop by and see what all the buzz is about.
Oh dear! Pass the word along, our last outdoor flea market
WILL NOT TAKE PLACE
on Saturday, Nov. 1st. The weather man states there will be rain – and though that is a good thing as we need it – we will miss our vendors and friends who always stop by.
HOWEVER!
Do mark your calendar for November 15th as this will be our Holiday Open House. Food and beverages will be served to our customers and the store will be full of holiday décor to pick from. Magpie Antiques, in Ripon, will be having their Holiday Open House the same day.
Hope to see you then!
Christmas is certainly on our heels and our Christmas shop is now officially open! Danny is working hard at bringing in wonderful Christmas décor and the store is looking so pretty and festive!
Don’t forget, our parking lot sale (weather permitting) will be on Saturday, November 1st from 8 AM to 3 PM.
See you then!
Today’s stroll takes us in and out of different spaces to catch glimpses of just a sampling of Fall décor. Along the way we meet Cliff and Becky Lee, both longtime vendors at our shop. So come along a little virtual stroll to see what I see…and there’s a WHOLE lot MORE! We would LOVE to see YOU, so pop on in sometime and say HELLO!
Happy Fall! This morning sure feels like fall outside with cooler temps and a nice cloud coverage overhead. Something to smile about, for sure!
The store looks festive with pops of orange and black here and there. I will share more of that in the next post. Until then, HAPPY FALL!!
One of my favorite things to do is to walk around the store and look in to see if there are new items from the vendors.
And, as always, they seem to find those new treasures and fill them into their spaces. Sweet dolls, tea cups and saucers…
….a really cute metal desk that is painted white….
…a super cool clipper ship….
….a Coca-Cola sign….
..a vintage gravel truck….
…and a rusty old doll house….
…a fun flour sack with a cow…
…and a sign that says to Follow Your Bliss. Does that mean to buy everything I LOVE? If only my
pocket book could support buying EVERYthing that I like. But that is ok….have to leave stuff for others.
LOL.
Hello and good morning! Today’s post is all about vintage textiles. Our store has so many lovely vintage linens to choose from.
Above is a rack full of freshly laundered and aprons – a part of a woman’s wardrobe back in the ‘50’s. Nowadays these sweet and charming pieces are used as décor in homes and oftentimes fashioned into a simple window valance.
Below is just a sampling of the hankies available. They aren’t just to dab a face anymore…they are used for making quilts, bed skirts, curtains, pillows and clothing.
Below is another apron with the cutest floral check fabric.
If you like vintage textiles, then you will be a happy camper sorting through the stacks of them that many vendors have in their spaces.
There are also vintage fabrics from feed sacks to barkcloth.
Lots of adorable crochet doilies and pot holders, as shown below.
Beautiful framed samplers and scattered here and there that provide sweet sentiments of friendship….
…and some sport a simple ABC and 1,2,3.
Flour sack towels with images of dogs, cats and chickens are folded in with vintage floral motif towels.
Beautiful packaged pillowcases with crochet and embroidery. Each one has been laundered and pressed and are ready to use.
Beautiful neutrals with European linens mixed in with filigree lace tablecloths.
A sample of pillows made with hankies and tablecloths.
So, as you can see, we have A LOT of vintage linens. If you collect them, then you will want to come in a see all of the lovely pieces that have been hand selected by many of our vendors.
As a note, our store was not affected by the earthquake that hit Napa County on Sunday. We are 100 miles from the epicenter. Our thoughts are with those who were affected by the earthquake.
