Good day everyone! Charley and I had an amazing weekend with good friends, great customers, and wonderful vendors at the Remnants of the Past Fall Show. Held at the beautiful Alex Madonna Expo Center in San Luis Obispo, Ca. Words can't say how amazing the vendors were at the show this time each brought their best merchandise ! There was so much eye candy~ over 100 beautiful booths. Judy Watkins and ROTP have been named number 1 Romantic Flea Market in the U. S. by Romantic Homes Magazine. It is truly and honor to be a part of this show!
Charley spent the last 2 months building the most amazing structure for our booth~even down to hand rusting the galvanized roof! It took us 5 hours to put up the structure alone. Even the sign, Charley made for me~with custom stenciling! I'm so lucky to have such a talented husband!!
The beautiful French basket lights were made by Charley also! They were so dramatic and really made my booth stand out.
European Shutters with the original hardware, French woven Demi John bottles, French grain sack linens, French green water jugs and seltzer bottles, all displayed on two of my favorite pieces from a recent buying trip to Oregon and Washington.
Another one of my favorite vignettes ever~ this iron fleur de lis marble top table with iron skeleton frame, dress form, madonna, and lady bust~
We definitely had a variety of merchandise~saved for ROTP~The Chicken feeder a RARE find and the pharmacy sign.
I love this scale on the left, an old farmers market vegetable scale from Budapest! That gorgeous finial is from an Estate in Hancock Park and the Howe Scale on the right is another find from Oregon!
I have so many more photos to show you....just need to organize them ....so I will bring you more as soon as I can!
Thank you again Judy Watkins, your amazing staff, the worker bee's that helped me load and unload....I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing show!

Dustin and I have been so busy lately, we have been neglecting to blog! I have so many post to share with you this week. First I wanted to start with our space at The Agoura Antique Mart. We felt it needed some sprucing up so, one thing led to another and we ended up redoing the entire space. Hard work, but so rewarding! We went with a garden theme this time, especially since the weather has been so gorgeous! We have brought in some new pieces including a birdbath that is over 60 years old and has that beautiful mossy patina. I found a gorgeous French iron bench while at my horse show in Oregon. Luckily I had a friend who was able to stick it in her horse trailer so I could buy it and bring it home :) thanks Judy! There is also a "to die for" bird cage! Ahhhh and one of Dustin's new French basket lights...another "to die for" piece!! (click on the pictures to enlarge)
Ohhh I forgot to mention..some really cool garden statuary and iron topiaries...see the cute Dalmation in the bottom right corner? This has turned out to be one of my fav booths! Come visit us!
Just wanted to mention to all you Jeanne d' Arc fans...I have the new 5th edition in the store as well...hurry they go fast!
I will be receiving the 6th edition the first week of August. There are still a few copies left of the 5th edition at The Agoura Antique Mart.

Dustin and I just returned from The Alameda Flea Market (Antiques by the Bay). It was a beautiful day, warm, but so pretty! I wanted to share with you some pictures I was able to snap in the heat of the morning. It was so busy we were putting sold tags on things as fast as we could. A favorite of our customers seems to be the succulents that we brought. Two weeks ago at the roll over Alameda, we brought 4 of these succulents (called Calandrinia Grandaflora) for display purposes. The customers went wild over them and we ended up selling them. We promised to bring more to the July 3rd show. We managed to squeeze 14 into the trailer and van, and by 7:30am they were all sold out!
