Long Beach Flea...

 Yesterday was a beautiful day for the flea market.  I went to Long Beach flea and found some wonderful goodies!  It was very very busy so it was a little harder to take pictures but I seemed to manage.  Here is a little peek at what I saw and purchased.

 

 Always a pleasure to see Trino and the boys from Atelier de Campagne!

 

Remnants of the Past 2012

 

I was excited to visit the show this year, we have not been to the last few shows and I wanted to see everyone.   My first stop as always was to see the boys at Atelier de Campagne.  Their booth was full of beautiful pieces as always.  Things were moving quickly so we stopped for a quick picture and then it was on with the show. 

Next stop- Junk Style design.  I have never seen them before and I fell for their style. It was a great mix of vintage pieces and one of my favorites vintage luggage.

 They also had some great bird cages, I almost caved and bought one but decided I should wait until things were finished here at home!

I loved that so many vendors used beautiful natural pieces in their displays, we saw so many nests and feathers mixed in with the pumpkins.

I love loved the display of vintage dress forms from The Seed Box antiques I have been searching for just the right one for my office and have not found her yet. 

Another amazing display from Kimberlee Edgar of Edgar and Edgar.  Oh my goodness it was all black and cream, it was really beautiful.  I wish I had taken more photos of her booth, it was full of people so it was a little hard and when I went back it was closed up for the night.  She did a really beautiful job.

We had a great time at the show as always I wish I was able to take more time and talk with everyone about their style, maybe during the next show.  I will have more inspiring booths for you in tomorrows post though.

 

Remnants of the Past weekend..

 

I am excited to say that we have skipped town for the weekend to enjoy a little girl time.  I will be staying in the Central Coast this weekend and attending the Remnants of the Past show.  So excited to see some good friends and hopefully meet some new ones.

Wishing you a wonderful Saturday!

Finished up..

 

I wanted to show you a little update on my vintage sofa.  I picked it up a little while back but have not had a chance to take a full picture of it.  I love it- I went with the dark grey linen and added vintage wheels to bring it up a little bit for the room.  I love love it!

What do you think?  Have you had much success with reupholtsering vintage pieces?

 

 

Rose Bowl Flea Market...

We took a quick morning trip to the flea market on Sunday.  Always a good time!  I was excited to see some new faces and of course some good friends.  I fell in love with these vintage postal bags- so amazing!  He had a few left you can catch him here if you are interested... (U.S. Vintage Leather 562 400 6680)

  I love love these bags too with the linen outfit- yes please!  Brothers of Industry always a favorite!

Always a favorite- the vintage lines.. I resisted this time but only because I have so many that we are making up into pillows for everyone.

The Rusty Bucket was a new find for me- their display was really amazing and I picked up some great vintage frames for a little personal project  that I am working on.  I believe that their shop is located in Camarillo, Ca. 

 

I stopped by A Life of Vintage's booth early in the morning.. She had some really great pieces, love the dress forms and she had this huge antler that I loved.  It was nice to chat with her too as I found out that she reads the blog. (Fun!)  You can fine Sandee at Heather Fields Home and Garden in Westlake Village, Ca.  

 

 

There were 3 of these beauties... I waited to see the vendor but she was out so I had to move on- aren't they so lovely!

How about you did you hit the flea market this past weekend?  Did you get anything good?  I would love to know.
