People Watching at The Alameda Pointe

The Alameda Pointe Antiques and Collectibles Fair ~ February

Since I decided to take my own photos of The Alameda  Pointe this month I waited a bit before posting my friend, Steven Small's photos.  I was happy to see that the subject of many of his photos were..


"The People and Faces of The Pointe".

I spy Terri too! Bring on the sunshine of Sunday's of yore! It's freezing out here today! My favorite spot in the whole world is where Alameda Pointe is located. The best view of San Francisco from anywhere in the the east or north bay-area.

La D - So jealous whenever you post about Alameda! Wish we had a flea market nearby even 1/2 this good. Thanks for your blog visit -- wanted to let you know more about Post & Gray. It's a home decor 'warehouse' (some say mecca) with leased spaces. Each dealer fills theirs with new / vintage / antique pieces of their choosing. The space pictured was mine, and it's where I sell the things I love most (so much fun.)

People watching is great, so many interesting characters. Who are they, where they come from, what's the story behind their style...

How fun! I've read so much about this market. One day soon I'll get up there. Is it wrong to organize a trip to San Francisco around a flea market? Hope not!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I can't remember if I thanked you via email or not. If not, please uxcuse my bad manners. If so, thanks again!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
