I love shopping thru your eyes. We were going to go today, but plans changed, but will go next month if we can. I am looking for a couple of things for my family room re-do! xo Kathysue
Thanks for giving me my monthly dosage of eye candy. Loved the oval photo frames of the gal and would have been going through that box of ormolu. Liked the black chair with the dolphins. Did you get it? What was in those square cardboard boxes on the table?
I was there yesterday by myself. I must admit it's nicer to go alone, then you can keep your own pace. I just opened an ebay shop so I was just browsing to get a sense a what's selling and prices. But I managed to get an Arabia of Finland jam jar in perfect shape for $5!! Into the shop it goes. The last time I was there my friend bought me a pretty tray for $25. As it turns out it's a Metlox California pottery worth about $250. So, I guess there are still bargains to be had. Take care Terri, hope to see you soon. Mona
Beautiful goodies. I'd like to have some of that French ticking! I'm having some made into pillows for the shop now. Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for the tour! Barbara
Dear Terri, I so look forward to seeing your finds at the markets. Brimfield...how do you decide what to take home? Did you get the fab chair? I have a button story to tell you one day soon.
I said to Ernie on the way-I wonder if they could have gone to the Flea??? YEP! Good for you-how could you not. That chair! Did it go home with you? Thank you for your photos!

Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue! This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests. You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years! The Living Room with windows on two sides is typical of the Spanish Revival style. My uncle is also a treasure hunter, it runs in the family! I...
We haven't had a summer vacation yet but all it took for me to get inspired to do a little upgrade to our summer room or as my hubby calls it, his mancave, which is actually our garage, was this little number... It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner. It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75. They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
