Ron and I are living our retirement dream — dividing our time between the rural/natural setting of Grants Pass, Oregon and the small island community of Alameda, California.

We stay active by selling antiques and vintage-inspired artwork at flea markets, street faires and specialty shows in California.

The purpose of this information blog is to provide upcoming show dates and photo previews for our customers. We promise: no personal ramblings, no pictures of our adorable grandchildren, no recipes ... just merchandise we've gathered for our next show.

Thanks for stopping by,
         —Marilyn

    I thought I’d squeeze in one more post before the big day tomorrow –the fabulous ALAMEDA POINT ANTIQUES FAIRE!  

    Ron and I will be in our usual corner space (C-6) with some really fun things, including the following:

    We took a couple of hours off this morning to go see Alice in Wonderland — Johnny Depp never ceases to amaze me!   Then it was back to work and here are some more completed projects for ALAMEDA POINT THIS SUNDAY:

    I know it must seem like a slow process from your end but as the countdown continues, lots of things are nearing completion and will be posted in the next day or two!  Marilyn

    Tuesday — second post in a row!  Today’s is a spring theme and on that thought, keep your fingers crossed for a dry Sunday.

    I painted several pieces today so let’s hope it dries fast so I can post again tomorrow!

    More pictures – let’s see how many consecutive days I can post before Alameda happens on Sunday.  Today is garden day — do you like all the cement?  This will be fun!

    This is a mini-post — just to stay in touch.  We got back to California last night and brought back LOTS to work on down here in warmer weather.  That means I’ll be posting up to the last minute before ALAMEDA POINT ANTIQUES FAIRE on Sunday, MARCH 7th!  (What’s new?) 

    Here are a couple of pictures of some great ironwork panels (were part of a very heavy, incredible fence.)  The other photos are commercial bread molds I picked up in Ashland last week.

    Stay tuned!  Marilyn

    Aren’t the Winter Olympics exciting?  I’m wearing my knit skull cap as I watch and pretending I’m there!  Ron refuses to turn down the heat though for some mood weather.   And yes, I’m working between events. 

     Here are more pictures:
