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 buying, restoring and selling antiques. Our shop space is located in the Antique Society in Sebastopol, California.

The purpose of this blog is to provide information regarding special events, promotions and sales. 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

    Antique Society Booths Reloaded

    May 17, 2012 at 4:04 pm

    All done . . .  just in time for Sunday’s Parking Lot Sale!  Here are a few more pictures:

    Some Antique Society dealers will offer special sales in conjunction with Sunday’s Parking Lot Sale (not everyone though.)  Both our booths will offer a 20% discount on items over $20 for one day only (Sunday 5/20.)

    Ron and I enjoyed a little outing today to the little town of Occidental.  We had lunch at the Howard Station Cafe and recommend it if you come to Sebastopol.  We drove there via winding, redwood-lined Occidental Road and returned via equally scenic Graton Road.  We had lunch in Graton yesterday at Willow Wood Market Cafe and it was excellent too.  There is a sweet little antique collective in Graton called Mr. Ryder’s that you could visit as well.

    We’re heading home to Grants Pass in the morning to start the hunting/gathering all over again!  Marilyn

    You’re Not Going to Believe This

    May 10, 2012 at 9:45 pm

    Back to Alameda Hospital again — this time with Ron.  A small stroke.  Let’s see: broken hand, appendectomy, stroke.  That makes 3 so we’re done with emergencies for awhile!!  Ron is doing great (only a little residual word-finding issues) and he’s coming home tomorrow.  What a week . . .

    I got some price tags done at the hospital though and the plan is still on to work on the Antique Society spaces next Wednesday/Thursday before heading back to Oregon.  Will stay in touch, Marilyn




    News Bulletin

    May 8, 2012 at 12:14 pm

    THE GOOD NEWS IS:  I was able to drop off one vanload of fresh merchandise at the Antique Society on Wednesday that Super Hero Helper Pete placed in the booths for me.

    THE BAD NEWS IS:  I then returned to Alameda Hospital for an emergency appendectomy and have not been able to return to the Society since.

    BUT . . . I am recuperating quickly and plan to return to Sebastopol next week with another load and to do a complete makeover of the spaces.  To expedite things, Ron and I will stay at a local hotel there for a couple of days and then head back to Oregon after restocking the spaces.  I promise to take pictures and post them when it’s all done!
