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

    While in San Francisco having lunch today (doesn’t that sound cool?) Ron and I decided to visit friends Coco and her brother Fred of Grenouille at 340 Bryant Street (415) 495-6490.  The warehouse is full of their incredible French finds (a new container just arrived.)  They also exhibit at Alameda Point — Space A-16.   Here are some pictures we took at the warehouse:

    It is so great to get back to California!  Winter allergies (mold) made my stay in Oregon less than optimal — back just a few days in Alameda, my eyes are looking almost normal.  So, no more excuses.  Time to get back to work. 

    Here are some more Alameda preview pictures:

              hpim4101.JPG               hpim4104.JPG

    I still can’t believe it but somehow this month, we’ve added more than 300 items to bring to Alameda Point!!!  Which means I’ll be posting lots more pictures . . .  Marilyn

    At last — a posting.  I know . . .  but hey, it’s hard to take pictures in the rain!  Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it dries out in time for the Alameda Antiques Faire on February 7th.   Meanwhile, here are pictures of some of the BIGGER things we’re bringing:

              hpim4066.JPG               hpim4045.JPG

              hpim4060.JPG               hpim4064.JPG

    I’ll post pictures of some of the SMALLER things we’re bringing in a couple of days!

    First, in case you were out of town for the holiday weekend and missed Alameda Point last Sunday, Ron and I will be selling at the ALEMANY ANTIQUE FLEA MARKET this SUNDAY, JANUARY 10th.  Alemany is smaller than Alameda but happens every Sunday.  It is located at 100 Alemany Boulevard in San Francisco (where 101 and 280 converge.)  We have never sold there before and are excited to try it.  We will be on the BACK ROW IN SPACE B10.

    And now, it’s a new year and a new beginning with our first January post!  Here are some things processed and packed for the February Alameda Point Antiques Faire:

    Maybe we’ll see you in San Francisco Sunday!  Marilyn
