A Steal!!

     It's not considered stealing if you get it from the dump....or is it??!!

     Here is a look see at some of the fun things Colette and I found while hunting around the other day.  Some of it was so great that we felt criminal!!!!  Wish I had video of our get away!  Most of these things will make it to Alameada on Sun June 6th.  So if you're there stop on by and say Hi.

      Really, this much fun should be illegal!!!!                      be lucky   ~Katy

...Way too long...

Sorry I have not written much lately.  A lot has happened since Valentine's Day... St. Pats, Easter, Mother's day............. The Tattered House Antique market in April, Remnants of the Past (ROTP) show in Nipomo, trip to SoCal in March, and lot's of shopping in Berkeley, Alameda, and Auburn. All this while I am trying to paint my house and kitchen cabinets.

           The ROTP show was awesome.  Such a beautiful venue.  The dealers were fantastic! Colette, Sandy, Erica and I even met Sue Whitney from Junk Market Style!  So inspiring.  Thank you to Judy and Judy for your wonderful hospitality,  we were so honored to be invited as a a vendor at the show.  A special thanks go to Colette's parents who also came down and were a huge help.  On our way back home, Colette's husband, Randy, had an awesome dinner waiting for us.  Since Colette and I were so busy, Sandy and Erika did all the picture taking. Check out the Tattered House blog for some great pics of the show.  The Tattered girls           ( Sandy and Erica)  have been such great mentors and  friends. Cant say enough about how much they mean to me!  Thanks girls!
  Meanwhile, here are some random shots of past events.

This Sunday, I will be in Auburn for the Antique Street Fair from 8am to 4pm.  I will be in spot 72 which is near the brewpub ( where is my empty starbucks cup) and where I have been for last years Spring and Fall shows.  Come on by and say hello...


Besides for Auburn, other shows on the horizon are Alameda in June.  Colette from the Waiting Room and I will likely be sharing a space on Row J near Erika and Sandy of the Tattered House.

Happy Valentines Day!

Great Day at February Alameda Show

What a beautiful day in Alameda! The shopping and weather were perfect.  A much needed break after this soggy January! It really was a boost for my

   We saw many friends, The Tattered House Girls, Erica and Sandy   thetatteredhouse.com

 
Collete from The Waiting Room , Clinton From Brown Dog Cottage browndogcottage.blogspot.com, Jacque and James from oldsoulstudios.blogspot.com and met many more.  Even some dealers from Korea!

 

Very sweet! And even if it doesn't seem like it by the photo.  They did some serious shopping here!

Bloggers always seem to have a cute name for thier husbands.  But I am just going to call mine Will.  He is always so supportive of my wild adventures!  Thank you Will!!! ( LYVM!) We always seem to have a great time at Alameda!  Always a party! Always something! 

Hope to see you all there!  Next time March 7th.                    Be lucky!     ~Katy     

Getting Ready for the Alameda Antique Market

I have been busy the past few days getting ready to show my stuff at Alameda tomorrow.  I am a little nervous as I will have my own spot, J18, which is a few spaces down from Erika and Sandy of the Tattered House http://thetatteredhouse.com/.   Come visit as the weather is supposed to be nice.  Here are some things that I will have in my booth.

A new step

I am taking a new step. Not a simple step.  More like a leap of faith. I am very fortunate to have a small area at the Tattered House. It is more than the cute little Turquoise bungalow on Oak St in old roseville.  But inside it creates a beautiful spot for all to get inspired to live simply. A friendly smile greets you and with a hot cup of tea, take some time to stroll around the shop so you can all relax and enjoy the place!  So back to my jump.  I am taking a whole room!!!  I am hoping that I can step up to the high bar, and step over!  Sandy, Erica, & Collette make it such a pleasant place to be!

From here

To here.  Please check it out when my new room is all done at the Tattered House

celebrate!

Lets celebrate new times to wipe our slates clean and start over!

My quests for the new year are: the gift of sight! (something I did ask santa for!); the gift of organization;  and finally the commitment to my family and friends! and this may be just answering my cell phone!

so with a quick promise to myself  of love. kindness and integrity.  I say to you.

Lets all celebrate the gift of this new year with new hopes for a greater tomorrow..............be lucky, Katy
