Summer Lovin'

WE just had a ball at the water park with some of our family.
 

I thought I would share a few pictures of our
 tanned and smiling faces.
 


There is nothing like family and cool water to make
 a perfect summer day!
 

 
What do you like to do on a HOT summer's day?

Truckee Local Antique Show

This weekend is the 40th Annual Truckee Antiques Show. I go every weekend I am in town. It is close, fun and it benefits our high school Booster's Club. I will share a few
of the vendors I enjoy and the treats I bought.
 

The above vendor is www.antiquesandmoresancarlos.com. She has glass ware, doilies and more!
I enjoyed her milk glass but the pic turned out blurry, darn it :)
 
 
Glen from www.serendipityshows.com does a beautiful job restoring wooden pieces,
like boxes, crates and the cool cranberry scoop on the top right. 
 
 
I am a sucker for old linens and bought a few hankies from
 Dianne at Laces and Graces (310)780-4701. 
 
 
Don't you just love the rich colors vintage of Bakelite? Pamela Lee, "The Bakelite Lady", 
of San Francisco has an awesome display. You can reach her at (415)282-7642.
 
 
My favorite booth was Corry's from Once More Around. Her email is antque1plus@gmail.com.
She and her friend had a great selection from the 40s and 50s...just my thing!
I bought this vintage wicker writing table from them and the floral sprig.
 
 
 
I picked up a few hankies, a new embroidered towel and an ornament...love!
Wishing you a fun time at your local antique or flea. If you live
in Truckee, this one continues today and tomorrow.
Please share a find that you love.
