Remnants of the Past…Part 1

 Hi everyone!!!

This past weekend my family and I spent some time in San Luis Obispo.

Judy Watkins, family, staff and vendors held a flea market event Remnants of the Past that was OVER the top,

AMAZING!!!

Rated number 1 in the U.S ., and I can see why!

I was so excited to photograph the fun and share it with you. I was like a kid in a candy store.

I took a lot of  photographs. This was a two day event, so I decided to split this post in two.

Let’s meet some of my favorite vendors.

The grounds where picturesque! I shot this image of the sun rising for a perfect day.

It was held in the Expo event center at the Madonna Inn. My son loved the room we stayed in,

it was a cowboy themed room and his imagination ran wild.

This was what I saw when I first walked in!

My mouth dropped open when I saw Kimberley Fraser of A Beautiful Mess booth. Very creative.

There was so much to see! Over 100 vendors.

(WARNING: I use, stunning, gorgeous, amazing, love, so, and many more of my favorite words over and over, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. LOL)

It was a fall  themed event, and the vendor’s went all out!

Here is a close up of A Beautiful Mess, booth. I love the old wine barrels and pumpkins.

The structure was huge.

The vignettes were set up with attention to detail, and so there was so much inspiration.

Yes, I went home with a few finds myself.

Doesn’t this look like large barrels of wheat?

Truly STUNNING.

 

Here is a snap shot of Victoria Stoehrs booth.

WOW, this women sets up beautiful vignettes and is

very creative. Everyone worked so hard on their displays.

 

I found some gorgeous jewelry, from A Beautiful Mess.

These pillows are from Erik and Daniel of Euro Linens.

They are a beautiful couple that work very hard on their products, and are always smiling.

Here is a close-up of my favorite pillow.

Some French letters.

You all know how much I love old books wrapped in twine.

This is one of my favorite booths. I love the chippy white

shutters, and candelabras.

I ordered of few of these pumpkins from A Beautiful Mess. I can’t wait to show

you what I do with them.

Isn’t this stunning???

Any ideas of what you could do with this???

This booth is Ormolu. Deborah has such a creative imagination. I will have more

images of her one-of-a-kind booth in day two.

 

 

First prize big anyone???

I don’t know what this is,but it looks hand made and so unique.

More lovely jewelry from Victoria Stoehr. Check out her website.

Isn’t this a clever way to display French transfer ware? My favorite.

Another one of my favorite booths, I love the religious relics and all the chippy white

and gray furniture.

The bottles  and chandelier’s are to die for. I want one of these little homes that hold

the religious figurines in.

…that is all for now folks,

to be continued….

Have a wonderful day!
