This past weekend I was delighted to be a vendor at the Spring Nesting show at The Vintage Marketplace located at the Oaks Park in Rainbow, CA. I showcased my items together with more than 60 other vendors selling vintage and antique treasures, inspired garden goodies, lace and ruffled items, shabby chic yumminess and the most creative repurposed items.

Infused with the scent of lavender, the theme of my booth was Flora and Fauna, with Flora being on the right side under the white canopy and fauna was on the left side with my vintage 1968 Scotsman trailer, Fiona.

Inspired by Spring, adorable birds, speckled eggs and organic nests I got to work early this year, pinning images to Pinterest and taking notes in my journal. My friend, Julie Weller, and I took a buying trip up to the Bay Area in February and brought back some of the treasures that you’ll see in these photos. I still have some items set aside that will be for sale at a later date and I can’t wait to show those to you!

These are some pictures from the Flora side of my booth. Enjoy!

Thank you for stopping by my blog! I’ll be posting more photos soon, featuring the Fauna side of my booth.

I recently attended a wonderful creative event called Winter Wonderland Affaire hosted by Kim Caldwell. It was held at the magical Disneyland Hotel and what a soiree it was! We started off our weekend by getting on a plush shuttle and being driven to the Vintage Marketplace in Rainbow, California. We perused the treasures there and then headed for our next stop, Matilda’s Mouse, a fabulous antique destination located in an historic barn on the Betty Crocker Estate.

From there we headed back up to the Disneyland Hotel for a pajama Tea Party, and started on our first preparations for the Chalet we were making.

On Saturday, we did some more work on our beautiful lace chalets, but one of the highlights of all of Kim’s events is the swaps. I joined the Victorian inspired Ornament Swap and the other ladies ornaments were so incredible.

The girls in the swap include:

Angela Howard
Cheri
Cheryl Stoneham
Deborah
Denise Hahn
Julie Weller
Kim Caldwell
Mariasela Vallejo
Marsi Bennett
Sylvia Estrada
Tashia Jacques
Terry Frias

Take a look through this gallery to see all of the unique ideas that they came up with!

Last weekend I took a trip down to Rainbow, CA to see all of the whimsical pretties and baubles at The Vintage Marketplace, presented by Rita Reade and Christie Repasy. This fabulous shopping experience takes place in “The Oaks”, a beautiful country park located between Fallbrook and Temecula. It’s so much fun to browse the vendor booths, enjoying the great selection of vintage and handmade goods, and visiting with friends.

Take a look at the pictures to get an idea of how amazing this shopping venue is! There will be wonderful vendors setting up booths full of swoon-worthy and dreamy treasures.
