My Salvaged Treasures: Mes Amis Antique Show

It was a fun-filled day on Saturday for the Mes Amis Antique Show in Roseville thanks to Sandy from The Olive and Rose. The weather was gorgeous and there was a steady stream of happy shoppers all day. Once again, I was so busy and never had time to come up for air until late in the day. I miss not being able to get out to visit other vendors, but being busy is a good thing!

It's always a treat to have plenty of room to spread out.

This is my Adjust-O-Matic friend I bought a few months ago. I just can't seem to part with her, so I'll be using her for display. She has a stand, but I thought it would be a bad idea to use it outside; don't want her hitting the pavement after a gust of wind.

My S & H Green Stamp necklaces were a big hit. I'll be listing some of these in my Etsy shop as soon as I can get some decent pictures. I'm having the hardest time photographing the convex glass.

A few of my treasures.....

....and more treasures. It was so nice to see my blogging friends again.
Marsha from Sassy Mini Dolls and

Courtney from French Country Cottage. I wish I had more time to visit with both of you.

This is Sandy's 1963 Shasta trailer. She did a fabulous job decorating the inside with beautiful vintage goodies.

Sandy and Annette set up shop right in front of the trailer.

A big THANK YOU to Sandy, her family, and her friends for making this show a huge success!

Gayle Page-Robak said...: Wonderful selection of treasures displayed here. Love your mannequins! Thank you for sharing. The weather looks great at the outdoor displays...we spent a day at a huge "Junk Fest" last week while we were away on vacation. It was in a small town in the US (I am Canadian)...but the weather was so cold that it was not as enjoyable as it should have been.; September 22, 2011 at 9:08 PM
