Remnants of the Past Antique Show

I love Antiques, so it's only natural that I love Antique Shows, right? I wanted to share a few images of the Remnants of the Past Antique Show with you. It's held in San Louis Obispo, California, at the base of the Madonna Mountain. The weather couldn't have been finer, sun, slight breeze, California at its best!

Right up front, this gorgeous booth, above. Beautiful. Everything we all adore....making it so difficult not to spend all my allotted money right away. See the velvet pumpkins? The antique bottles, the antique balls of linen, the bistro chairs, table, French pottery, it's difficult to walk away when literally everything is calling your name. {note to self, bring earmuffs next time to drown out fantastic antiques calling you!}

Judy Watkins, the creative genius behind this show, pulled out all the stops by gathering the most wonderful, creative sellers. The sellers really spent so much time putting together their booths to showcase all their gorgeous pieces to the best advantage. Each and every booth was beyond stunning, a joy to look at. And enticing.

This vendor of antique Silver had a stunning display....I did purchase a few pieces here of Victorian Mother of Pearl silverware to add to my own collection. And was sorely tempted to buy a few more sterling tea pots for at home. Luckily {??} I have run out of storage room for those.

A wonderful display of antique ironstone caught my eye...you can never have enough of these, for display, and for using. They literally last forever, hence the name "iron" stone.

Like this one, above, what a great display! Love how this seller placed an antique zinc bathtub behind the figure.

It was such a great experience. I bought a few pieces for myself {once in a while, a treat is called for, don't you think?} and met so many sweet, kind people! Many of you turned out to be customers of FrenchGardenHouse ~ and it was great to meet and talk with you! I loved meeting all of you, thank you for introducing yourself. To cap it off, we had dinner at one of San Louis Obispo's finest restaurants with the advertising executive of Romantic Homes Magazine, and we had so much fun, we were there for hours talking and laughing ... the perfect ending to the perfect day.
