big fat thank you

I really want to thank all of you all who made their way out to little Bragg Creek, and come visit me at my little place in the woods.

 Friday was a blast!  A little wine, a little junk, all mixed together on  one of the last summer nights of 2014.

 The beautiful models showed up, to show off the vintage sari's.  and we're not sari!  for the pun, 

ha ha!

 some retro guy stuff

 kitschy kitchen goodness

the doors are open 

 LOVE your new necklace Cat!

 Mozart is looking good.

 The fashion was flying out da' door.

 Gold and gold is good.

 Come on in.

 Cash desk, showing off the domes, cloches, bell jars made by MOI.

 Grecian goodness

My lifelong thermos collection was up for grabs.

So, again, I appreciate you all who were able to come out, and you who couldn't make it.  Keep in mind the next sale I'm showing at is "The Christmas Market, hosted by Vintage with Flair"  November 8th, 2014.  Me and G are working on a whole new concept, so stay tuned!

junk haul, tofino in july

the fam jam spent a lovely few weeks on the stunning west coast of vancouver island, b.c.  we rented a house on chesterman beach, and it was the bestest.  tofino is a small coastal town at the very end of the trans canada highway.  there wasn't much for junking there, unless you count excellent beach combing

 which i do!

there was one little curiosity shop called "vargas treasures".  it was a trip!  it's owned and operated by a sweet, wee french gypsy.  sandra vargas has led quite the life, her father was a well known costume designer in montreal, she was a magicians assistant.  a real character!  her shop is tiny and packed to the brim, everything beautifully displayed, and her jewelry showcases are to die for!  the thing was, as you walked in, there is no lights, really.  she doesn't turn the lights on for whatever reason.  but she cheerily hands you your own flashlight.  hilarious.  me and g had our noses pressed against the showcases for so long, sandra finally said, my hip is too sore to bend over, why don't you help yourself!  so g, played store and carefully pulled stuff out for me and the other customers, what a hoot. needless to say we both scooped up a few things, and went back later in our trip for more.

me and g's "tripawd" riley,  getting crabbies and shells and feathers

my head's still there...sigh
