Little French Flea Market

As I have said before fall has always been my favorite time of the year... I make homemade soups, chicken and dumplings and I bake and bake and bake:) Cozier comforters come out of the closet, hot chocolate and fires in the fireplace, I feel as if I am feathering my little nest for the foggy cooler nights to come.

This is just a peek of my booth at The Little French Flea Market in Tarzana Ca. The day started out very wet and cold... but by the end of the day the sun was finally out... Thank goodness!!! This event was held at the Tarzana Cultural Center which is a lovely little park in the middle of the hustle and bustle of this little city in the valley and is actually named after Tarzan from the old movies. This was the first Little French Flea Market held here.

I met so many lovely vendors and customers:) My booth was looking a little bare at this point... I found many new homes for the sweet little treasures I had. Though it was a very long day it was a lot of fun... Oh and of coarse I had to buy some new treasures for my little nest:)

Thanks for stopping by....

Sweet Nature

I went out to my garden to take a picture of my garden and all of a sudden I heard the

humming of a Hummingbird. I hope you all can see the refection of the Hummingbird on my bird feeder.

It was a perfect split second, after I took the picture the Hummingbird came right up to me as to say did

you get the picture?? It is one of those moments that do not always come along when you have a camera:)

Today has been very cool and overcast with an occasional sprinkle.... Not good at all for all the painting

I have to do before next Saturday!!!! It is so damp out I might have to start painting my sweet little

treasures in the family room..... Its coming down to crunch time for the The Little French Flea Market!!

Last Saturday it was so hot that it was too hot to paint!!! Such odd weather for my sweet little town

by the seashore!!

Thanks for dropping by and spending a little time with me:)

Cheers for now

Fall

Fall has arrived here...Well at least our fall as it is here in Ventura....

I have been passing this mailbox for 3 years now as I drive home from Lake Casitas where I row

and I finally remembered to bring my camera to take a picture:)

I love the color of the mailbox well what is left of the color:) It reminds me of Robin egg blue.

I have been very busy getting ready for The Little French Flea Market. It is on Saturday October 23rd in Tarzana Ca. I am so excited to be part of this show!!! I need some days that are not as wet as we have been having and just a little sun so I can finish all the painting... I found some REALLY sweet items..

I am still working on my online store, it will be very very soon!!!

Cheers for now:)

September Ending

Well tomorrow is the last day of September... This is our little Maxie and his great granddaddy, my dad Lenny. As I said before September and October are usually great beach months... Though this year the last few days have been unusually hot!!! The last few days we have gone down for an evening walk and the two of them stopped to count the sun setting:) (something my dad would do with me when I was a little girl)

I just love love this moment between the 2 of them.... soooo sweet

I sold at the Ventura Flea Market on Sunday, I meant to bring my camera but forget:( I guess it did not really matter because I was crazy busy selling!!! I was with my 2 friends, Karine and Lenola we had a blast!!! I was hoping to take pictures for my online store but sold everything... I am not complaining at all:)  Now I have to go shop some more:) Bigger news for me was I got asked to sell at the Little French Market Flea Market in Tarzana the endof October... Which is super exciting for me!!!! I will keep all posted.....

Cheers for now

Sweet Pink

I think Pink Milk Glass is beautiful!!! Though it is hard to find ever once in a while you will come across a piece. My dear friend Karine seems to find it better than me, which really works out well for me since she only collects the white milk glass and she gives me all the pink she finds!!! Lucky me:) Oh and by the way I love love pink everything... The large pink bowl I found downtown Ventura and probably paid too much for it but I loved the uniqueness of it and it was in perfect condition no clips or cracks!!! The roses are from my David Austin rose bushes, what I love about them is that the roses look like a Peony, another favorite flower

of mine.

Things have finally settled down with my son just getting out of the hospital. I am FINALLY finishing my online store. It is taking forever but I had to get my credit card system tied into the one I have now and blah blah blah... it is just taking forever, but it will be up and running this week they (credit card company) promised me...

it is a beautiful day...finally a blue sky and the sun is nice and warm, I think my little Maxie and I will go explore the beach today and see what wonderful treasures we can find:)

Cheers for now

Sweet Sweet Peas

One of my most favorite flower is the Sweet Pea, the colors, the scent .... are just so perfect!!! These will be the last of the season, I had found an old seed pack and just threw them out and was very pleased when I saw them blooming... and surprised since we have had a very cool summer.  My sweet little grandson Maxie was so thrilled when we found the flowers.. He has helped grow some very large zucchinis and his pumpkin's are coming along very nicely!! When the pumkins were still very small we scratched his name on them and as the pumkin grows so does  his name, he is actually very amazed by this:)

My little blue knobby glass pitcher is perfect for a few of the Sweet Pea's, they brighten up a room. And of coarse I have my sweet little birds... Which by the way if you didn't know it I love love little birds and SPARKLES!!! I found this huge jar of German glass glitter and I am parting with some of it. I found these darling salt and pepper shakers and I thought what could be more perfect for my glitter!!!

The 17th of September is just a few days away and I am working hard to get my online shop up and running!!!

Cheers for now

My youngest son who is working for the Forest Department as a fireman was injuried and had have to emergency surgery. A week later he has been released from the hospital no worse for the wear:) He is doing well, it just has put me back a few days... But not to worry by September 17th I will be up and running.....

My daughter, Sarah and I went to the Rose Bowl Flea Market today which is in Pasadena California. There are over 2,500 vendors,there is something for everyone!! We found some very sweet treasures and along

  the way we met some very nice people:) It was a great day..
