The 2012 Show List-Revised

Courtesy of Pinterest

As I continue to perform a balancing act, of sorts, thru the many decisions I have to make concerning my 2012 plans for Brocanteur Vintage things have taken on a new perspective.  First of all, as of March 1 my large booth at Camas will be gone.  I will still be selling my scrabble tile pendants and the occasional French things, in the small wall space that I have by the register.  But if you want my larger pieces you will have to go to Monticello for those.

This was a VERY difficult decision for me but one that I had to make due to only being able to do so many things at once.  Something had to give and, unfortunately, Camas was it.

What seems to be screaming out to me is that I am going to do what feels right to me.  There are many great shows and I wish I could do them all but I have to pick the ones that are a good fit with my style.

So with that in mind, I have committed to the following shows for 2012:

Portland Expo      March 2 and 3
Barn House         July
Camas Vintage Faire   August 25
 Portland Expo       Oct. 27 and  28
Junk Salvation       Nov. 2 and 3

There is the list and I have probably taken on much more than I can handle but what the heck.  There are still shows like Plucky Maidens that I also want to do but we will have to see.  So please stop by and see us if you happen to be at one of them and don't forget that I am at Monticello also.

Happy shopping..............................

Glorious, Glorious Windmill

Glorious Windmill

Here is a photo of the windmill that I have for sale.  It is 10.8 feet wide and weighs approx. 175 pounds, probably alittle more.  This would be a great wall piece in a loft or huge home.  I have it on Craigslist presently but will be in Monticello by the end of this week.  Come see it.

Great Big White Fabulousness

For those of you who have seen some of my larger pieces in the past, here is yet another one that is sure to please.

This baby has 28 drawers and a slanted work surface. Great for photographers or paper crafts....just about anything where working standing up is required. Open shelf unit on top.

Its origins are in the Eugene area where many of the University of Oregon spaces are being remodeled. This came from one of the working motorpools or something like that because it has gaskets outlined in some of the larger drawers. Each of the 18 small drawers are all divided into compartments that can be made larger or smaller. Great for someone's studio.

I will be taking this monster out to Monticello on Thursday during dealer night so if you are interested in taking a close look at it please stop by.

Thanks and have a great week.

Monticello Christmas 2011

Christmas is coming to Monticello Antiques and I have been getting ready at a frenzy pace.

Monticello Antiques is one of the best places to go and be surrounded with inspiration. Lots of pretty sparkles and glitter everywhere you turn. Things you probably never thought of come to life with a quriky vintage twist to it. What could be better than that.

So plan to make a trip to Monticello Antiques. I will be switching out my booth to look like Christmas in the next week and there will be things that you'll want to see, I promise.

Industrial Piece.....Dentist Table

Hello all. This piece is one that I have owned for a few years. It is an old dentist cart that is metal with a drawer in the bottom. It is on wheels and is easily moved around. I purchased it from Gregg who use to own Gregg's in Portland in the Hawthorn district. It has been a super nice industrial cart and now I am going to put it up for sale in Monticello. I have not taken it out yet but wanted to give you a sneek peek at it.

If you have any questions about it please give me an email or a call, 360 721-9980.

New Booth Setup and Ready To Sell

As requested, I have posted here a few photos of my new little booth in Monticello Antiques Marketplace. I tried really hard to fit everything into this space and think I did a pretty good job, under the circumstances.

The Fall show ended yesterday and we torn down our structure in the salvage garden of the store and brought whatever we could to the new booth space. We had so much other stuff, as well, to add that it filled it up rather nicely.

So, don't forget to look me up whenever you are in Monticello, as well as, Camas Antiques.

I look forward to seeing you.......
