My Favorite Remnants of the Past

Saturday was the first day of the June Remnants of the Past show, and there were so many wonderful displays and so many wonderful vendors.  I had to restrain myself from shopping too much. Every booth was well done, and there was lots to see and much I wanted to buy.

There are booths inside and outside.  The white and blue-grey and Frenchy style garden look is going strong at this show.  I always love the look of Atelier de Campagne. This base look is classic, you can’t go wrong, though you can accessorize differently around what they show.

I saw these doors and realized I should paint mine a blue grey instead of white.  My panel of doors did not sell yet, and I am debating marking them down to move or hauling them home.  Two people will be mad at me if I bring them home, but I’m still on the fence about them.  White as they are they match our house in Laguna very well.  Blue grey they are also very attractive. I wanted to buy the smallest confit pot here for Laura, but it was $125 and the guys did not offer any vendor discount.  I will find one in Paris or elsewhere in France for a better price.  Still, the look of these guys is great and they are at the major markets like Rose Bowl and Alameda.

The inside booths were more compact and allowed vendors to create some lovely vignettes; these chandeliers in a corner were really beautiful as a pair, in the corner~

Of all the booths, my favorite was George Garma Antiques and Design {ggarma222@ymail.com}.  I am ready to move right into this space, and at least take a few cues from his design.  Citrus, rustic baskets, shades of green and a kilim-covered ottoman, accepted by peonies… I love it~

In a corner, an interesting chandelier and a French chaise.  The chair I can find in France, the lighting, I loved~

A pair of chairs in a corner, great side chairs.

And throughout the booth, pops of orange, one of my favorite colors and used very well in George’s booth.  I have so much black lacquerware like this, and a stack of NIII trays like underneath the books, I think I might have to add more orange in Beaune.

Interesting paintings, a lot of nude portraits and eclectic art and objects….

The peonies were so great in this urn vase I am going to get some at Trader Joe’s when I get home.

Books, art, layers.  This reminds me of a New York City apartment, with touches of Paris.  Many elements that I have already.

Love the statues and the candlesticks, and more pops of orange to wake up the space.

And then there was this booth, I absolutely loved it!

Oh wait, It’s our own booth.  I’ll show you more pics tomorrow.  It evolved during the day as sales were made.  We are having a great time at this show!!  Sunday afternoon we head home.  I have lots of other vendor information to share with you, and tomorrow I need to get better contact info for George.  He’s in SoCal but I think he just does some shows and design, e.g. no storefront.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend~

  2. Andrea I am so enchanted by all of these wonderful finds, I agree about the orange and how it brightens things up so much. I may go to Trader Joes and see what flowers they have ...there are bunches for 3.99! The black laquerware is beautiful and so are the basket wrapped jars!
