That is the name of the awesome antique show/sale in Nipomo California. I spent the day there today, and it's always amazing. The photos don't do it justice. These are just some of the scenes outdoors. There is a whole giant inside the barn part too. It's pretty dark and crowded inside, so no photos of that.
Everyone brings their best, prettiest, unique, and expensive stuff. There are many designers shopping, as well as us ladies who love to shop. There are a few men shopping as well. What are we shopping for? Well, there is something for everyone. Things to decorate with, things to collect, even plants, flowers, and sweet treats.
Sue Whitney was there the founder of Junkmarket. She had her book for sale, and of course I bought one for her to sign. It's all about finding junk, and what to do with great flea market junk, and junk in general once you get it home. Later in the afternoon she was holding a class on making a fairy garden. I did not stay for that, as we had a very long drive home. I have to say it was worth getting up extra early, and driving for over 2 hours. Even if you didn't buy anything, just to get some decorating ideas was worth it.
I got to visit with Heather Bullard. If you haven't been to her blog or website, you should check it out. I saw a few other flea market friends as well.
I bought a couple of fun things I will show soon on a future post. I'm waiting til after the flea market tomorrow.
This show happens in April and October. You might remember me talking about it last fall. Anyway, I have to go and rest up, as it's another early morning tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy a tiny glimpse of the show.
Have a great weekend.
Chat again soon.
Love,
Rosemary

Hi Rosemary,
Definitely my kind of fun too . . its so easy to spend at these events, and then to get home and decorate with all the new stuff. Can't wait to see what you bought . . have fun!
Looks such a facinating place to visit! I'm sure I'd find too many things I'd like. Looking forward to seeing what treasures you found.
Oh gosh.....I love it all Rosemary. You are in heaven! OH! I got my seam binding in the mail yesterday! 100 yards for 7.95$? Can't beat it with a stick!!!
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING DEAR ONE! Anita
Thank you Rosemary for writing such a nice post about Remnants. I appreciated all the people that drove so far to see what these amazing vendors. Thank you again!
Oh dear, I was dreaming about going there until I got to the "expensive" part!!! lol that's just how it is unless a person is very lucky. Junk dealers have gotten very savvy about what ladies want and they won't budge on those prices much!!!
Pretty lemons on that tree, it's just loaded!
I do remember you went there before, and braved the barn part AND got some great stuff!
Okaayyy!
I am loving your blog site, I really love the photo of the reflection of the tumble weed in the mirror.

Thanks for coming by dearest Rosemary! Hey, have you ever embellished a dress form with your magic? I need some advice on a dress form....Anita
What a beautiful locale filled with beautiful stuff!

Anne
Oh! What a fabulous day it looks like you had! The view, the items - what fun! wish I could have joined you alas - too far away, Jennifer peek in sometime! jennsthreegraces
Wow, what a treasure trove of interesting stuff!
It looks like so many treasures to discover Rosemary. I'd love to go some day. Hope you're not too busy! Take care, Martha
Thanks for taking us along, Rosemary. What beautiful countryside as well. I think sometimes we take it for granted living in California and when seen in photos, realize the backdrop is just as lovely (if not lovelier) than all the items. Not to say I don't want to grab everything shown here and take it home! Really worth the two hour drive, wish I could have gone along with!

What a great show. I spied a few things I would have had a hard time leaving behind. You did really well and adore everything you bought.
Those baskets are fantastic...I guess you can look at it as 32 for both:))
