May We Tempt You...?

Remnants of the Past..... 

We wanted to give you a glimpse of some of the beauties that we will be bringing with us to Remnants of the Past this Saturday April 30th. Come and see them in person.

This morning, Johan, Martin and I will be busy loading up the items we have selected to offer at this much anticipated event. We had put aside some of our best merchandise especially for this show and are looking forward to seeing you there. 

Even though it's hard work to gather and load up everything for an event, we relish the moments of the planning stage. Thinking about the way we'll display the merchandise, selecting props, and planning each detail can be fun. 

We know that when Johan is with us, our space will look phenomenal because he definitely has a knack for merchandising. I't's that "Je ne sais quoi!"  As we load up, he's telling us of his plan, "...I'm going to place these large urns on top of the trestle table, with some buxus, and then..."
 Although I'm used to planning the display with Martin's help, when Johan's here, we definitely become his assistants and defer to him when it comes to aesthetics. Step aside Axel Vervoordt!

We hope to see many of you there.  Stop by, say hello and if you are not yet on our mailing list, click here take a minute to add your information to our list so that we may keep you informed of our events and other fun stuff.  You may also do this by sending us an email to our infoatelier@gmail.com account with a simple, "Add my name to your mailing list!" and perhaps a list of things of interest to you.

Au Revoir Mes Amis!

REMNANTS of the PAST April 30, 2011

We are delighted to announce that we will finally be participating in the wonderful event, Remnants of the Past Vintage Show. For a few years, Judy Watkins from Well... La De Da Productions had been inviting us to participate but somehow the dates had not worked for us.  Then last Fall, when I thought I could do it I called to reserve a space and they had ran out of them and alas we couldn't be part of it.  Some time in the Winter, I got a call from Judy letting me know she had space available in the Spring, so we jumped on it. Remnants of the Past has become a Central Coast destiny for designers, antique collectors, home decor aficionados and folk who generally have a love for items of the past.

Over the years Judy has selected an ensemble of dedicated merchants who together create a beautiful environment of sheer enjoyment and delightful shopping. ROTP is a bi-annual event that takes place once in the Spring and once in the Fall. Attendees from the past wait with much anticipation for the next one. ROTP was just featured in Country Living magazine and Judy has been tirelessly promoting it so it promises to be THE event of the Spring in the Central Coast. Some of you may have never heard of Nipomo, but Remnants of the Past is definitely putting it on the map.

The backdrop for this event is an idyllic setting, which is the Dana-Powers Property. It's country, it's homey, it's sublime! It is so "farmy" some of the booths are inside a barn! You can make it a mini-vacation and head to the beach afterward or visit the scenic and historic area. It's a skip, hop, and a jump from San Luis Obispo and next door to Pismo Beach. Bring lots of energy and a BIG truck 'cause you are going to want to shop!

You'll also be glad to know that a portion of the proceeds from the entrance fees will go to Habitat for Humanity.

Look for us in spaces 4 & 5.
