Guess What?

I'm packing my bags and getting ready to leave in the morning and I'm so excited.
Can you guess by the photos below where I will be going?




Okay, I'll tell you....I will be going to the Remnants of the Past antique show once again.  This show is held in Nipomo, Ca twice a year in an enchanting barn in the middle of orange groves.  Judy Watkins, who organizes it, selectively invites all of the vendors and donates a portion of the proceeds to ovarian cancer research.  All of the vendors do such an extraordinary job of presentation so my camera will be with me at all times....along with my change purse....I robbed my piggy bank for this one.
And if that wasn't enough, I will then be traveling on with my good friend, Riki, to Alameda in the San Francisco Bay Area as we get in place to put our running shoes on the first thing Sunday morning to "shop til we drop" at the Alameda Antique Faire.  Alameda has hundreds of vendors and I try to see everyone...wish I had a pair of shoes like the kids have with the drop down roller blades in the sole.  I get so enthralled with the quest that it is hard to stop to even eat. 
Yes, a great weekend indeed.  I just love, love, love hunting for treasures, and being with friends.
I'll be sure to share my loot upon my return.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
