Things to do Around Mes Amis- Roseville

Pin It We are so excited to have Mes Amis here and upon us but I wanted to share things to do while you are in town..so many people ask so I thought I would suggest other places to visit within walking distance so you can take advantage of your time here. Available for you will be this map that shows our Show and local restaurants, businesses, even Rosevilles newest Antique Store, Bloom Vintage Findings owned by show vendor Tina Wade!  Her shop will open at 9am for you!

There are plenty of ATM Machines in walking distance during the show, great places for lunch (including Rosevilles newest restaurant Sammys Rocking Island and Grill), 2H Bunz and Company (sports bar), The Place  (really good italian) and of course, just stay at the show and have food from our vendor Shady Coffee and Tea.  In addition, there are other shops, my favorite Nice Twice and a great floral/gift shop Bartletts! 

Hope this helps your day here with us! Make sure you stop by the trailer and say hi!  (and pick up a flyer).  See you at the show!

Best,

Our Spring Wisteria Tree

Pin It

This spring seemed to approach so quickly. I am not one who wishes one season away with the hopes of another so I was really surprised when Spring officially sprung upon me a couple of weeks ago.

Around here, spring is usually evident by the blooms around the house. At my home, the strongest evidence is our wisteria tree. When we moved into our home 10 years ago, we inherited this tree. Our house was built in 1942 though I am not sure when the wisteria was originally planted. What I do know is that at some point, Mr. Morales (the original home builder and seller of the home) had to create a post and hoop to support the blooms.

I love its effect. And the tree blooms several times per year. My daughter Faith, from The Dainty Adventures, took these shots last week. I hope your spring is blooming well so far! Best, Sandy

Happy Belated Bday Eva!

Miss Gabor would have celebrated her birthday on February 11th

I will always remember Eva Gabor as the witty and glamourous Lisa Douglas, wife of Oliver, on Green Acres. Before there the Real Housewives of Pick-A-City, "Lisa" had no problem digging and living the dream on their farm - always dressed her best, classy to the strangers that came to her door, and helping her mate who shared overwhelming enthusiasm and passion for their lives in the country! I loved how she dug in always looking so pulled together - those of us who are junkers know its not possible to keep mud off of your boots, or dirt from your finger nails - but there is nothing like a rhinestone brooch or flip of the collar that makes you feel extra-pretty in the process!

I hope you think of "Lisa" when you are off on your next junking journey!

 

Rest In Peace Eva: 1919-1995

 

Clay + Craft = Creativity for Valentines Day

Pin It

During the show season breaks, its been fun making time for workshops for myself (the photography workshop) and more importantly and even funner, with friends. Tina Haller from My Favorite Things (Nevada City) made a return trip and developed a clay craft for Valentines Day.  This time we had a eight friends join us here at the house.

At the workshops, Tina brings all the supplies, ovens and tons of great images and embellishments (you can bring your own of course).  Everyone has their own purpose for taking the class.  For example, Sassy was planning on making a handmade wedding gift.  Myrna had a spot that need a finishing touch in her newly remodeled master suite.

 Corky and Rebecca are here getting direction from Tina.

Mark made a great spread for us to take a break with.  This time we had his Marco Polo pasta, green salad and white wine.  His chocolate chip cupcakes were a big hit too!!!

After lunch break, we got back to work.  It was really fun getting inspired by what others were doing.  I love how Teri and Sassy are here concentrating so much.

 

Here is Yoli with her finished craft and our awesome teach, Tina.

Here is another creative friend Myrna with her heart.  She brought a long string of vintage crystals to add to hers for extra sparkle.

Our finished products!  At the workshop, Sassy said how she collected and loved crowns.  We all decided our next workshop will be a paper crown workshop sometime in the Spring!  Tina will start working on something for us to announce so be on the lookout as space is limited.

In the meantime, don't forget to mark you calendars for the first show of 2013
