Day 4 in Paris and it just keeps getting better.  I was at a flea market this morning and it was flea market heaven.  Things that I have always wanted were availableeverywhere.
What a treat!  And all this on a Tuesday....who knew.

We are in Paris.....day 3.  Brocante today in a part of Paris I have never seen.  Found some great things.  The weather is fabulous and the food even better.  Can't wait to have my feet be pain free,  too much walking.  So more flea markets and more French food is on the agenda for tomorrow.

Getting excited about Uber Chic European container sale????

Well, l can definately tell you that I am......those boys won't know what hit 'em.  I really think that most of you who read my blog will be here and make sure you invite 100 friends each.:))

But not only am i hosting  Uber Chic in May but I begin the first of a Summer full of 1st Sunday Vintage Flea Markets, too.  May 5 is tne first one and i hope to hzve up to 25 dealers selling their treasures right here at my shop.  The parking lot will, hopefully, be abuzz with activity and smiling faces.  I am jurying all the prospective dealers so know that this will be a SUPER great flea market.  Don't miss them  May thru September, 1st Sunday of each month.

We Had A Sneek Peek Of Spring....

I guess we got alittle spoiled with the nice weather we had for a couple of days.  It really got me thinking about Spring and all that comes with it.  My son and sister both have their birthdays on March 20.  This is a constant reminder to me that good things are just down the path and that I shouldn't get too discouraged when the weather throws us a grey day like today.

There are lots of great things happening at my shop, too.  First Sunday Vintage Flea Markets begin of May 5.  Each month there will be a sale in my parking lot with up to 20 hand picked dealers of vintage merchandise.  The hours are 10 to 3 and I am hoping that everyone come out to support this endeavor as I am trying to bring alittle excitement to Vancouver.  Stay tuned here for all updates on who is going to be participating in these markets, as well as, the Uber Chic container sale happening in May on the 24the and 25th.

Viva la France

My tickets are purchased and the apartment is rented.....off to France I go.

Yes, my friends, I am going to Paris on April 19the and will be doing lots and lots of shopping for trinkets and tresures to bring home.  Not only will I be shopping for me personally but also for my shop.

Let's see now, what could I possibly do with all these items once they are here with me?  Have a brocante, of course.  A little flea market sale at the shop for all my friends and customers who follow my blog and Facebook page.

So keep visiting them both for updates, etc. as to when the brocante will happen.

Also, the Uber Chic container sale is on May 24 and 25.  We have not settled on the time of this sale but that, too will be posted here and on Fabcebook.

My Cottage Vintage Home Store

Any of you recognize this place?  This is my shop, Cottage Vintage Home.  We are located in Vancouver, Wa. just on the other side of the Reserve from downtown.

Why locate somewhere other than the downtown area, you ask?  Well, look at this building.  How cute is this.  Granted the color scheme is not "shabby chic" but what the heck.  The street appeal is great, the parking lot, huge and I love the way it looks inside.

When I decided to open Cottage Vintage Home, the downtown area didn't have any spaces that would be "cute" enough for my shop.  I didn't want a strip mall scenario nor did I want to be just filling another space among offices, etc.  I wanted to have something different.  Thus, this house.

Located in the Hudson's Bay neighborhood, this house has been many different types of business' over the past 10 years but never a retail store.  So if you have ever driven thru this neighborhood and have been curious about what's going on inside, please stop on in and have a browse around the shop.
Our address is 2819 East Evergreen Blvd. and we would love to see you.  Hours are 11 to 5 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Friday and Saturday, 10 to 5. 

I will be taking part in 1 vintage show per month so the store will be closed 1 weekend per month unless otherwise posted.  Please check back on my blog or Facebook to see which weekend that will be but even if you the shop isn't open you can find me at the show selling my treasures.  You can always call me, too, at (360) 721-9980.

Hope to see you all soon at the Cottage Vintage Home store.
