RITA READE "MAMMABELLARTE"

HOST OF THE VINTAGE MARKETPLACE AT THE OAKS IN RAINBOW, CALIFORNIA
WOODWORKER AND SOLDERING TEACHER.

Apr 21, 2010


Have a sit, enjoy while we visit
"The Tattered House"
owned by Sandy and Erika

The Antique Market was just out side their store and I don't know how these ladies do it!
55 vendors...and not just any vendors. I was so happy to sell and shop at the same time. I found a skirt for Bella (dress form), this trip really did a number on her.

Christie and Colette at work the Saturday before the show




hydrangeas are hanging to dry....


I love anything done with silverware, amazing work



Colette and Katy have their own spaces at The Tattered House too and I love how they work on every little detail. I wish I was that patient.






Getting ready now for my next adventure....."Urban Barn" here I come.

Ciao Rita

    What a great bed and that flower sign and the small worn table. Goodies galore! What fun. Hope you'll stop by and take our house tour. -- Jane F.
