In full swing of fall!

The countdown is on!  Mementos does holidays in a BIG way this time of year!  Several fall shows (not to mention the Room With A Past openings!) down, and the biggest one of the year next week.  The Country Collective at the Alamo (CA) Women’s Club is one you do NOT want to miss!  Showtime is Thursday night October 20th through Saturday the 22nd at 3pm.  All handcrafted holiday gifts and décor for every taste.  As if that isn’t enough, the gals in the kitchen spend 3 days making homemade pies, they bake them there during the show.  YUM-O!!!

A hint of the Mementos halloween table…

But don’t sit too long…there is a lot more to see!  The Room With a Past OUTDOOR sale was this weekend, wow was there a lot of great stuff to buy!  Some really amazing furniture bargains, home décor and holiday items too.  The chair you see was one of the first things to FLY out the door – it was gone as soon as we opened!  A little more of my stuff

Next stop…Paris!!!

Mementos is travelling all the way to France this month!  Well almost.  We are doing a travel theme at Room With a Past.  My space is stuffed with all kinds of fabulous items for home décor and gift giving.

Some of what you’ll find…

A FABULOUS window. “Paris Marche Aux Puces…Jewelry, Feathers, Flowers”… (a one-of-a-kind custom piece by Mementos!  This vintage window is B.I.G.)
