She’s soooo sweet!

A sweet princess bridal shower cake for a sweet princess!  My adorable niece Sabrina, wearing the tiara her favorite auntie (me!) gave her.   Lovely shower thrown by an amazing hostess.  A perfect day for the bride!  (and the cake – that doll really is standing in a cake – was FABULOUS!!!)

Here comes the BRIDE!!!  The wedding is in a couple of weeks…on the cliffs in Laguna Beach!

A Bridal Shower…

for my adorable niece Sabrina!!!  A hint at the theme of the shower -

A fairy princess that lives near the beach, needs a starfish wand and sandcastle at her party!  shhh…don’t tell her…we designed 'thank-you’ cards, candy wrappers and lots of other fun things for her special day.  More pics soon!
The new year has brought many wonderful things to Mementos, custom orders for everything from shower favors to programs, badges and thank you gifts for a large Scout training event, and something fun for a gal named Daisy!
Room With a Past is open next week…you won’t believe your eyes, it will be spectacular!!!  LOTS of fabulous new home décor, gifts and of course Valentines Day goodies!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Wish

My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.

A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day,
Full of bright expectancies.

I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.

By Joanna Fuchs

Have a Happy New year!!!

Merry Christmas to all…

From our home to yours…we hope you had a Merry Christmas.  Ours was spent with family and friends, in my hometown of Anaheim (CA!).  Where ever your holidays were spent, may they have been everything you hoped for.

Peace on Earth!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Spending time with family in friends in Orange County! A few of the festive things we saw on our shopping trip in Old Towne Orange. Always colorful outside Victoria Co:

FABULOUS vintage finds!

Have a Merry Christmas EVE!

It looked a lot like Christmas!!!

The December opening of the Paris Flea Market opening was to.die.for.  Spectacular from top to bottom.  It was glitz and glam, sparkles and snowflakes, a winter wonderland indeed!  A few of the highlights…

Stationery, tags, cards and gifts by Mementos (there was hardly anything left in this cabinet at the end of the sale!)

GORGEOUS handcrafted journals, altered bottles, velvet hearts, and much more from the very talented Sharon:

Vintage Christmas from Julie, the ‘Queen of Rustica’:

And the always lovely room of special finds from DebiO, the QUEEN of beautiful things!!

Much of what you see isn’t there anymore because it went home with happy customers!  That gives us fleas a feel-good feeling, one because we LOVE to sell our wares, but also because we REALLY LOVE to SHOP!  And the more we sell, the more we get to SHOP!

We’ll be open after the first of the year with more amazing home décor, beautiful things to keep or give and, as always, lots of one of a kind items.

Happy holidays!
