Happy Thanksgiving

 

Make Room for the holidays!

If there is one thing we do well at Room With a Past, it is the holidays!  The shop is packed to the chandelier laden ceiling with the most amazing holiday décor, gifts and furnishings.  Around every corner there is something special to see…

There is room…

 

 

After room…

After ROOM

Of beautiful holiday color, everywhere you look!  There really is something for everyone on your shopping list, and fabulous home décor too!

See you at the ROOM!

A little holiday break…

(I wish!)  While my head and hands are busy creating for holiday shows and Room With a Past openings, my heart is here:

I took this picture in May of 1987, just a few days before I moved back to the mainland from Hawaii.  I’m lucky to say I lived there, in paradise, for four wonderful years.  I studied Hawaiian History (ok, accounting too!) at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, and worked at KITV, the ABC ‘affiliate’ in Honolulu.  Fab.U.Las!  Most amazing experience ever!!! 

Hawaii is one of those places that, once you have been there, you’ll never forget it.  It stays with you.  It’s in my heart and on my mind all the time.  Living there gave me such joy, and I took so much away with me…in memories, and knowledge, and a love for the people and the culture there.  I still listen to Hawaiian music frequently, and think of the islands often.  It’s my ‘go to’ happy place when I need to escape from life for a little while!  Just a few notes of a favorite Hawaiian tune and I’m laying on the beach…in the warm sun…listening to the waves.

Aloha!

Happy Halloween!

Hope your day was BOO-TIFUL!

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…

Spooky stuff!  More soon, back the the dungeon to get more done!

Come Sit For a Spell…

 

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…

Oh and that adorable little white chair with the sheet music fabric on it?  GONE TOO!  In the first hour!  On to a new home to be enjoyed…

Have a great week!
