Alameda Antiques Faire

The Simple Proof | Alameda Antiques Fair

The Alameda Antiques Faire is an institution in the Bay Area.  I was thrilled to get to go last Sunday.  It was a gorgeous nearly 80 degree day in San Francisco, can you see the fantastic view of the San Francisco skyline Trans America building to the Bay Bridge.  Awesome.  I spent the morning with one of my favorite people, I saw all kinds of crazy stuff AND I got to come home with these:

There truly is something for everyone here.  And all kinds of things you’d never believe too.

Vintage and re-purposed textiles.  From French linens + grain sacks to burlap + re-purposed pendeltons, the textiles were fantastic.
