Shopping the Rose Bowl Flea Market

A lot of people have asked us if we have have shopped the Rose Bowl. Here is a re-post of Val's adventure at The Rose Bowl Flea Market.

I have wanted to visit the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, California, since our sweet friend, Ki of Junk Market Style, told us about how fabulous it is. This was confirmed by another friend, so when my DH said that he wanted to visit Santa Anita, I whipped out a map and said "Only if it is the weekend of Rose Bowl Flea Market, and you will let me take two empty suitcases!" A Red Shed Girl never misses an opportunity to SHOP!

Point me towards Paris

Usually the hardest part of making a window sign, is the prep of scraping, taping, prepping and repainting an old window. When I find one in "not too bad shape" it makes me say "Yes!!" It can make a project like this, go just a little faster.
I found this great old cabinet front. Perfect wavy glass. Beautiful molding.

White Slipcovered Sofa and other Dirty Little Secrets

I love, love, love slipcovered furniture. They look so great in the magazines, but is reality as great as the fantasy? I have a white slipcoved denim couch (below) in my kitchen (yes, kitchen). I have pets so I am SO THANKFUL that I can wash it. The slip, however being denim, it is VERY heavy, and I usually have to take it to the laundry mat (sp?) to use the industrial machines, and it can still take up to 4 hours to wash and dry all the pieces. I usually only do it twice a year unless there is emergency spillage (yes, I am talking red koolaid). Then I normally, 1. Scream at the perpetrator 2. Rip off the cover, 3. Throw it in the bathtub with a lot of hot water and bleach, 4. Step on it with my feet like I am squishing grapes to make wine, then 5. Figure out how to get it from the tub to the dryer.

The Gardens at The French Market

Fabulous French finds spill into the Gardens of the Red Shed during our French Market. The welcomed Spring rains have turned our gardens into a green paradise!

The Harvest Table at The French Market

This table has a story. We had it tarped during the ferocious thunderstorms prior to the sale. The next day, we found the tarp had leaked and the heat had bubbled all the paint on the table! Dear friend and Red Shed contributer, Gayle Christensen, ran home to get her belt sander. Our tears turned to laughter as we loved the sanded look!

Wall of Portrait Paintings at The French Market

Michele found this stash of portrait paintings at an estate sale a few months ago. We are great sleuths and we tracked down the artist who had won tons of awards. She had many French themed portraits (We love the little French artist in the bottom right corner!) and lots of shoes and clothing from Paris...
