Antique Society in Sebastopol, California
When we used to vacation down in Sebastopol, California from Bainbridge Island WA, visiting the Antique Society was right at the top of my to-do-list. It probably is one of my favorite Antique Stores in the world. This last winter I was able to become a part of the Antique Society by renting a case. My goal is to eventually rent a space so that I can sell Mid Century Modern furniture.
This last weekend I bought this Lucite Mod Lamp~
Mod Lucite Lamp
It's currently at the Antique Society in a space called Bradford Antiques. My mentor friend kindly let me place it in his space since I can't fit anything of this size in my case.
Bradford Antiques
You would love his style. He has a mix of Arts & Crafts, California Pottery, Mid Century Modern and everything lovely in between.
Antique Cast Iron
Lovely Collection of Bits & Bobs
This is another space that I think many of you would adore. This dealer's space is right out of a Country Living magazine. Lots of rusty baskets, mercury glass, Industrial and more. I love how well she's packaged and priced everything. She's definitely an inspiration for those considering having a space in an antique store.
Mid Century Modern Galore
There are a few spaces filled with incredible MCM pieces, lamps and art. I just swoon thinking about it.
Sweet Charming Suitcases
Lamp Envy
Mad Men Glass Collection
Fabulous Lamp
I adore this lamp and think it would go perfectly on my Mod Hi-Fi.
Although I've shared my favorite spaces with you, this Antique Store has everything under the sun. No matter what you collect, are passionate about or perhaps a bit obsessive over, The Antique Society will fulfill your antique/vintage needs.
I got so carried away with taking photos of other spaces that I completely forgot to photograph my case. If you do pop in there, simply ask for the Apron case and they'll point in the right direction. You'll recognize quite a few things from this blog and don't forget to check out my vintage fabric collection.
Antique Society - open Monday through Sunday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. 2661 Gravenstein Hwy South, Sebastopol, California.

Last year when I was in the area for the Gran Fondo I wanted to make it out to Sebastopol but couldn't. I certainly wish I would have after seeing your lovely photos!

De saker jag har sett i termer av bärbar dator är att det finns specs som SDRAM, DDR eller något annat, måste som matchar upp funktionerna i moderkortet. Om PC moderkortet är mycket aktuellt och det finns inget operativsystem frågor modernisera minnesutrymmet tar bokstavligen under en timme eller så. Det är en av många enklaste typer PC Upgrade av förfaranden kan man tänka på. Tack för att sprida dina idéer.

Teen huomioon kaikki ideat olet esitteli viestisi. Ne ovat todella vakuuttavia ja voivat varmasti tehdä. Silti viestit ovat liian lyhyitä alkajaisiksi. Voi Voisitko laajentaa niitä hieman ensi kerran? Kiitos postitse.
