A VINTAGE FLEA MARKET at our home in West Haven

a vintage flea market this coming THURSDAY 8:00 a.m. in West Haven.
*just west a few miles from the 21st street freeway exit, west of Ogden.

Tons of vintage collectables, projects to finish, stuff for projects you can think of, holiday odds and ends from the shop, small pieces of furniture, linens, junk jewelry, glassware.

again...most is vintage and most will be priced 1-5.00

I will post address on blog on Tuesday.
check back for more details.

oh, the shop is closed until September 5th. Also we are doing the sale on THURSDAY...so you can enjoy your 4 day labor day weekend.

There is always Flea-ology in Payson on Saturday to shop...35 dealers.

Mine will be fun too.
You may want to continue up North to the fruit stands in willard, have lunch and a milk shake, buy some peaches and corn.

The harvest season is so awesome, enjoy it while you can!

This flea market is at our home...there is a large driveway, bring your friends!

I will try to have my workroom opened...it's always fun to see a room where creating takes place. My home will not be opened for viewing...just too much pressure, too much to do getting ready for this sale, hope you understand.

Loving chalkboard art





What's Old in today...plus yardsale/fleamarket news








Fall items...making their way into the shop. The shop will be
open today, Saturday...and then closed until Sept. 5th when there will be more vintage added with Halloween collections.

Yard sale...YES...THERE WILL BE A YARD SALE IN WEST HAVEN next week...on THURSDAY. Check back for the address and details of times.

It will be big
way to big for me...but then, it has to be!

I will  have my workroom opened...in case you want to see it, I just love it!

the yard sale will be 99% vintage, mostly garage sale pricing, some fleamarket pricing, but not shop pricing. Prefer cash.

Thinking that Thursday is best where it's the labor day weekend ahead cause there is swiss days and end of the summer vacations. The sale could continue into Friday, you
would need to check the blog for that news.

west haven...west of 21st street ogden...in the country.
yes, there is corn, tomatoes, onions growing and even farm
animals...maybe the new Maverick on 2550 S. will be open...it's a dandy if I ever saw one...I just may go there for a corn dog, you can too.

I posted recently about the fruit stand just heading into willard...and if your a redneck...there is always smith and edwards, they have everything dont they?  make a day up
North.

Peachy excursion

Located on your way to willard
Everything at Pettingill fruit was amazingly fresh and good
It will be on the East side of the road
they carry their own name label jams

Two trailers of LARGE just turning ripe peaches pulled in
how can you not bring home a half bushell?

We heard they had the best milkshakes...
Farrs ice cream and fresh fruits can't be beat
creamy SUMMERTIME good!
(recommend the  blackberry)


Up the road (north) on West side of road in Willard
is The Amish store
It's a beautiful large shop filled with fine foods.
It's like bulk broken down into small packages.
You almost want to make gift baskets because everything
is so neat and could co-ordinate well.
A walk-in cooler has unique cheeses
(you may sample them)



Had I remembered they make really good sandwiches
we would have done shakes on the way home.
well...another reason to go back...for lunch.

So...if you come up to West Haven for our Big yard sale
next week...you have reason to travel 10 miles up north.
Surely there's something at Smith and Edwards you need!

still watching weather...for yard sale
won't know until possible Sunday/Monday

Antique wallpaper. old furniture. and a yard sale coming









Fleattitude Cathie sold me some sweet antique wallpaper
out of her suitcase. I didn't have a clue as to what I would do with it, but while cleaning my workspace it came to me to us it in a display as it matches my room. Isn't it precious! I also took an antique wooden frame and framed a piece, it's beautiful all on it's own. Don't you love how vintage colors are always so popular even now.

We are preparing for a yard sale at our home...weather permitting for next week...possibly a ONE DAY ALL DAY sale, POSSIBLY Thurdsay. (POSSIBLY, just means I hate comittment!) We have plenty of stuff to make it worth your while to travel to...and the prices will be just right.

This red chair came from an old estate, it's going to be sold as is, just in case you are decorating for Halloween soon and need something dusty and weathered. It's a heavy piece. I was always going to repurpose it...so don't let me think on it too long or I could change my mind.

Two antique oak rockers that are nice and solid...the leather on them also need a make-over...we don't have room to keep them...so we will be excited when they go to a new owner.

There will be tons of little odds and ends...all vintage.

Would you love to be a Shopkeeper?

If you would love to be shopkeeper to one of the most unique vintage shops in Utah...here is an opportunity. Just a bed of roses is in Farmington on the Historic sycamore district 15 E. state. It was established 7 years ago.

We have carried all things antique. vintage. vintage inspired handmades. jewelry. holiday decor & gifts and have displayed in inspiring vignettes.

We have an outstanding customer base from all over Utah and travelers from other states always come back or seek us out.

If you are interested here is how it works: make a written offer by Aug. 26th 2013  the shop will be ready depending on the offer accepted. Meaning if you want to do the 4th quarter...the busiest of the year, then you could take over Oct. 31 or you may want it sooner.

The offer needs to start at $15,000 which includes awning, visa machine, email list, trade show knowledge and commercial companies that work and dont work for the shop.  The merchandise inside will be negotiable in a seperate price if needed.

The shop is affordable to maintain...625.00 a month, utilities average 75.00 per month. yard care is included in rent. approx. 600 sq. ft with a wheelchair accessable restroom and a storage room. Charming over 100 year old building with an old brick wall inside, wood floors and plaster walls, with a center island covered in galvanized.

Personally, I have loved the size, the merchandise can be ever changing keeping it exciting for the customers to return more frequently.

If you have any questions: brenda 801-628-0890
email: justabedofroses@hotmal.com

The shop has even more potential than I have given it, meaning it could easily branch out into other types of merchandise or services. There is a great need in the Farmington area for antique/vintage, & gifts...so it has worked well.

The shop is opened for viewing Mondays. Thursdays. Friday & Saturdays.  11-5:30

would love to hear from you
brenda
