Every month Carol, Michelle and I look forward to the Alameda Flea market. We wander up and down the aisles looking at everyone's goods trying to find that special something to bring home. While wandering one month we entered a booth full of vintage treasures that we could not resist. I remember that Erika and Sandy the owners of Tattered House were sitting in two chairs that were for sale as well, chatting to everyone that stopped by their booth. These delightful ladies invited us to visit their shop in Roseville, CA.
The thoughts of a road trip were in the making. We decided that we would drive up to Roseville on our way to our country home in Tahoe for a weekend stay. Unfortunately Carol could not join us, so Michelle and I were on our way.
What a delight to drive up in front of Erika and Sandy's cottage shop on Oak St. in Roseville. The shop was everything they had said and more. So many lovely vintage pieces, there was so much to look at and SO much to want. We were offered coffee, tea ,cookies and kindness. From the moment you walk in the door you are welcomed by a friendly, cheerful atmosphere.
I bought a vintage chandelier for my art room and an adorable hand painted mirror for my closet. I am already thinking of what I want on my next trip back. Can't wait!
