Portland Antique Expo

A Return to the Rose City

November 3, 2014, 4 Comments on A Return to the Rose City

After only a month in Orange, Patrick and I had to make a trip back to Portland. Our trip was mainly for a friend’s wedding, but also for Patrick’s work, and it also happened to fall around the time of the October antique show at Portland’s Expo Center. I honestly didn’t find too much at…

A Few Finds

This last weekend was one of the more anticipated events of the year, the thrice annual antique expo.  With the upcoming Palm Springs trip looming in the back of my mind, I spent a reserved amount of dough and only a few things came home with me… While there were a few dealers with clothing,…

Antique Show Tips & Tricks

October 28, 2013, 6 Comments on Antique Show Tips & Tricks

The Portland Antique and Collectable Expo is about the vintage lover’s equivalent of a marathon. Or remember those Black Friday ads that Target had awhile back of a woman training for it? Yeah, it’s a bit like that.  But instead of once a year, it happens three times a year. With over 1,000 booths to…

October 27, 2013, 7 Comments on Just a Few Treasures…

This weekend was the third, and final, Antique Expo of the year… Dealers are trying to hustle their Halloween decorations just days before the holiday, and kitschy ceramic Santa Clauses are at every turn.  While the show didn’t expand my wardrobe (and this time I’m quite thankful) it was still a lot of fun and…

What a weekend.  I can honestly say that I am beat! This last weekend brought the huge summer antique show at the Expo Center.  While the March and October Expos are great, the July one takes the cake.  An additional 400 dealers join the party, bringing the number up to 1,400 and I went all…

This weekend brought one of my favorite things…the big Palmer-Wirf Antique Expo!  There was so much to see and so much to buy, for the first time, it almost felt, dare I say it? Overwhelming.  And I’ve never felt that way about Expo ever before!  I’ve been going to Expo since I could walk! No…

Over the last few months I’ve been OBSESSED with Over the last few months I’ve been OBSESSED with @cerro.gordo.ca on YouTube - one man, alone in an abandoned silver mining town from the 1860s that he owns. Well, he’s not totally alone, he has some kitties and goats to keep him company! I highly recommend watching! And if you like what ya see, he has merch (including this tee and more) and a Patreon that helps him restore the place. I can’t wait to visit the place in person one day. 🏚

A few things, that article is a few years old now, shortly after the shoot my husband and I purchased a 1954 ranch in Anaheim (just next door to the quaint town of Orange) and we’ve also added some new (to us) aluminum trees to our forest! If you hop over to my blog not only will you see how we have decked our halls this year but you can check out our home, adventures, and more! The link is in my bio! All that said I do love that they continue to reshare that article because it showcases mid-century living doesn’t always require a mid-century home! Thanks again for following and I hope you’re all having a lovely and safe holiday season! 💖

Bummed to hear the old Downey Cadillac dealership, Bummed to hear the old Downey Cadillac dealership, a marvel of mid century design, is being demolished this week. I beg that property owners listen to historians and try to value the history of their land, and work in tandem to preserve and repurpose instead of just tear down. Search “Downey” on the blog for more images of when I visited the property back in 2018. Link on profile.
