The tantalizing view while queuing up outside the Atelier de Campagne container sale
this weekend (that basket was just enormous!). After driving an hour south, I met my
sister and mother at 7 and we continued south to Santa Cruz county and the tiny town
of Corralitas. Blooming apple orchards and neat rows of strawberry and artichokes
teased us further along. Nearly a half hour early, a wee bit of fog settled in damply
about us as we waited nearly first in line to be greeted by Johan. And then Tristan
arrived, laden with coffee, handing out pens, tape, and sold tags to arm ourselves
with against what seemed to be very amiable competitors…
A stack of Belgian bricklayers tables…
available as top only as well, ever present succulents,
a wide, gracious, cast stone urn…
Colorful grape picker’s hods…backed by a quantity of
vintage wire baskets and wooden spools…
and furthest back..stacked shallow wood boxes…
Around back of the same tree…
a European primitive console and
chorus line of earthenware jugs…
And more classical grouping of garden urns…
A large collection of pretty painted vintage furniture…
diminutive leather footstool at top…
A wide curvy dining room sideboard
and iced nightstand…
A rack of Gustavian gray chairs
alongside a tall church candlestick
A pert painted nightstand…
Sold items started gathering…
beautiful regrets….
And happy finds…
To be continued….
