Artefact Design and Salvage is a favorite jaunt when
I want to head up north to Sonoma…
Did you see my earlier post about this
terrific architectural salvage focused
design shop? Previous post here
A bit further north…just off the Sonoma town square
is a bit of the Paris Flea at Chateau Sonoma…
I’ve posted about Chateau Sonoma before….
Just found a neat Pottery Barn video of owner
Sarah Anderson interviewed at her own home…
Click link for a fabulous tour and to see how Sarah incorporates
many of her French antiques and flea market finds into her
lovely family and entertaining friendly 19th century home…
And…to put on your calender….
French Flea Market
May 22nd & 23rd
Our sixth annual French Flea Market boasts a European-feeling
shopping adventure in the garden court of Chateau Sonoma. Located
at 153 W. Napa Street in Sonoma, just a half block from the town’s historic plaza,
Chateau Sonoma brings French importers from all over the Bay area to sell their
antique treasures directly to you at wholesale prices. Furniture, pottery, linens,
ironwork, light fixtures, jewelry…all will be available in this lively weekend event
that delights bargain seekers and Francophiles alike.
More information call 707.935.8553
The French Flea Market is held in the lovely gravel
courtyard behind the store, and spills out
into the side yard alongside the store…
Sonoma is such a charming place to visit…
makes for the perfect spring day….
Trouvais 
the tables at artefact are divine… As always I love the photos you share
I love the Paris flea market – and have made many fabulicious finds there!
I just love that – what?- grotto? – in the bottom photo! Call me insane – but I want to house my refrigerator in it!
Trish,
I went to the flea market at Chateau Sonoma last year. Saw some of the same vendors you see at Alameda, but still found it worth the trip. Will return again this year. Thanks for the reminder!
Trish:
I am smitten by the many beautiful urns and lions heads and well there is a whole treasure of beautiful things to be tempted by
And the fact that it is located in the beautiful Sonoma area of California — that is another reason to visit and spend some time.
Now to figure out how to plan the getaway,
Joanny
Oh my! Such tempting French treasure…. Love that blue huge cabinet in the second picture……my favorite blue…
Crazy for those white glazed dishes…off to check out that video.
Thanks for all these wonderful images…
