Featured Dealer May 2011 ~ The Tattered House

May’s featured dealers, Erika Friend and Sandy Bryan of the Tattered House from Roseville, California’s booth was first noticed when we were shooting our commercial for Eye on the Bay for a CBS spot which aired this past month. We were hurriedly scouring for French antiques on a budget and stopped by their regular booth space (J23). We were attracted to some lovely painted white French chairs, that we ended up reluctantly passing on. We were looking for items to create a French cafe look and although we didn’t actually use the footage we shot in their booth in the final, we couldn’t resist taking photos of their delectable decor. Everything in their booth is romantic and artfully displayed. If you love summertime, and want a reminder of island living, it’s easy to take home a gift from the sea from the Tattered Ladies.

The antique necklace had to go home with a certain collector typing this blog. ;)

Have starfish, will travel...

Tattered in time

If you want to find some beautiful gifts & one-of-a-kind treasures, visit the Tattered House’s booth in J23 at the Alameda Point Antiques Faire but do go early, they run out of merchandise quickly. Also, check out their antiques and vintage living blog.
