They had enclosed their booth and provided shoppers sanctuary with a covered beach vibe reminding them of sunnier days to come. a little "sun" in "P8" Photos by Jara... Continue reading

We are happy to welcome all of our dedicated Antiques Faire shoppers and dealers to our December 2010 Faire, which is our 148th show!

In fact, many of our vendors set up exclusively at Alameda Point. Because of the importance of our event to so many people it is very upsetting to have the show rained out as occurred last month. (Be aware however that even if it rains, the... Continue reading
