Petaluma Antiques Faire

On the weekend of my visit with Kate in Petaluma, CA, it happened to be the time of year for their annual streetside antiques fair.  Even though we did get a little bit of rain that morning, we decided to head on out for a day of browsing the vendors.  The rain stopped and it ended up being a really nice day.

downtown Petaluma

Petaluma is a beautiful little town and seems to be such a great family place to live.  Kate and her hubby speak highly of it and I imagine it is small town living at it’s best, being only 45 minutes from San Francisco, one of the prettiest cities in our country.

Fall leaves Petaluma

Fall was definitely in the air and the leaves were turning that September weekend.

Iron coffee table

So, off to the antiques fair we went, browsing and taking pics of our fave things.  Wouldn’t this iron piece make a great coffee table?

Kate Mickey

There’s that cute Kate again, being silly with Mickey.

old beadboard

Loved this old beadboard console table that someone made.  Love!

old fans

Old fans always get my attention.  I have 2 of these myself that I’ve found at yardsales.

Petaluma hills
Rolling hills in the background in downtown Petaluma.

Petaluma Pete

Petaluma Pete played the piano for all the shoppers.  Kate said he is a staple in town and everyone loves him.

shabby chairs

Pretty things in this booth.

vintage cabinet

More love with this chippy old cabinet.

Pretty pillows

Beautiful pillows in this booth.

Rhoda and Kate

Taking pics on the street.

vintage suitcase

Old suitcase.

Another fun day in Cali!  If you ever get a chance to hang out in Petaluma, you will not regret it.  Beautiful part of the country.  There’s still more to come from my fun trip to Kate’s world!

    I went through there once on a bicycle, and the downtown had a great feel to it. I loved that chippy bench, too.

    This antique fair looks so cool! I love the console table and hutch. I am not sure if I would leave them the way they are or paint them.

    My favorite is the table and hutch. This would be a nice gift for a friend who is moving into a new place.

    I think I died and went to heaven when I saw that multicolored hutch. Ohmygosh. Gotta love Petaluma, went to college at Sonoma State and the area is definitely one of my favorite parts of California.
