Circus Fun House~Bountiful Part Two

 
 
 
If you missed part one of my trip to Bountiful in Venice, California, here's the link.    
 
 
 
 
And here's a couple of reminder photos to carry you forward. 



 
 When I think of my visits to Bountiful, the experience seems not unlike a circus fun house. For sure you will find the unexpected each time.  And you can't predict what will pop out next to delight you.
 
 
 
 
 The front rooms of the shop are shown here, and in my earlier post. But the whole place is an enormous warehouse with rooms on different levels. Snaking through the labyrinthine rooms is a vintage junkies' ultimate adventure. And I'm not at all exaggerating.
 
The path to the back of the shop is that skinny space to the far left in the photo above. If you didn't know it was there you might not find it.
 
 
 
 
 
 Through the looking glass, down the rabbit hole, or beyond the magic wardrobe. . .
 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 


 





















 





 
 
 





 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 







 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
 





 
 




 
 
 






 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 









The circus poster in the center space is so apropos. In the space of two hours I took over two hundred photos of  Bountiful,  Pop Pom Interiors, and Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Couture.  LA is not my neighborhood, but I try to stop by maybe once a year. And what a wild side show it always is!
 
So fun that you came along too!

White Therapy


Once a week I get to drop everything I'm doing and focus on white therapy. I get to think really hard about putting some things together that make me really, really, happy. It's a regular appointment I've set for myself that I really hate to miss. 




One of the nice things about a blog is the regular exercise of something you love that makes you feel good.  And then you get to share it all with somebody who is actually interested!




So today I'm feeling all white and wonderful. Like I'm eating a big piece of my favorite layer cake. Which happens to be. . . . white cake with white frosting. Go figure!  




The rusty wire tray and white flower pot are recent flea market finds. Pillows, Pottery Barn. 











 January 2011 Britsh Edition of Country Living.









I like this type of chippy vintage plant stand for candles, displays, or seasonal decorations. Never plants. (At least so far.)










My prized vintage Heywood-Wakefield wicker.



 

A large vintage damask towel makes a nice tea cloth. But I can never figure out the monograms. Seriously which letter is this?






































Ahhh! That feels better!
Now I'm off to find more white therapy at Faded Charm.
Maybe I'll bump into you there!
