I've done a lot of antiquing in my day
and there is 1 shop that stands above all.



Monticello Antique Mall in Portland, Oregon.

I will drive for 6 hours to shop.
It was the first stop on our trip

and again

I was not disappointed!




I studied all of the details ...all of the minute details.

Beautiful as usual.


Here are spaces from blogging friends...


Kathy from Colby Cottage



A dreamy pink mixer


bird cage, lace and tin -such a lovely trio

Debbie with My Shabby Roses
Isn't this bottle sweet?

For all things pink...


How fun it must be to be part of such a great store!

Rene' I'm so glad you were able to go to Montis. It is a fun place to shop isn't it. Thank you for taking a picture. I have to say it was a little messy, I had to go in and straighten things up.

I hope you and your hubby had a wonderful time!

Rene, thanks for all the visits to my blog and the nice comments that you leave for me! Always a pleasure to see you there.

I love all your pictures of the antiques and vintage items. but that pink mixer has got to be my favorite! I love pink and altho it would not match my kitchen, what a delightful item to have!

I hope you and DH had a great weekend away. I think every couple needs time away, alone, to reconnect and simply enjoy each others' company without all the pressures of daily life!

take care, I'll drop by again soon.

Hello Rene'!

I'm really trying not to be too jealous of your trip to Monticello...such lovelies in every direction as far as the eye can see! I LOVE the montage you put together and the photos of the great blogger's booths you scoped out - gave me a wonderful taste of their great NW fabulousness! I hope you and hubby have had a wonderful time...thanks for sharing!

Hugs and Blessings,
Becky S.

Hi Rene, I'm so glad you had a chance to visit the Monticello. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of my booth as well as the other wonderful pictures. It truly is a pleasure to be part of such a fun store. I love my trips to the store to restock. It is always inspiring and a treat to go. It is two hours from my home but I pretty much go every 2 weeks.So glad you got away with your hubby. Kathy
