Antiques In The Park

 Lafayette Park ( in St Louis Mo) is a perfect setting for an antiques sale.
 The park, designed in the 1800's, is surrounded by beautiful Victorian era homes.


I went to the sale on a clear, warm Sunday. There was a variety of products being sold on the sidewalks around the park.
 I thought this lamp was interesting. I especially like the shade.
 This console table needed work but  had plenty of potential.  A wash of paint would make a huge improvement.
 I love this poster. I didn't buy it. I wish I had.
 I also love this chenille bedspread with a peacock pattern in the center and it's in the color of the year Tango Tangerine. Amazing
 I thought this metal wall piece was interesting. I like how the design intensifies towards the center.

 There was a great display of vintage metal signs. Hope they all went home with someone.
The neighborhood is also home to the charming Rue Lafayette cafe. My favorite place " to take a meeting."

Rue Lafayette

Rue Lafayette is a charming cafe and boutique. It is a Bohemian delight of delicious tastes and vintage shopping. It is one of my favorite places to hang out. I like it for an am meal, a pm meeting or a little music on the weekend.


 The adorable Bella is there to welcome you and she's available to be held and petted.

Araceli is the proprietor but don't mention this to Bella.


On this beautiful spring day the outside seating area was the place to be.
 The outside seating faces LafayettePark and this wonderful park keeper's building.
