Remnants of the Past

I have been dying to attend this show for  some time.  For one reason or another I have never been able to make it.  This year I have it on my calendar and I can’t wait.!! If you live in the area or happen to be game for a road trip to the little town of Nipomo don’t miss it.  It is held at the historic Dana Powers Barn in Nipomo and is the brainchild of Judy Watkins who lives on the property.  At one time Judy had a little shop called LaDeDa.  She later partnered  with a friend and opened CaLa in Old Edna which later expanded again and moved to downtown, San Luis Obispo, California.  Judy now devotes her time to putting on the Bi-Annual show which is held each Spring and Fall.  The theme of this springs’ show is….stylishly green—generously giving. There will be 40 plus hand picked vendors offering up a wide variety of wares.   The best part? A  portion of the proceeds will go to the local Habitat for Humanity.  Representatives from the San Luis Obispo Habitat for Humanity will be on hand to meet and explain all the wonderful things they do to help the community.
