Make it a Memorial Day Weekend to remember with a stop at the Carpinteria Valley Historical Society and History Museum’s Marketplace scheduled for Saturday, May 25, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the museum grounds, 956 Maple Ave in downtown Carpinteria.
Come for the rummaging and shopping, stick around for the live music and snack bar. Vendors offer an eclectic array of merchandise — jewelry, vintage clothing, toys, plants, musical instruments, old school film cameras, handicrafts, collectibles, furniture, are food items are the tip of the iceberg of this treasure trove.
The booth Sewing by Sandra features custom made goods by Sandra Santos, a native of India who has lived in Carpinteria with her husband for the last 10 years. Santos offers dressmaking and alteration services. “I’ve been sewing for many years taught by my mother which is my passion. I’ve met so many wonderful people in Carpinteria who I now call friends,” reported the seamstress. For more information, email sewingbysandraoo@gmail.com.
The booth operated by the museum, Granny’s Attic, offers plenty of treasures to sift through along with a jumble of toys, cameras, linens, kitchenware, dishware, dolls, figurines, record albums, cameras, arts & crafts, and other assorted offerings. Prices start at 25 cents.
The free, family friendly Marketplace is made possible by community volunteers, who sell hotdogs, drinks, and snacks in addition to setting up, tearing down, and cashiering among other necessary tasks. Additionally, there is live music throughout the day.
