Anna Corba signing books and Romantic Homes Magazine at Roses & Rust Soirée and Marché du Printempts



Anna says her journey began when her “flea market collections refused to lay tame” on her studio’s shelves.  Her paintings began including paper ephemera and objects she’d gathered over the years. Love of collage, vintage items beautifully collected gave birth to her own product line. Her work has been showcased in specialty boutiques as well as larger emporiums (Anthropologie)  across the country.



 

She is the author of 

Doodling in French: How to Draw with Joie de Vivre

 

Vintage Paper Crafts

 

Memories of a Lifetime: Alphabets & Ornaments: Artwork  for Scrapbooks & Fabric-Transfer Crafts

 

She has been featured in

Where Women Create: Inspiring Work Spaces of Extraordinary Women

Country Living's Crafting A Business 

as well as in this April's issue of Romantic Homes Magazine.

Besides her book projects and travel to France she has workshops to share her “love of collage using vintage elements.”



 



She will be signing copies of the April issue of Romantic Homes, as well as her own books 

 

 

 

“I prefer naturally-aged pieces most of all. I've been known to bury things in dirt, leave them out in the rain to be wrinkled, leave them in the sun to be bleached, throw my ribbons in the bathtub, drain my coffee grounds over parchment and, of course, dye my tags with leftover tea bags. I also love the use of melted beeswax as a muted soft patina over general collage work."

 

Come to the Soirée Friday April 12, 5-8 pm for an even more relaxed meeting with Anna.

Her books and some Romantic Homes Magazines will be available to purchase.

Reasons our Marché is one of the top Romantic Flea Markets in America!

The word 'romantic' is often used to describe works of art of a particular kind.  It stems from the word 'romance' - originally a medieval tale of chivalry, with scenes and incidents remote from ordinary life.
There is a surprising connection to the word 'romancer', which can be defined as 'one who deals with extravagant fiction'.  For that is, in a wonderful sense, what our vendors in the Roses & Rust Vintage Home & Garden Market are: truly talented people who contrive to make us ignore the world outside and believe the impossible is attainable. 

The romantic approach offers a wonderfully soothing way of escaping from the harassment of everyday life.

For the last 2 years, Romantic Homes Magazine  has awarded the Roses & Rust Marché the distinction of being one of the top Romantic Flea Markets in America.

Our vision is to create a Marché that appeals to the senses and takes you away from the jostle and tension of everyday life; one that also appeals to the spirit and gives you the opportunity to evoke your imagination to create your own unique environment. 

Viva la Romance!

Come to the Early Buy and Contribute to the Community!

For each Early Buy ticket purchased, Roses & Rust will contribute a dollar to the Shasta Women's Refuge, a Non-Profit Organization which provides confidential services to victims of  domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking at no cost.

Why an Early Buy?  Each time we have presented our Market we have many requests from people to have an opportunity to come early and have a chance to buy before the show begins.
So, for this Marché d' Automne we have organized an official time between 8-10 A.M. on October 13, for those who want to pay a higher rate and fulfill their wishes.

As another benefit for this special ticket which is $15, we are giving a "$4-off-lunch" coupon to be used at either of our two fabulous lunch vendors on location at the Redding Civic Auditorium.
