I'm off to the......
Flea Market
to attend this . I have been there twice and I really enjoyed the hunt and wish I had more time for going on a more regular basis..It is sooo big with lots of fun things to see. I'm so excited...I can't stand it.... mostly because we are meeting up with two of my favorite bloggers in blog land. She , the one and only Heather Bullard of PastPresent Blog. I have loved her design style and how she so efforlessly turns trash into beautiful items for the home and she is a wiz at Photography and styling, not only that she is really, really, really a genuine nice person who is so down to earth. I met her once at La Maison Rustique {the flea market sale in the Wine country of Riverside County, Calif.} She has a booth there and I have bought several things from her booth...remember the sweet black and white li'l gingham apron, that was hers. This creative blogger , I also admire her work but have never had the pleasure of meeting her in the real world. She is so creative and when I grow up I want to be her....I really do. I wish I had one ounce of her creative style. Her wall papered closet had me at "hello cutie closet" . I have a vintage wall papered item on the way, in a much smaller scale, one that I can handle} Remember this thrift store find.... process of being revamped it's almost done, I need to purchase more vintage wall paper and I can cross that cutie to be off my list. You must check out her blog she has the most inspirational craft projects and I think Anthropologie should hire her to make stuff for them. They would be very smart indeed.

Edited to add....here are our gracious hostessess....
Look at the cutest little Goody Bags they put together for the Flea Marketeers...I love the Circus Theme and inside the boxes to keep hunger at bay was a bag of Cracker Jacks, Animal Cookes, a small gold trophy, striped candies, Circus Stickers {which my daughters quickly confiscated along with the Cracker Jacks} and attached to the box was the cutest Jute crocheted necklace wreath made by Jenny Doh...how cute is that? She put it on a shipping tag that was hand stamped....very cute...We also got some Vintage Images to use on our Crafty projects. Look here...
What a treat it was to meet these ladies and loved and appreciated how much thought it went into planning this. Merci , Merci, Merci. More pictures to follow this week.
how fun Ellie! :) Wish I could have gone with you!

It was fun to meet you Gabrielle! Now we can keep in touch. Did you find good treasures? I got some of the most awesomest stuff. Seriously. Oh, I love your header. ;-) Did you see my family room yet? Same fabrics, but so different.
