Shabby Chic Goods..even Rachel would be proud!

So what did I bring home with me on my trip to the Rose Bowl Flea Market?  I brought my handy li'l note book with all the things I needed to finish some projects around our home. 

 
At the top of my list is a 6 foot long dresser for our bedroom.  But sadly to say I never found one there that fit the bill.  I did find lots of chairs, metal and wood that I would of gladly taken home.  I found two metal chairs {50's lawn chairs with the arms} that where in the Robin's Egg Blue that I like and that is so popular right now.  They had a heart shaped embossing on them.  I didn't need them so I passed over them.  But all day I kept thinking about them.  My reasoning was if I go back at the end of the day and they are still there..it was meant to be.  Alas..they where gone when I went back to see them.  {I wish I would of taken a picture of them}.  The also where priced a bit high.  $100.00 for two.  Then at the end of the day I saw a set of 5 Windsor Chairs all beat up but really sturdy for $45.00.  I wish I would of got them.  We are short a dining chair that broke and I'm on the look out for something new.  They had a flat back on them so I would of stenciled a number or monograms on them.  I think I'll try to make the trip next month and see if they are there.  And yet again I did not take a picture..go ahead and slap me upside the head!!  Here is what I did get and Rachel  would be proud...

I loved this square table cloth and napkin set in linen.  It is the prettiest color of pink and the detail on the embroidery is so exquisite.

 
 
 It was only 20.00 dollars for all of it.  I thought that was a good deal. 

If you have following my blog for awhile you know this cutie putootie has been on the TO DO list for awhile.  Finally Mr. Incredible drilled holes in it and hung it up.  I was able to find all the crystals at the Rose Bowl.  I did look for the bell shaped shades I want to add buttons to make it complete.  You might remember this inspiration photo. 

 
  Here it is hung in her Shabby Chic room.

I also found this chippy greenish blue lantern...

Not sure where it will come to reside but for now I think it looks good here. I think it needs a more beefy candle and Rachel will give me her thumbs up.  Speaking of Ms. Shabby Chic .  She will be around these parts on Sunday at the Crossroads Antique Mall at the Circle in Orange, Calif.  At a book signing event.  Here are some pictures of her store in Newport Beach that I took a few years ago.  Love her style...obviously.

 
I am going to try and make it but with two soccer games that day not sure I can sneak away.  She'll be there at NOON!! 

I'm also linking up with Cindy at My Romantic Home  for Show and Tell Friday.
