fun French finds arriving in Paris Flea Market!

it's that fun funky feel good salvage event

I just finished scrubbing the rust off my hands and face from crawling all over the salvage room getting it ready for you to snatch up a bargain!  All salvage 50% off this week.  Think windows, door knobs, vintage gas cans, fishing poles, light fixtures, garden implements . . . what else?

bangle jingle

my friend's mother wore many silver bangles and bracelets layered gracefully on her wrist.  one night under the stars we talked about growing up and she shared a memory of coming home late from a date or work and stopping at her parents bedroom door and hearing her mother's jewelry jingle comfortingly in the dark and she slept.

I've never forgotten that image.

Bollywood!

MARKET was HOT and I mean it!!!!!

what's a little perspiration when you're having this much fun???  Don't miss MARKET August 21st!

adorable adornments

Kiersten doesn't just model these beautiful pieces, she makes them as well!  Doesn't she just exude the glamour girls of the 1940s?  We are honored to have as a new vendor at MARKET.  Check out her creativity!

"In 2008, Kiersten’s headbands started as a simple collection of raw

materials. With her unique taste, she has always been attracted to
simple, vintage elegance so that summer in Kansas, she began to build her collection from buttons, doilies, and bits of ribbon. In February of 2009 her designers’ eye began to turn her collection into the tangible art you see today.

Since her first headband, she has been designing and creating beautiful vintage pieces out of everything from antique hats to bingo pieces. Her love of her craft can be seen in every piece."

don't know nothin' bout birthing babies

one of my very bestest friends in the whole wide world gave birth to a baby girl!  Her 4th baby and 2nd girl.  since I have never had the opportunity to have a child birth seems like an exciting, loud, painful miracle to me (OK, maybe I've watched too many episodes of TLC's A Baby Story).  The biggest decision for me is what to get the new one that is unique and useful all at once.

thank heavens for babyggear and RuthAnn's vision for babies who ROCK!!!  she is making me a gift for the new baby that will be cute, darling and adorable!

check her out at MARKET saturday and stock up on her goodies.  after the market she can be reached at :
