I admit I have a thing for vintage fabrics... let's just call it a problem okay.  Just before I left these sweet little things were finished but I did not have a chance to share them with you.  I pulled them all out this weekend and love them all together.  The Ikat is new for me and I love the way they came out, so clean but so wonderfully modern mixed with the Batik fabrics.  I have put most of them in the shop because let's face it, I cannot have them all!   I have used mostly vintage fabric pillows in my home just because I want them to be unique, I think that is the best way for a home to be... mixed and matched with vintage and new.  What do you think?  Do you do vintage?

 I spent the first part of this week getting ready and doing a two day shoot with One Kings Lane for our upcoming Taste Maker Tag Sale.  I am very excited!!  This is just a little bit of the behind the scenes from the shoot.  So many wonderful vintage pieces and a bunch of pillows!  Thank you as always to OKL for being so great!



 

So I have a question... do you instagram?  I do and I love love it!  I love the idea of being able to have a camera with me at all times and having the editing tools there too.  It is super fun and I am sure I post too many of the same pictures just from different angles.. this is how I use my regular camera too.  I take a lot of pictures and then I look for just the right one (usually they are really the same but I like to abuse my use of the camera memory).   I would love to know if you are on instagram and if you would like to have some new followers please let us all know your user name in the comments section...

I get a lot of emails and comments asking me to show some of my purchases from the flea markets.. I did take a couple of pics with my phone of some of my goodies!   (The first picture is of the gorgeous peonies that I picked up before dinner today- not from the flea market but had to share).  I found these beautiful pale green glass beads to mix in with my bone beads- love them... I also bought this great Union Jack - it is a little oversized and very thin.  Perfect for a window or to just drape around.



This is one of my favorite things!!!!  I am taking this in this morning to have it made into a pillow... so so loving this one.  Just underneath it is a beautiful English wedding document that will be getting framed and off to the side is a great croc bag (it is the real thing) that I picked up for a steal about a month ago.

Wishing you a wonderful late start to the week!

 

We spent the better part of the morning at the flea market on Sunday.  This was my first time to Santa Monica flea market and it was pretty successful as far as shopping.  It was a small group of vendors but there was a pretty good selection.  I found a lot of textiles and pillows which is always fine by me as those are a few of my favorite things!  We even had a few celebrity sitings which made for a fun morning.
