Quick peek at Atlanta loves..

 

Just a quick peek at my weekend in review from my instagram pics of Atlanta.

I had a really great time and was very happy with my first trip to the show.  There were so many fun new vendors to discover and meet.  As I sift through my pile of emails and catch up on everything here at the office I promise to post more on the great displays and lines that were there.

Rose Bowl Flea Market...

We took a quick morning trip to the flea market on Sunday.  Always a good time!  I was excited to see some new faces and of course some good friends.  I fell in love with these vintage postal bags- so amazing!  He had a few left you can catch him here if you are interested... (U.S. Vintage Leather 562 400 6680)

  I love love these bags too with the linen outfit- yes please!  Brothers of Industry always a favorite!

Always a favorite- the vintage lines.. I resisted this time but only because I have so many that we are making up into pillows for everyone.

The Rusty Bucket was a new find for me- their display was really amazing and I picked up some great vintage frames for a little personal project  that I am working on.  I believe that their shop is located in Camarillo, Ca. 

 

I stopped by A Life of Vintage's booth early in the morning.. She had some really great pieces, love the dress forms and she had this huge antler that I loved.  It was nice to chat with her too as I found out that she reads the blog. (Fun!)  You can fine Sandee at Heather Fields Home and Garden in Westlake Village, Ca.  

 

 

There were 3 of these beauties... I waited to see the vendor but she was out so I had to move on- aren't they so lovely!

How about you did you hit the flea market this past weekend?  Did you get anything good?  I would love to know.

Also, don't miss your chance to enter our giveaway!

Graham and Green

 

I have recently discovered Graham and Green, a British company with some really great designs.  This is what browsing around the internet can get me in an evening.  Don't you just adore the first sofa piece?  Note the contrasting buttons- why didn't I think of that?   It reminds me of the vintage piece that I am hoping to pick up next week from the upholsterer.  I suggest you take at least a moment to be inspired by their collections, I love them!

Vintage Chic

 

I am so glad for the weekend, although I won't be resting too much, I like the idea of it.  Just a little vintage chic inspiration here..  

I received a sweet comment on the blog that made me think about somethings I had planned for this year in blogging.   I wanted to share more of my personal projects with you here, more of what truly inspires me to design in my own home, is that of interest to you my readers?  This year looks to be really great for getting some of the personal projects I have been planning actually done, making them so much more fun to share!

Have a great relaxing Saturday - it's always nice to spend a day doing things for yourself right?

Las Vegas World Market

So last week I had to sneak away to Las Vegas for a day to go to the furniture show.  I had some ordering to do and a few projects to hunt for.  There were some great new pieces so it was worth while.

Love these new hanging lights... must find a spot to use them.  They are made here in California by hand!

Perfect art for one of my projects!!  It is so nice to find something that works so well!

Another super cool grouping of lights!

 

Sorry for the blurry photo (I was low on batteries) but this table is great because it is taller than your average barrel style table.  Perfect for a side table.

NEED these!

The Iris wall lights- totally cool!

A great view of the large Bling Chandelier.

It was nice to see Bliss Studio in person.

I love the chests with the mirror inserts.

I ordered some of these pillows for jobs and a few for my son's bedroom.

 They are perfect in Orange and Grey!

Love this chair.

Apparently lighting in multiples was the thing to do (or maybe it is just one of my favorites).  I love love this.

These are so cool as a low profile dining chair for a different look.  

 

It was a quick trip but I found what I needed and had a little time to shop in the hotel which was nice.  Have a wonderful weekend!
