Vintage Top Hat Wearing Pumpkins and Gusty Winds at the Irvine Antique Market

What a windstorm we've had the last few days in Southern California!  I was genuinely nervous that the show was not going to go on yesterday but by Saturday afternoon, the winds completely stopped and I was able to finish up some last minute pieces. 

Sunday was a beautiful day however the market was a bit on the slow side.  Blame it on the weather?  Who knows?  Regardless of that, the day turned out to be lots of fun and as always, it was great talking to new and returning customers. 

Here are some pictures from my set up.  I didn't have much for sale but I made the best of it and I think my space looked pretty fun.

I will be selling at The Rose Bowl Flea Market on October 13th so be on the look out for those top hat wearing pumpkins!

Ma Chambre....

Even though it was over 90 today here, I decided to stay in-doors and take advantage of some free time that seemed to come out of nowhere.  Now trust me because when you do flea markets and such, free time is such a rare luxury that it's ridiculous.  Of course, that's only if you're doing Flea Markets full time like I do.  Anyways, I've always loved the look of chalkboard walls such as this one I found on Apartmenttherapy.com here:

I love their use of dark rich colors and the soft flickering lights from the tea lights.  I am not completely there with my room as you can see the pink wall and door next to my small partition wall (the other side is my office) but I thought doing my chalkboard wall was going to get things started with a huge punch of change in the original set up.  You can also see one of my Art Deco dressers as well.

Tomorrow's Just an Excuse Away.....

love Burled Walnut....

So that's what I did with my time today! lol  I must admit that I had my sister come in and go through all of my collected items (still in moving boxes no less!) and she arranged everything on top of my dresser.  She's a Visual Communications major and she is immensely immensely talented.
