We're Going Bowling!!

It's true - we're going to the Rose Bowl Flea Market!!

Last week I posted on my recent trip to Pasadena. Sweet, and very talented Grace from Grace Happens blog, mentioned a trip to the Rose Bowl Flea Market hosted by another amazing designer - Eddie Ross! Last week Grace made a trip into the store and by the time she had left, Alex, Grace and I had official plans to go!

**On a side note - if you haven't checked out Grace's blog yet, you must! She has AMAZING style! Check out her beautiful kitchen!

.....and here is her breath-taking master bathroom

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it - I'm going with 2 incredibly talented women - to meet up with one very talented man! I also can't wait to finally meet some fellow Southern California bloggers! (shout out to Shelly! : )

I have a feeling there will be quite a few photo-ops so I promise I'll to post them!

Without Further Adieu

I finally got my act together to take pictures of my flea market finds. Now, before I get any hopes up - I unfortunately did not find any amazing pieces of furniture that I just couldn't live without. And I was so in awe of my first (well really second - but the first time I went, it was pouring rain, and many of the vendors ended up packing up early) flea market trip, that I completely forgot to take pictures while we were there!

My favorite booths were the guys that had a bunch of old doors and windows with all of the original chippy paint. I was threatening of circling back around and snagging one before I left, but my mom and I decided that this was only our first trip, to check out how everything works, and that we would definitely go back.

I didn't go home completely empty handed - in the last section, there was a guy with a table full of a bunch of odds and ends - or "chachkee's" as they are better known in our house. Nestled in the middle of all the "chachkee's" were a bunch of blue and white pots, for DIRT cheap!

I love the classic look of blue and white pottery - so Ralph Lauren! (cue the sophisticated voice)

Guess Who's Working on Their New Years Resolutions....

ME!!!! I feel like today is Christmas Eve all over again! But instead of tomorrow being Christmas, tomorrow is...........................Long Beach Flea Market Day!!!!!!!! I can't wait - I'm so excited!!

The master bedroom re-do may be temporarily put on hold. It all depends on if I find anything tomorrow. Number one on my list is an old pine dining table.

I'll post pictures soon!
