Since you asked:

"Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, to guard a title that was rich before, to gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
to throw a perfume on the violet, to smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
to seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, is wasteful and ridiculous excess."

~William Shakespeare, ca. 1595

Yup, that's us.

Junkin'...

A beautiful morning last week, and Dede and I headed out to the flea market, with a contingent of Studio gals coming to join us there. Here is our Dede, at the ATM around the corner from the market, listening for the magic "flitter" of the bills landing in the cash tray...does she look ready, or what!

Look who we ran into! It's Erika, so in addition to all the girls who joined us there (Ada, Maria, Donna, Nery, Cathy and more...) we were treated to seeing Erika and Susie Overland, who were out poking around. We also stopped and chatted with Lynn from French at Heart, who was selling there that day...

Look at this little bit of loveliness...some of my favorite things: old silver, rhinestones, shades of beige and ecru, and of course, sea shells and shakers...

Also from the same booth, this fetching display of baby heads under glass....


And, at the end of the day, our little cart, filled with wonderful tidbits. Boxes, which I love, antique collar studs, hats, millinery trims and more. The first time I had been out poking in quite a while, and a perfect venue for it. A wonderful days with friends, sun, the as-promised-breakfast-burrito, and a breeze in the trees...

Nancy,
It was such a pleasure finally meeting you in person in my trip to OC. Both you and your store were delightful and truly inspiring! I only wished I lived closer to visit more often.
I will look forward to seeing you again, my new friend...
