I'm back from The Paris Fleamarket hosted by The Cottage Gals. They have a cute little shop in Leesburg, Virginia, and they invited vendors to set up in their backyard. Everyone was so nice, and the shop is really great. I only had 30 minutes, because I had to get to the bus stop by 11:00. Here's what I got:Aren't their bags cute! I'm going to save mine and use it again.
I bought a little charm ... here's pictures of front and back.
At the top of my shopping list was a bird for my table and . . .
a blue creamer. They had a bag of little eggs, but I snoozed and someone else snatched them up. Why do I do things like that? I know better.
The latest issue of Romantic Homes was there too. It is a good one this month.
Wouldn't it be fun to go to a real paris fleamarket?
And all these neat little things will go perfectly with my little desk that I just finished. I was going to put it in the living room, but it looks much better in my garden room.
Please excuse all the pictures ... I'm just sooo proud ... that I finally finished a project. I'm good at starting, not so good at finishing.Here's what it used to look like. I had a picture with the old knobs before I washed and sanded it, but lost it in the bad hard drive incident. You get the idea though.
High-maintenance child is calling ... got to go!p.s. Does anyone else find this blogger editing to be difficult sometimes? grrrr

That desk is super cute! You did such a great job with it. I love those curvy feet!
I have a fondness for birds, I have a couple of iron & ceramic ones in my home and I would have bought that creamer too!

Great finds a the Paris Flea Market! That desk is awesome! You did an awesome job refinishing it.
Blogger drives me crazy when I am trying to get my pictures just right with the text. I am a little OCD when it comes to my page layout.
Thanks for your kind comments on my blog. I like yours too. Lucky you being able to go to the Paris Flea Market. Love your desk! It looks yummy with the aqua. Also love your Proverbs quotes. It's my favorite book in the Bible.
I love your project! You are the second person who has completed a furniture project this week! You are my inspiration! It is so great that you still have boutiques close by to visit and....make your house a home! If you want some cute eggs I can paint them for you, just let me know.
With Knidness,

I love everything! You did a great job on the desk. I think that issue of Romantic Homes is really good too. It reminds me of the old Victoria Magazines.
coming to a city near you...chicago this summer...can't wait...I was actually invited to be a vendor....too busy!
Glad you got to go to the Paris Flea Market! You got some great stuff! I LOVE all your pics, so please keep 'em coming. I especially like the bird you found, how pretty! You did a nice job on the little desk, very shabby-chic. What did cityfarmer mean about coming to chicago? I don't want to miss anything you guys are doing, especially if it's near me!
Had to come over and peek at your blog!! Love that desk! What a great job refinishing it!

Your desk is unbelieveable!!! I love that little painted scrollwork you did there! And the distressing is just perfect.
Sorry I've been MIA. We were really sick at our house for over a week and then the Noodle and I went to Chicago Thursday - Sunday. I have laryngitis (sp?) and it's been 1 1/2 weeks of no talking.....it's KILLING me, sister!
Anyway, miss you and your blog, but I'm back now and I will be visiting again :)
xoxo,

Tag Heuer Aquaracer was established by Edouard Heuer in Switzerland in 1860. Edouard wanted to design a measurement of time and he fulfilled this ambition by creating a Micrograph Stopwatch in 1916. This stopwatch was one of the most significant developments of those times. The classy perfection of this watch deserves a certain level of respect.
