Two days, 24+ hours of picking at 2 flea markets, an antique mall and 3 estate sales. Potentially one of my best picking trips ever. You get to see it (and buy it) next WEEKEND first. The table I am head over heels in love with, I’ve never seen one like it. The painting might end up a keeper if someone isn’t lucky enough to grab it next weekend. For you vinyl junkies, the best record stand ever. For my book lovers you might have to pry this one out of my hands. Not pictured, linens, more art work, flow blue, the cutest damn full aprons and 1/2 aprons I’ve found in YEARS. Lots of cleaning and unpacking (the ln repacking) but I promise the anticipation is worth it, it’s going to be a WOW of a show.

Long flea market weekend! 14 hours in total (7 at each market). Pec Thing is only twice a year - well worth the trip. Next one is in September. Elkhorn didn’t disappoint - next one is June! Early bird for both is the way to do it. Nothing like rolling through a gigantic flea market at 5am. So many amazing treasures coming home with me for .design.mart and . Always up for à road trip, fantastic rural roads between the two.

I realize I’m absolutely horrible about keeping up on here. I fully intend to post nice curated photos leading up to of things I’ll be bringing but honestly the day job is keeping me from finding the time. So here’s some highlights including me in my natural habitat hunting treasure at a flea market in Paris. Also bonus of my child celebrating Mother’s Day with me. I will make an effort to post pictures as I select and pack, I can promise you Europe and Midwest roadtrips have been excellent treasure troves. and Pec Thing THIS weekend are what I’m excited about. Should I be home sorting the studio? Yes. Do I have FOMO about missing something amazing yes even more so. Pictures of the adventures to come. In the meantime, go shop .design.mart (restocked Christmas there) and .

Unpacking, sorting and pricing for November 15 & 16! Sharing some of the funds from my travels in the US and Europe that I’ll be bringing. Amazing set of JJ Christmas tree brooch and earrings still on the original card! It just doesn’t get more deadstock than this. Also, restrung this adorable presumably homemade vintage garland with mercury beads and straws so that it can safely be used to once again spread Holiday cheer. More to come! Are you excited? I am. See you soon.
