This week, I came across the latest issue of Flea Market Home & Garden Style magazine, and I always love the vintage items they feature as well as new ideas for decorating with them.
This photo was taken at the famous Round Top flea market in Texas, and I'm itching to go there. I think the "Silver Sisters" from my cozy mystery series need to take a road trip, so in a year or so, I may need to do a research trip so I can (believably) write that book.
I've had plants in teacups before, but as much as I love artwork and decor of stacks of teacups, it just never dawned on me to plant something in more than one cup. A fun idea!
I thought it was interesting that they titled this article "Live with what you love." Over the years, I must have read the advice to "buy what you love" a hundred times. I've always wondered, "Are there folks out there who are buying what they hate?" Because I sure don't. And that's why my kitchen cabinets and dining room shelves look like the ones at right, where a "botanical" motif is featured on pretty tea wares.
And if you don't like "botanical," then perhaps the "traditional" motif will do it for you. There's plenty to love in this issue, and now I'm ready for the fall and Christmas magazines to start hitting the newsstand!
That looks like a fun issue of that magazine--I'll have to look for it at my Barnes and Noble. And like you, I am really looking forward to the Fall and Christmas issues of my favorite magazines!
ReplyDeleteOoh, all that blue and white at Round Top! Too bad it’s so far away. Although these days, my motto is “Buy what you have room to store” - which isn’t much. I’d enjoy drooling over the pictures in this magazine anyway.
ReplyDeleteI have the same motto: Buy what you have room to store! (I have no more room unless I want to live in the Gazebo.) Now, is there anyone who would like to buy what I no longer need/want?
DeleteI think I would enjoy this magazine. Funny, but I don't stop to look for magazines at the market any more. I think I need to do that.
ReplyDeleteOK, that was me, Marilyn M.
DeleteWe have been attending Round Top antiques fair spring and fall for 19-20 years. There are a lot of venues which are free to shop, with free parking. Carmine Dance Hall is free, as well as all the shops at The Y, and LaBahia is great also. You will need to allow plenty of time to make a hotel reservation. We stay at a Christian camp with our minister and his wife, who stay for free. Other friends join us, usually a group of 10-12. The rest of us all pay for our rooms. You will want to have lunch or dinner at JWs in Carmine, and we always have dinner at Las Fuentes in LaGrange. We will be attending in October, and if you’d like, I can pick up a booklet (more like a magazine) to mail to you. My name is DeeDee Clark, and I live in north Texas.
