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?
