A few highlights from shops that held holiday open houses in our area last weekend. 

 I wanted to buy everything, but exercised great self control :)

 How is your decorating going?

Lucketts Spring Market

9:24 PM | | Edit Post
I am BEYOND thrilled to announce that Kathy and I will be exhibitors this year at the Lucketts Spring Market held in late May. 

This fabulous outdoor market features some amazing dealers, artists, and antique treasures and I am  thrilled to be in the company of all the wonderful vendors they have hosted in the past.  I know that the bar has been set really high for this event and I need to bring my A-game.

We've already started stocking up on antique and vintage items to fill the booth and I know we'll both be crazy making things right up until it's time to hop in the truck and head down to VA to set up. 

I'll keep you posted as we make progress in our preparations! This is  new kind of adventure for me, and so far it's nothing but exciting!


More details to follow...

Flotsam and Jetsam

11:20 AM | | Edit Post

I have a fabulous shop to share with you today! It's called Flotsam and Jetsam, and is located in Kensington Maryland. 


I was introduced the Stacey, the shop owner, through my mom and since our initial visit to the store earlier this year it has become one of my favorite shops EVER!


It seems Stacey has filled her shop with all the items that I love, and has put them together in the most fabulous ways! Everywhere you look there are wonderful treasures to be found. 





I can't believe we didn't snag this old french wedding display when we were in last time. I'm kicking myself now!


Books, buttons, dress forms, jewelry, photographs, ephemera, birdcages, furniture... you can find it all at Flotsam and Jetsam!



You can also check out Stacey's blog here.  You'll also find all the shop details here- it's a must see if your near the DC area!





Or, stop by Stacey's etsy shop!

Patina Style

10:24 PM | | Edit Post
I hope you guys are ready for another book recommendation, because I have great one for you tonight! 


Patina Style
by Brooke Giannetti & Steve Giannetti
I had seen and read about this book around the blogosphere and was really looking forward to getting a peek inside before committing to buy online.  Brooke, the co-author is the creator of Velvet and Linen, a beautiful blog I read regularly so I knew it had to be good. When I finally found a copy in Barnes and Noble I quickly snatched it up to investigate, and once I had gotten a glimpse of the contents there was no way I was putting it down!!
I've now had my copy of this book for a few weeks, and I've looked though it several times finding new inspiration every single time.
Brooke and Steve share photos of their own home, as well as information about where they have found many of their treasures.  They have impecable, comfortable, and calming sense of style which is focused mainly on antique pieces of furniture and accessories.  

Not only are the photographs beautiful, but the text is wonderful too. I especially love they way they identify why we are drawn to antique items with a history, and how they touch on the topic of collections. 
I've already been inspired to add larger architectural pieces to our home (more on that later this week!), add more textures to our decor, and use old books in new ways. 


This book will be a valuable addition to your design inspiration arsenal and you can find your own signed copy of Patina Style here, where you will also receive free domestic shipping.  And be sure to stop by the Velvet and Linen blog too!


P.S.- don't forget to enter the Blogiversary give-away!
