Paris Fleas

My husband was in Paris last week and he had his marching orders ... take pictures of any flea markets you come across. He did, and brought back some Paris, Frenchie, girly things for me to list in my Etsy shop. He's a keeper that man of mine, gotta love him, fleas and all.

 OK, so he only took two pictures and they were of the same thing.  Next time I will be a little more explicit in my "marching orders"

See something you just can't live without?  Check out the store, some are for sale.  etsy.com/shop/paperlinenpearls

Thanks for looking and happy hunting !!

Cheers,

What do flea market chics do during the week ... we go thrift store shopping of course.  Here are some of my Thrift Store Thursday finds.  Enjoy!

Beautiful silver plate, it only needed a little polishing

Love rhinestone buttons and old French perfume bottles.

Can a girl ever have too many vintage trophies?

I love English ironstone, chips and all.

Tea time at the Hotel Savoy

My annual Mother's Day flea market trip is this weekend with my great pal Monica.  We have been flea-ing together for about 15 years. Friends that flea together stay together.

Flea Market Therapy

I have often joked with my friends about starting a support group for people who are obsessed with going to flea markets, plan their vacations around flea markets or are compelled to talk about the last flea market they attended to anyone who will listen.  You know who you are.  I believe writing this blog is as close to achieving that goal as I will ever come. So for all of you out there that will not, or cannot be denied their flea market therapy, I will try to help with some visual reminders of what drives us to get up before dawn and spend our days in outdoor markets full of treasures.  Enjoy ...
