Jasper's Cottage is all boxed up and in storage for a while as we settle in for some time in sunny Florida. Sunny and warm - just the way it's supposed to be.
Mr. French is busy working during the week but we've been trying to have new adventures on the weekends by visiting places we've never been before. Not too long ago we went to a fantastic vintage market called The Fancy Flea which is held a couple of times a year. I actually planned my arrival so that I wouldn't miss it this year and I'm so glad I did!
Doesn't it look awesome? As you can see, it was full of all sorts of pretty treasures but the best part of the day was getting to meet up with a friend from the blogging world. I was so excited when she said she and her husband were driving up for the show. I don't know how we found each other in the crowd but it was great to meet in person and walk around together. She has great advice about how to navigate this DIY world that I'm so new at. Thanks, Victoria, for hanging out with us! I hope we can do it again sometime.
Being surrounded by so many beautiful things, it was hard to pick just a couple of treasures to tote home. Right away we saw a cute sign which was perfect for our French-inspired living room but after wandering around for a couple of hours, I hadn't found anything else that spoke to me until, there it was on a table in front of a booth I'd walked past at least 20-hundred times. How had I missed this diamond in the rough?
But that's a story for next time.
Lovely post and your sign is darling! Always great to meet a real life blogging buddy.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an awesome market to attend...and meeting up with Victoria there makes it even more so! I love having the chance to meet blog friends.

I'm so glad we got to meet up with you also! After I left you a voicemail telling you I had a striped shirt on, I noticed about 6 other women walking around in striped shirts LOL...I told Kyran "Oh great, now suddenly every other woman has a striped shirt on".
ReplyDeleteWow, your husband got some amazing pictures! Toting around that camera really paid off!!! I only took a couple and we used our tablet so they're not the best quality.
Your jewelry holder was a great find and I know from IG that it looks even more beautiful now in its new beachy color:) Hopefully you guys can make it down to Fort Myers one of these days and we can do lunch or dinner, there's lots to do in this area! Hugs!
