Yesterday my friend Emily and I went to A Paris Street Market--just down the road and very wonderful. Though I hesitate to blog about it because it's getting very crowded--even when you arrive just after it opens at 8 a.m. But since I love you, I'll share!
My favorite find was the patterns--almost all of them are my size (and the children's ones will fit Audrey, Emma, or Ava) and with the exception of a hideously ugly Laura Ashley pattern that I would have adored when I was 13, they are beautiful. I'm having a hard time deciding what to make first.
And the purse made from Nancy Plays Nurse just had to come home with me. It was one of my all-time favorites as a little girl. I desperately wanted to be a candy striper and then a nurse. (Until my dad had a chainsaw accident one Saturday morning. After that I wanted to be a teacher. And then a model. And then a stewardess.)
Last month, this was my favorite find:
I'll be gone for the next market the first weekend of August, but I'm up for the first Saturday in September. Anyone wanna come along?
Fun treasures! The map's awesome!

Love and prayers friend,

P.S. I love the way you have your photos framed--reminds me of the good ol' polaroid with an updated fresh, whiteness!

My friend Leslie just passed on your blog link because you referenced the Paris Street Market. I had to comment on your "book bag"...I was so tempted to purchase the Mary Poppins one when I saw it on Saturday. Now that I see yours I wish I had. Kudos on your great finds.

Yes! Me! What wonderful finds. That tablecloth is great.
Love the paris bathroom too. So happy to hear you took on that wallpaper and got it done. Beautiful!
