One Kings Lane photo shoot...
Vintatge Finds and instagram...
So I have a question... do you instagram? I do and I love love it! I love the idea of being able to have a camera with me at all times and having the editing tools there too. It is super fun and I am sure I post too many of the same pictures just from different angles.. this is how I use my regular camera too. I take a lot of pictures and then I look for just the right one (usually they are really the same but I like to abuse my use of the camera memory). I would love to know if you are on instagram and if you would like to have some new followers please let us all know your user name in the comments section...
I get a lot of emails and comments asking me to show some of my purchases from the flea markets.. I did take a couple of pics with my phone of some of my goodies! (The first picture is of the gorgeous peonies that I picked up before dinner today- not from the flea market but had to share). I found these beautiful pale green glass beads to mix in with my bone beads- love them... I also bought this great Union Jack - it is a little oversized and very thin. Perfect for a window or to just drape around.
This is one of my favorite things!!!! I am taking this in this morning to have it made into a pillow... so so loving this one. Just underneath it is a beautiful English wedding document that will be getting framed and off to the side is a great croc bag (it is the real thing) that I picked up for a steal about a month ago.
Wishing you a wonderful late start to the week!
Santa Monica flea market
We spent the better part of the morning at the flea market on Sunday. This was my first time to Santa Monica flea market and it was pretty successful as far as shopping. It was a small group of vendors but there was a pretty good selection. I found a lot of textiles and pillows which is always fine by me as those are a few of my favorite things! We even had a few celebrity sitings which made for a fun morning.
This booth was from elements- he had some really great pieces and I had a chance to talk with him which was nice once we had circled the market twice. I am looking forward to seeing him at Long Beach as he is expecting some pieces to come in from France in a week or so!
I was so close to buying this set of Lucite tables.. so fun!
I picked up a pillow with the embroidered dragons on it- love it!
(please excuse the dumpsters)
I totally love this mix. So fun for a girls room or beach house!
the pillows are from Indian Pink
We also discovered another small but really great flea market in Anaheim off of Lincoln and Lemon. Some of the best finds of the day are from there! Once I get a chance to go through all of my stuff I will have to share some things with you.

Current obsession: Mark Alexander Fabrics for Romo
When I was up at the PDC a few weeks ago I found some Mark Alexander fabrics and I am completely in love with them. They are soft, made in a wonderful group of colors with fresh and beautiful patterns.
I cannot wait to show you what I plan to make with them!! So fun!

That little something..
I think that every photo or space has that little something. The something that makes it great. For this space it is truly the way that the pillow contrasts with the rest of the space. It is so necessary but at the same time so different from everything going on in there. I love that little something....
I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I am having trouble not working.. you know how it is when you feel like you should be doing something constructive but everyone around you is rebelling? That is how this weekend is going...

A few months ago I ran across these amazing pillows from Callisto Home.
