TheFrench Flea Market

In a few short weeks...
We will be setting up for our 2nd Annual French Flea Market at the store.
This years event is already looking to be a memorable one!
Here is a quick overview of last year's event.

Even though it rained most of the day...it was an incredible experience!
This year's Flea Market is already looking like it will be an amazing event!
Because...I have some really exciting news!

First...
The event will take place July 9 and 10th (Friday and Saturday)...2 days instead of just one!

Second...
The Dinner Train that runs from Noblesville to Tipton on Weekends...
Is making a special run....just for the Flea Market! You can contact The Store for more details!

Third...
Rebecca Ersfeld  (Rebecca for Vintage Living)is coming as a Special Guest Vendor!!!

Fourth...
Tracey Leber(French Larkspur) is coming to photograph the event!!!



I Know ! Is this not the coolest news!
We are all so excited...
Even though we are very busy with the Mother's Day Rush...
This is where most of our conversations tend to lead...
And end!

Okay, so it's almost all we talk about!
I will give you more updates and photos of goodies I am working on as they are finished.

For now though...
I can tell you...
 That I have decided on a French Jardin Theme for my Space.
Everything that I have been finding or making is along this theme.

I have been making some beautiful linen handbags.
This one is mine...
I have been carrying it everyday for the past week! I truly love it!
I love linen anyway and this bag is so flirty and fun!
I have also been making the corsage type roses and peonies from the linen as well.
This one is made from a creamy white linen and organdy.
It is so pretty pinned on my cardigans and denim jacket.
But It would also look great on a bag or purse!
There is alot of other yummies in my studio right now...
And I will share some photos of them as well...
When I get a little bit more done.

As for the house renovation...
Well, it's really coming along!
And I will post some photos of the new utility room next week!

Oh,
I am getting a facelift here on my blog...
What do you think so far?
I love it!
I am working with the very talented Mandy at A La Parisienne.
I can't wait each day to get home from work...just to see what Mandy has done!
I hope everyone has a Wonderful Week!
Thank you for stopping by,
